Jan & Vidette - 7 More days
"Last minute bookings truly can be the best, especially when those bookings lead us to meeting great couples like Jan and Vidette. These two are really just truly nice people and we know that their wedding is going to be the perfect way to step back into wedding season, just seven more days and we are super excited!" - Markus Gericke Photographer: Natasha Louw Location: Eden Forest, Stellenbosch #bolandweddings #natashalouw #edenforest #engagementshoots #coupleshoots #savethe

Martin and Melaine - The light in the mist
"These two...let's just say I'm actually upset that I can't personally work on their wedding, because everything about these two I loved. Theirs was one of my favourite shoots of this year and these two are one of my favourite couples. So I'll just go sulk in a corner while the rest of my team gets to share their special day, next month...but all kidding aside, guys you were amazing and I know your wedding is going to be one for the books; I am so excited to see the final pro

Marnus & Jeannine - A night on the town
" Marnus and Jeannine are two of the sweetest people we could ever wish to work with. This was one of those shoots where we almost ran out of light because the actual work part took a backstep to chatting and just getting to know the clients. We cannot wait for their wedding, next year." - Markus Gericke Photographers: Natasha Louw and Markus Gericke Location: Cape Town Central #bolandweddings #natashalouw #markusgericke #weddingphotographers #coupleshoots #savethedates #enga

Lourens & Amanda - When nice guys finish first
"Back in May I won a contest (or lost one, as I prefer to describe it) which allowed Ruan to test his makeup skills on me for 'Andi's Makeup Corner, Episode 3'. The one good thing that did come out of that nightmare was that it allowed me to select one of the voters do get a free photo shoot with is. Amanda Anderson was my choice. I could not have chosen a more deserving couple." - Markus Gericke Here's that painful episode, just in case any of you were curious. Photographers

Gary and Coretta - The day after
"Just a few hours before boarding their plane back home, we were reunited with our friends, Gary and Coretta, to do their engagement shoot - okay, I guess I should just call it 'couple shoot' as we had already covered their wedding a few days prior. This shoot was actually quite awesome, yes I think Gary is still mad at us for dragging them out of bed that early, but as our time on their wedding day had been fairly limited, we were so happy to get this extra time with them.

Wouter and Zandre - A preview of true love
"Wow was this a fun shoot, Wouter and Zandre are the kind of clients that we dream about: fun to be around, willing to try anything and, most importantly, crazy about each other. Their special day is taking place on the 15th of June and if this shoot was a preview of things to come, then I know that what I am imagining, probably, won't do any kind of justice to their big day. Wouter and Zandre, you guys have been such a pleasure to work with, so far, and we are so grateful th

Raymond and Judy - Love lifts us up where we belong
"There is one problem I have with engagement shoots; we get to meet all these awesome people, they start to feel more like friends than clients and then you realise, you're not seeing them again for several months! Raymond and Judy are perfect cases of this; although we did get to meet both of them at the wedding of my good friends, Jeanette and Basil, last year, this was the first chance we really got to spend time with them and to get to know them as a couple. All I can say

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

Desmond and Leigh - When opposites attract
"Does anyone remember the show 'Cheers'? (and no, I don't care that I'm giving away my age - Cheers was brilliant). During it's first 5 season run, 'Cheers' featured two main characters, named Sam and Dianne; these characters were two polar opposites, Sam was the fun and adventurous type, who was always up for a challenge and, more often than not, simply acting on impulse. Dianne was a bit different, serious, always thinking things through, seldom doing anything unexpected...

Johan and Marike - Everything happens after the word "yes"
"Remember the contest for which Kurt and Melissa won second prize? Okay, honestly, I don't either, it's been a while and we did a lot of giveaways in 2018 (seriously, if anyone remembers what that contest was for, drop me a message, I'm actually really curious), but I'm getting side tracked, the one thing I do remember from that contest is that I got impulsive on the last day and gave away three shoots, instead of just one, as was the original intent.

Michael and Olivia - Birthdays and reunions
"There truly is nothing that even comes close to the joy I feel when being reunited with our old clients, sometimes years after their weddings, and being given the chance to see just how successful their lives together turned out to be. Michael and Olivia got married all the way back in April of 2013, Ruan and I had been lucky enough to do their video on that glorious occasion and it's actually still a wedding I hold pretty dear to my heart, even after all this time.

Ruan and Monique - My search ends with you
"There's always something special seeing someone we care about meeting their forever person. Monique is a friend of mine that I hold very dear and having known her for a while, I can truly say that Ruan is the puzzle piece that makes her complete; he is the kind of person that one cannot help but like, his patience, his mannerisms, his sense of humour...but mostly just the way he treats Monique and the happiness he has brought over her life. You two truly bring out the best i

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

Jason and Jamie - True love starts with a single word
Although we usually do these descriptions ourselves, in this one unique, and very special case, we're going to allow Jamie to do the talking for us, because there is no way any of us could have put it any better: "Jason and I are still amped up after our shoot yesterday. We would just like to thank Boland Weddings for the amazing service we received in booking our shoot! Also, to our photographer Natasha, WOW! Firstly, your spirit and personality is so friendly, fun and conta

Christian and Tatiana - He put a ring on it
"I always say that there are no firsts left for me in this industry, that I've seen it all, and in this case, this beautiful couple had to travel 1368 kilometres to prove me wrong. I can honestly say, this is a shoot I'm not only going to remember forever, but it is one that I'm going to hold close to my heart. Christian and Tatiana are two of the kindest, most soft hearted and loveliest people I have met in a long time. Their love for each other is so real, and I will openly

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
