Jaco and Erna's wedding at La Boheme.

We did Jaco and Erna's wedding last weekend at La Boheme near Potchefstroom. It was raining and you could see the stress on Erna's face. We put her at ease by telling her not to worry, come rain or shine we are going to take beautiful pictures.

It turned out we did all the pictures in the rain. Every time I moved my camera there was water on the lens. But it made for some spectacular images.

All our equipment where wet but we got the shots.

Jaco and Erna where great, they braved the rain like champs. We had a lot of fun singing and dancing in the rain.

Here is a few images from the wedding.

Wouter and Chirine's E-Session in Potchefstroom

We did Wouter and Chirine's engagement session in Potchefstroom. We just went out to have a little fun. Wouter and Chirine was a real treat. They were up for anything I could throw at them.

I had a few challenges myself. I was almost run over by a car three times. But I have a saying: "As long as the picture is great, its worth it."

I like doing e-sessions. It lets me get to know the couple better and they get to know me better. How I work and what to expect on there wedding day. It takes a lot of uncertainty out for the couple.

At the end of a session we are almost friends with the couple. And it is much more relaxing if you're photographer is also your friend.

Here are some of the images from the session.

Suidwes Gala 2009

We covered Suidwes Landbou's Gala evening again this year. It was a grand affair full of glitz and glamour.

We did the formal pictures first as each couple entered the hall.

We also covered the prise giving witch gave me a chance to test out my new Pocket Wizards, the FlexTT 5's and the FlexTTL 1. They worked perfectly, even with the limitations of the 580EX II Speedlights created.

The noise created by the Canon 580EX II Speedlights limits the Pocket Wizard's range from the 240 meters specified in the owners manual to 10 meters.

But Pocket Wizard is already working on the problem, I am sure they will come up with a solution. They have always been known for there reliability.

Romanz was the entertainment for the evening.

Here is a few images from the evening.
