Wedding Photography Workshop

Posted 30 Aug 2010

I’ve been doing a wedding photography workshop with the Cape Town School of Photography, taught by the amazingly talented Mark Kalkwarf. We had some lectures last week, and Saturday we had a full day shoot at Constantia Uitsig wine estate, where a whole wedding was staged, from bridal prep all the way through to a reception and cutting the cake. The weather didn’t really play along, with rain the whole morning, but it did give us gorgeous soft light from the cloudy skies. With 2 great models we had many opportunities to get great shots, these are a few of my favourites from the day.

Models: Kirsten and Besuthu
Hair and make-up: Samantha Laura Kaye

    Hi Nick,

    There are some nice shots here. My favorite is the first shot. The graininess and black and white makes it a very attractive shot. You framed her in a very interesting way.
