My last wedding shoot really ended on such a special note, as this was officially the final wedding I photographed, and now one of these cool photos of Jessica and Lee has made it into Republikein Bridal Couple 2026!

If you have a moment, it would mean the world, and it would make you a super awesome person, if you could open the image and give it a like.

Thank you so much 🥰😘

A fresh new look for you to explore!

My website has been updated with a smoother feel, a cleaner layout, and a better way to explore the kind of photography I’m focusing on now.

Family moments, couple shoots, food, interiors, and the beautiful little details that make a photo feel alive.

It’s still me, still my camera, just with a refreshed space that feels a lot more like where I am now.

Go have a look around and let me know what you think: https://dream.photography🤍

Some weddings stay with you forever 🤍

Jessica and Lee's wedding was one of those days I’ll always hold close to my heart. The happy tears, the little glances and all the kinds of laughter, all of it felt so genuine and beautiful to capture.

This wedding was extra special to me, because it was also my last wedding. I no longer photograph weddings, but I honestly couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day, or a more special couple, to close that chapter with.

Forever grateful for moments like these 🤍

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, I thought I’d post a from this beautiful couple's photoshoot at the dunes in Swakopmund.

Elané and her significant other joined me for the sweetest picnic shoot back in December. I set up a little romantic picnic scene before they arrived. I even added festive Christmas spoons and forks to match the season. 😅 The little bit of golden desert light, dunes, walking up and down and their natural chemistry made it such a fun afternoon shoot.
