About Me

I am a mother of three boys (three boys, being punished for my sins!) and have been a fan of photography for years. I started shooting weddings seriously about five years ago. With the arrival of my twins, I decided to reduce my working hours in order to spend more time at home with my boys. Using photography to make up for the loss of income was a natural progression.

This is where you will be able to catch regular excerpts of what I am up to...

Oliver's school concert on Saturday and the boys Birthday Party on Sunday, a busy weekend and I am in need of rest. Two already,  can you believe it!

I tried to put clothes on for the special occasion, but they weren't interested! Liam on the left Jake on the right.

Wow, they do grow up fast.
If i had two lads i would let them enjoy the freedom of running around topless just like yours as life is too short and we must enjoy every fleeting moment.
Hope you had a great day, oh and what do they say about the terrible 2's and (times two ).
Can only be a real life adventure.

Regards
Paul

Things that make me smile . . . DJ Vlokkie (and his groupies), glittering disco balls, a club called 'Night Fever', Jake the wedding co-ordinator and a ceremony overlooking Pongolapoort Dam.

 

 

 

Trevor and Vivien chose Pongola Game Reserve as their wedding venue - and, what a spectacular setting it was. Guests were treated to a sunset cruise on the dam, whilst we drove around the game reserve sipping champagne and occasionally snapping a few pics of the newly weds.... Oh! (raise right hand to forehead and insert sigh) What a tough job I have!

 

 

 

Trevor and Vivien are just made for the camera - I could photograph them all day! They actually remind me a little of Kevin Costner and Katie Homes, my first celebrity wedding in the bush!

 

 

 

Alas, no long write up, as I will really fall short in describing what was a truly enchanting weekend. Thank you to the both of you for being so hospitable. Without further ado, here they are ....more than usual I am afraid, but we were spoilt with two hours for the portraits.

Thanks Kevin, hope Kate enjoys them too!
At Pongola hair, I am not sure my lens was wide enough to get it all in that was BIG hair!!

Those that do not understand French (Like myself) google translate sez:

"One would believe oneself in a fairy tale!
Lovely pictures drank the stars off the day are there for something...

I am busy editing Bonny & Franco's wedding at the moment, and I came accross this image. It made me smile ... so I had to post it. This tends to happen often, I rush when selecting for the blog and miss "little beauts" like this one.

Welcome back Katherine, hope you had a great honeymoon!! Glad to see the stalkerazzi tendancies have not died after the wedding!!

(11.12.08 @ 05:22 PM)
jenty:

LOL, love the dog in the shot. What a stunning dress!

(11.12.08 @ 07:24 PM)
Nicki:

So gorgeous!
In hindsight I wish we'd done a pic or two with my little munchkins (2 pugs ... brothers!) while you were here .. ah well :)

(11.12.08 @ 07:29 PM)
Franco:

I think Bonny secretly always wanted - Jamie (the little pooch) to be a part of the wedding... Well it looks as if her debut was a success - love the shot, its a keeper! :)

Katharine:

Hey Andrea - I don't think my stalkerazzi tendencies are ever going to die, though I did prune my google reader of some rubbish. Tanja told me you were sick; I hope you're feeling better now! And yes, fab honeymoon from which I'm still recovering! Pictures on my blog soon. :-)

A lovely sunset last week that I snapped through my dining room window.

Hi there Guru,
I guess you discovered the saying of when one door closes an window opens.
Great shot and i love the two birds in flight.
I will not dare post any pics of my window shots as i might get arrested for being a peeping tom.
Have a great day.
Paul
