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 has loads of potential. She was lucky enough to win a sponsored shoot with me!
Incidently I was desperately trying to find an assistant for this shoot to which no one responded! Which was strange because it was a difficult shoot in the fact that the sun was not cooperating like it usually does. I started shooting at 11am which is a very difficult time of the day to start shooting at, luckily I have many years of experience and knew exactly what to do. Coming back the strange part 🙂 an assistant would have learned so much on that day, more than you could at most workshops and seminars, for free!
That is the traditional way of learning photography, assisting an expert. So enough of that, here are the photos, enjoy!

Awesome foto’s !! As jy ooit weer in die nood is sal ek baie graag vir jou wil assisteer 🙂
This is a huge post so please be patient as it loads! My brother and I flew all the way to Germany and then drove 530km’s (4 hours by ze autobahn) to Lignano for this wedding! it was so much fun tho! My Africanized skin was super resistant to the weaker sun so I picked up a lekker tan without wearing any sunblock 🙂
Check out my brothers photos of this wedding here! They rock!
At the wedding we met two South African expats, Mr Shaun Koejawel Eater and the well known Amanda de Waal and they were literally the life of the party!
I love this shot.

Keep on inspiring.

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!

Nice Job!! I just love the picture with the Bride’s shoe! Awesome!
Hier is net n paar van die fotos van die troue, ek het besluit om die troue op my website te feature aangesien die dans fotos so awesome uitgekom het en baie mense het my al uitgevra oor n volledige stel trou fotos, so dis die naaste wat ek daaraan kan kom! Kliek gerus op een van die fotos om die gallery oop te maak op my site!
Here are a few of the photos from the wedding. I decided to feature this wedding in full on my website since the dance photos from the reception are awesome 🙂 and because several people have asked me about a complete set of wedding photos and this wedding was recently shot. Please click on the photos to link to the gallery on my site!

Hi Eric. Wil graag jou toestemming vra om hierdie fotos van Willem & Tilly by Morgansvlei op my Cape Country Weddings blog (wat volgende week gelaunch word) asook op my Fan Page te post! Dis werklik stunning. Ons fokus op troues in die platteland en bied ‘n “online guide” vir toekomstige paartjies. Ek woon en werk hier uit Tulbagh en bewonder hoe mooi jy ons dorp vasgevang het! Well done, blessings
