Durban photographers
The weather looked promising when we left Durban on route to Providence in the KZN Midlands for Thomas and Janine's wedding, if any thing it was too hot. Fern however gave us some warnings that the weather was going to change quite quickly in the afternoon and hoped that we would finish the photographs early before the garden festivities were abandoned but luckily it held out … [Read more...]
I photographed Scott and Tarryn's engagement shoot not so long ago so we were all familiar with each other and new exactly what was wanted on the day. They made things really easy by all getting ready at the main house at Netherwood so it was a case of running upstairs or downstairs depending on who was ready first. Everyone seemed pretty chilled and things went quite … [Read more...]
I cannot lie, this was a tough wedding due purely to the weather. Richard and Samantha and the rest of the bridal party were unbelievable as they were stomping through mud, running in the fields while the rain came pouring down. I did not mind but it is difficult trying to keep water off the camera and especially the lens and then every now and then you get some droplets … [Read more...]
It is becoming a habit where I have not met the couple before the day but I knew that if they had chosen Cranford as their venue then every thing would be just fine. The weather on the way up to the Midlands was dodgey to say the least so when Khaya and Kwandile had not arrived by the time we were supposed to be shooting the getting ready part, I got a little nervous. And … [Read more...]
Unfortunately I did not meet Michael and Cynthia before the day which always makes it a little odd on the day when you are trying to guess who the bride and groom are(obviously before they are dressed as that would be quite easy to spot then) but after a few minutes of chatting we all felt comfortable and relaxed. Gowrie Farm is a beautiful venue for a wedding with the … [Read more...]
Wow did the weather let us down on this one. The service was meant to be outside overlooking the stunning valley opposite Woodridge but the wind was howling and the rain started pouring down before the service was meant to start. Thankfully their was the pretty chapel that we could use as plan B. Fikile was devastated at first but with a bit of encouragement from her … [Read more...]
I always look forward to photographing at Netherwood as it has such variety and potential for beautiful photographs especially for a wedding. The hardest part about going to a wedding venue often is fighting the urge to do the same photographs as before as that would be so easy so I made sure that I used some places that I hadn't before. It was tricky out in the open due to … [Read more...]
Once again it was back to Cranford Country Lodge for another special wedding. Schalk and Carla were very chilled, excuse the pun as there was still snow in some parts, and it promised to be a fun filled gathering of friends and family. The weather for Schalk and Carla's special day was absolutely perfect considering the heavy snowfalls earlier in the week and I am sure … [Read more...]
Leon and Caryn were the calmest and most relaxed couple that you could ask for. They just wanted me to capture the day as it happened with as little fuss and interference as possible, my dream clients. The whole idea behind the day was to have it done their way and to spend it with their family and closest friends. The cherry on top was when I saw the menu which had Bunny … [Read more...]
Vongani and Fikile wanted to do a photoshoot before their wedding which is coming up in a few weeks time up in the Midlands area so I suggested this previous weekend as I was already up there photographing a wedding the day before. Well our timing could not have been better as it coincided with the week of snow that fell so what a treat to do a photoshoot in the snow. I … [Read more...]
Never take the weather for granted as I found out on Saturday. The day was a scorcher at 30 odd degrees with a blue sky and hardly … View >>
Durban has seen some big surf this past week, the biggest being 4,7m waves. Wade and myself took this opportunity to capture the … View >>
