Probably the most played song in my playlist at the moment.
Some of the scenes in the video brought back memories from seemingly very long ago. Sunday afternoon drives through the mountains, braais at Franschhoek, and splashing the pools at “Jan se gat”.
I’m having one of those days…
Uhm, either a lot of sarcasm going on on Facebook, or these people don’t know me very well…
Why yes of course there is a wedding ceremony going on behind me that I’m getting paid for.
LOL, this (sarcastic) clip made me smile and brought back memories from the days working at the printing lab.
Just to spare you the frustration (and the lab workers’ sanity), you cannot scan that 20 year old ID photo and blow it up to “A anything” and keep all the details. It is tooth fairy tales for the modern age.
Below is a slideshow of images that I personally enjoy from Mwende and Emeka’s wedding vow renewal ceremony in Mauritius. It does lack a few pics to complete the story, but it’s late and I have a ton of other work to catch up on.
BTW, as a side note for photographers, especially new ones looking at buying a suitable kit for weddings. I am simply amazed sometimes at the amount of equipment that supposedly “must be had” if you want to shoot a wedding. A typical list may look as follows…
All the images in this slideshow, with the exception of the first one (which Cindy took) was captured with a 5D MkII and a 50mm f/1.4 lens…nothing else. Now I’ll admit, I sometimes craved a wider angle lens, but I didn’t NEED it. My kit for the rest of this year is also exactly the same, except that I added a 28mm f/1.8 to my arsenal.

Tough week ahead, but I’m slightly behind in blogging…so just a quick one from this weekend’s wedding at Toadbury Hall.
and what a scorcher of a day, I’m breaking a sweat just thinking about it…
So last weekend we were hanging out with Tanya and Jaco in what is one of a series of weddings coming up that we are shooting in the “wedding mile”, which is fairly unusual for us. We seem to regularly attract brides who tie the knot in the bush, the mountain, a farm, or some other unorthodox venue, but it’s nice to take a break from travelling once in a while, and besides, the venues in the Muldersdrift area are really popular for a reason.
Ekudeni is one sweet action, tranquil and just very inexplicably relaxing. They have lots of old stuff there, which I dig. We decided to venture outside the venue for the couple shoot though, as it would have been too tempting to shoot Tanya and Jaco pushing a tractor, or filling up an old beaten up rusty car with an ancient petrol pump, and that could have led to a “just married” suitcase scene etc. etc… Of course all those shots would have required selective colouring to work, and that’s just too much work for me (cough cough), so we skipped over and headed for a piece of veld somewhere nearby…and ended up shooting a scene with an old car anyway (but this one was cool, OK).
That’s the car, but this is a real moment…not the scene
