Blue Lagoon Bridal Fair

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

On the beach after sunset If you’re old enough to have watched the movie, The Blue Lagoon (1980) with Brooke Shields and Christopher Atkins, then you’re probably not part of the current generation of young couples planning their wedding. In fact, your were probably born before 1980! It was a movie about discovering life through love. A couple of children stranded on an island, growing up together, falling in love and then braving the challenges of their surroundings together.

Tanya and Shaheed This week is all about planning for a bridal fair at the Blue Lagoon Hotel in East London (3 July 2010). Although the hotel has nothing in common with the movie, except the name, beautiful scenery and the lagoon – the beginning of many couples’ lives will start here as husband and wife.

We invite all couples planning their weddings to join us for a cup of coffee and to chat with us about their wedding photos.  The fair starts at 10am and finish at 4:30pm.  Feel free to ask us about General advice for your wedding as we would love you to have a great time on your big day (it makes our job so much easier)!

As a special offer, all couples booking their packages during the bridal fair will receive a 10% discount on our pricing for 2010/11. Do not miss out!  We will also be running a competition!  One lucky couple who book with us, will receive a wedding photography package worth R3900.

We wish all couples starting out their lives together during this following year, a happy and strong marriage. Love each other and above all, be best friends…

Regards

Marius and Michelle

Tanya and Shaheed at the Blue Lagoon

We’re in the business of capturing and showing true love with our images. Tanya and Shaheed once again made our work a breeze. Challenging us was the fact that the portrait photos had to be taken after sunset on the beach! After the sun kissed us goodbye with it’s last rays on the horizon, high ISO, large apertures and slow shutter speeds were at the order of the day. We had lots of fun at this beautiful couple’s wedding, and the honesty of their emotions captured our imagination.

The Challenge…

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

I read the following on a blog post by Dror Eyal:

“I just wanted to say that wedding photography is hard and its even harder when everything is wet and muddy and you’re cold and worried about your super expensive equipment, but sometimes you capture a moment which is just about two people being in love, and the rain and the possibly damaged equipment and everything else gets forgotten.”
