Slade and Nicola’s wedding at The Moon and Sixpence – Part 2
One thing i loved about this wedding was just how relaxed and calm Slade and Nicola were. We had them in all sorts of spots for the creative shoot. Andrea did some scouting before hand and found two off venue sites, where we did the creatives. It was a perfect afternoon with tons of light. The first venue was at the green door barn. While we were there, we were very excitedly asked to join the owner in a drink to toast the bride and groom. Luckily we could use the excuse of having to get back to the wedding, or i fear we may still be stuck at the old Ooms place having a few drinks. After the...

This past weekend I had the pleasure to assist Andrea Carlyle at Moon and Six Pence for the wedding of Slade and Nicola. This was such a stunning wedding I’m going to share it in two parts. The morning started out cold and overcast but by midday it had cleared up and was promising a warm and beautiful afternoon. After meeting Andrea at the venue we got started on the decor shots, Nicola and Slade choose a white and sliver colour palate I just love the pure classic white decor it is so elegant very much like this gorgeous couple. While we were busy with the decor shots Slade met up with...

read moreRand Club Wedding – Black and White process
I love processing my images to black and white. There are times when some images just lend themselves more visually to black and white than in colour. After tiding up my hard drive today i came across some old images from a friends wedding at the Rand Club in Johannesburg. She had asked me to take some photos from the day as she only hired her photographer for the ceremony and family shots. I of course said yes. So when i came across these today i thought perfect opportunity to play in Photoshop I’ve been using Adobe Lightroom for months now and every now and then will jump to...

I love being creative and having the opportunity to design for pure pleasure, so when the opportunity came about to design some DIY templates for an awesome wedding inspiration site called Prima Donna Bride i couldn’t resist. Prima Donna Bride will be featuring my designs and photographs on their site for you to view and download. I designed the templates in such a way that anyone can download them and use them for their own themed vintage high tea , tea party, bridal shower, party’s etc. I used a classic feel, something that reminded me of my own late grand mothers taste in...

The second part of our shoot was on location along the most beautiful little river in Gauteng.It was the perfect picnic setting. The client wanted his model to be posed in a way to create a vision of a romantic fairytale spot, where a gorgeous girl indulges in an amazing feast. I think we managed to capture that idea nicely. The afternoon dappled light wasn’t very strong under the willow trees, and we needed to pop some light back into the shade. We wanted to use natural light, so with the help of two assistants we had 1 large and 1 medium reflectors to reflect light onto the models body,...
