Surisa and Ronald Wedding Day.
Wedding of beautiful Surisa and Ronald. These love birds traveled all the way from Pretoria to celebrate their wedding day surrounded by the unique beauty of the Garden Route’s stunning landscapes. They have chosen Fancourt, South Africa’s premier golf resort in George, to host their big day. Surisa was incredibly calm throughout the whole day, impressive, considering that everything had to be arranged from Pretoria. The wedding ceremony was run and blessed by her grandfather, which made the event even more special. Surisa’s gentle nature, bride and groom’s evident love for each other and elegant style of the whole wedding blended so naturally together.
Surisa and Ronald’s wedding shoot was an inspiring collaboration with Eon Coetzee from Eonmedia. I can’t wait to see Eon’s wedding video creation!

ILZE AND TAL
Amazing, fairy-like wedding in the forest of Knysna. Ilze and Tal made a lifelong promise to each other at their self-made altar at Jubilee Creek, outside Knysna. The ceremony was very special, with lots of tears, smiles and blessings. At times it was challenging to stay focused. All I wanted to do is to watch these beautiful souls dancing with each other in their celebration and bathe in their love.
Ceremony was followed by fun reception at Totties, outside Knysna. Its impossible not to mention creative decorations and unique style of the wedding, created by bride Ilze. Thank you Ilze and Tal for a wonderful experience!

Ilze and Tal wedding in the forest of Knysna
On the 20th of December 2014 I photographed an amazing, fairy-like wedding in the forest of Knysna. Ilze and Tal made a lifelong promise to each other at their self-made altar at Jubilee Creek, outside Knysna. The ceremony was very special, with lots of tears, smiles and blessings. At times it was challenging to stay focused. All I wanted to do is to watch these beautiful souls dancing with each other in their celebration and bathe in their love.

About Boudoir Photography
Boudoir photography is the art of capturing the sensual nature of femininity. It is a celebration of a women’s beauty.
I imagine boudoir style to be a mixture of elegance, sexuality and internal beauty shining through. Boudoir photoshoots can become very therapeutic through accepting your body and celebrating its beauty. Brides also love to order boudoir photographs to surprise their grooms on their wedding day.
Most of my boudoir photographs stay unpublished due to the privacy concerns. On this page you will find a small collection of photographs from some gorgeous ladies that felt brave enough to let me showcase some of their photographs.

ILZE’S BOUDOIR SHOOT
I was privileged to photograph a wedding day of a beautiful couple Ilze and Tal. Ilze decided to make a special gift to her future husband and take boudoir photographs. Boudoir shoot was arranged on the wedding day in the lovely vintage Sun Room at Portland Manor, Knysna. I had to slightly crop the images to keep them more private. Take a look at gorgeous bride Ilze, celebrating her beauty ~ ♥
ANNE AND BERNHARD. COUPLE SHOOT.
Sometimes spontaneous moments are the best. No preparations and scheduled photo shoots, just grab the camera and photograph giggly couple in the sunset. That is what happened with Anne and Bernhard. Sunny, spontaneous, light and very much in love:)
CHANEL,THE GYPSY WOMAN
When you look at these pictures you would never believe that Chanel works as a ranger at Botlierskop Game Reserve, practices martial arts, hip hop dance and, top of it, works with Ace Models. That is the true nature of women – transformation. From sensitive and soft to wild and strong.
Through this fashion shoot myself and Chanel were exploring the story of a wild gypsy woman, full of intriguing energy, fire and sensitivity.
