I love my job… even if it means sweating bucket loads in 38 degrees Celcius!
Anton & Annette got married at Morgansvlei in Tulbagh on an absolute perfect summers day. This wedding felt more like attending the celebration of good friends, than working! Well done for the perfect planning and throwing an excellent party!
I must highlight the talented Jazz / Blues duo of Gerald Clark & mate that performed during the pre-drinks – what a brilliant voice and cool hairstyle. If anyone has Gerald’s phone number, please leave a comment below.

Mareza & Jacques is getting married tomorrow at the 12 Apostles Hotel & Spa close to Camps Bay. From the very first time I met this attractive couple, I got along with them – so I’m extremely excited to finally cover their wedding tomorrow. Furthermore, will I have a very qualified assistant in Dave Strydom that runs a very successful photography business, 2Become1 Studio in Cansas in the United States. Can’t wait to work with you for the first time Dave!
This E-session was done at Rhebokskloof near Paarl. One thing that struck me was the patchy feathered clouds. Enjoy the photos!

BA & Jhana’s wedding at Rhebokskloof Wine Estate was our first for 2010 – and what a way to start the new year! Rhebokskloof is a unique venue with a mix of old Cape Dutch and modern architecture – beautiful grounds and dams and a very spacious reception area.
The wedding had a vintage theme with the groom and his entourage in character with hats and suspenders and the bridal party arriving in style on horse and carriage. The temperature clocked in at 38 degree that day – so I’ve got to commend the bride and groom for keeping cool and making such great pics!

We are so looking forward to Robyn & Shaun’s wedding at Webersburg Wine Estate in Stellenbosch! Marius met up with them on Strand beach in December to do their pre-wedding shoot. Marius is one of the founding members of ZaraZoo – our very first photographer, when we formed the company 6 years ago in London.

I know Ali and Steve would not mind that the first image is not of them… but rather that of the little angel that did his job as a page boy so well on their wedding day!
Ali & Steve got married on the 31st of December at Diemersfontein near Paarl in a scorching 36 degrees heat! It was a unique experience to work on New Years eve, when most of our friends were out celebrating. But I must say, Ali and Steve made me feel like one of the guests – I thoroughly enjoyed the evening with you guys!
The wedding was coordinated by Karla Oettler of Absolute Weddings.

Seems like the vintage theme is back in fashion! In the past few months we have done 2 other “vintage weddings”. You can follow the links to these weddings at the bottom of this post. The short big holed mesh veil worn by Tanya is also my favourite of all veils. It adds so much class and style to the look!
Tanya and Jacques live in Tasmania, but they are born and bred South Africans. Jacques’s dad Ronnie Cawood, is a minister by profession – the obvious choice to marry them. The ceremony was conducted at Marsh Memorial and the reception at Kelvin Grove members club in Newlands.

I met up with Ali & Steve at the Blowfish Restaurant in Blouberg last week for their pre-wedding shoot – and did the South Easter blow! This stretch of beach has one of the best views of Table Mountain… but is also a favourite spot for kite surfers… And with the wind blowing a gale, this was ideal conditions for the kite surfing guys! When I got there, the sky and beach was riddled with colourful kites – very pretty, but it left no space for us to do our thing. So instead we had a Mojito at the Blowfish and when 30 minutes later most of them had left, we took our gap.
Ali & Steve got married at Diemersfontein Wine Estate near Wellington on New Years Eve. I’ll be posting their wedding photos early next week. Subscribe to our RSS feed to be notified of this post.

Over the last 10 years Woodstock (Cape Town) has been gradually transformed to the new hot spot for designers, artists and trendy shops and businesses. But despite the influx, it has kept its charm – In many ways this area reminds me of Camden Town in London. For a photographer, Woodstock lends so many opportunities and interesting streets, allies and people to work with – I predict that this is only my first of many shoots in this “Funky Town” – The perfect spot for an E-session.
Oh… and not to mention the awesome couple Anton and Annette is to work with. I’m so looking forward to their wedding at Morgansvlei near Tulbagh this coming weekend. Subscribe to our RSS feed to be notified when their wedding photos are up on the blog.

With the holidays and crazy December schedule behind us, we are well behind on our blog posts. In the last month, ZaraZoo did no fewer than 8 weddings, 1 Pregnancy and 10 Engagement shoots – most of these still to be posted.
BA & Jhana got engaged at Vergelegen Wine Estate near Somerset West – so it was a fitting choice to head back there for their pre-wedding shoot. This coming weekend they will tie the knot at Rhebokskloof Wine Estate in Paarl – Enjoy!
