Wedding: Jean and Marlie

Bernard — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 08:13:48 +0000

I took a trip down memory-lane, second-shooting for Sybrand again earlier this month. Every wedding is special in its own right, but obviously this one stood out just a little! While Sybrand took photos of Marlie as the girls were getting ready, I spent some time with the guys. I enjoyed the afternoon SO much, and thought the photos deserved some posting!

Jacques and Hyunjoo had a lovely winter wedding on Saturday, July 31st. They got married at one of my favourite venues – Kleinevalleij.

Grethe was my assistant/second-shooter for the day.

It’s nearly 2am and I just finished backing up today’s wedding. Thought I’d share some of it.

Hiatus

Bernard — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 15:42:48 +0000

I’ve been getting a lot of queries as to the current break in content on the blog. Like most wedding “studios”, I too have been on a bit of an hiatus before the new season. That doesn’t mean that I haven’t been shooting, though.

These are just the highlights of work I’ve completed lately. I’ll try and caption/explain where applicable!

I did some more work for the University after I posted the previous entry.

This photo actually formed part of a session that I did for friends right after buying my Canon 1D mark3 in December last year.

I’ve also been doing more corporate work. Mostly portraiture, with some group shots too.

I’ve also been doing a lot of family portraiture. Mostly as favours to friends and family, though.

Grethe and I also went to go see the France / Uruguay game here in Cape Town!

Grethe and I also went to Robben Eiland with some new Dutch friends.

And one of us, courtesy of Marjolein!

Portraits: Stellenbosch University

Bernard — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 12:12:17 +0000

I’ve been doing some portrait work for the University lately, and I decided to post some of my favourites from the assignments. It was such an exciting experience for me to be part of; meeting so many different people and learning so much about what people are researching and teaching in and around Stellenbosch.
