Wedding

Marisan & Charles - 24 Maart 2012

Ek het Marisan & Charles die eerste keer ontmoet by hulle verlowigsfotosessie in 2010 en van die begin af het dit gevoel asof ek hulle al jare ken. Dié paartjie hou van sports maak. Marisan & Charles is rustige mense wat net wil sorg dat almal gelukkig is en ‘n goeie tyd het. Hulle fondasie is geloof en hulle struktuur liefde. Hulle troue was by die pragtige Kleine Marie, Stellenbosch.

Marisan, jy het soos ‘n Franse koniklike gelyk. Dit was so lekker om julle troue af te neem. Ek hoop dié dag was waarvan julle gedroom het. Dankie vir julle gasvryheid.

Chantel & Rigard - 17 March 2012

Chantel & Rigard’s wedding was flawless. A beautiful day, Lagoon Beach Hotel the setting, Table Mountain the backdrop & a gorgeous couple surrounded by family and friends. Perfect.

Chantel’s Cindy Bam wedding gown fit her perfectly, like a vintage lace glove. Their wedding was filled with emotions, I too had a few “teary moments” behind the camera. Ek was meegevoer in elke oomblik.

The wedding was infused with Greek tradition and created the foundation for an incredible party. Breaking plates is definitely a way to start a party. ;)

Chantel & Rigard, baie dankie vir ‘n onvergeetlike dag. Ek is bly dat ek ‘n getuie kon wees by een van dié mooiste dae van julle lewe. Mag God se liefde julle huwelik seën.

Baie dankie, Willem dat jy so ‘n groot aanwins was in my arsenaal as fotograaf. Ek is bly jy is terug en dat ons weer ‘n span is.

Natasha & Willem - 10 Maart 2012

Natasha & Willem se troue was so mooi gewees. Die seremonie was ekstra spesiaal met vriende wat simboliese geskenke vir hulle gegee het. Die lanterns wat Wikkie vir hulle gegee het simboliseer die lig wat hulle in mekaar se lewens moet wees op hulle huwelikspad vorentoe. Natasha & Willem is nederige mense en al hulle vriende kan daarvan getuig.

Natasha, jy was ‘n pragtige bruid. Jy het van binne na buite gestraal en dit het my werk net makliker gemaak. Jy en Willem is perfek vir mekaar en as ek vir julle ‘n simboliese geskenk kon gee sou dit ‘n leë foto album wees. ‘n Skoon boek om ‘n leeftyd se herinneringe saam te maak en in te bewaar.

Familie en vriende het almal gees gevang en gedans dat die biessies bewe. ‘n Paar keer amper my kamera neergesit om saam te gaan dans. Dit het so lekker gelyk. Natasha & Willem se vriende is ‘n hegte kring en hulle loop al ‘n lang pad saam. Alles wat hulle doen, doen hulle as ‘n span. Daar is ‘n liedjie wat my aan julle laat dink… “Tonight we are young, so I set the world on fire, we burn brighter than the sun.”

Natasha & Willem, baie dankie dat ek julle troudag kon afneem, dit was ‘n eer. Ek wens vir julle ‘n geseënde huwelik.

PS: Ek wil net graag dankie sê vir Andre Campher wat ‘n uitstekende assistent was.

Lindy & Zaid - 17 December 2011

I had the privelage to assist and second shoot for Du Wayne Denton at Lindy & Zaid’s beautiful wedding. The day promised to be magical, with the expert event management from Lisa’s company, Talk Functions, stunning weather and a couple like Lindy & Zaid, it was.

The wedding venue, Asara, reminded me of Italy with it’s architecture, romance and spectacular view.

Lindy & Zaid, thank you for having me at your wedding.

Debrah & Jean-Paul - 3 December 2011

December always brings the “holiday” feeling, a time for being carefree and seeing family and friends. Nic & I, were lucky to share in Debbie & JP’s wedding day and experience all these emotions and more.

Seeing two best friends getting married, having the view of our beautiful Bloubergstrand and just having fun in the sun. Good times.

I met Debbie’s parents in 2010. Alta and Richard are serious photography lovers and we shared many stories about being in the darkroom and developing your own photos. Richard even came down the isle with Debbie on his arm and his camera around his neck. ;)

A lot of planning and special touches went into this wedding, Alta spent three months creating one of the most delicate and stunning wedding cakes I have ever seen.

