So basically I’ve spent the last half an hour agonising over which sneak peek to share – these two lovebirds, plus so much Oak Valley loveliness means one happy camera and a lot of photos!! There’s just something about this shot in the greenhouses that I love :-D Keep an eye out for more of this gorgeous pair coming soon!

Claudine and Pieter-Philip are saying their I do’s up on the West Coast near Jacobs Bay so we decided to do something completely different with their Lovebirds engagement shoot! If you follow my blog, you’ll know how much I love my adopted home region here in the Overberg so on a clear winter’s day we set out to wander through the pine forests of Elgin, camera in hand, to start their photo story… I love the earthy feel to these images…

There’s still a nip in the air as winter winds down and a quietness out here in Elgin that you never get at any other time of year. The ground is still sleepy and spring still a few weeks off. I love shooting during winter (when it isn’t raining ;-)) because of the calm colours and low skies that diffuse the light so beautifully -you always get the best and gentlest skin tones during winter shoots. Anchen, Brandon and I drove all the way up to the top of Elgin to Mofam River Lodge for their Lovebirds engagement shoot and found the most magnificent river’s edge waiting for us! It felt like we had found a little bit of the American Rocky mountains, complete with fishermen on the lake, plaid shirts, cut logs and pine forests :-) I just LOVE this shoot and I hope you all enjoy the photos from my first session of the season! Anchen and Brandon, I can’t wait for a totally different vibe at your 12 Apostles wedding in November!! I hope you guys love the pics :-)… Make-up by the wonderfully talent Marli Basson.

Oooh, I love a wintery eshoot!! Here’s a sneak peek of Anchen and Brandon’s lakeside loveliness from their engagement shoot this last weekend :-)

This shoot is the reason I adore engagement shoots – it gave us time to get to know each other and feel relaxed in front of the camera before the big day but most of all to get a bit creative and have loads of FUN! Lika and Freddie are just the most gorgeous couple and don’t need much prompting on the fun side :-D Young and in love, it’s just a classic romance playing out right in front of you… happy sigh… These photos in the woods are such a great beginning to their wedding story and I can’t wait for their beautiful farm wedding in March!
