Lauren and Corné chose the majestic landscapes of Holden Manz in Franschhoek for their wedding celebration. Living in New Zeeland, they wanted to treat their guests to the stunning vineyards and epic views that the Cape Winelands have to offer and without having been to the venue, they chose it unanimously from the website. We planned everything via skype and e-mail, but I only met them the week before the wedding and I was immediately struck by how much they loved each other. It was as obvious as the mountains encapsulating the vineyards and as bright as a Summer's day. Their wedding was...
City Scapes (part 2): Johannesburg
This city conjures up images of dust and coal, of strife and success, of money and mayhem. This city runs by its own set of rules and if you look closely, you will see life pushing through the blocks of concrete and love thriving on the cold, dark streets. If you listen carefully, you will hear the beat of the drums and the many voices that give it its song. This is Johannesburg. This is the city of gold. ...
City Scapes (part 1): New York
New York. The city that never sleeps... Yellow cabs, the concrete jungle, ticking clocks.

She wants to entice her guests into a world of adventure and mystery and show them that hard lines and everyday objects can create the most beautiful silhouettes. [gallery link="none" size="large"...

The premise of this shoot is based upon the idea that these dresses drawn on paper, could get a life of their own and become paper dresses. We wanted to create an air of mystery and a sense of the ethereal and give some of the images an almost “Tim Burton” effect and dream-like quality. Take a stroll with us through memory lane...

JP & James (Part 2): Vrede en Lust, Franschhoek
JP and James were two amazing souls who crossed our path and we were delighted to be a part of their special day(s). We helped them to plan and create an opulent and elegant wedding that they could share with friends and loved ones from (literally) around the globe. Vrede en Lust in Franschhoek was the backdrop against which the masses of white roses and orchids were displayed and even the finest details, down to the last crystal in the chandeliers spoke of luxury and romance. Guests were taken to various parts of the estate as the day unfolded and were treated to spectacular views in...