Debbie made a gorgeous bride, she glowed with love and happiness and I think it came from the fact that she married her best friend, JP.

Debbie & JP, congratulations, I wish you a happy and prosperous marriage. Your love for each other are evident and I enjoyed getting to know you over the past year.

Nic, thank you for your excellent support and images.

Abigail & Craig - 8 October 2011

Dit is die maand Oktober,die mooiste, mooiste maand.” - C. Louis Leipoldt

Oktober is werklik dié mooiste maand en ook die maand waarin Abigail en Craig getrou het. Hulle spesiale dag was ‘n lekker warm dag, gevul met harte wat warm is van liefde en geluk.

Abigail was die rustigste bruid wat ek nog ontmoet het, sy het net heeltyd geglimlag. Haar aantreklike man, Craig, het soos ‘n James Bond gelyk wat perfek by die Lord Charles Hotel gepas het.

Baie geluk julle twee, ek wens vir julle God se seën en jare se geluk in julle huwelik. Baie dankie dat julle so geduldig was met my terwyl ek aandag aan my eie troue moes gee. Ek waardeer dit opreg baie.

Marselle & Jarcu - 17 September 2011

As inspirasie om dié blogpost te skryf het ek weer na Jefferson Starship se We built this City geluister, terwyl ek skryf. Hoekom? Want Marselle & Jarcu se troue was my eerste een vir die nuwe trou seisoen en alles waarvan ek kon droom as ‘n troufotograaf was deel van hulle troue. ‘n Oulike paartjie, ‘n great groep jong mense, mooi weer, groen & geel canola velde en baie tyd. Om dit alles te kroon, het ek my eerste “movie moment” by ‘n troue beleef, later in die aand het DJ Wally, We Built This City opgesit. Twee lang rye het oorkant mekaar gevorm en die volgende oomblik, ‘n awesome dans roetine deur Marselle, Jarcu en al hul vriende. Hoendervleis.

Marselle & Jarcu, baie dankie vir ‘n ongelooflike ondervinding en dat ons kon deel in julle spesiale dag.

PS: Ek wil ook net dankie sê dat ek kon fun hê met my ou film kamera. ;)

The Desert Rose Project - Meet Tendai

I am happy and excited to introduce to you, one of the most down to earth people I have met in my life. Tendai, is always friendly, even when it is raining in his outdoor “office”.

To read more about the Desert Rose Project, please follow this link.

An Interview with Tendai

Describe yourself in three words.
(Tendai took a while to answer this question. With his big smile, he answered this.)
I would say I am hard working, family motivated and self determined.

What is your philosophy on being an artist?
I have passion.

What inspires you?
My family being in need.

How long have you been a wire artist?
23 Years.

Why did you become a wire artist?
In Zimbabwe after school there was no work, so it was fashionable to become a wire artist.

What is your favourite pieces to make?
Lettering and the Big 5.

What makes you happy?
When I am busy with an order, I know then I can give to my family.

Why do you like about Cape Town?
Helpful people and the weather is also alright.

What do you think of the Desert Rose Project?
A good thing, sure ja. It is part of love as well.

Tell me more about the wire you use.
New and re-used wire, so I recycle, as well ja. Recycling is a good thing, it is good for the environment.

How do you feel about other artists copying your work?
You must be creative yourself.

Biggest challenge as an artist?
To set aside money for when you are not working.

Advice to other artists?
Don’t give up.

Marijke & Van Renen - 18 June 2011

Marijke & Van Renen’s wedding was beautiful.

Marijke embodies old Hollywood glamour. She has strong values and views and found the perfect partner in Van Renen. A real gentleman. More than a few times I saw how Van Renen looked at Marijke with admiration and love.

Ek het die voorreg gehad om die storie te hoor van hoe die paartjie by mekaar gekom het. Elke paartjie se storie is spesiaal, maar Marijke & Van Renen se storie het begin deur ‘n baie goeie vriendin wat geweet het hulle is bedoel vir mekaar en sy het nooit opgehou om hulle aan te moedig om dit ‘n kans te gee nie. Dit gee my nogal hoendervleis, want goeie vriendskappe is die fondasie vir goeie verhoudinge.

Congratulations Marijke & Van Renen! May your life together be blessed and filled with love.

