Operating from Bloemfontein, we do wedding still photography at any place in South Africa and surrounding countries. We do not provide video/DVD photography.
Please visit the menu item "Photo gallery" to see my wedding photo album
Please note: there are hundreds of part time
photographers trying to make money from weddings. They offer very low prices.
Before you decide to use one of them, please do the following to make sure you
will get high quality photographs:
1. Ask to see all photographs of one complete wedding. Many photographers show only an
album of their best photos to try and impress you.
2. Ask the photographer if he/she make use of a separate flash mounted on top of
the camera. The on-camera flash does not have the reach needed to take all the
required photos.
3. Ask whether the photographer has an extra camera, flash and lenses as backup. If not, you will have no wedding photographs if the equipment fails.
4. Ask whether the photos will be printed on an inkjet printer. Most modern inkjet printers will produce excellent photos, but only a few will produce prints that will last a lifetime. Nearly all dye-based inkjet prints (and also colour laser prints) will start fading after a few months.
At the moment, inkjet printers with pigmented inks using special additives (for example Epson’s Ultrachrome inks) will give the best results that last the same time as traditional photographs.
5. A camera does not take a great picture any more than a typewriter writes a great novel. It is the skills of the photographer that ensures excellent photographs and not the quality of their equipment. Do not entrust those precious memories which can not be re-taken at a later stage to anyone.
