I arrived at Brenaissance where Tumi, her mom and her bridesmaid were getting ready. Tumi’s wedding was on a Monday, the venue was closed to the public and provided a quiet, calm atmosphere for the ladies. I asked why they had chosen a Monday to get married and their reason was due to the specific…
@bakedtheblog & @hm
Aisha and I shot this beautiful dress on our way to lunch recently. I really loved the wide, open space of this story as well as the bright orange and green colouring. The blogger outfit trend at the moment seems to be very monotone so Aisha and I rebelled and shot in a harsh sunlight…
@Sarahlanga – edgy reflections
This outfit is my favourite outfit that Sarah has styled. I really love shooting edgy sporty outfits and I loved the effect of her home windows reflecting the mountain. Reflections give the story a dreamy feel and softens the background, which is what I aim for in my shoots. A fellow creative introduced me to…
exploring with @bakedtheblog
The Baked the Blog team went for a lovely lunch at one of Aisha’s favourite places last week. I am so glad that our family has grown and am so excited for what Aisha has planned for this year! Aisha and I have been so busy lately, we hadn’t shot in quite some time. It…
@throughshadedeyes – dark light
This shoot was one of my recent favourites, I just loved the beautiful soft light that was reflecting off the dark wall behind Tokelo. I loved the black on black look and brightened up the story by adding in the pink bougainvillea in my shots every now and then. Tokelo’s styling was perfect and our…
Heather & Tim’s Wedding
Heather and Tim’s rustic DIY wedding was set in the Cederberg Mountains just outside Citrusdal. I arrived at the venue while the family was setting up the decor and venue which gave me a chance to see the before and after process. The family did an amazing job at making sure everything was absolutely perfect…
Sunset Fields
I shot for Bernie K. recently who was styled by Lee Fraser. Lee styled her in this gorgeous mustard dress which suited our location perfectly. Bernie wanted a flowing dress to model in and a dress like this is a dream come true when I shoot with first time models. Your first photoshoot can be…
@faveonlinestore swimwear
I photographed Fave Online’s swimwear range just before summer ended and thought I would share a few sneak peeks as winter approaches and we all need a little warmth in our lives. Fave Online is an online swimwear store that caters for ALL sizes and sells edgy, fashionable bikinis for size 28’s as well as…
@OldKhaki and @ThroughShadedEyes
Tokelo is one of my regular clients and one of the most loyal bloggers when it comes to her blog. She is always thinking of new and creative ways to express her love for fashion. She is always so organised and puts a huge amount of effort into setting up our shoot locations, putting together…
@trashcanrebellion Sports Luxe
Meira visited Cape Town recently and we shot this sporty look near Kalk Bay. We wanted a sporty location but we didn’t want it to be too obvious so I suggested shooting with a tennis court behind us and not literally on the court. I played around with blur and shots through the netting of…
Heather & Tim
Tomorrow I am shooting Heather & Tim’s beautiful wedding. Before their wedding day, we met up to photograph their complimentary couples shoot which I offer to clients who may want to use the images for invites, engagement announcements or simply practice for their wedding day. Heather and Tim had a popular location in mind so…
….and the winner is….
It was extremely difficult choosing a winner for this competition but I have finally chosen the lucky “phonetographer” who will put the photographic based HTC One A9 to use. The selection process: I selected the top 30 brilliant photos, I narrowed those down to the top 10 images and finally narrowed THOSE down to the top…