PS: I feel blessed as this wedding was my last one for this season, the weather and day could not have been better. I would just like to say thank you to all my clients, regular readers, my family, fiance and Nic, my assistant. Your support and wonderful feedback fulfills my dreams and empowers my passion for photography even more. Last, but not least, thank you to God, with Him everything is possible!

Maryke & Jeandré

Die 21ste Mei was so ‘n lekker dag, bewolk en warm. My gunsteling. Worcester se stunning landskap en al die liefde, grappies en goeie voorbeelde van huwelike het die dag ingekleur en gesorg vir baie pret. Die GPS was reg om ons van Worcester na Rawsonville te neem, waar ons plek-plek gestop het vir foto’s. Die roete het my nogal laat dink aan Amerika se Route 66.

n Goeie vriendin van Maryke het in haar toespraak gesê dat Maryke en Jeandré perfekte maats is vir mekaar. Ek stem 100% saam. Maryke se sagtheid en opregte liefde vir haar medemens en Jeandré se opgewondendheid en energie sorg vir ‘n perfekte kombinasie.

Baie geluk julle twee. Ons het julle spesiale dag so baie geniet.

PS: Eenvan die hoogtepunte op die troue was vir my toe Jeandré se ouma en oupa op ‘n Enrique Iglesias nommertjie, die jonger gaste gewys het hoe om regtig lekker te dans. Sommer ‘n knop in my keël gekry.

The Light at the End of the Tunnel - a workshop presented by Du Wayne Denton

Du Wayne’s workshop is a must do for future reference. I always try to do workshops and courses to improve my photographic skill and technique. It is important to develop your own style, but photography is based on technique and skill and no photograph will ever be great without it. I enjoyed Du Wayne’s workshop, because he shared his knowledge and then shared some more. You will have to go see for yourself.

As a photographer, I usually see “people” when I go out to a shoot or wedding and it was refreshing to meet fellow colleagues at the workshop. No Facebook, actually meeting new friends face to face. :) Awesome people!

The beautiful location, Webersburg, Stellenbosch ensured that the creative juices were flowing and had the added bonus of making two days feel like a week’s holiday.

Yvonne & Danie - 16 April 2011

Die plaas, Fraaigelegen, tussen Paarl en Franshoek was die perfekte setting vir Yvonne en Danie se troue. Yvonne is ‘n regte lady, delikaat en baie mooi. Haar sagtheid en vriendelikheid is wat dadelik opvallend is en dan weet mens hoekom Danie so hals oor kop verlief is.

Dié spesiale dag was gevul met emmers vol liefde en ‘n lekker Kaapse wind wat gewaai het. ;)

Yvonne & Danie, baie geluk, ek wens vir julle jare en jare se ware geluk.

Melissa & Jackie - 9 April 2011

Melissa & Jackie se troue was so mooi geleentheid. Dit het vir my ‘n nostalgiese gevoel gehad, ampers asof ons terug was in die goeie dae van ‘n tradisionele troue, helder kleure, die platteland, ‘n DKW, ‘n trourok gemaak deur ma en warm agtermiddae met goeie geselskap. Die ou dae toe mense saam gekom het by ‘n troue vir ‘n lekker party.

Behalwe vir Melissa se natuurlike skoonheid, het drie meisies my hart gesteel op dié dag. Melissa se pa se twee Porsche’s en die troukar, ‘n goudgeel DKW. :)

Laasjaar by Jackie en Melissa se verlowingsfotosessie het ek toe al gesien hierdie twee is regtig gelukkig en baie close.
Melissa & Jackie

Baie geluk julle twee! Dit was ‘n eer om julle troufoto’s te neem. Hoop julle het nog baie Kodak-moments wat kom.

The Desert Rose Project

I am very excited to share this new venture, The Desert Rose Project, with fellow wedding photographers and brides-to-be.

A lot of thought and detail goes into planning a wedding and out of personal experience I can say that when everything comes together, it looks spectacular. Unfortunately, there is only one thing that gets looked over, the hanger used to present and carry your wedding dress. The dreadful white plastic hanger. I get chills just thinking about it.

My love for recycling and the need to give back what I receive, presented me with the idea of customizable hangers to use for the “wedding dress” shot and as a gift for the bride. Something special goes a long way :)

In collaboration with local wire artist, Tendai, we came up with the following designs. Tendai is really talented and creates magnificent sculptures out of wire. His life size Madiba wire sculpture was the first thing that got me interested in meeting the artist. Tendai is always kind and ready for something new. I hope that the Desert Rose Project will help him reach new heights and enjoy a career as an artist as I am blessed to do my dream job.

