The second lodge that I photographed in Zanzibar in January this year was the stunning Asilia Africa’s, Matemwe lodge. Situated on the north-east coast of Zanzibar it is quite hidden from most resorts and gives you a real feeling of authentic Zanzibar. Think rustic wooden and rope loungers and couches, the ocean breeze flowing through […]
Fresh Shoots
Lysanne and Eric | Wedding | Morukuru lodge, Madikwe
In January I went up to beautiful Madikwe game reserve to photograph Dutch couple, Lysanne and Eric’s wedding at Morukuru lodge. It was an intimate affair with only the couple’s parents and their children at the stunning ceremony which took place at the top of a hill overlooking the reserve. Lysanne looked just beautiful and […]
Seacliff Hotel & Spa | Zanzibar
After a busy start to the year I traveled back from Madagascar and was almost instantly on my way to Zanzibar. I had two properties to shoot, Seacliff and Matemwe which I will get to later. I have shot at Seacliff before and just love this hotel. The staff are awesome and friendly, the rooms […]
Princess Bora Lodge and Spa | Madagascar
In the beginning of this year I was lucky enough to visit Madagascar, a country I have been longing to go to for as long as I can remember! I was there to shoot Princess Bora lodge and spa on the small island off the east coast of Madagascar called Saint Marie. After arriving in […]
Photo of the day | The evening sea | Mauritius
Just after the sun goes down, there is a moment in time where the world turns an incredible shade of blue. This moment lasts about 20 minutes in total and is probably my most favourite time of the day to shoot. On this particular day I had noticed the jetty and was excited to see […]
Indian Ocean Lodge | Praslin | Seychelles
I have visited the beautiful Indian Ocean lodge before (about 2 years ago) to shoot it and was back there this year to update their pictures. I was lucky enough to be there when the island celebrates Kreole festival – a wonderful local festival that celebrates their heritage and culture. I had a wonderful time […]
Anse La Farine | Private Beach on Praslin, Seychelles
Imagine waking up to the sun rising over La Digue in front of you, all seen from your private beach tucked away in the lush greenery on Praslin. Giant fruit bats soar through the air going back to their nests and the bright turquoise water on your private beach laps onto your feet while you […]
Hotel Dona Ana | Vilanculos, Mozambique
Hotel Dona Ana has been a project that has been going on in Vilanculos for a while now and finally they are just about to open (December 2nd). The hotel is styled on the original building with retro and art deco colours and has themes of blue seas carried out throughout the rooms. You may […]
Nicole and Craig | Irene Country Lodge
I recently photographed the lovely Nicole and Craig’s wedding at beautiful Irene Country Lodge. What a stunning setting – they got married underneath a huge tree next the dam and the rest of the property was filled with woodland and forest paths, farm fences and fountains all around. And to top it off we had […]
Doreca’s traditional Tanzanian Send-off party | Tanzania
I was so happy to be a part of Doreca’s send-off party in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. This was my first experience with a send-off party but I enjoyed it immensely. Seeing the traditions unfold on the night was really interesting and I felt extremely lucky to witness the party. Probably one of my favourite […]
Sophia’s First Birthday | Tres Jolie
You might remember little Sophia from her Christening a few months back. Saturday was her first birthday party at the ever-amazing party venue, Tres Jolie. This place is seriously a kiddies haven! Camel rides, petting zoo, fun fair rides and jungle gyms everywhere – you can’t get better than this! Sophia was dressed as a […]
Natalie and Shaun | Engaged
Last week I had the chance to photograph two of my very good friends, Natalie and Shaun. They are getting married in November at the gorgeous Avianto and I can’t wait, specifically because I’m a bridesmaid too 😉 So as a little gift I gave them an engagement shoot to get them ready for their […]
Doreca & Jamaal | Engagement shoot, Tanzania
I recently had the awesome opportunity of meeting two wonderful people, Doreca and Jamaal. Doreca contacted me and asked me to photograph her traditional Tanzanian Send-off party in Dar es Salaam as well as an engagement shoot. I had a great time meeting them and even more fun photographing them. Here are some of my […]
Botse Botse Luxury Retreat | Zebula Golf Estate | Bela Bela
A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to shoot a beautiful boutique lodge in Zebula. Botse Botse only has 4 stunning rooms but the attention to detail and to the guests are impeccable. You’ll get treated like royalty while staying here and get served the most divine food. Each room has a different […]
Dykes Family shoot
A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to photograph friends of mine for their family shoot. Little Jasmine was just loving the camera!! And baby Abigail is following in her big sister’s footsteps! Thanks girls for being such sports! What an adorable family. Tweet
Camp Shawu | Kruger National Park
This was probably my favourite of the 3 camps that make up Shishangeni. The lodge is located right on the water – a huge dam that is full of life and activity. There must be hundreds of hippos living there and you often see elephants and all the other plains game surrounding it. The luxury […]
An Indian Ocean Idyll | Mnemba island, Zanzibar
Barefoot luxury off the coast of Zanzibar on Mnemba Island. 2 kilometers off the sandy shores of the African spice island, Zanzibar, lies another island, not too big in size but certainly big in arm chair traveller’s dreams, beauty and little treasures that make you feel like you are stepping onto royal soil. The […]
Shishangeni | Kruger National Park
Shishangeni is the main lodge of the three camps that I photographed. It has everything you need including a conference room, tv room, library, spa facilities, pool, 2 bars and a beautiful setting next to the Crocodile river. At night you hear the endless laugh of hyenas and the beautiful gushing sound of the river while […]
Camp Shonga | Kruger National Park
I recently had the opportunity to photograph three gorgeous camps in a private concession in the Kruger National Park – Camp Shonga, Camp Shawu and the main lodge Shishangeni. Camp Shonga is a small intimate bush retreat built in the foothills of the Lebombo Mountains, offering awesome views. It is a magical place and is […]
Tara, James and Jack | Family shoot
I really enjoyed photographing little Jack, he was so happy (almost all of the time)! Jack has the sweetest nature and was laughing and playing in the leaves throughout all the spots we shot at. Apart from eating a few leaves and sticks he was the perfect little model 😉 Tweet
