Mandy + Daniel – Cafe Felix Wedding

Mandy and Daniel celebrated their wedding at the rustic Cafe Felix in Riebeek Kasteel, a short drive from Cape Town. Another relaxed wedding with an awesome couple.

Jeanette + Jason – Elgin Wedding

Nick — Mon, 02 Jul 2012 13:25:42 +0000

Mofam River Lodge in Elgin was the venue for Jeanette and Jason’s relaxed daytime wedding. Early rain scuppered the outdoor plans, so it ended up as an indoor picnic. Later the sun came out for some late afternoon drinks on the lawn.

Emmylou + Oliver – Swellendam Wedding

Nick — Mon, 11 Jun 2012 06:48:49 +0000

This wedding promised to be special. When Emmylou booked me she asked if I was comfortable shooting while abseiling. No problemo I told her. Round the Bend, just outside Swellendam, is the Felix Unite River Rafting base camp, and also a wonderful relaxed function venue. Rainy weather put paid to any abseiling and river-rafting plans, but it created a fantastic cosy atmosphere with all the guests, who had arrived the night before, stuck indoors for the day before the ceremony.

Half an hour before the ceremony, the sun broke through the clouds and the rain stopped, allowing the ceremony plans to proceed as arranged. Emmylou and Oliver recited their vows, written just a few hours before, on a platform at the river’s edge.

The party continued late into the night, punctuated at 11pm by a fire dancer, and the midnight celebration of Emmylou’s birthday. Definitely a wedding to remember.

Gail + Alasdair – Wild Fig Wedding

Nick — Thu, 03 May 2012 14:52:22 +0000

Here’s the first of a backlog of weddings I need to post. Gail & Alasdair got married at the Courtyard Hotel in Mowbray, with their awesome reception at the next-door Wild Fig restaurant. Scottish heritage on both sides of the family saw the groom, the bride’s father, and a few others in kilts. Very smart.

Wedding Venue: Courtyard Hotel Cape Town
Reception Venue: Wild Fig Restaurant

Not just a wedding photographer

Nick — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 08:33:49 +0000

Somewhat accidentally, I’ve been posting far less personal work on my blog than I used to. I don’t just photograph weddings, I also do some portrait work, I shoot my family a lot, and there’s a documentary project that I’m struggling to get started. So expect to see some more of this from now on, in addition to my wedding posts.

This is my daughter, Brooke.

Lucy – Bat Mitzvah Party

Nick — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 07:00:58 +0000

Lucy celebrated her Bat Mitzvah with all her friends and family at a gorgeous bash at the family’s lovely Bishopscourt home. This was the first Mitzvah that I’ve shot, and hopefully not the last. I’ve never seen so many happy kids in one place – what a party! Mazel tov!
