Aline & Miguel: Thaba Ya Batswana

Aline and Miguel had the first part of their wedding celebration in Venezuela (I received some pictures of that event…it’s pretty darn beautiful over there!). The second part was to be celebrated under an African sky, and therefore enter Thaba Ya Batswana.

They wanted to complete a photo shoot early morning before the festivities began, and I quite gratefully said Amen to that, as it turned out to be yet another scorching hot day with rock solid shadows and white hot highlights for the rest of the afternoon.

Aline and Miguel are one of the coolest couples we have had the privilege of hanging out with so far. After every meeting I had with them, I arrived home smiling and having those silly ongoing conversations with them in my head (is that normal?).

I have a lot of editing to complete at the moment, hence the fact that this post is a week late, and hence the fact that I’m only posting 2 or 3 images for today. OK, maybe four.

Some other news: On Tuesday I got to spend the day with about 20 other photographers, which is VERY rare for me. I mean 20 people in general would already be pushing my social limits, but oh my, 20 photographers! Anyway, it was the Re:invent workshop held at Forum Homini, and hosted by the incomparable Dror Eyal and the queen of detail, Andrea Carlyle :-)
I still have to submit 5 pics of the day for critique, but hopefully they are the kind of teachers who allow work to be handed in late. I have edited a total of 1 pictures of that workshop so far…

I’m starting to reduce the size of the images that I post on my blog to try and get images to load a bit faster, and to therefore provide a more enjoyable internet experience for ya’ll.
