Douw & Ursula - Wedding & Maternity


Douw & Ursula got married in October last year already, but since then I've done her maternity shoot as well, so I thought I would post it together. I asked Ursula to elaborate a bit on her wedding and maternity shoot...

"I’ve known Patrick professionally for 6 years, as he is our photographer of choice for our clients’ corporate events and he always delivers amazing photos that capture the moment. Naturally he would be my first choice of wedding photographer and we planned our wedding around his available dates. Our photos are so beautiful and the result of Patrick’s creative eye when posing us as well as his manner of hanging back and letting us be. Words can’t explain our gratitude to Patrick and Lizelle who gave us exquisite memories to show to our grandchildren. (I strongly recommend getting a storybook printed.)

The highlight of our wedding day was when we escaped from the activities before the ceremony to have our photo shoot. It was just the two of us with Pat and Lizelle who gave us plenty of space to enjoy each other’s company without any pressures or interruptions. Truly romantic and special and an ice-breaker before the seriousness of our commitment to each other before God, our friends and family."







"Patrick said to me at our wedding that he would love to do our maternity shoot - we found out three days later I was pregnant. He was informed forthwith and at 34 weeks he shot the most precious photos of me pregnant with Lily. Thank you so much Patrick for making me feel comfortable, beautiful and feminine. Douw couldn’t be there for the shoot but he adores the images of me heavy with his unborn child."

Alana - Maternity Shoot


I had the pleasure of photographing Charl & Alana's wedding in 2011, and it is always great when a couple calls me up to share the exciting news of pregnancy, and even more so when they ask me to take some photographs of the growing bump!

Alana and I had some difficulty coordinating our diaries, when she gave me a call one friday a couple of weeks before her due date and informed me that little Mignon will be born the following Monday - Doctor's orders! So we decided to literally do the shoot the Sunday afternoon, a mere day before their little bundle of joy entered the world!





Renate - Maternity Shoot


Renate is my sister-in-law, so to photograph her is easy and challenging at the same time. But these images of her at 33 weeks shows the absolute beauty of the pregnant form, and it was great that she was so comfortable.
