So we have reached the last instalment in the “celebrating love” series. Shaveh and Tim have so much wisdom to share with us, from premarital counselling to making sure that we approach our Tupperware in a constructive manner (yes, you read that right). Shaveh has written a wonderful piece of us all, so let’s get …
Next up in our Celebrating Love series is Berry & Renier; another couple who are as raw and real as it gets. Having walked quite the road to find each other and create this beautiful life they now share, they are putting lessons learned into practise on a daily basis. The love story – how …
When I decided on this “celebrating love” series, I knew that I wanted to feature couples who were inspirational. Who were raw. Who were real. I also love hearing both sides of the love story, so you can imagine my joy when Simone told me that they had decided to each write their own responses …
With the month of love upon us, I have decided to run a small blog series on love. Or, more accurately, relationships and marriage.

Jan Marais Nature Reserve, Stellenbosch I had a wonderful afternoon with the Olivier family, wondering through the park and capturing their interactions. They really were game for anything, especially the two girls. The dynamic between those 2 was so special to witness – you could see how much they love each other and how much …
Paint & Decor, Durbanville Village Square, Durbanville Those of you who know me from my guise as blogger “Sawdust and High Heels” know that I love to paint furniture. Nothing in my house is safe. To be honest, nothing in yours is probably safe from my paint brush either π€£ Anyway, I digress. I had …
Asara Wine Estate & Hotel, Stellenbosch I absolutely loved working with these two – they were game for anything. And, would you believe it if I told you that she had injured her knee just before the big day? She really is such a trooper! Of course, it helped that her date for the evening …
