We’ve ceased following trends and do our utmost to set them. Having said that, we are thrilled to engage clients who think for themselves and are confident about their true essence – even if they don’t realise it at first. Many couples approach the first consultation a little unsure of where this may take them, but under our nurturing care they soon become comfortable with the banter that bounces between myself and the creative team. They are then able to say YES, I love that idea or NO, you’re not hitting the spot we need to see more. And those are our rules of engagement really – “be who you are and say what you feel”. It’s so simple. It fuels our fire and gets our energy levels going!
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.
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.
Read MoreGiving 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.
It has been a real pleasure watching Hannes (RE.INVENT I) go from 0-100 in 60 sec over the last six months. Congrats, we love the new look and the new attitude.
Spotted this one from the super talented Jeanette Verster (RE.INVENT I) – check out some other serious footage from the day on her blog.
