So without further ado, let me thank them once again ….firstly, thank you to Diamant Estate ….I am so excited about your venue …loved the incredible light that we got there …besides it being a beautiful venue!  I sincerely hope that I have many opportunities to photograph many stunning weddings at your venue!  Thank you also to the wonderful team at Olivelli, Cape Town for supplying us with stunning wedding gowns!   A big thank you to Tanya from Aartsappel for the gorgeous bouquets!  I would also like to thank Jessica for the very unusual jewellery!

A huge shout out to Clarita from Clarita Smit Make-up for being my right hand man (or woman should i say) …..this talented lady nailed her brief to perfection!

And then a huge thank you to my wonderful models, Rafaella, Julian & Adrienne ..you guys were naturals!

I would also like to point out that the African neckpiece was made by my very talented niece, Sinead Malan!

And finally a big thank you to my son, Jarred ..who worked behind the scenes for me and was a great reflector holder!

And I am so excited to say …..that the next styled shoot is already in the planning stages!

]]> Nooitgedacht wedding Stellenbosch Cape Town photographer The one season the year that most brides overlook is winter!  And it is actually such a pity as sometimes this is the season that offers so much.  A winter wedding has so many advantages.  Firstly, ninety per cent of the time suppliers and venues offer reduced rates during this quiet period, secondly winter skies can make absolutely stunning backrops to your wedding photos!  I have posted two images here to just you an example.  Thirdly sunset happens at the perfect time and still gives you plenty of time to go and party with your guests.  The only thing you have to consider is that the church services is slightly earlier and a stunning “stole” has to be bought to keep the bride warm.  Yes, there is a good possibility of rain ….but every professional photographer should be experienced in handling this plus more often than not …there is always a break in the rain at some stage to grab some stunning photos …and if there isnt, then other creative alternatives can be found like utilising your stunning venue to its maximum!  And if there is a bride out there who would love some images in the rain …then I am your photographer!!!!
