The great thing about this job is that I get to meet lots of lovely faces. I met Clarinda a few years back, at a wedding I shot - she was one of the bride's maids. From the moment I met her, I knew that she was a blessing to the people around her and to her future husband. She had/has a great sense of humour and she was/is zealous about life and her faith. Admittedly, I wanted to set her up with one of my closest friends...

Clarinda met Dave at their church. They were both serving together at their youth group - SWITCH. And throughout the year they would co-incidentally meet up to have really deep and meaningful conversations - this was where they developed a close friendship. It was through these d&ms that Clarinda realised that Dave is a pretty "deep guy" and that in turn, Dave knew that Clarinda was somebody who he can commit his life to loving for the rest of his life. Despite their own personal circumstances - their mutual affections for one another and desires for commitment prevailed and their relationship blossomed.

They are a joy to hang out with; they are generous, friendly and passionate. They are both incredibly zealous for the things that they hold dear to their hearts. Individually they have quite strong personalities, but they are sooo well suited for one another. They are a great illustration of how iron sharpens iron.

Their wedding is quickly approaching and I have the honour of being able to document the beginning of their lives together. Can't wait!

It was lovely hanging out with you guys the other week!! We had a blast! David brought his beloved guitar and played quite a few songs for Clarinda - and by the look in her eyes, I could tell that she was absolutely smitten by his rock star qualities! :D :D

Helena and Phil are a cool and stylish people. There is no doubt about it. Helena fell in love with two gorgeous Pronovias gowns - and couldn't choose between the two, so she bought both! She wore one of them for the portrait session - and boy I can't wait to see her actual wedding dress! It was also through Helena that I discovered Viktor and Rolf's fragrane FLOWERBOMB. If only photography had smell-o-vision, because MYHAT, she smelt oh-so-good! I wanted to sniff her all day! But that would've proved very awkward!

They are an incredibly sweet and intelligent couple. Despite having been together for years, there is still that young and giddy affection that runs through the two of them; from Helena's giggles to Phil's sheepish grins when she cuddles him or nuzzles his face.

It was great hanging out with them a few months back. We had lots of fun discovering new places and doing all sorts of silly things - one of which consisted of throwing confetti everywhere. It was quite a challenge to pick everything back up again. But it was all in good fun and great photographs!

Thank you Helena + Phil for making my job, fantastic!
