WELCOME TO MY BLOG!

(Before you go further, if you do no have a lot of time to peruse through my extensive wedding blog please go directly to my portfolio to look at my work - WEDDING PORTFOLIO.)

Eric is one of the leading authorities on wedding photography in South Africa and a true pioneer in his field. He has traveled internationally for assignments, won awards and is a Profoto Brand Ambassador which is quite the honor. Constantly striving to better himself and improve his art, Eric is always fine tuning and enriching his knowledge and believes that the day you stop learning is the day you become mediocre. This year, Eric is celebrating his 10th year as a professional photographer.

The art of capturing time, making beautiful images from fleeting moments, and turning them into vivid memories, is very unique and rare these days. Unlike a studio setup, at a wedding it is my job to capture your joy, your wedding day as it unfolds. Every second counts, there is no second chance and it is my job to make sure that every special moment is taken care of. Your wedding day celebration should be just that, a celebration of your love and sharing it with loved ones! You, as the couple, are the stars. My philosophy is simple, enjoy your very special day and forget about all else. Your wedding day will be captured with style and your pictures will become your love story, told beyond words.

(I am available for destination wedding photography all over South Africa, including Johannesburg, Durban, Port Elizabeth etc as well as assignments across the world.)

A good reminder of what we have

The strange and complicated irony of life. So today I was feeling good on my way to a Pick-n-Pay I saw a beggar sitting against the wall, white guy, nothing unusual nowadays, and I always feel sorry for them, although I wont show it and will chase them away, today I found myself feeling very empathic, so I decided to buy him some food to give to him when I come out and wouldnt you know, when I got outside he was gone!

I even went looking for him but could’nt find him and I felt sad, knowing how he must feel, not allowed inside the Pick-n-Pay, resentment, bitterness and sadness and here comes a stranger wanting to help but he missed that opportunity, or maybe I missed it, maybe it was my lesson, I don’t know yet but I still feel bad.

Although I have helped so many people like this before and in other ways I never tell anyone about it. Like I’ve never told anyone that I shoot at least one wedding a year completely pro bono! This year I feel like I might just surprise someone with that news, hopefully they will be getting married somewhere very exotic! Hawaii, New York, Tokyo, Paris, Maldives and Rome comes to mindThis previous post come to mind.
