Did you study photography?
A:Yes, I studied photography at the University of
Stellenbosch. It is a 4-year course and I received
my degree in photography in December 1989.
When did your passion in photography first
begin and what do you enjoy most about it?
A:My passion for photography started when
I got my first camera at the age of 14. What I
enjoy most about it is the fact that I can portray
life the way that I see it and experience it.
How long have you been a wedding
photographer?
A:I have been a wedding photographer for the
last 22 years, since 1991.
How many weddings do you photograph per
year?
A:45, on average
What sets you apart from other photographers?
A: The way in which I connect with my clients. I
capture my clients’ souls, not just their faces.
Are you planning on doing something different
in this years wedding season?
A: Yes, most certainly. I do something different
every year.
What are the latest photographic trends and
have you implemented any of them?
A:Trends can be dangerous because it can go
out of fashion much quicker than it came into
fashion, so to speak. I do adapt to changing
times but I don’t necessarily implement the
latest trends.I have my own “look” and my own
“style” and I implement this in such a way so as
to ensure that my images are “timeless”.
What do you offer in your bridal packages?
A: I offer an unique kind of creativity. My
packages include my time as well as all
the edited high resolution images on disc.
Storybook albums, enlargements & canvas
prints are optional and can be ordered at any
stage after the wedding, or the clients can
produce these directly from their high resolution
images on their discs themselves.
