Zisekho’s Bridal Shower

The Hamilton hosted this luxurious, classy bridal shower.  Precious Celebrations was the talented professional planner.  There were the usual games and giggles and an extremely popular Snapdragon Selfie Studio, but the highlight of the afternoon was definitely the ladies who came to sell lotions and potions and, erm……other stuff.   Zisekho, may your wedding be as beautiful as you are, and may your marriage long and happy!  Photography by Leanne Williams, assisted by Sean Williams.

 

Minette’s 40th

Minette’s 40th birthday party was held at Le Sel in the Cradle.  Many of us got lost despite the maps and directions!  I was traveling from another area to where Minette’s directions started.  From google maps I could see that I was very close to Le Sel , and after 10+ years of traveling to new locations almost every day, I was confident I would find it easily.  I left an hour and thirty minutes before… Continue reading

Arnold Chatz Cars Staff Portrait

Norman’s 80th Birthday

For Norman’s 8th….sorry, 80th birthday, his children hosted a fun family event at Emoyeni in Johannesburg.  The celebrations started with a quick family-portrait-session before the guests arrived.  Lots of hugs and kisses and even a few tears followed as the family had obviously not been reunited for some time.  Emoyeni was unfortunately very late in serving the breakfast, but Norman’s children ensured that guests were entertained with a live jazz band and good conversation while they waited.… Continue reading

Nicole & Steven’s Engagement Cocktail Party

Nicole and Steven hosted their enchanted engagement cocktail party in the garden of their family home.  Glamour and class were fashioned by the pure white seating, glitzy chandeliers, fairy lights everywhere, gorgeous pink flowers, and beautiful dessert table.  Guests had a blast in the Selfie-Studio, and thanks to the warm heaters, open bar and vibey DJ, they danced well into the night.  Another exquisite event by Precious Celebrations.  Photography by Leanne Williams. 

Behind the Scenes of TGC’s “Believe” Project

I was fortunate enough to be tracked down by director/producer Michael Michael of MYM Media, to film documentary style behind the scenes footage of Tshwane Gospel Choir‘s music video. Some of my clips even ended up in the official videos! I was also responsible for capturing stills for social media.

At the time of filming, the choir was leading up to their tour of Scotland, and dove straight into the project with exceptional charisma! The shoot lasted two… Continue reading
