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

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

Scot and Annabelle - I would travel across the world (just to be with you)
"Week day weddings are a personal favourite of mine, the weddings are usually small and intimate, the day usually feels relaxed and, when we're extra lucky, we get to spend it with clients like Scott and Annabelle. Actually, funny story about our first meeting with these two, we met them last year at Mugg and Bean in Stellenbosch. Annabelle had sent me a text, but, as I rarely check my texts, I had missed it. I, on the other hand, had been trying to reach her on WhatsApp, una

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.

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

Ferns - A Family Affair
"Simply put, the Ferns family is simply adorable, a family where their love for each other is so obvious and so true, it was such a privilege for us getting to spend time, and getting to know such awesome people and such a loving family.

Jamie and Nathan - My next chapter begins with you by my side
"High school is a journey, a journey that shapes us, one where we make connections, one where we start to learn our true selves...one that we know: will not last forever. But, as our English teachers always taught us, to any rule there is an exception, and, every now and then, that rule can be broken by finding your true love at a young age. Jamie and Nathan is proof of that, and we know that although their high school days may be over, their love for each other is not. Good

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

Ivan and Nandi - True love is the answer to all questions
"Simply put, Ivan and Nandi were a dream couple, an absolute pleasure to work with and an absolute feast for the eyes. Their big day had been a long time coming, for us as well as them; how long you may be wondering? Well, Nandi had pre-booked us even before Ivan had placed the ring on her finger, this actually went quite well with their proposal story, where Nandi had failed to actually answer, as she got sidetracked dreaming about their table setting. It was simply a quest

Kurt and Melissa - A very lucky engagement
"Engaged couple, Kurt and Melissa, may just be the luckiest couple we've ever dealt with here at Boland Weddings; not only was this the third engagement shoot they had won, through three different lucky draws from three different companies, but more importantly: they found true love at a young age. This lovely couple was simply a joy to work with, game for anything, hiking in high heels...any photographer's dream client. Even though they may have been the pair to win this sho

Nick and Nicolene - One ring to bind theme
"Back in 2001, Bruce Willis stared in one of my all time favourite movies, a film about a gang of bank robbers, called 'Bandits'. This movie had a famous scene in which Cate Blanchett's character exclaims to Joe Blake and Terry Collins that she is unable to choose between them, because together, they make the perfect man. Now, even though I am aware that Nicolene is not a man and neither she nor Nick are bank robbers, this scene was still playing off in my mind, when I first

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
