Mo and Nazia had a massive wedding at the Birchwood hotel in Kempton Park. I had to join forces with another photographer in order to capture as many people as possible. I was also ask to photograph the Walima the next day so here are some images from both days.

I finally had an opportunity to shoot a wedding at Casalinga in Muldersdrift. Marc and Claire had such an amazing and blessed ceremony held by Pastor David Molapo which was set in Casalinga’s stunning garden. I had such a fun day photographing the two of them. Claire almost couldn’t stop laughing and smiling! They had a lunch reception which meant I got to finish the day early for a change A big thanks to the whole family who were so warm and welcoming.

All the way from the UK, Andrew and Kejenne travelled to sunny Johannesburg to celebrate their wonderful wedding at the stunning Shepstone Gardens. Always with a smile on their faces it was as if they had just met which made our job too easy! Fantastic decor, beautiful bridesmaids, dashing bestmen and the most jolly bride and groom made this day absolutely awesome. Wishing them all the best!

Eddy + Jolandi

I always love weddings that are outside of my home town. It just makes it a little more interesting. Eddy and Jolandi got married at Lake Umuzi which is in Secuda just an hour and half’s drive from Johannesburg. Just around the corner from the venue was what seemed to be an abandon work place of some sort. There were few broken down buildings which made for an awesome creative location. We spent our whole session there and probably could’ve made use of another hour! For the reception I set up the photobooth which had a slow and shy start but eventually became really popular and almost stealing the party away. An absolute fun wedding, thank you both!

Eddy and Jolandi drove all the way to Jhb from Secuda for their engagement session which we did at the Emmarentia Dam. I didn’t realise you needed permission to have a casual shoot there so after being discovered by security we were asked to leave. We decided to be rebels and duck and dive trying our best to avoid being caught. We would quickly move around and as soon as we saw a security guard nearby I would hide the camera just pretend to be visiting the park. It reminded me of my old skate boarding days of how we used to do the exact same thing. Thankfully the bestman and bridesmaid came along too to help keep a watch out

Leigh + Mark

I had the privilege of photographing an awesome e-session of a lovely couple, Mark and Leigh at 44 Stanley in Johannesburg. I joked with Leigh saying that Mark looks a little like Ryan Gosling but she quickly corrected me and said Ryan Gosling looks like him! We had the shoot as the sun was setting so we had to work quickly but thanks to their natural flare I think I got some amazing shots.

Peggy is a renowned Burlesque performer based in London. We met during a Sunday Times photo shoot for an article about the Hurly Burly Show which was held at Emperors Palace in Johannesburg. We made friends and connected on facebook. Peggy was looking to have a personal photo shoot done before leaving for home and we decided to collaborate and do a pin-up creative portrait session. She had the privilege of modeling the clothing from Mechant and Gentil (in their store at 44 Stanley) and jewellery by Red Sea Jewellers. It really was an absolute pleasure working together as well as getting to know her.

Elizna + Cecil

I recently started mountain biking and earlier this year I bought my first bike…yes, my first bike ever! I’ve gotten quite into now and even though those uphills are my worst enemy I’m still persevering. When Elizna booked her esession I asked her what her and her fiance’s hobbies were. She gave me a list and the one thing that stood out was mountain biking! So I took this opportunity to create a themed engagement shoot for them and this is how it came out…

Best of 2012

Wesley Poon — Tue, 15 Jan 2013 12:37:56 +0000

I got to spend the last day of 2012 with the girl of my dreams and all my best friends. 2012 was such a tough year for many reasons but it made me so much stronger as a person. Each year I meet so many amazing people in the business and I get the privilege of photographing their wedding. Being a wedding photographer is such a huge responsibility and to be given that trust from a client is a real honor. I want to really thank every bride and groom of 2012 for giving me that opportunity and for adding to the blessing of my life. Here’s to 2013!

Nazia and Mo had a very sweet engagement party at the Dainfern country club. I absolutely loved the way they did the decor. So much attention to detail! After the lunch we had an awesome creative couples session on the golf course.
