‘n Heerlike “kuier” in Kaapstad een middag saam met Carinus en Eljo. Dit was so lekker om hulle te ontmoet, aangesien ek hulle troue ook net daarna afgeneem het! So keep your eyes pealed vir hulle awesome en classy troue.

Dankie Carinus en Eljo, julle is soveel fun!

Soms wens ek kan beter met woorde verduidelik wat ek voel in my hart. Soos met Nielbert en Tharisa se troue. Ek wil vir julle verduidelik hoekom dit so lekker was. Hoekom dit vir my so mooi was. Maar, my woorde voel regtig min en of dit die troue gaan skade aandoen. So back to lizelle-language…photos!

Geniet Nielbert en Tharisa. Was regtig vir my so lekker met julle 2.

Don’t ask… Heheee.

Viljoen en Chris-Marie, julle dag was een groot fees van begin tot einde. Julle is so ‘n “inspirational couple” en mens kan nie mis dat julle mekaar en God net sooo lief het nie. Dis lekker om tyd met julle te spandeer en ek kan net sien hoe julle mense se lewens sal aanraak, net deur wie julle is. Julle het aan die kleinste fynste detail gedink vir die dag maar steeds dit so baie geniet. Dankie! Was vir my so lekker om daar te kon wees en ek kon sien julle gaste geniet dit net so. Geniet julle foto’s!

Couldn’t resist taking this photo of my assistant! Dankie vir goeie werk Nadine!

Golo and Ina: Cape Town

lizelle — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:21:25 +0000

It feels like I’ve gotten to know ina and golo so well. First we did a family shoot and then came their awesome wedding! It was very small and intimate and it looked like they had so much fun! Ina had a different dress for the reception and i loved both. The “reception dress” was surpose to be used for their “trash the dress” shoot, but unfortunately the weather/their time in SA didn’t allow it in the end. I still think we should have a snow TTD in Sweden, where they are from!

During the time I’ve spend with Ina and Golo, i could see that relationships are very important to them. It shows in their own relationship, but also towards their children, friends and family that came to their SA wedding.

It was so great meeting you ina and golo. I really hope that our paths cross again some time!

Evidence that Freyja and Thora was close by:

I cannot even remember what Henroux (FJS Productions ) was laughing about. Maybe because he is holding a pair of Manolo Blahnik?

LOVED this moment!

Casper and Daniela: Stellenbosch (South Africa)

What an awesome privilege to be part of Casper and Daniela’s wedding. Since the first day i met up with Daniela and her sister, i knew this was going to be one special day. They are such an awesome team and i loved all the detail that went into their day. The “semi outside” reception was such a treat after a hot day.

Thanks you thank you thank you Casper and Daniela, I enjoyed photographing you so much. (You will see i blogged way too many, but couldn’t choose!)

Blessings!!!!!

Daniela has such a warm heart:

Ross and Magriet Pregnancy

lizelle — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 14:05:40 +0000

Ross and Magriet is such a blessing. If you’ve met them, you want to know them better. They genuinely cares about the people around them and they certainly has had an impact on my life. Ross is a paster at Shofar Christian Church (Tygerberg) and Magriet is a doctor. But ultimately, they are just 2 people who really love God, making a difference in this world.

Dankie dat julle al so baie op die regte tyd gevra hoe dit gaan! Geniet julle kiekies!!!

Turning 29

lizelle — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 09:04:03 +0000

I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed as I’m sitting here. Its by birthday i am being overflowed by love, care, grace, encouragement, presents, phone calls, facebook messages, prayers, thoughts and… and… and… There literally is just one thing that can top all of this and that is the fact that God came (AGAIN) and told me that He loves me. And nothing can change that fact. Not even that i often run away from that very love, because my heart just cannot grasp that the King could love ME that much. So yes, I’m overwhelmed, but thankful and ready for what God has in store for me this year.

Thanks to every single one who is adding so much to my day!

And just because i know my earthly dad would have phoned me too today, here is a jewel of a photo i found of him:

Golo, Ina, Freyja and Thora

lizelle — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 18:05:36 +0000

Every family has a flavour….and i like the flavour of this one! It’s incredible how gentle and with how much respect Golo and Ina talk to their children. Since this family is from Sweden, we planned a beach shoot for them. What we did not plan was HECTIC wind. When i got there i though i would have to look for another spot very quickly, but when the family arrived, they acted like this wind was 100% normal and great conditions to do the famiy shoot in. There were also tons of fish in the bay, which was a magnet to fishermen, seabirds and loads of seals. In the end of the day, the wind really did add his flavour too. Wind + the Schmidt family = grrrreat combo! Also, soon you will get to see the pictures on my blog of their intimate wedding a couple of weeks after this shoot!

Enjoy Ina, Golo, Freyja and Thora and thanks for just being awesome to meet. When you come to SA again, please come visit!

Wind, fishermen, seals and seagulls!

