Leah Van Niekerk - May, Bride-of-the-Month (Autumn Pink styled shoot)

"So, unfortunately, due to work obligations, Hennie wasn't able to make it to to this shoot, but that does not make him any less of a winner, because, on their wedding day, and today still, Hennie will always be one of my favourite grooms - of course, there is one person that likes Hennie more than we do, and that is his wife, Leani. Five years after their big day, they are still just as happy as ever, and it shows. Every time Leani posts a picture online of them, you can see

Dominique and Lindsay - March, Bride-of-the-Month

"So here's a strange fact, even though we had done both their wedding and engagement shoot, and I had met both of them, very briefly, before - this was actually the first time that I had, personally, gotten to work with Lindsay and Dominique. Now, I'm just gonna come straight out and say it, based on my correspondence with Lindsay, before this shoot, her informing me how much Dominique hates being in photos and videos...in all honesty, I was slightly concerned. On the day tho

Farren and Mariska - February Bride-of-the-Month

"In a way, my monthly 'Bride-of-the-Month' post is like me visiting a confessional, because it seems that every month I'm confessing something new, so here we go again: Early last year, when I first came up with the idea for this monthly contest, I had not yet completed the wedding video of Farren and Mariska, I finally did about a month later and immediately just made a backup of their raw footage and put it in a safe. Even though videos wouldn't become part of this contest

Dawie and Lee-ann, January - Bride-of-the-Month

"Last night, while I was preparing this blog post, I was video chatting with my girlfriend - yes, I finally have a girlfriend again, miracles happen - obviously, the topic of 'Bride-of-the-Month' came up and she congratulated me on a fantastic marketing strategy, this compliment had amused me greatly, as I informed her that it's probably the worst idea I've ever had, paying a photographer every month to do shoots that are usually only seen by a handful of people, she laughed

Craig and Nyree, December - Bride-of-the-Month

"We do a lot of weddings, some we remember well, some we remember vaguely, and then, every once in a while, we have a wedding like Craig and Nyree's where we simply remember every single detail. Reason: these two are special, Craig and Nyree are two of the politest, most soft hearted and just plain nicest people that we could ever have hoped to work with. They are the kind of couple this contest was created for, people whom we truly wanted to catch up with again, and it was a

Johann and Corne, November - Bride-of-the-Month

"I guess I'll admit this, when I first came up with the idea of doing a monthly 'Bride-of-the-Month' competition, I had already pre-selected a few couples whom I simply knew would be my personal choices. These were couples who weren't only a joy on the day, but also before, and more importantly, after the wedding. Johann and Corne had always been on my list, but, of course, so were many others. Then on the 1st of September, while filming another wedding, I had a gap at the re

Jaco and Angela - October, Bride-of-the-Month

"Although another couple had originally been chosen as our October Bride-of-the-Month, we were forced to give the prize to a different couple, when our original winners were, unfortunately, unable to make their shoot. Jaco and Angela had been chosen as our new winners, literally 24 hours before the shoot, and, as fate would have it - that worked our rather perfectly, as Angela was only a few days away from giving birth to a little girl. It was rather classic Angela to be nine
