Thinking back to the times before photography was born, when masters like Van Gogh had to sit, watch and observe to get their work onto canvas. Now we press a button but there is still magic in doing a long exposure photo, it feels more real, like you are creating it.. Really wish I had […]
M & M wedding from Eric Uys on Vimeo. I secretly shot a video of their wedding, just to play around with editing and the Canon 550D’s video quality/functions. View it on vimeo.com for slightly better quality.
The lovely couple had their entire wedding party at the Lagoon Beach Hotel overlooking Table Mountain and Cape Town. It was a wind chilled day but nothing went wrong and everyone had a blast!
Love die shpt met die seuntjie wat gesig trek vir die kamera!
Well done – great moments captured!
Brilliant Eric 😉
Hi Eric, nice work man.
Way to go Eric! Great selection of work!
Wow thanks Jan!
Great shots, Eric, with beautiful use of light. Mood well captured, story well told!!
These photographs are just breathtaking! Although I do not know the couple, I was there and you have truly captured every special moment exactly as it was, special! What an amazing reflection of a beautiful couple and wedding.
Thanks Lauren and thank you Emil for that insightful comment, that is exactly what I was going for! 10/10 🙂
Eric, I really like your work! Apart from lovely light, intelligent use of depth of field, colour relevant to the shot, as far as I’m concerned, you’ve also captured the mood, the visceral feeling of the shot beautifully. You are an artist.
great shots. i love the one of the bride coming through the door and your reflection in the window
Mia is a very good friend of mine and she used to assist me a couple of years ago, so I was very happy to be able to shoot her day of marital bliss to Mario and engagement session! Die trou fotos is oppad Mev. Diesel!! 😉 Geniet solank hierdie!

To the people of planet earth, and other beings of light who frequent my blog, thank you for doing so! I thought I would blog about a recent fashion shoot I did, show you some work from my first principle. This girl is new to the modeling industry, still very young but I think she […]

What an honour to have the two Uys brothers shooting your wedding!! 🙂
You guys are an inspiration, and like Marlene said, you really captured the spirit or feeling of that joyous day.
Keep on inspiring.
Looks fabulous!!! Well done on capturing all the emotion Eric.
Wow!! I am in tears all over again! Thanks for sharing Eric. If pictures ever tell a story…well this is the one of the most incredibly fun times I ever had the honour to share with my incredible friend Debbie…and offcourse Shaun Koejawel Eater from London town! Love, Love, Light and Laughter!…and then some RockaRolla! xx

I really felt as if I was part of this joyous occasion. Not many photographers can do this!! Well done and keep on doing what you love to do

Eric these photo’s are fantastic! you have captured all the moments and emotions in such a fun, documentary style. Well done!!!
Ag baie dankie vir al die liefde 🙂 my permantige kamera bloos al 🙂
Annie, dankie ek dink die detail op die tafel is ook n nuwe approach, neem dit af NADAT die mense in die saal ingegaan het!
Hi Eric, Tobie en Sandra se fotos is asemrowend mooi. Well done!!
Sjoe stunning fotos Eric – Baie geluk. My favourite is die een van Sandra wat in die kar sit en haar tweelingsus se weerkaatsing in die venster… En natuurlik die manne met die kerkie in die agtergrond, asook die stofwolk bo die kerk!!! Die tafeldetail het ook besonder mooi uitgekom…! Dit nie eers die aand so in detail opgelet nie.. Stunning!
We are the couple that only arrived late in the evening and now I can see that we missed a fabulous wedding. Never mind the saying of getting to the chruch on time, rather, get to the airport on time!
ek het n link op my website gesit na jou toe – http://www.navitas.co.za/ToobLippe/2010/07/22/tooblippes-wedding-photos/#content
Nee wat Eric, ek dink dit is daardie lensie van jou. En daardie permantige hoedtjie wat jy aantrek.
Haha, ja Tobie julle is n klomp mooi mense! Sandra het vir my die nommers gestuur so ek kan begin werk aan julle boek 🙂
Dankie Jani!
Wynand ek skiet met Nikon D3 en Canon 5D, maar 90% Nikon.
Hel Eric, maar ons is mooi mense. Of is dit daai parmantige kamera vasn jou wat dit doen.
Love the shot of the chapel and the sun filtering through!
Hi Eric nice fotos,watter kamera gebruik jy.
Groette Wynand
Fantastic work as always, love the paparazzi shot!
Awesome work! Stunning shot of the dress and shoe details and church with cloud of dust!

Eric - Thanks! Yes I have experience with video but none that includes hand holding without an image stabilizer, shooting with an 85 and 160mm lens angle of view is tricky. It sure is a great camera for the price!
Pearl Hair Slides - Have you got previous experience with recording video or has it mostly been photography in the past? A great video by the way considering you were just playing around!
The 550D seems pretty popular. It’s almost always the video camera I hear being used when I see recordings online.
