Sashin & Shivani | Tamil & Gujrathi Wedding
I do feel like the luckiest photographer because I get to work with truly wonderful people. Sashin and Shivani are awesome together and a delight to have worked with. Their respect for each other, their families and their combined traditions is commendable. Their wedding was simple elegance with no frills. The focus was on their union. With just a few minutes for their creative shoot, we managed to squeeze some special shots into that tight time frame. Here are a few images from their special day.

Jiten & Rashika’s Hindi Wedding | Amanzimtoti Civic Hall, Durban
Good morning all. To get the week going, here’s a burst of green and maroon elegance. Do enjoy… What is your most special memory of your wedding? Walking down the aisle , seeing Jiten for the 1st time , I was so overwhelmed. Also when he applied my sindhoor, it took a lot to hold back the tears. There are no words to describe what a significant moment that was for me. What was the hardest part of the planning process? Planning the wedding from Johannesburg. But we have the most awesome family who did the running around for us. Did you experience any unexpected turns during the wedding process…

From being Facebook friends for a whole year and only deciding…

Evaashan & Sashni’s Tamil Wedding | Umgeni Road Temple, Durban
What is a wedding without the support of family and friends. The planning process can be quite daunting, especially for couples living in Josi but having their wedding in Durban. I met one of Sashni’s sisters with a pram and child in tow (now that’s sisterly love lol) at the Eastern Bridal Fair in 2011 whom Sashni had enlisted to assist with the planning and booking of service providers. To Evaashan and Sashni, thank you for picking me. It was a pleasure to be a part of this special chapter in your lives. How did you meet? We met on campus What is your most special memory of your wedding?…

Riccardo & Valedeen’s Tamil Wedding, Elangeni Hotel, Durban
When I first met Val, she mentioned that she was very keen to book the talented Jean-Pierre Uys for her wedding but I doubt he was available. Jean-Pierre’s crazy skills are unmatched, so I take it as a huge compliment that Val eventually booked me. Val opted for a unique elegant look steering away from the traditional. Riccardo equally stylish, with his slick hairdo, looked super cool with his red tie for the ceremony then a red bow-tie and white suit for the reception. I thoroughly enjoy when there’s a large crew of friends at a (hindu) wedding because it adds a vibrant (insane jol) atmosphere to the usual. Here…

Rodwin & Vaneshree’s Christian Wedding | eBandla Hotel, Ballito
If I had to describe this wedding I would say “bling to the max!”. Vans loves her bling and I thoroughly enjoyed photographing every aspect of this wedding (amidst my dehydration. I really need to carry a snack pack along with me to weddings, especially water). Vans dress was oh so fab, detailed impeccably by designer, Iqbaal. It’s rare to have this much extravagance and colour at a christian wedding, which made me feel right at home. Rodwin and his crew were just a hoot to work with (some pants down pics that I definitely don’t want to reveal lol). Special thanks goes out to Nicolene Samigan for being so…

Wedding | Avinash & Kerina
Keri & Avi as I affectionately call them, are total sweethearts. Prior to the wedding I asked Keri what colour outfit she would be wearing, she said ‘guava’. I had a bewildered look on my face, Keri then said, ‘it’s abstract!’. Abstract and definitely untraditional indeed. Good to see something different from the norm. I thought it was quite special that Keri’s mum did her hair and make-up was done by her sister, an in-house job. Here’s a few pics from this special day.
