Us and that Wild pear tree...

Tuesday, 22 December 2015

Not too long ago I blogged about this enchanting wild pear tree that we found in an old orchard close to a picturesque old farmhouse…There must have been something in the air that day as little did we know that Dust and Dreams Photography would be moving soon...and we are so so excited that not only will that tree now be in our very own backyard but we will also be calling that darling house our home!

From 2016 we will be much closer to our clients and will be able to travel to surrounding areas easily.

We are so thrilled about this new adventure and to celebrate this very exciting change we are not only offering a 10% discount to any love struck couple who book one of our Wedding or Engagement packages between today and on or before the 14th of February 2016 but also a 10% discount to any Portrait session booked during the same period of time.

* This special discount only applies to new bookings made :)
** The actual photo session does not have to fall in between those dates. Bookings are however to be confirmed to qualify for this discount.
*** Terms & conditions apply

Tuesday, 27 January 2015

Today marks our 100th blog post and we therefore wanted to share our brand new look with you!

2015 is a fresh start, a " full power 24/7" approach and we are very very excited about our new brand, our new "look" and new exciting philosophies.


Dust and Dreams Bespoke USB drives…

Thursday, 4 September 2014


September is just jammed packed with exciting news…

So tell us, how many of you have some of the newest Apple PC’s, laptops or gadgets that no longer have a CD/DVD drive?
We really thought long and hard about all of you out there and…These little custom USB drives are the ultimate in chic yumminess ( and that’s not only because they have our name on them!) but now you will be able to literally keep those memories close to your heart and view your first dance, your true inner goddess or the great love of your life whenever you like!
Dust and Dreams are thrilled with these bespoke little beauties of ours and each {wedding} and {ethereal emotion} package will include this little gem with all your edited photos on. They will also be available as a little splurge “add-on” on all the other packages…

Love them as much as we do!!

 
 

It is Spring!!! and our new { Personal Branding} package

Monday, 1 September 2014


It is Spring {at long last!!} and we are pretty excited to reveal a brand new package which is for when “a selfie” is just not good enough!
Our {personal branding} session is an all-out glamour session and no, it is not going to be studio headshots for your CV or corporate posters but it will be for all you “creatives” out there who need those perfect picks to add a little bit of “you” to your own website or social media platform.
If you are a small {or large} business owner or entrepreneur  dying to get your brand out of the shadows but who might need a little push… maybe a day as a goddess and some photos which makes you look like a million dollars is just what you need to set you apart from the ever present competition!
These shots will be styled and conceptualised to showcase what makes you unique and to add your individual stamp to your brand.
Maybe that just what your budding business needs….a face… YOUR face…
Maybe you are a blogger just starting out or a stay at home mom who is an entrepreneur at heart…Maybe you are an aspiring model or an author or maybe you just need to really SEE yourself to take that ultimate career leap… maybe you are forever paging through magazines wondering what you would look like in an editorial spread…let us show you!
Where will we do this? You tell us… it can be at your favourite coffee shop, on your couch, at a custom location, the back of a moped or even in your bathtub if you like!
...all the nitty gritty details can be found on our website...
 

Brand New... {Album Design} bespoke service

Tuesday, 26 August 2014


Dust and Dreams Photography now also offer an {Album Design} service. We will design a luxury album for you and have it printed and bound by our favourite professional printers. Each design package will be quoted according to the size of the album and will include the album design (no, we will not charge you per hour like some others do…), proofs for you to check once the page designs are done as well as the final printing and the actual album.
Regardless of whether we took the photos of your special day for you, give us a shout and we can create a special album for you to have all those darling moments close at hand… and to make everyone else green with envy!
I can tell you that we feel a real childlike warm and fuzziness when showing someone their brand new album…  so we cannot wait to hear from you!

 
All above albums designed by Dust and Dreams Photography.

CALLING ALL COUPLES...PEOPLE IN LOVE... AND ALL THE GORGEOUS LADIES OUT THERE

Saturday, 11 January 2014


For 2014 we are planning a couple of styled shoots with the first in April (more about the awesome couple who is joining us for this one soon….)

We are looking for a whole day of emotion (and lots of fun) where we can capture pure puppy love, raw dreams or even heartbroken moments of longing and for this we are not looking for models but for a real couple genuinely in love who are keen to have some fun and go home with some wonderful memories and pictures to boot. We are looking for one {or a few J } of you!

We will conceptualize the shoots (as they will be built around you), scout locations, style wardrobe and props (we will bring lots of goodies and so will you… your favourite pair of KILLER heels, your doggies… if the location allows, a first love letter, that bottle of bubbles left over from your wedding….) and we will give you a hand with hair and make up to create something soft and romantic or maybe wild and edgy. We are looking for muses who will help us tell a story. We are not looking for run of the mill pictures but for something that will make someone pick your photo up time and again.

So we are looking for the brave, the daring and a couple who can be our inspiration!

The dates and locations will depend on the couples we chose and will be announced closer to the time.

If you are interested in joining us for any of the styled shoots for 2014 drop us an email, a FB comment or comment on our blog post. We will choose a few lucky couples who will spend an amazing day with us!  Any ladies who are interested in joining the styled shoot by yourselves please give us a shout too as Elaine has something very special in mind for you!
