So much fun with the cutest props ever!

Bertus & Surina

Rensche — Thu, 16 May 2013 16:04:56 +0000

A wedding with no flowers…I only realised this after Surina (aka The Bride) mentioned to me that she is not big on flowers. What I love about weddings today, is that they are so personalised that when you come to a wedding you will most likely see the people’s personality reflect in their decor. Bertus & Surina’s wedding was totally unique and 100% their style, her beautiful bouquet was made just for her, by her mother, stationary by their friends, the detail planned out carefully, a Ferrero Roche Cake… And of course Surina’s dress just blew me away – WOW, how gorgeous is that dress (it looks like it was made for royalty).

It was a perfect sunny day in Cullinan and the venue was stunning, Victoria Manor also have great food! And I did not forget the groom, Bertus looked so dashing in his tailored suit, his boutonniere was also made by Surina and her mother. Surina is a great wedding planner, I think this was probably the first time doing a wedding where the bride was almost 30 min early for her wedding – she had to drive around in the car to wait for everyone to arrive (bet she couldn’t wait to walk into the church).

I loved being your photographer! Enjoy the memories of your special day!

Hannes & Hayley {I’m Yours}

Rensche — Fri, 10 May 2013 12:10:06 +0000

Awh, this couple…they are sweet, romantic and a beautiful match, and that is exactly how I would describe these two people as individuals, Hayley & Hannes are so in love! They had their wedding just over 2 weeks ago and what a joyous occasion, looking forward to blogging that too. I am sure they are almost back from honeymoon, so I hope this is a good welcome back – I have heard from a lot of brides that it can get a little depressing once you are back at work after all the celebrations. Good luck to you and Hannes waiting for the wedding photos ;) – I am blogging the photos in sequence with the dates that we did the shoots, so everything in a row and happy clients all around (I hope).

Ella {New Soul}

Rensche — Thu, 09 May 2013 08:32:25 +0000

It is so sad that these beautiful babies should grow up so fast, can’t believe Ella celebrated her very first birthday just the other day – Happy birthday my girl!! Schantel & Etienne (and rest of us, friends and family) are so blessed to have this little beautiful girl in our lives, I can see from the shoot that Ella has completely come into her own, her little personality shows that she has picked up some stuff from both her parents… Ettienne’s goofyness and well, sorry to say this, but she gets very grumpy if she is hungry – that is definitely from mommy! hahahaha! But she also has mommies beautiful looks and loves like her too! I think it is going to be such a great joyride watching her grow up!

Jean {New Soul}

Rensche — Wed, 08 May 2013 12:26:53 +0000

You remember this beautiful wedding? Well, Johan & Isabelle’s family has grown by one, and little Jean is so cute and cuddly , kissing his cheeks is the obvious thing to do! He wasn’t really into the whole shoot (think he takes after his dad), but for some reason, I got a whole lot of photos of him smiling – probably because he was looking at his pretty mommy and giving her lots of love!

Danie & Nelene {Ever After}

Rensche — Mon, 06 May 2013 09:58:42 +0000

Danie & Nelene’s wedding was at the Velmore wedding venue in Pretoria, the stunning ceremony around the pool was beautiful and even though the clouds got darker and darker it did not spoil this beautiful day. Just love the glamorous feel of the wedding and Danie & Nelene both looked absolutely gorgeous. Fun wedding with a really weird ending…just have a look at the last dance photos! LOL!

Well, I can only imagine what went on in this booth – its funny, I wasn’t there to see this, but I can see it play off in my head exactly…Looks like a lot of fun.

Tiaan & Rene {Ever After}

Rensche — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 09:49:48 +0000

I am not exactly sure how to start this blog post. It is so embarrassing as a photographer when we make double bookings and extremely difficult to make it right. Luckily I had such a wonderful bride, Rene, who was understanding, never mean and just the way she held herself during the crisis tells me that any problem she deals with will probably handled like this. What a ROCKSTAR bride!

Rene decided to let Kim (who second shoots for me a lot) take her photos and then I still do all the editing and printing of the books. Thank you both to Kim and Rene – I so wish I could have been there to experience all these beautiful moments. What a beautiful day (come wind or rain) the views were spectacular and what a fun group to photograph! Booth photos will be up soon.

Victor & Fatima {B&W}

Rensche — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 12:59:40 +0000

I love my colour and mostly have colour photos on my blog, but today I really really have to blog an all B&W wedding. For some reason every photo I tried in B&W just looked so amazingly stunning – obviously I am doing the wedding in colour for the couple, but thought I’d share with you something a little bit different. I loved photographing Victor & Fatima’s wedding, how beautiful are these two? They got married on 4 March 2013 and even it was a little cloudy and rainy during the ceremony, but it just added to this very romantic wedding!

Hope everyone enjoys the Black & Whites!

Danie & Nelene {I’m Yours}

Rensche — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 14:03:33 +0000

I’ve known Danie forever, our dad’s grew up together and every year our family beats them with a golf tournament…lol – just kidding! Danie has also assisted me as (a slave) second shooter for my a couple of my weddings that I have photographed – thank you for always carrying all the heavy bags I pretended not to be able to carry. He is a professional photographer…but not by profession – he has a real job, but loves photography and has all the best gear and talent, he even photographed weddings a while back, but now its only a luxury that close friends and family enjoy.

Danie & Nelene are such a beautiful couple to photograph, it kind of feels like they should be celebrities. For their engagement session we did a laid back shoot in Pretoria with their adorable doggy, Zara and then drove through to Jozi for a very glamorous shoot in the Maboneng precinct. Enjoy!
