What a wonderful day of fun we had doing Desire & Ben-Philip’s e-shoot at their parent’s home. Unfortunately it rained the whole afternoon and most of the pics had to be done inside. But with such an awesome home, great couple and lots of laughter, we had no shortage of great areas to shoot. Here are a few pics of their shoot.

We were very fortunate to be part of Richard and Sandy’s wedding on the 11th of December 2010. They had a small intimate wedding with a few hand picked guests at a beautiful venue, Lethabo Estate, just outside Johannesburg. They involved their kids in the whole ceremony and it was a very special and precious time. Here is the photobook that we created for them.

SA United for Bafana Bafana

This afternoon was an experience to remember. We joined more than 180 000 fellow South Africans to show our support for Bafana Bafana in the 2010 Soccer World Cup. The atmosphere was electric and the sound of thousands of vuvuzelas deafening. We felt so proud and excited to be a part of such a positive event in the history of our country.

Viva Bafana Bafana!!

Here below are a few photo’s captured on my Sony HDR-XR520E HD Video Camera.

What an electric experience. Streets in Sandton, South Africa, came to a standstill when almost 180 000 locals flooded into the streets to show their support for Bafana Bafana. We joined the crowd with our two boys and had the experience of a lifetime.

Wedding Workshop at Olive Mystery

What an awesome day we had last Friday, attending a wedding workshop, run by Natasha and Deon du Preez. The location of the workshop was the Olive Mystery wedding venue, situated close to Bapsfontein.

Natasha and Deon have such a natural and relaxed approach to their style of wedding photography. And as a team, they also compliment each other beautifully. I love the way they interact and communicate with a bride, and / or bridal couple. We learned so much and had lots of fun & time to take beautiful pictures of our models. They were dressed in the most stunning dresses from Papilio and Immagika.

A beautiful sunny winter’s day on the Highveld makes for great family photographs. We decided to post a few family photos again as Jordan has grown so much and he is on the verge of sitting up by himself. What a wonderful gift he has been to our family. We are so blessed to have three wonderful sons and the two older brothers are wonderful helpers.
