Mandy met me about a year ago while she was venue shopping for the big day. Originally they were getting married on the 19th which was Saturday, unfortunately her venue canceled on her and they had to shift the day to the Friday. However everything turned out great! Friday was a wonderful day and Saturday I woke up with a rain storm. I was so glad they got married on Friday :)

I'm very excited about Asara, a brand new venue opening up in Stellenbosch on the 1st of May. Asara is a stunning wine estate outside of Stellebosch. The venue has a beautiful banquette hall for functions as well as a hotel and restaurant with a view over the mountains and dam.
Janie & Pierre chose this venue for their reception. Their wedding was the first one to be held on Asara. What a great venue for photographs...they have such a wide variety to use from buildings and vineyards to a huge dam and stunning mountain back drops.

Last Friday I did my fist wedding on Langverwagt. It was a perfect day! The wedding was held outside under the huge trees and the reception was in the "hoenderhok" hall. The hall was lit by candles only and created a wonderful atmosphere!
Have a look at the slideshow HERE.
Last weekend I did another shoot at the Standkombuis in Yzerfontein. I still can't believe the sky in that place! Absolutely stunning blue!!
Martha & Bennie met in the UK and have been living there ever since. They decided to have the wedding on the west coast in South Africa and i'm very happy about that, because I had the privilege to shoot it :)
I had an amazing time and I think the photos are great to! Have a look at the slideshow here.
Sunday I had so much fun with these 5 girls! They emailed me some time ago and asked me if I would be able to do a shoot for them, as this was the first time, in 10 years, that all of them got together again. They have been best friends since high school and did a photo shoot in their matric year and now they wanted to follow the tradition...
We found a few fun spots in the area as well as an amazing RED door on a farm outside stellenbosch!
