The workshop sold out in the very first week!  How awesome is that?  Just one couple cancelled, so two places (obviously) are available should you wish to join us, which you can do by merely browsing the workshop website.

We now need a model for the workshop.  Any takers out there? Anyone?

 
It will be a fun afternoon with a trash-the-dress theme of shooting - although, I promise your wedding frock will not be ruined. We tend to attract very adventurous personalities, so should you sway towards the self-assured, then you're also more than welcome.

If you are predisposed to being photographed by 20 different people, and prepared to stand in the most ridiculous spots, then please email us at bookings@theworkshops.co.za to lay your hands on more details.

Cathy Heaton, a very talented make-up artist, has kindly agreed to do make up and we will provide you with the images submitted together with a couple of prints.

I have been very quiet on this blog for far too long, so just a quick little something, once again all in the name of procrastination, and back to the grind I go.

I can't pinpoint exactly how I initially scan and ultimately select images I'm partial to for the blog, but, for some reason or another, I'm not especiallly accomplished at this particular task, as I tend to neglect images like this.

I have been working ferociously this past week in an attempt to catch up with my editing, which is no easy task, being beset with the distractions of hyperactive midgets and the World Cup.

On the photography side, however, it's been a good week, as we were nominated for two VOW awards, along with news two of our portrait images and a wedding portfolio also succeeded to the finals of the African Photographic Awards.  Oh, and to put the cherry on the cake, two of our clients' weddings were featured in the latest Wedding Inspirations Magazine.

So, from a low-key perspective, it's been quite a fairly decent week.

OK, my apologies, as I do realise self-satisfaction can be awfully annoying.  In fact, my intention was to be all modest and humble and not to blow my own trumpet, but, sod it; I'm chuffed to the nines with the news!

It's funny how fast time flies by when you're a wedding photographer. I can remember chatting to Marcelle over a cappuccino like it was yesterday.  Fast forward four months and here we are, Marcelle's and Steyn's wedding. A wedding, mind you, that won't be forgotten in a hurry. Some weddings have a certain something about them, which, if not unusual, are at least different from the norm.  Marcelle's and Steyn's was one of those celebrations.

Firstly, it was an evening ceremony, so we scheduled their photo-shoot beforehand and, secondly, it was our very first ever medieval-themed wedding.

I have to pass on a big thanks to Marcelle and Steyn for being fabulous and so relaxed on their wedding day! My deepest gratitude to you both.  I can't wait to show you the rest!

Their gorgeous little boy.
