Cindi and Paul in Zanzibar Part II
I've gotten into the habit of keeping a diary whenever I go on destination weddings, I have this idea in the back of my head of putting a book together or even an article for aspiring wedding photographers, but mostly its so that I can read it to V when I get back home. …

Cindi and Paul in Zanzibar Part I
OK, Zanzibar was amazing and Paul and Cindi's wedding was in the words of one guest ... incredible. Coasting along the sea in a wooden boat to Kwale Island, watching elephant shrew outside my room, listening to the monkeys going ballistic on my roof at night, trying to …

Back from Zanzibar
I'm finally back from Zanzibar, which was beautiful and exotic and all the things you expect from a tropical island on the edge of Africa. Give me a couple of hours to unpack my bags, answer the 212 emails in my mailbox, and get the beach sand out of my camera bag and …

Classic Vintage II
It is still raining, the cats are looking moody, the mamba is apparently being put back together (I don't even want to know) ... so no searing insights today, just an image I spotted while compiling the selection gallery for Madel and De Clercq.

We've arrived!!!
I've always claimed that I didn't mind SA photographers copying my images, and even giving answers straight from my blog to interview questions. Although I've always wondered what would happen if they got hired based on those images or those sound bites. Anyway, now it …

Take A Workaholic
If you thought my studio had too much stuff in it ... check out Jonathan's studio.
"So take a workaholic and place them in the dark, they become a simple insomniac" ... got to love that line.

Suzie and Malcolm at The Cradle
You can't beat the light at The Cradle, its one of those places that just always seems to produce amazing light no matter what time of day or year you happen to be there. OK, midday is a bit of a challenge, but the light at the bottom by the old trees, gets this amazing …

Tova and Brad at Shepstone Gardens
Monday, and its bucketing down in Joburg. The kind of rain that last week drowned the mamba, she's still in the shop and I'm heading towards Shepstone Gardens for Tova and Brad's chuppah. I had been kind of mournfully looking at the rain out of the bedroom window this …
Madel and De Clercq at Anderland
Did I ever tell you the story of the photographer whose car broke down in the rain in Potch? We were on our way to Anderland, my first wedding of the year, I'd just dropped Ben off with the groom and I was on my way to photograph Madel, when the clouds which had been …

2008
Its been an amazing year for us at the studio. We've shot so many beautiful weddings, made some incredible images and memories. From staring at a sky full of stars in Namibia, a soft soaking rain at a Hindu wedding on a private island in the Indian Ocean, golden sunsets …

Taken this Saturday, inner city Joburg, where Nuno and Renata (and guests) raised the roof at the Rand Club.
Our last official wedding of the season, thank you all for your support this year and for taking the time to clock almost half …

Formals, formals and fluffy marketing pieces
So this one is kind of for photographers but also for clients, of mine and other photographers, well, because blogs can't just be fluffy marketing pieces where you see new pics week after week with a small description of how gorgeous X looked and how handsome and brave …

Brooke and LJ at Oakfield Farm
Two more days until the studio closes and we're slowly catching up with the blog posts. A couple of weekends ago, I had the pleasure of photographing Brooke and LJ's wedding at Oakfield Farm. LJ is the infamous LJ Urbani of Urbani Photography in the UK, which meant that …

Bernadette and Guy at Shangri-La
Ok, so I've been trying to catch up on weddings before we close down for the year, which is why we've only been having a couple of images per wedding. A couple of weekends ago, Kim and I went up to Bela Bela (I love saying Bela Bela, try it in a deep Elvis voice) to …

Ronwyn and Bevan at Hazeldene Hall
Big weekend for us at Hazeldene Hall, one of our coolest couples of the year and a venue that I've been wanting to shoot for a while - it features a view of the Hillbrow tower and is run by Word of Mouth, killer combo for me. Naturally, Saturday, Summer and Johannesburg …
