Yolandi & Jacques, Wilderness

Yolandi & Jacques said their vows on the beach in Wilderness on a hot & overcast Saturday afternoon last weekend. 

Yolandi putting on her “shoes” … (honestly, who wears shoes on the beach? Not even the all-dressed-in-black wedding photographer wears shoes on the beach!)

Love the cigars.

I attended a workshop by Dror Eyal, hosted by Sybrand, in Cape Town last week and came back to George with a lot to think about, especially on the branding side of the business.  I really don’t think many people know how much time, blood, sweat and tears go into being a wedding photographer. We don’t just hang around at weddings for a few hours on a Saturday and then do nothing for the rest of the week.  Being a wedding photographer is FULL time job.  It’s hard work physically (ask anyone who has lugged around two camera with lenses, and an a heavy camera bag for 8 hours straight), and truth be told -  the real work actually starts after the wedding.  Anyway, I’m getting carried away here.  I really enjoyed the workshop and meeting the other Cape Town photographers.  Expect to see a few changes over the next few months.  I just have to go sit and figure out what those changes will be exactly :)
