This is my favorite image from this weekend, actually it’s one of my favorite images from this season. We were at The Palace, the first dance had just ended and Chani and her dad took to the dance floor for their father daughter dance. I think “I Loved Her First” was playing.
I’m not sure what it was about that moment and I don’t really think that a photograph can convey that kind of emotion, or that connection between a girl and her dad. I took a couple of dancing images, just Chani hanging on to her dad, just her arms wrapped around his neck, his eyes slightly red, when I spotted her mom standing against the wall, wiping her eyes, Chani’s uncle putting a reassuring arm around her.
I got one photo all perfectly lined up, before her mom turned around overcome by emotion. It was one of those moments, you couldn’t help but think about your relationship with your own dad, and maybe craftily wipe a tear away before it formed.
Then it was over and someone came and asked me how I managed to shoot dance images without any flash – the technical stuff that us photographers think is important.

Got to love a groom who gets up and starts his speech with a quote from Blink 182 – I wish I could remember what it was, but I was too stunned from the … “as Blink 182 sing ..” comment.
So Rianka and I, headed down to Intundla this weekend to shoot Carri and Pete’s wedding and besides being all around rockstars, Carri and Pete showed up in a vintage car. You have to imagine the drive up the dirt path to Intundla … let’s just say that we had a pool going on where the car will be there or not.

These long weekends are confusing me completely, kind of spinning weekends into week days. We’re slowly heading into the quiet season. I can’t wait, maybe head down to the coast with the bear, watch him dip his toes into the ocean for the first time.
For now though it’s still the occasional rain and the odd bit of lightning flickering across the sky, highveld weather, the weather we get just before it starts getting cold and we dream of heading down to our secret beach house. I’m a bit late with Kerry and Hayden’s blog post, but it’s been on our Facebook page for a while now, and there’s more images from their gorgeous (dare I say it) summery wedding day posted there.

I’m still finding other vendors violating our copyright. This morning the weekly DMCA scan that we run came back with two sites that were using whole paragraphs from this site and one videographer who used our images without permission on a vimeo video.
We take these things very seriously, and issue DCMA take down notices. In the past we have tried to send nice emails requesting that our images be taken down and were met with rude replies. If you plan on using one of our images please note our rates for commercial usage and contact us directly.
