I Just finished editing Adele and Eugene’s wedding pictures….   whilst editing I had a smile on my face…. thinking I can’t resist posting more…. what a gorgeous couple…. gorgeous skies…. gorgeous textures…..

And also wanted to post some BW….

Testimonial:

An email from Adele:

“WOW – WOW WOW they are awesome. I have looked at them 4 x already.
They are really amazing. You have done an excellent outstanding job.
Â
Many many thanks!!!”

“Thanks a mil – Eugene is just as impressed”

Another gorgeous Jewish Wedding at Shepstone Gardens….

I met Lisa just over a month ago…. yip a month to plan a wedding! Well Lisa,  I take my hat off to you, your wedding was supberb in every way. You were so relaxed, and so down to earth….  the venue, the food, the decor, your wedding dress, your shoes, you…. (I could go on all day) were simply beautiful!

Thank you, to both you and Andrew for an amazing day…. the laughs, the 60 seconds per shoot for your creatives over a glass of scotch (no pressure) ….

Thank you also to Stella Sassen  for second shooting with me, you got some crackers indeed….

 The magical moments of getting ready….

 

 

 

The day before Adele and Eugene’s wedding, it was pouring with rain. I was praying the rain would go away on their special day….. and on their wedding day, the skies were clear and the sun was bright, and then I was praying for clouds…. and moody skies…. (but no rain)…. the thoughts of a wedding photographer…. go figure

Thankfully all turned out well….  sunny skies throughout…. and then the sky darkened…. I was in my element….

A quick story about the next pic, I have been told that the easiest way to get a child to look at the camera is to ask them if they can see Barney in the lens…. I have tried this on several occasions and the next pic of Caitlyn is exactly that…. looking for Barney. Needless to say, the whole day and night she was desperately looking for him but he was nowhere in sight…. sorry Caitlyn…. but I did get some great pictures of you….

So, what do you get when you have a gorgeous couple –  getting married in Johannesburg with our unpredictable weather, and you throw in an architectural ruine, some beautiful green grass and some moody skies? …. a wedding as Adele said “that is simply top billing style” and perfect in every way….

Adele and Eugene, you were both so fantastic on the day, thank you for everything.

You were the Models of the century, fun, and energetic…. Being your wedding photographer was made very easy. A big thank you to your family as well, who made us feel warm and welcome. Wishing you both all the very best….

 

  The next pic was taken by my second shooter Michael…. a cracker indeed!!

 

 

  

 

A sneak peek at Adele and Eugene’s ( The Model) – wedding…. more to come next week

You cannot get better than being in a photographic workshop with Andrea Carlyle and Dror Eyal…. (ok may be if you are not a photographer, then this won’t grab you as much

Besides the fact that I love learning new techniques, I have the utmost respect for them, and it was so much fun…. Thank you Andrea, thank you Dror…. I hope there will be more (a little rhyme for the day….cheesy)

Here are a few pics from the shoot….
