There are many, many good reasons to become a wedding photographer – all good (not the least of which is that you get to go to work in shorts from Monday to Friday). Perhaps the only drawback is having to sometimes work in the searing heat while your mates are all relaxing around the pool [...]
There must be very few countries across the world that offer the variety of wedding settings that South Africa offers. There must be even fewer cities across the globe that offer what we do. Cape Town truly is a wedding venue heavyweight. By way of example, if we step away from the beach venues and [...]
‘My chick rocks broer.’ I’ll never forget those words. They came from a guy called Craig Lorden. We were walking/crawling along some very jagged rocks together. But more importantly, his wife was doing the same. It’s just that she was ahead of us. And she wasn’t walking or crawling. She was jumping from rock to [...]
Let me tell you something about Christiaan. He looks like a pretty decent guy. He even acts like a pretty decent guy. But I’m not so sure. You see, Christiaan was a lecturer at Stellenbosch. And uh-huh, Candice was a student at Stellenbosch. In Christiaan’s class. And soon, very soon, Candice was passing her course [...]
Whenever I drive out to shoot a wedding in Franschhoek it feels like I should include a pack horse and a few mules to help me get there. For some or other reason it just feels a long, long way away. In the case of Ernst and Aleksa’s wedding, Chamonix is on the other side [...]
At school, I matriculated with an E in Maths. I didn’t do that much better at Science either. I was okay at History, below average at Art, and my Afrikaans was fair to mild. Every report I ever received said: ‘Warren must stop daydreaming and pay attention.’ I loved school, but I hated memorising what [...]
How does one even begin to describe this wedding? ‘Oh wow’ would probably do the briefest trick. It’s actually quite difficult to describe it in words – it’s one of those ‘you had to be there’ weddings. It goes without saying of course that Sarah and Paul are terribly, terribly nice people. But that’s just [...]
Now don’t get me wrong – Ryno, Anel and their guests are really happy people. And everyone is really chuffed that they got married. But jeepers, at this wedding if you so much as looked at somebody they burst into tears! I was having a field day out there in the hot Paternoster sun. First [...]
As most people who visit my website know, I’m not exactly the most prolific of photographers when it comes to showing you decor at weddings. Here and there I might throw in a consolation table setting if the mood takes me. So for a change let’s depart with tradition to show you some of the [...]
Now here’s something different! Welcome to Herman and Jonel’s connoisseur wedding at the very swish L’ Ermitage in Franschhoek. Different because Herman and Jonel decided to opt for 2 services and 2 receptions – the first for family, the second for friends. So yeeeees, it was a long day holding a camera that felt [...]
