Gareth & Kerrey – The duBoirs
Gareth and Kerrey came down from Joburg to get married at The duBoirs near Hillcrest, it was a great day and they were really fun to work with. Gareth is the organiser between the two, while Kerrey seemed calm and collected. The ceremony was held under the big tree in The duBoirs gardens followed by some heartfelt speeches and a good party at the reception. There wasn’t much afternoon light to work with when it came to doing the creative photos, so I had to use the surroundings to create some mood.

Matt & Bonny – Eden Lassie
Bonny was a bride who knew exactly what she wanted, the day was planned with military precision and everything ran so smoothly that this wedding was a dream to photograph. There were so many stunning little details, from the reception decor through to Bonny’s bouquet. They both got ready (seperately) at Matt’s mothers home in Gillitts, which was wonderfully decorated so it provided plenty of prettiness for the photographs.
The boys had a relaxing game of pool at the pub before getting in to their suits, while the girls were having a lot of fun making sure Bonny was taken care of.
I’ve seen plenty of anxious grooms waiting at the alter for their brides, but Matt was cool, calm and collected the whole time. Well, it seemed like it anyway but you never know what’s happening beneath the surface! When Bonny did her bouquet tossing it got stuck in the draping, what a classic moment! Luckily there was a back-up bouquet.
It was a wonderful wedding, thank you Matt & Bonny for making me a part of your big day and congratulations!

Lubz & Tabisa – The duBoirs
Most of the couples who’s weddings I photograph are from Johannesburg, and Lubabalo and Tabisa are no different. They were such a great couple, both of them were full of fun and humble at the same time.
It was a wonderful sunny morning when I arrived at The du Boirs for their wedding. They were running late so I walked around the venue shooting the scenery for quite a while, the gardens are immaculately landscaped with a little stream down below. The du Boirs has become one of my favourite venues to shoot. It’s spacious, upmarket, it has comfortable accommodation and a bridal salon, and to top it all off it’s not even a twenty minute drive home!
Michelle from The Perfect Plan did a wonderful job behind the scenes with her meticulous organisation, while Dave from Brand New Day Imaging did the video.
Congratulations Lubabalo and Tabisa!

Justin & Ramola – Camelot Estate
Justin is an IT fundi, he said one of the reasons he booked me was because he liked my website. Thanks Justin! These two are so madly in love and their wedding was a wonderful festive affair. The ceremony was held at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovahs Witnesses in New Germany followed by the creative photo shoot and reception up at scenic Camelot in Hillcrest. It was great to do a local wedding for a change, it was a 10 minute drive home afterwards. Congratulations Justin & Ramola, hope you two remain as happy together as you were on your wedding day!

Robin & Anitha – Chantecler Hotel
I went in to Apples For Apples in Durban to see about a new battery for my macbook, and got chatting to one of the staff. He asked me what I do, so I replied “I’m a photographer”. He asked “Do you do weddings?”. Three months later I was shooting his and Anitha’s wedding at Chantecler Hotel in Bothas Hill, just down the road from where I live. They were a really fun couple to photograph, and they clearly meant the world to each other. Congratulations Robin and Anitha!
