Black Coffee and Red Apples

It’s been a long couple of weeks, I’ve been (figuratively) chained to the desk in the basement working on albums and doing the post on what seems like millions of photos. Two of my cameras broke while shooting a wedding – the two batteries on the big black camera’s battery grip literally shot out, snapping the hooks and the housing – fortunately I had backup cameras, but that would account for my dry wit at Avianto. After many phone call and trips to Kayalami, the local Nikon repair center and I are finally seeing eye to eye as to who should be paying for the repairs. Anyway, it’s been a while so I figured a bit of an update on what is going on in the studio is in order.

Nicola and John’s album, they’re the baobab guys, was nominated for an album award. After speaking to Nicola we decided not to submit it, I’m not really big on photography competitions, but it was nice to get recognition for a really cool album. I don’t think I posted anything from that album so a quick couple.

I also finished Swathi and Andrei’s killer bee album from their Indian wedding in Mauritius.

I even finished Shelley and Marc’s Shepstone Gardens album (some from that one later this week, after they get a chance to see it). I did find this cool birdcage pic amongst the images – I’ve been having a Eugenio Recuenco week, so it may just be me that loves this pic.

We also opened a couple of dates in Jan, March and May due to cancellations for those that are still looking. I did send out mails to everyone who asked to let them know if anything changed. I’m also in the process of investigating switching back to the traditional albums from the storybook, coffee table books, and am in talks with a local bookbinder to make me a custom sample album.

Also really getting into Hendrik Kerstens’ portraits.

Le Touessrok Wedding, Ilot Mangénie – Swathi and Andrei

The Hindu ceremony took place at a private island called Ilot Mangénie.

Swathi’s sari was an amazing creation that told the love story of a woman who sends a swan to look for her lost love, I stand to be corrected on this, it was just incredible.

Did I mention that this was a private island.

The one thing that Andrei did ask for was that I shoot some B&W, so that they could have classic images like their parents. Not that easy in a ceremony that relies on texture and color. Check out the look they are giving each other!

Don’t forget to check out yesterday’s post with images from their Catholic ceremony at Notre Dame Du Bon Secours.

Tomorrow is admin day at the studio, so if you’re waiting for an email from me, you should get it tomorrow.
