Rhuan & Carine's pre-wedding shoot  
Liefland wedding venue - April 2019

A pre-wedding shoot, or engagement shoot is always such fun - seeing the happiness, togetherness and hope for the future, in a couple soon to be married, is always special! 
The engagement is such a special and significant event, and deserves its own collection of photos to mark the event, as the 1st step on the road to the wedding day.  

However, the shoot serves more than one purpose. Firstly, it allows the photographer and the couple to get better acquainted, get to know each other, and become comfortable being together.  A good photographer will also teach a few basic poses, share a few jokes, and before you know it, the couple will be looking like professional models, unaware of the camera clicking away. No one wants forced smiles and awkward poses for their wedding images and the pre-wedding shoot helps to get the couple relaxed and comfortable, and being themselves in front of the camera.  

 Our pre-wedding shoot with Rhuan and Carine was no different.  Like most grooms-to-be, Rhuan wasn't thrilled to be in front of the camera, but by the end of the shoot, the couple were happily interacting with each other, without any thought of the camera, resulting in beautiful and natural images.

Alison & Morné Engagement Shoot Hangklip Beach - May 2019 LOVE and LAUGHTER are the words best describing this special couple.  Their love for each other is radiant, they are best friends, and they laugh all the time, together. Morné & Alison were winners of the SA Wedding Directory Win your Wedding competition and Kobus Kruger Photography sponsored their engagement shoot and wedding photography. We chose a little, out of the way beach at Hangklip, close to Pringle Bay, and it was a spectacular backdrop for this very special engagement shoot.  For a couple that professed to be camera shy, Alison and Morné were soon so comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera, it was easy capturing these stunning images. Alison and Morné will be getting married at Liefland wedding venue at Tesselaarsdal at the end of June and we can't wait to be part of their special day, and capture more happy memories for this amazing couple!

Introduction, Kobus Kruger Photography.

I have been putting this off for a while, but everywhere I keep getting reminders of the importance of blogging. So here we go... My name is Kobus, among other things I am also a photographer. That said, I am a little camera shy though, it takes serious convincing for me to appear in front of the lens (When I do, I normally have to make at least six or seven attempts at the "selfie" thing). Hence there is not an abundance of mugshots of me out there. I will make an exception for you though... I have thought of making some video clips too, but my heart still pounds wildly at the idea... give it a few more days. I had a fairly big surgery little over 2 years ago and in the time I was recovering I spent a lot of time on my photography exclusively. Analyzing, strategising where to go with it etc. In this time I built a bit of a product photo portfolio and got to work on a music video with my ultra creative brother. This also led me into the very satisfying field of time l
