I’ve made a cake with whole cooked oranges before and it was wonderful but the Food Fox took this to a whole other level with the olive oil, semolina and caramel orange syrup! The chinese five spice adds immeasurably to the cake’s fragrance and is totally inspired! She mentioned that the oil makes the cake last a lot longer too – but who ever heard of left over cake??? ;-) Find her super recipe here on our weekly food column for the ever-inspiring Pretty Blog.

Even the EPIC length of this post can’t do justice to this amazing wedding! Lushinka and Kyle shared SO many laughs and the best of times with their nearest and dearest :-) Die Woud was the most stunning backdrop to their winter wedding – my first time shooting there and I can’t wait for the next! The lovely Sam and Keelyn at I Do Box ran the day beautifully and even the weather played along! This really was a wedding to remember… and grooms, if you’re wondering how to treat your gorgeous wife-to-be on her wedding morning why don’t you pack a basket full of champagne, Ferrero Rocher and hand picked flowers to send to her and her bridesmaids while they’re getting ready – that’s style!

I am delighted beyond words that my incredible bride Silke Bosman and her gorgeous hubby Brink won Sarie Bruidspaar van die Jaar 2016!!! It was THE most amazing wedding at stunning 401 Rozendal not least because Silke is the sister of my wonderful friend and constant inspiration Heike from Fleur le Cordeur who did all the breath-taking florals! It’s been so surreal and completely happy-making to see Silke on the cover of this latest issue of Sarie Bruid! Her flawless make-up and hair were by Yolande du Toit Professional Hair and Make-up and dress by the lovely Olivelli.

It’s a joy to describe what it’s like to photograph a creative shoot with these awesome women/friends/talents!! It’s fun, fast, busy, creative and 100 laughs a minute!! They really are days I cherish!! This shoot was extra special as it was the day before beautiful Silke’s baby was due – the only day the four of us could find to fit in her maternity shoot! What a riot of colour and magnificent florals all set against an amazing back drop of art, texture and hand painted patterns!! The rain was lashing down outside but inside it was all sunshiney yellow, baby bumps, goats, so much beauty and even more laughs! Enjoy the photos! Flowers, concept and styling by Fleur le Cordeur, make-up and hair by Yolande du Toit with model Silke Bosman.
