PSA: FB and WA are driving me insane at the moment - all my notifications have just stopped coming through 😒 I have to go into the apps, open the chats, and only then can I view new messages. And anything that goes into my "hidden requests" folder, doesn't seem to update every day - I just found messages there from a week ago, even though I check that folder daily 😭

If you think I have been ghosting you, I'm truly sorry. Technology is just failing me at the moment. I have tried every setting under the sun and no luck on the web version or my phone app.

Send help...via email...or carrier pigeon.... 🙈

{FEATURE SESSION - Erika & Stephen}

How is this shoot already A YEAR AGO today?! And also, how have I never shared any images from this epic session? 😳⁠
⁠
This awesome couple who live all the way in Michigan got in touch with me to take some couples portraits while they were in South Africa attending a friend's wedding. I LOVE the Drakensberg, and jumped at the opportunity to travel to Cathedral Peak with Dean for this session. ⁠
⁠
Day One's shoot involved an early morning hike up on the mountain paths overlooking the dam and Day Two was down at the dam. As is typical of the mountains, we woke up to heavy mist on Day Two but these guys were such troopers and even with the rain we got some great shots, honestly some of my most favourites EVER!⁠
⁠
I hadn't been to since I was in my teens and this weekend was definitely one ticked off the bucket list 🫶🏻 We even had time to go for a horse ride 🐴 and I probably picked up at least 5kgs with the buffet meals 🤣⁠

Erika is a photographer herself - go check out her work at .black.photography22 on Instagram 📷

Right before the world shut down in 2020, a group of wedding professionals came together to plan a styled shoot in the heart of suburban Randburg. It was such a special day with some truly awesome vendors, but sadly we had no idea what the next months and years would bring.

The local wedding industry is still in recovery mode, more than 3 years later. Be kind to your service providers, many of us have fought tooth and nail to keep our businesses alive because this is truly our passion and we really do want to make sure you have the most amazing day possible 💞
