Fielies & Melissa {I’m yours}

Tuesday, August 17, 2010 3:05 pm

So I’ve had some shy couples in the past, but these too were by far the shyest I have come across, and I have to admit I really loved it! When someone is that shy, the moment they show someone emotion it 1st off means they trust you (thank you guys) and second of all shows the truest emotion. I met Fielies and Melissa a couple of days before they booked me for their wedding, and we got to do this amazing engagement session on Fielies’ family farm in Hectorspruit. It was a warm day on the farm, and we took some lovely photos at a farm house and an old building, but when we got to the cows the light was perfect sun set, and the dust was kicked up by the cattle – 2 of them decided to fight, I always get lucky enough to see animals in a fight (not that I like it, but hey, it is nature) – I almost didnt want to leave the spot because it was perfect! Thank you to my lovely couple who shared their afternoon with me.

Fielies and Melissa are getting married in a month on their farm in Kaapmuiden, in the Lowveld. Can’t wait to be part of their day.

Ruan & Mary-Ann {I’m yours}

Wednesday, July 14, 2010 12:25 pm

As far back as I can remember Ruan has been a real ‘stout gat’.Ruan is also from my home town, Komatipoort. Mary-Ann- and Ruan’s parents were good friends when the two of them were little. During the holidays Mary-Ann and her family would go and visit Ruan’s family on the farm. But they both grew up, Mary-Ann a city girl and Ruan went off to boarding school. Their paths crossed again (years later) when Mary-Ann visited her father in Komati. Her sister, Malenke, who is getting married to Boeta next week, arranged a braai with friends so that Mary-Ann could meet some of the Komati people. I’m sure Mary-Ann never expected to see Ruan there, but there he was, this grown up boy she used to know as a little stout gat. But what she didn’t know is that Ruan has always had a crush on her and “single girl” is a rare word in Komati, so Ruan had to watch out for all the other guys ready to fall for Mary-Ann! It was love at first sight, ok maybe not first sight, but you get what I’m saying. Its like those Hollywood movies. And the rest as they say is history.

Mario & Nataliya ~ Vienna

Monday, June 14, 2010 8:59 am

It is amazing to be able to shoot at locations like these, (SA has them too…I just dont know about all of them…yet). I met Mario and Nataliya through Andreas Hauke. Mario & Nataliya are getting married in July this year and wanted to get some couple photos of themselves before the wedding. Nataliya works as a make-up artist in a theatre and Mario is a chef and part time DJ (see tomorrow’s post for DJ pics), they live in the AWESOME Vienna, Austria. Nataliya organized the locations for us, first we went to a function hall in the city centre, then to a old school library for the second part and finally the park. If only I had these locations in my back yard…I envy people living in the city, the locations speak for themselves.

Schalk & Rynali

Thursday, June 3, 2010 12:22 pm

Schalk & Rynali are the sweetest couple. They are getting married in September, just outside of Pretoria. My favourite question to ask; How did they meet?

They met 8 years ago on a blind date…yeah, I thought that only happens in the movies. My blind dates normally turn out to be really weird guys with the strangest habbits ;) [note to self: give blind dates another go] Anywhoo, both of them hated the idea of going on this date and tried hard to get out of it, but , their mutual friend, friendly forced them to go on the blind date. Needless to say, at the end of their date Cupid used his magic and the two were in love, and its crystal clear that they still are.

Hendrik & Michelle

Friday, March 12, 2010 6:51 pm

Before I start this post I want to say: Michelle, happy birthday! I hope that you have a great day and year.

Hendrik is one of my best friends for high school. He is getting married to Michelle, whom I only met the other day at the shoot, but heard a lot about, the day Hendrik met her, he phoned and told me he met the girl of his dreams…seriously! But they did not see each other for a year after they met. And then one day they ran into each other and the rest is history :) She is so beautiful from the inside and out, you know and Hendrik knows he’s the luckiest man on earth. Why I’m friends vir Hendrik; when he phones you cannot answer without smiling because you know he’s gonna give you a tappit surname/nickname, example; “hallo rensie van der merwe” or “hallo poepies” – I hope thats not my nickname! If you are drinking coke —> he’ll make you laugh so hard that it comes out of your nose :D He always cheers you up, no matter how bad you feel – you even feel good when coke comes out of your nose. He reminds me of Chandler from friends – yes he’s very sarcastic and, he always keeps in touch with his friends!

Giulio & Rene

Friday, March 12, 2010 3:30 pm

Giulio and Rene are from the lowveld, we did their shoot at the Botanical Gardens in Nelspruit. These two were so shy when we started but when as we got to the end of the shoot they really started having fun, they are both so down to earth :) Giulio & Rene are getting married in in April at Umbhaba Lodge in Hazyview. I’ve taken a couple of weddings in Hazyview and really just love it, they have stunning venues in that area.
