We’d kind of gotten turned around in the one way streets that cluster around the Carlton Centre, in the inner city, turned the corner and a huge plume of yellow and purple smoke was erupting out of a car. Someone carrying some sort of implement of destruction rushed to the smoking car and started banging on the driver’s window. A film crew had closed off the road, they were shooting a scene. It’s tough trying to find a quiet location on a Saturday afternoon in the Johannesburg city centre.

That’s ok though, today our venue is none other than Turbine Hall. I remember it back from the old days when I went to watch Faithless play there – it was one of V and I’s first official dates. Today we get to shoot Angela and Patrick’s wedding in some of the nicest concrete chic structures in Jo’burg. Nice. I love industrial backdrops.

Two incredibly photogenic people, the nicest bridal party, ex-Rhodents galore and edgy chic decor. What a way to end an incredible year.

Reception: Turbine Hall – where Lance, the Ops Manager was just a rockstar.
Ceremony: St George’s Anglican Church ( Parktown )
Getting Ready: The Westcliff

I chuckle every time I think about the Checkers marketing department having to promote turducken, imagine having to punt a food where the first four letters spell …

When I first met Claire she told me that she didn’t want a Rupert and Clarissa album, having no idea who Rupert and Clarissa were, I asked Google. Anyway, having had a quick scan I’m pretty sure their pics don’t look anything like Rupert and Clarissa. The reception itself was held at the Johannesburg Country Club, which is one of those venues that has rolling green lawns, beautiful blue skies, and some very grand architecture … naturally we ignored those and looked for a spot with some more gritty character. It also helped that its that time of the year when at around 16h00 or so, the heavens start to darken and we get some of the most majestic thunderheads rolling in, turning the skies into a dramatic tableau. Seriously majestic stuff.

I thought that this week I’d use at least one ceremony image from the incredible St Georges in Parktown, which has the most incredible light. I was also tempted to shoot one Rupert and Clarissa image in front of the big white pillars, but the clouds had turned the sky into a serious shade of gray and we had run out of light.

I’ve been listening to Kimya Dawson a lot lately, have you paid attention to her lyrics? I hope they don’t market this stuff to kids. Some people (like my cool music nerd friends) hate Kimya, and some people (like my supercool wife) love it.
The rand also seems to be in free fall, suspiciously the last time I saw Claire and Dale it also took a serious dive. Coincidence?
