Things to ask a wedding client

July 30, 2010  |  quote  |  No Comments

It’s important to remember that wedding photography is a business, and there are times when you probably shouldn’t take an assignment. If the match isn’t right, and/or if it’s simply going to take more of your time and energy than it’s worth, it’s usually a good business decision to turn it down.

RE.INVENT II

July 6, 2010  |  Featured, Johannesburg, RE.INVENT, workshop  |  5 comments

It is that time of the year again. RE.INVENT II, the same photographic goodness and info from two photographers who have taken wedding photography, given it a good shake and developed unique styles of photography that have seen them shooting weddings throughout southern Africa. It is a glimpse into how they work, how they see, what they look for, and how they developed their very unique styles, but this time we have beefed it up with some serious marketing and branding information.

Unmissable. You will leave the workshop with the skills to be able to walk into any venue, identify amazing locations, be able to manage whatever light is being thrown at you and create a masterpiece.

Giving the couple two books

July 5, 2010  |  quote  |  No Comments

Giving a couple to look at one book annoys them both. People look at books at different speeds. The bride wants to take forever, and she doesn’t want to really look at your work, she wants to look at what OTHER brides did (“hmmm…weird dresses…”). And the groom just wants to go home.
