Engagement Session George – Hennie & Jacobu

Couples

I am not big on watching television, so I had now idea that Hennie entered the very popular Afrikaans reality program ‘Boer Soek n Vrou’.  I met Hennie when I was the photographer at his twin brother’s wedding two years ago.  I received Jacobu’s enquiry just after they got engaged and was curios to see how the young lady looked that stole Hennie’s hart.  I did a bit of ‘research’ on Facebook and there it was, apparently their engagement was kinda news and I soon learned why, their story is a unique one, one for the books!

I only remember Hennie as the brother that loved to dance, the one with the twinkle of mischief in his eyes.  Seeing him with Jacobu was just super sweet, the way he playfully made her feel super special.  Jacobu is just a sweetheart and the most memorable about her is the fact that she does not know how pretty she is and that in itself just makes her even more beautiful.  She truly is beautiful from the inside out. From her first email I just knew that it was going to be awesome to capture their wedding, I can hardly wait!

This ‘Boer’ does not need to ‘soek’ anymore, he found his soon to be ‘Vrou’

Family Portraits

Having a bit of fun at yesterday’s family portrait session. Angie and I have come a long way in our friendship. She shared a very emotional time in my life with me and was a constant support in that difficult time.  It was a privilege to capture these portraits for her and her family.

Garden Route Far Hills – Jade & Mariska

Weddings

I thought my last wedding for the season was going to be on the 7th of May, but then Mariska contacted me on the 18th of April.  Mariska and Jade are from the Northern Cape and was in the Garden Route planning their wedding for the 28th of May, when she phoned me I asked very surprised if it was for 2016?  Yes for 2016, a wedding planned in one single week!  Everything just came together perfectly!  Their only request was to have their couple portraits taken before the ceremony as they wanted to celebrate with family and friends directly after the ceremony.  I fortunately convinced them to do just a few portraits after the ceremony, so glad we did, the light was gorgeous! Congratulations to a beautiful couple and thank you for sharing your special day with me. The Far Hills Country Lodge provided the perfect backdrop for the beautiful sunset portraits. I again got the chance to work with Eon from Eon Media, cannot wait to see the video.  Wilna ensured that the bride looked absolutely stunning and thanks to Melany the bridesmaids looked gorgeous, always a pleasure to see you.
