What’s something you will stop EVERYTHING for?
Beautiful light. If the sun suddenly does something magical during your shoot, whatever we were doing five seconds ago no longer matters.

What has farm life taught you about photography?
That you can’t control everything — and sometimes the unexpected thing becomes the beautiful thing.

What’s the most glamorous and least glamorous version of you?
Saturday: photographing champagne, wedding gowns and candlelit tables.
Sunday: gumboots, chicken p**p and collecting eggs.

What do you collect without meaning to?
Photographs. Animals. Hobbies. Beautiful little moments. And apparently chickens.

Shout out to Franscke Marais for taking these portraits of me.

One day, those little hands won’t be quite so little. The cuddles will change, the girls will grow, and this season of family life will become a collection of memories.

That’s why I love family sessions so much.

No perfect posing. No pressure for everyone to behave. Just bare feet in the sand, windswept hair, cuddles, laughter and the beautiful little connections that make your family yours.

This gorgeous family joined me on Wilderness Beach for an evening of simply being together — and these are the photographs they’ll get to keep long after this season has passed.

If you’ve been saying, “We really need to book family photos…” — this is your sign.

You don’t need a special occasion.
Your family, exactly as they are right now, is reason enough.

There’s something so beautifully powerful about a mother waiting to meet the little person she already loves so deeply.

For this maternity session, our gorgeous mama-to-be wore the dreamiest cotton dress from Maiden Mother Crone clothing — simple, natural and timeless, and absolutely perfect against the tones of the beach.

Some weddings prove that less really can be more.

This beautiful elopement wasn’t about a big guest list—it was about creating an unforgettable experience for the people who mattered most. Instead of stretching their budget across hundreds of guests, they poured their hearts into every little detail, creating a day filled with intention, connection, and so much joy.

From incredible food and thoughtful styling to board games, fun props, and meaningful little touches around every corner, every detail invited their guests to slow down, laugh, connect, and simply enjoy being together. It wasn’t just a wedding… it was an experience.

A huge shout-out to Butterfly Events, whose creativity, organisation, and incredible attention to detail brought this vision to life so beautifully. Every element flowed seamlessly, and it was clear how much love and care had gone into planning this special day.

And, of course, a special mention to one of our favourite wedding officiant in the Garden Route, Gavin, whose heartfelt, genuine ceremonies always make couples (and photographers!) feel so at ease. You have such a special gift for making every ceremony personal and unforgettable.

To every couple dreaming of an intimate wedding: this is your reminder that you don’t need a big wedding to create a magical one. Sometimes, the smallest celebrations leave the biggest impact.

Venue, details, incredible food, meaningful moments, and a whole lot of love… this is what elopement dreams are made of.

Why Elopements Are Making a Comeback

Gone are the days when elopements meant running away in secret.

Today, an elopement is a beautifully intentional way to get married. It’s about stripping away the pressure, traditions, and expectations, and choosing a wedding day that feels completely authentic to you.

Whether it’s exchanging vows on a mountain at sunrise, beneath ancient trees, beside the ocean, or in a quiet little chapel, elopements are all about celebrating your love story in a way that feels meaningful.

One of the reasons elopements are becoming so popular is because couples are choosing experiences over expectations. Instead of planning a day around hundreds of guests, they create a day centred on each other—filled with adventure, emotion, and unforgettable moments.

There’s more time to slow down, breathe, explore beautiful places, and soak in every second. The day becomes less about hosting and more about simply being together.

As a photographer, I absolutely love photographing elopements because every moment feels real. There are no distractions, no rushed timelines—just genuine connection, heartfelt vows, and a day that unfolds naturally.

Whether it’s just the two of you or a handful of your closest family and friends, an elopement gives you the freedom to celebrate your love in the most personal way possible.

At the end of the day, your wedding doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.

It simply has to feel like you.

Would you choose a traditional wedding or an intimate elopement?

If you’re planning your wedding, here’s your reminder…

Don’t choose a photographer because they take pretty photos.

Choose the one who makes you feel calm, notices the little things, and tells your story in a way that still gives you goosebumps years later.

That’s always my goal.

There’s something so special about being 16

The laughter, the friendships, the confidence, and all those beautiful moments that deserve to be remembered forever.

I recently had the privilege of photographing this gorgeous birthday girl and her friends as they celebrated her sweet 16. Watching them laugh, pose, and simply enjoy being together reminded me just how important it is to capture these fleeting seasons of life.

Birthday photoshoots aren’t just about photos—they’re about preserving memories, friendships, and moments that will be treasured long after the candles have been blown out.

Looking for a photographer for a birthday celebration, matric farewell, family gathering, or special milestone in the Garden Route?

I’d love to help tell your story.

Follow along for more real moments, beautiful memories, and photography inspiration.
