Since our break in, Iaan and I have been working with the police and we decided to compile a list of stolen cameras and lenses. If your camera or lenses has been stolen the past few months, please list it here. Please also FB, tweet and share this link to as many people as possible, so that we can get a decent list asap. Thanks.
As promised, here are some behind the scene photos of last month’s workshop. Thank you so much to everyone that attended and also a big thank you to Maree Louw from Natural light Photography for taking these photos.
In the first week of October I hosted another workshop here in Stellenbosch. This time the theme for the workshop was fun, quirky and very colourful. In general I tend to go for the very simple, down to earth colours, but this time I challenged myself to do something a bit bolder. :) The funky flowers were done by Mariette from Varsliefde and the decor and stationary by Anelle from Seven Swans.
Some of you might have seen my post on Facebook and saw that I moved from Canon to Nikon.
So now you all want to know how it happened and why I moved. Before I tell the story, please let me just say this. With this post I’m not intending to offend anyone or slander any brands, but purely share my experience.
I’m a loyal brand evangelist. When I love a product or service, I always talk about it.
So weeks ago, something happened I never expected…
Today I’m going to share some behind the scene photos of my last wedding photography workshop here in Stellenbosch. The photos were taken through the two day workshop, last month, by the awesome Claudia De Nobrega from VDA STUDIOS. Amongst some exciting other things, I’m preparing for next week’s workshop and I though this might be a little taste of what next weeks photographers can look forward to :)
And with these great photos, I’m going to open up an opportunity to you. If you’re a photographer, and you’ve always wanted to attend one of my workshops, here is an opportunity….I’m giving away one spot for someone at next week’s workshop.
Styled shoots are on of my favourite things to photograph and seems to be one of the highlights of my workshops. As soon as I downloaded these photos I couldn’t wait to blog them! I love the simplistic colours Betina’s hairpiece is to die for!
In the beginning of September I did a workshop with 10 girls here in Stellenbosch. The workshop was a fun, informal two days with loads of talking, discussing and some shooting. In my workshops I share a lot about my business and talk through all the issues and questions photographers have regarding the business of wedding photography.
We were just about to start another KIKI TV show when I received the email. I was so excited! Some of my Iphone photos were chosen to be exhibited in Johannesburg!
Just the week before, Iaan forwarded an article to me from Mark Forrest’s blog about the first ever Iphoneography exhibition taking place in Santon, Johannesburg. As you all know, I’m a HUGE Apple fan and I love (ok maybe I’m more addicted to) my Iphone. I love all the functions, but the camera and instant editing rocks my world!
The yellow inspiration from my workshop continued into a gorgeous styled couple shoot on Landgoed Te Werve. Nelleke and Marinus were the very brave models for the shoot, they got married in May 2011 and had the opportunity to once again, get dressed up and relive their special day. Thank you guys for posing for us! I really appreciate your willingness! Standing in front of 13 cameras and 3 videographers is not a joke :) You guys were perfect! Then I want to share some very exciting news :) For the first time ever we filmed my workshop! Thank you to the fabulous team of Ryan de Wit of Unicorn Wedding Films for the gorgeous movie! You can view the movie at the bottom of the post. Enjoy!
Yellow has never been one of my favourite colours, but some time ago I saw some yellow inspiration and then I thought the yellow and grey theme could be quite a fun one to photograph. Consequently, when it came to choosing a colour theme for my Holland workshop in Den Haag last month I decided yellow was going to be the colour. At the workshop I shared on how to shoot details and get the best result from different angles. I believe details is a very important part of any wedding. The details help to tell the story of the couple and their personality. I absolutely love details! :)
Iaan and I are finally home. We returned from our 50 day trip to Europe last Friday and since then I’ve been trying to get my head around everything that happened on the trip. I’ve been scanning through photos and re-calling all the fantastic memories of the 50 days in 5 countries trip. One of the places we visited, while in Europe, was Den Haag, Holland, where I hosted a two day workshop with some fabulous wedding photographers.
