Brighton Beach TTD – Trash The Dress

Monday, July 13, 2009

To end off an amazing weekend at the coast of Kwazulu Natal, another group of us got together for a trash the dress shoot on Sunday 5 July 2009, at Durban’s Brighton Beach. This shoot was organised by Durban wedding photographers, Glenn and Linda Twiggs.

We arrived slightly late, but just in time for the sun to rise at 6:52 am. It was a wind still morning and the reflections on the water was absolutely amazing. After the shoot we stayed at the beach with the boys till almost noon.

Thanks to Linda, Glenn and the beautiful bride models who helped make this shoot possible.

Below is a few of our images, taken as the sun rose on the horizon.

Ballito Sunrise TTD – Trash The Dress

Monday, July 13, 2009

Last weekend, on Saturday the 4th of July 2009 we had an amazing sunrise shoot at Chaka’s Rock, along the Ballito North Coast of Kwazulu Natal. We arrived at the beach just before 6am and started shooting 20min later.

Natasja and the two boys joined me and we had an awesome time together. They were such a great help, holding the off camera flash in position and we loved every moment as the sun broke through the dark early morning clouds on the horizon. The model brides were beautiful and absolutely wonderful to work with. We sincerely hope that they will cherish and enjoy all the images we took of them.

Thanks to everyone who joined us and to those who made the shoot possible, especially to Neil, Tamara and Michael. We had so much fun . . .

Heidelberg Town & Country – Off Camera Flash Workshop

Saturday, June 20, 2009

What a amazing privilege I had to spend two days with three of South Africa’s top wedding photographers. Michael Tree, Mario Sales and Petrus Saayman presented The Town & Country “OCF” Workshop in the small town of Heidelberg. Not only did we learn to master the art of lighting, but we also had the opportunity to meet and network other serious wedding photographers.

And when the lectures were done, we went out into the streets and fields to put all the theory into practice. I must say that I learnt a lot and had a great time taking these pictures here below.
