We took this weekend off and found some enlightenment in Hogsback!
While scouting Hogsback in the Eastern Cape (about 90 minutes from East London) for locations for an upcoming wedding in September we found some unlikely inspiration and some food for thought.
Engagement shoots are a great way of celebrating your choice of spending your life together with the person you love. Engagement shoots should be fun, spontaneous and creative. They should also reflect the couple’s unique personalities.
Normally they will also be used in your wedding invitations; guest book etc. so they should also incorporated the same theme you will be using at your wedding. A lot of thought should be put into making these photos memorable, so make sure you know exactly what you want before you stand in front of the camera.
The rest of this guide will help you make some of these important decisions once you get ready to have your engagement photos taken so that you’ll end up with the type of creative and unique pictures that will reflect the awesome relationship that you have with your future husband or wife.
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.”
What is it about Wedding Photography in general that makes us want to do it again and again and again? I am pondering this question after reading another photographer’s advert, which states that the most satisfying part of being a wedding photographer to him/her is when the couple view their album for the first time and have joy on their faces. I guess that for every professional person the satisfaction of doing a job well ranks very high, but WHY do WE do it?
With the huge amount of global interest in the seriousness in global warming, engaged couples are also now starting to look at ways of making their special day more environmentally friendly. The question is however, how do you make sure that your special day leaves a smaller carbon footprint?
Michelle has gone to some trouble finding the following tips on the internet. I now they are not necessarily photography related, but we are also looking into how to make what we do as wedding photographers, even more GREEN.