The way every girl should be adored:

Wade and Bianca are such gentle people. (Gentle people with energy!) It was so much fun seeing how they enjoyed the day, even though the wind blew like crazy. The just relaxed and had an awesome day with their friends and family. It was so much fun getting to know you a bit better Wade and Bianca! Please let me know if you ever renew your vows!

My sister and her fiance!

lizelle — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 22:35:04 +0000

So you have met MG and Tjaart, but here is one of my 2 sisters, Annelle! (Ok stepsister, but actually i do think we rrrrrreally are sisters, ok!?)

Annelle is one of the kindest, warmest, big-hearted girls I’ve ever met. There is not much of a chance of something like personal space with her; she jumps right into your heart. She has listened to endless stories and challenges of mine while sitting in the bath. We’ve shared many tears, she has made me laugh like only a sister can and is always-always-always willing to listen.

To be in BJ’s and Annelle’s company, is pure joy. And i cannot wait for their wedding! I will be walking down the isle (as a bridesmaid) too. #superexcited!

Geniet julle kiekies! Dit was so ‘n lekker middag saam met die 2 van julle. Ons maak weer so op julle 50ste huweliksherdenking, ok!

Thanks BJ for this image!

Joy-JoY-JOY!!! Dit straal uit hierdie 2! (Loer ook na hulle verlowingfoto’s HIER)

Dit was net ‘n fees om deel te wees van hulle eerste dag van hul huwelik. Ek glo hulle gaan nog baie ander seën met wie hulle as couple is. So baie dankie dat ek kon deel wees en dat julle my soos die HEEL beste fotograaf in die HELE wereld laat voel het!

Hello 2012!

2 of my friends got married towards the end of last year. It was SUCH an awesome experience to witness their wedding. I would never have thought that my afrikaans friend that barely spoke a word of english while studying an english coarse, would marry an “engelsman!” But surely God is the perfect match maker!!!!! So lief vir julle Neitjie en Duncan!

Wil Punt (Peartree) was the photographer and did such an awesome job, please follow THIS LINK to have a look. Anné asked me to just take a few shots, which i mainly did before the wedding. Enjoy!

Mariette (Vars Liefde) still full of energy and jokes after doing an awesome job with the flowers:

Anné’s brother, Willie:

One of Anné’s 3 sisters. Hmmm, Helanzi did you stole some wedding cake or something!?!?

Willie giving his dad a head massage to relax:

This bottle of Champagne is from Anné’s parent’s wedding back in 1985!!!

The wedding was held on their family farm and EVERYTHING was just perfect:

Anné’s mom has a heart of gold:

The Dryers. I like to call them the vitamin-family, since I think they are most beautiful 5 people to make up a family.

Sjoe Neitjie jy is mooi!

Anné’s dress was so unique, so beautiful. This dress maker surely is talented: Juanri Image Consultant and Fashion Stylist.

Wilhelm en Claudia: Stellenbosch

lizelle — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 21:09:13 +0000

Wilhelm en Claudia het regtig net hulle dag geniet. Absolute Weddings kon help met baie van die reelings, aangesien die bruidspaar …en basies die hele troue se gaste…van plekke soos Pretoria en Klerksdorp kom! ‘n Lekker naweek troue. Die hele gevoel vir die troue is gevestig met die “live music” wat gespeel het terwyl die mense rustig deur die wingerde met die berg-uitsig gestap het, met ‘n drankie in die hand, van die diens na die onthaal. (Sjoe, ‘n laaaang sin!) Wat ‘n voorreg vir hierdie 2 om in hierdie deel van die wereld te kon trou.

Dankie Wilhelm en Claudia dat ek kon deel wees van al die lekkertes!!! Geniet julle foto’s!

Matthew, Suraya + tummy: LONDON

lizelle — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 05:30:34 +0000

The previous time I saw Matthew and Suraya was when they came so SA for their honeymoon in April 2010. They live in London, very close to the well known Paddington Station. Suraya is originally from Singapore. For their honeymoon shoot, we drove around in Cape Town, photographing them at different landmarks like the Bo-Kaap, Blouberg and Simonstown. (View the shoot HERE.) This time around, it was in London…with a little baby on it’s way! I stayed with Matthew and Suraya for 2 days and I don’t think anyone has every spoiled me as much. When i arrived, Suraya cooked us a traditional English meal with roast, Yorkshire-pudding and all! They also made me a hamper with snacks like Butterscotch sweets, tea from Harrods and Shortbread cookies. We went to the famous Portobello Market, Windsor, Harrods, Tower bridge and much more. We planned one “official” shoot in the most beautiful old market, Leadenhall Market. This space has been used in movie scenes and i can just see why. The rest of the time we just had fun and photographed wherever we went.

Matthew and Suraya, what a privilege to photograph you in London. Thank you so much for spoiling me, taking me to all these places that i’ve only seen on postcards and just being awesome to be around! And Suraya, as you said, hopefully we get to see each other again…when you are having a holiday in SA! I hope you enjoy these images as much as i enjoyed taking them. Lots and lots of blessings for you as a (soon to be) family.
