Working with Andrea Carlyle was a treat. From bribing the security guard to scouting the streets of Jozi for that special spot, It was fun, fun fun! This is what makes wedding photography irresistible. The unknown. The strangers you meet. The promise of rain when all you need is a little sunshine. And of course the couple…
Ceremony: Narina Trogon
Reception: Skyline Gardens
In the early months of the year 1909, Mr Julius Jeppe was contemplating the formation of a Country Club and the construction of a golf course in Waterkloof.
On the 12th of April 1910 a public meeting was held for all gentlemen who might be interested in forming a Country Club, 300 members gathered and formed the founder members group.
On 8 October 1910 Pretoria Country Club officially opened, nestled in the scenic beauty of Waterkloof, one of the city’s most prestigious suburbs.
It is at this prestigious venue that Jaco + Karien celebrated their newly wed status after exchanging vows in the Pretoria East NG Church.
Most of the day was overcast and wet. Karien impressed with her “do anything to get the shot” attitude by getting her beautiful dress stained with mud.
Let us raise a glass to the Fearless bride!

Out with the old, in with the new…Happy 2012!
Living in Johannesburg and experiencing the Jozi Vibe provides the perfect backdrop for a great photographic year to come. Enjoy this lovely view from SKYLINEGARDENS rooftop cocktail bar.
The Cradle is a dramatic and original wedding venue in a World Heritage site just 30 minutes from both Johannesburg and Pretoria. Looking through the photographs from this lovely wedding a couple of weeks ago, I once again realise how blessed one is when you can do what you love. Having such a wonderful couple to work with is the proverbial cherry on top!
Thanks to Nicolette and Keagan who helped me on the day.
Enjoy!

I had the privilege to shoot one of the most Professional School Revues in August. It is not just any production that goes on show at Carnival City on the East Rand of Gauteng. The lighting was spectacular. The dancing and singing out of this world. Truly a once in a lifetime experience. I took the liberty to include the amazing “Thank you” I received from the organisers. After all, “thank you” is the best reward you can get…

First-time visitors consistently discover that Newtown IS the cultural hub of Jozi – perhaps even of Africa – and that there is culture here all year round.
There are some really exciting new developments going on: read the Mary Fitzgerald Square gets revamped story, and the Hotel for Newtown story, to find out why people really want to live in this area, as well as visit for top-class entertainment.
If you have still not been to Newtown, give it a try! It’s clean, safe and you are bound to find SOMETHING that blows your hair back …!! http://www.newtown.co.za/
