A South African wedding
By nealejames | March 29, 2007
I think it would be fair to say that we get to know the couples we photograph at weddings fairly well - and that’s advantageous. As photographers, our professional task is to document an extremely personal and intimate event. Knowing our couples then, is an essential ingredient for the successful execution of such an important commission. I think it would also be fair to say that there’s a healthy dose of nerves when we approach the dawn of a wedding day as photographers. And that, is equally essential. It keeps us on our creative toes, because this is one day you can’t repeat! As we fly off to South Africa to photograph two people who have become very close and dear friends, the ‘one off’ concept has never been more palpable. Good luck Graham, lots of love Karen - for what will be a very special wedding. Thanks for the opportunity.
