Featured on The Pretty Blog

I am truly grateful to have been recently featured on the Pretty Blog. My wedding workshop for photographers , which I held at Vivere Country House near Pretoria was featured as a styled shoot. I would again like to thank the incredibly talented and generous suppliers that I had the privilege to work alongside, and who contributed to making the event possible.

Fine Art Wedding Workshop 2015

I recently hosted my 2015 Fine Art Wedding Workshop at the beautiful Vivere Country House, near Pretoria. Over the 2 days, I covered a spread of technical, business and practical shooting topics, and we had a blast! A big thank you to all the excellent suppliers who contributed over the two days - all companies that I would STRONGLY recommend for high calibre weddings, and whom I hope that I would have the opportunity to work with again. A huge thank you to the following folks who delivered outstanding service and only enhanced their already burgeoning reputations in the industry:

Engagement Session: Kayan & Johann

I met Kayan & Johann last year when they booked me for their upcoming April wedding. I thoroughly enjoyed their outlook on life and love, especially since they both "serve" the community in two distinct capacities. Johann is an opthalmic registrar, and Kayan is doing her articles in human rights & environmental law. And because both their careers are steeped in academic tradition, they thought it would be cool to do their shoot at the Johannesburg Public library. It wasn't without it's challenges, but we managed to pull off some cool scenes. It was pretty interesting that they were setting up to shoot a few scenes for the upcoming Avengers movie just across the street - but that's strictly FYI. They are tying the knot at the stunning Vivere Country House in Pretoria East. Looking forward to it!
