We seem to be down in The Midlands a lot lately, and Netherwood is one of those places that seems part myth, part typical Midlands kind of venues. A glass chapel on top of a hill overlooking some of the wildest country that KZN has to offer, Nguni cows in the distance, 360 degree views and the kind of landscapes that wedding photographers dream of. So Lisa and I drove down early, early one morning, I mean so early that I was tempted to hoot outside the gate of the neighbor that keeps waking me up every week day as he leaves for work. It was still dark as we left Joburg, and headed down south. Definitely worth the four hour drive, worth standing outside later that night, freezing my fingertips off getting the perfect night time portrait of these two, worth the dodgy coffee I had at a nameless petrol station – I think it was David Lynch who said bad coffee is better than no coffee. Check out some of these killer bee images.

We’re being spoiled this month with getting to see the sea, us Joburg wedding photographers don’t often get to do beach weddings. So this weekend, Lisa and I, flew down to Durban, had breakfast on the beach, dipped our toes in sea water – at least Lisa did, I watched, had my face sandpapered by sand, and day dreamed of moving somewhere where there is a beach nearby. The light has a whole different feel down here, a lot moodier, more blueish without that haze effect that you get in Joburg. Fresh air, good, nice coffee, good, a cigarette on the beach, good. Add a really nice couple, who were easy to photograph and down to earth, some beautiful light and a day photographing. Nice.

My first time at The Munro, I didn’t even know it existed. There’s no signage outside, not even a clue as to what lies behind the gates. I can only imagine that Shelley and Bruce spent a long time looking for just the perfect venue for them, and The Munro is certainly that. Add a super nice couple, very much in love and a day filled with friends, family and the most insane backdrop in Johannesburg. If James Bond was getting married in Joburg, I reckon this would pretty much be it, and you can’t rock it harder than that.
I know what you’re thinking – Shelley did the co-ordination and all that herself, pretty amazing right.

- This post is so special, I couldn`t find anything related to it. Sorry.
Nothando and Mzweke’s rocking wedding day (Oakfield Farm) has been featured in My Wedding Day – out now at your nearest newstand. Told ya.
I’d actually forgotten that it rained that day.
Please not we only submit weddings to magazines/blogs at our clients request.

I kind of feel like I’ve known Heather and James for ages. I’d photographed several weddings in this group. A couple of weeks ago I photographed a wedding where James was the best man and there was pretty much the same set of groomsmen. I spotted several guests who had been bridesmaids at other weddings. You get the idea. It felt like I was with a bunch of friends. I mean, I’m never really stressed at weddings, but this was super chilled. I knew Heather was going to look amazing – which she did, and the Manson family haven’t really changed since I saw them at the last Manson family wedding. One or two new ones.
So Heather and James and their friends took over Wakkerstroom. I mean literally. If you saw someone at Wakkerstroom who didn’t look like a local, they were here for the wedding. The woman who runs the Bistro told me that once you stay here you can start calling it Wakkies. I liked Wakkies. It was quiet, misty during the early morning, cows were mumbling about, goats came up and said hi, and when Lisa and I left early the next morning, it looked like it may just recover from the previous night’s festivities.
I’m sure I’ve mentioned DJ Ultra Mel previously on this blog, but this woman managed to get people up and jiving before they even cleared the tables to create the dancefloor. There were people dancing around their tables, long before the couple opened the dancefloor. I even saw Lisa doing a soft shoe shuffle while photographing. Not bad for someone who didn’t play a single cliche’d wedding song. I think her details are 072 607 6045.
I’ve already gotten a million emails (rough estimate, I stopped counting after two) asking where they got married. You need to chat to Lizzie at The Bistro – which claims to have fusion food in a hippy chic atmosphere. I would eat most things at a place that had a hippy chic atmosphere, and the food was pretty killer bee.
Right that’s enough talk, if you want to see more images from their incredible Wakkerstroom wedding, check out our FB page.

Not a lot of words this week, we’re way deep in wedding season. The weather is starting to turn a bit and today is getting that chilly feeling that means we’re going to have a cold winter. It’s getting harder and harder to motivate myself to get up before the bear who does not seem to mind getting up before the sun rises.
I shot Marli and Wihann’s Pretoria Country Club wedding earlier this year, chilled, vintage, two people who are into their heritage and just enjoy being who they are. So we dodged some wayward golf balls, I think I was a bit more nervous about the car than they were, but I’d spotted a perfect stretch of road that I wanted to use for their shoot, not realising it was right next to the driving range. I do like the Pretoria Country Club, it has attitude … the good kind, and a sense of history. I like that. It also has a youngish chef with serious facial hair and a sense of humour – and holy batman can he ( or whoever worked on the lamb ) cook. Marli’s dress, part architecture, part couture, and the sixteen piece swing band didn’t hurt either.
Right, so by now you should have spotted the images from their killer bee Pretoria Country Club wedding on our facebook page. Go have a look.
