Junebug South Africa and the Worlds Best Wedding Photographers List now Includes Me!! :)

It has been an exciting last couple of months, besides having the World Cup here in South Africa, and having some nice cool refreshing weather, my studio has been so busy, and all of a sudden I seem to be getting a lot of attention…And Its kind of overwhelming.  This month weddings I shot were featured in Top Billing (Rob and Lauren), Destiny Magazine (Andreas and Janine) and next month or in the next edition of My Day (Jaco and Lojanka) will be featured.

I would guess the biggest news or the coolest of it all would be making it on to the Junebug World Best Wedding Photographers list.  Junebug is kind of the like the unofficial/Official portal for the leading wedding trends and photographers list based in the USA.  Pretty much every bride to be globally visits the site to get inspiration and to plan their day.

Although I totally feel there are many photographers globally and nationally that deserve to be on the site im totally honoured and proud to be in this list with world famous photographers like Jerry Ghionis and Yervant to name a few.  My good friends Jean-Pierre Uys, Eric Uys and Christine Meintjies are the only other South African photographers to be on this list.  Where is amazing Dror Eyal?  Anyway, I don’t want to sound to full of myself, however IM proud that I am now listed on the Junebug Best Wedding Photographers Worldwide list.

The other super exciting news for me is that I am about to launch a brand new website that will replace all my current websites.  It should be online in early August, and I will send out a newsletter to all to let them know that it is “ALIVE”.  The site will be very interactive and more of a portal for easy and extensive navigation.  SO come back soon to check it out.

All future photoshoots will be on the new site, but in the meanwhile our studios are open and I still have some availability and am taking bookings for March – May in Cape Town.

Peace!

Paulus and Chanel (Portraits) Cape Town, and Tamboerskloof.

Check out the rest of this shoot with Paulus and Chanel….CLICK HERE.

Chanel and Paulus are to be married in October 2010 in Darling (an awesome area for a wedding). Recently we got together to do their pre wedding shoot that I do with all my wedding bookings. It was lots of fun and we had great weather. In fact this winter so far has been awesome, not too much rain and the days are generally pleasant. Im sure there are a few of you out there who would beg to disagree and say it has been cold, but coming from Canada we think its a nice day if its above 0C…When I was a kid at school, and the day would go from -10C to 0C the next day all the kids would be running around in tshirts like it was the middle of summer. Well, you can imaging my shock when moving to Cape Town to find people dressed like they are in the arctic and its like 14C….Madness all around!!

Anyway, these two were a pleasure to work with and besides being a good looking and fun couple they are also both doctors!! Impressive. I mentioned to Paulus that Im currently doing my pilots license training and he mentioned he wants to do it too. Paulus!! In the words of “Nike in the 80s”….JUST DO IT!

Philip and Lauren (wedding) The Marine, Hermanus.

VIEW ALL OF THE IMAGES FROM PHILIP AND LAURENS WEDDING COLLECTION CLICK HERE!!

Philip and Lauren were married at the 5 Star Relaix and Chateaux “The Marine” in Hermanus. Awesome venue and totally recommend the hotel and area for a wedding. I dont get that many weddings in Hermanus so it is always nice to shoot there.

Philip and Lauren are from Jozie but decided rather than get married in the hustle and bustle of the big whistle stop, they would do it in style in the most beautiful place in the world!! WEST COAST BABY!!:)

Anyway the wedding rocked, was tons of fun, loads of people down from up north, and the decor, food, and venue added to the incredible atmosphere. I have two more weddings to post from this past season, and then finally will update my portfolio website and its almost time to start prepping for next season. NO REST FOR THE WICKED!

Rob and Lauren Wedding in Top BIlling this Month!! (Weddings)

A few months back I was fortunate enough to capture the spectacular wedding of Rob and Lauren. The wedding was really one to remember, and this month it is featured for Wedding of the Month for Julys edition of Top Billing.  So obviously go at top speed to your nearest outlet selling the mag and buy as many copies that your bank account affords!!
