Mpopi and Rorisang at Shepstone Gardens

Shepstone is fast becoming our regular wedding venue it seems, either that or we just get a lot of cool, funky clients. Last weekend, no rain, no scorcher of a day, wedding running late – bonus, extra time, which means we get to do some killer bee bridal portraits. Add to that a very smooth, and calm bridal couple and you have the making of a serious party – hang on, it did rain, in fact it came bucketing down, seconds after I had finished the last group photo, I remember now, I spent a good 20 minutes in the rain looking for a lens cap I’d dropped.

Anyway, this week I wanted to post a couple more posed, classical kind of portraits. For me, they were that kind of couple – although the speeches did leave me in stitches.

I always try to find a different spot to photograph at, so that everyone gets unique images

I could on for hours about the benefits of having a videographer who knows what they’re doing and doesn’t light up the dancefloor like the space shuttle is about to land. These are the kind of images you get when you happen to have one of those.

 

Rob and Santi from Digital Video Images, always helpful, always getting their lighting just right. Always keeping us entertained
