Ola & Maria were married by Dr. Jan Vink on the 4th of January 2012. They travelled all the way from Sweden with their lovely children, Jim & Nova, to get married in South Africa where their intimate ceremony was held at the breathtaking Serenity Forest Eco Reserve near Malelane, Mpumalanga.
I was invited to Leopard Creek near Malelane by the van Dyk family on Christmas Day 2011 – where we did their family photos on the renowned golf course. Piet & Jana’s cute 9 month old baby boy Frans was without a doubt the star of the day and quickly became my favourite prop to use in everyone’s shots!
Faan & Elmien were married by Rev. Christo Oberholzer from Heidelberg on the 17th of December 2011. Their wedding was held at the scenic family owned Nora Falls Lodge situated between Nelspruit and Sabie, Mpumalanga.
Sophia Hutcheson, one of Elmien’s very talented friends, not only styled her hair beautifully but also played make-up artist and florist on the day! Impressive! Elmien’s dress is from DHGate whilst Faan was dressed by Coquis. The popular DJ Ricardo did what he does well.
Jaco & Lin-Marie got married on the 16th of December 2011 at the family owned La Luna Guest Farm between Malelane & Barberton in Mpumalanga. Rev. David Lessing, also a family member, conducted their personal ceremony.
Lin-Marie’s hair was styled by Gena. Her pretty little dress is from Forever New (with her own changes made) whilst the guys were dressed by Edgars & Mr Price. Clough Craven (Lin-Marie’s uncle) and his wife Annamarie provided guests with a succulent “potjie” and fresh salads.
Well known owners of Minuteman Press in Nelspruit, Johan & Magda Barnard, celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary on the 6th of December 2011. Magda had the awesome idea of doing a photo shoot in her original wedding dress – which by the way still fits her perfectly – and I had the privilege of taking their photographs!
We went to Kaapschehoop (where they got engaged) and also did a few shots between their litho printers at work afterwards. Herman van den Berg commented on their photos on Facebook: “Beautiful Johan, your wedding tie still fits!”

The incredible Protea and other flower arrangements was the hard work of family. The very funny Mr. Nico Cross was the master of ceremony and had everyone laughing the entire day. Lowveld Sound Promotions took care of the sound & music.
I joined Hannes & Cindy with their two adorable children Dylan and Gizelle for a picnic at the Lowveld Botanical Garden in Nelspruit on the 12th of November 2011. Here are a few of their images.
