So it was the start of our travel journey, we made our way to Pretoria for this shoot. Strangely enough this is our first shoot in the city of jacarandas. I'm sure many off you will agree that Johannesburg and Pretoria around this time of the year is simply beautiful. Anjli and Prajesh get married next year January. The couple are Lacoste fans and that is the reason for our first shoot being casual. On location we found this amazing shed with train tracks going through. The colour of the shed and couples outfit is purely coincidental. The second shoot I themed slightly more formal. I always think it’s a good idea to shoot 2 options for a couple shoot incase the first idea dates and a few year down the line u' ll be thinking 'what was I thinking'. Anjli and Prajesh were quite lucky with this shoot, as we had just bought two brand new Nikon lens from the photo and film expo the day before. Not many of you know my one weakness is shopping, so together that and photography combined really who could resist. Now there’s just one more lens I need. more images
A month ago we started giving our e-shoots themes. The idea behind this, is that we will always be forced to think of different locations and themes so that pics and locations don’t start look generic. Once we have used a theme we wont use it again for at least a year and a half. This was a Sunday breakfast picnic shoot. This particular shoot was given as a gift to Shoba by a rather cool bunch of friends. This was actually the first shoot we’ve done for a couple that are already married. We shot this almost a year after Shoba was given this as a gift. Being totally busy, we just could not find a date that suited us both. First the rain ruined the shoot last year then I had to reschedule as the location wasn’t available, then we forgot about it for about 3months and I finally saw a gap and emailed Shoba to try to fit the shoot in. After almost a year of emails it was really nice to finally meet Shoba and Sanjay. More images.
Designer Gift - spoil someone special next month by getting a couples,baby and maternity shoot gift voucher. Click here to fill out contact form for more info This was one shoot that kept get cancelled. What was supposed to be a spring shoot ended up becoming a summer shoot which eventually became a autumn shoot. Thou it may have felt more like winter, as it was the weekend the first cold front hit Johannesburg. Kamini and Dilan’s engagement shoot was scheduled for 7 on this very cold morning. I remember being slightly grumpy, i struggled to get myself out of my warm bed. Then I thought of Dilan who had to get up extra early as he was the furthest away from where we were to shoot (If I felt lazy and sleepy I can only imagine how he felt…) The shoot went of well and my lovely couple really did a good job bracing the icy weather conditions. Kamini and Dilan’s wedding will take place in august this year, we can’t wait for the shoot. more pics
For other couple out there a E-shoot/engagement shoot is a lovely way to personalise your wedding day. You can use these pictures for so many things on the wedding day. It can be a way of expressing to your guests the couple you are. Things you can use pics for: Guest signing book/ Canvas message board, use a different picture for each one of your tables as a numbering alternative, Thank you cards that most couples give out on the day to guests and slide shows( perfect for those speeches at receptions). All of these things can be custom made for you by designer photo. Please drop us a mail should you be interested Poonam and Sacheen get married next year March. i suggested they do the couple shoot so they were familiar with it on the wedding day. Its really nice to get to know a couple before the wedding because generally they will be more comfortable with me on the wedding day. Also a couples shoot is more relaxed and abit more fun becuase we have more time then we will have on the wedding day. i was really excited about this shoot because it is the prettiest time of the year in joburg. all the streets are filled with purple jacaranda trees (the flowers only last 2-3 weeks and are never to be seen for another year).. can't wait for the wedding now...:) my favorite...:)
16th January 2010 This engagement was held one week before the wedding with the intention to familiarize the two families. It was a great idea and absolute fun. |