This is my way of giving back and making a difference. If you are interested in ordering one or many of these customizable hangers, please contact me on yolande@ysp.co.za or 082 470 1918.

Looking forward to hearing from you.









PS: Watch this space for new designs and different styles.

Nicole & Jaco - 19 March 2011

Dit was ‘n heerlike sonskyndag, perfek vir ‘n troue by Towerbosch, Knorhoek. Dit is een van my gunsteling venues, dit voel so privaat en is omring deur die mooiste natuurskoon en Stellenbosch se berge. Om by te voeg, Herfs se lig is eerste klas.

Nicole & Jaco het sommer van die begin af diep in my hart gekruip. Hulle is regte mens mense. Hulle is ‘n stunning couple, wat van binne na buite mooi is. Nicole jy het soos ‘n bruid uit ‘n tydskrif gelyk, beautiful!

Baie geluk julle twee. Dit was ‘n voorreg om julle dag te kon deel. Moet erken, ek het ‘n hele paar keer die knop in my keël moes wegsluk. Julle dag was baie spesiaal.

Fallin & Wesley - 5 March 2011

The 5th of March wasn’t just another hot Cape Town day, but Fallin & Wesley’s wedding.

God was the host to a beautiful celebration held at Obz-essions, Observatory. The location perfectly suited for a pastor-in-the-making and his bride to be. The old church was converted into a restaurant and wedding venue. Even a small hiccup, like the wedding car breaking down, causing Fallin to be late, ensured that the garden where they got married was covered in shade. Perfect light. God’s plans can be big or small, everything happens for a reason.

Fallin & Wesley’s religion and family values shined through the day’s events. They had a “Ring” ceremony that was held just after they said their vows. The married guests received handmade beaded rings to use for exchanging their vows again. And also a “Candle-lighting” ceremony held at the reception to symbolize the joining of two individuals supported by family and friends.

Thank you for making me part of your very sacred day.

Congratulations you guys!

PS: I think the first chapter of your “Liefdesboek” could not have started better.

Corneli & Attie gee skool in Wellington, so 47’C op hulle troudag, het hulle nie eers in die minste gepla nie. Porterville het plek gemaak vir ‘n stunning troue en dié gelukkigste pas getroude paartjie.

Wat baie spesiaal op hulle troue was, was dat Attie dit kon deel met sy oupa en oumas. Dit was baie spesiaal om af te neem.

Baie geluk julle en dankie dat julle dit so maklik gemaak het in die hitte.

Liezl & Bertus - 20 November 2010

Dié oggend van Liezl en Bertus se troue het ‘n lekker gevoel gehad, amper asof ons oorsee was. Liezl en Bertus het voor ‘n waterval in die huwelik getree. Hoe mooi is dit om voor God se handewerk te trou?

Bertus het ook sy ander groot liefde by die troue gehad, ‘n Honda Fireblade CBR 1000. Hy en Liezl het saam 6000km deur Suid-Afrika getoer. Van die Kaap na Musina, na St Lucia, deur Kimberley terug Kaap toe. Ek kan net in dink die dinge wat julle moes gesien en beleef het.

Dankie dat julle my deel van die begin van julle nuwe reis as getroude paartjie gemaak het. Ek het julle rustigheid en duidelike liefde vir mekaar self beleef. ‘n Voorreg.

Adél Conradie - Dress Show Off Session

Adél is ‘n ou skool vriendin van my en hoe fun was dit om haar in my studio te kry. Sy is ‘n lopende Energy drink, vol energie en gee jou sommer ‘n ‘boost’ as jy klaar saam met haar gekuier het.

Sy en Francois (Hoed), is die 17de April 2010, getroud. Haar trourok dra nogsteeds hulle troue rond, al die vlekke en kolle het my so opgewonde gemaak, want dit wys net weer Adél se lus vir die lewe. ‘n Mens se trourok moet mos gedra word op dié groot dag. Al hulle memories van hul troudag sit sommer ook nou op haar rok.

Die onderliggende tema vir haar shoot was ‘Adél in Wonderland’, juis oor haar persoonlikheid. En komplimente aan die bruid, drie maande swanger en jy pas nogsteeds in jou rok. Geluk julle!
