Rynhardt & Mirischian (click here & scroll down for more images)




To me, Rynhardt and Mirischian is one of those young couples that is a TRUE example of God's love, grace and match-making ability!  They are an example to the youth of our country and world, as they serve God with a passion - and this is evident in what they say and do!  They got married in the fall of 2014, just when the weather in the Free State starts to make a turn towards cooler nights.  Mirischian's dad is well-known designer, Nico Naude - who OF COURSE - made Mirischian's wedding dress.  PERFECT!!   Mirischian walked down the isle looking like a real princess!!! Every photo I took of this wedding brought joy to my heart, as I witnessed the love of two young people whilst capturing their most precious memories.  I thank God for giving me the opportunity to do, in this life, what I love best - taking photos!

Adean & Marli ~ 2013.10.19 (click here to view more photos)




Adean & Marli got married on a beautiful, windy summer's day in the Free State, at Woodlands Function Venue.  Marli was a sparkling bride, and Adean a charming groom! Every detail of the wedding was planned SO carefully - leading to a perfect day! Marli has an inner beauty that shines through, and Adean's gentle spirit and love for his bride was tangible.  When the photo session started, there was a strong wind and red Free State sand covering everything - but nothing could stop this couple!  They were prepared to withstand all nature's elements to get the most beautiful photos! Thank you Adean and Marli! You are a stunning couple!!!

Michael and Linda....what can I say? A godly couple, a match made in heaven! Their wedding, to me, spelt CELEBRATION - CELEBRATION - CELEBRATION!  The couple got married on 31 December 2013 at Olive Ranch, Bloemfontein, and we celebrated up to the early morning hours of the new year. I enjoyed the vibrancy of the whole wedding, and they went ALL THE WAY with the photo session - through veldt, laying in the grass, climbing up a steep hill - and all of that with a bride on heels of 8 inches high! Well done Linda! :-)  I really enjoyed myself taking these photos, and I trust that it captured your day perfectly, Michael and Linda!

Die Hagemans van Reddersburg!!! Sjoe! Inez is 'n boervrou duisend! En 'n organiseerder van formaat! Ek ontvang elke jaar 'n oproep van haar, en dan sê sy:  "Laurika, wanneer kom neem jy weer foto's? Die mense maak my mal!!"  As ek my oë uitvee, het sy vir my 'n hele foto-naweek gereël - van hoek tot kant geboek om verskeie families af te neem.  Hoe sê mens dankie vir so 'n vriendin??!!
DANKIE INEZ - jy is die BESTE!!  Ek deel graag hier van hul memories.....
