Wedding Photography at Forum Homini Part 2

I can’t resist posting a few more of the workshop photos I took at Forum Homini.  I’ve been editing more of them, in order to choose my favourites to submit for review by Dror and Andrea, and found more gems in the process.

I also thought I’d show you some shots of the other photogs that...

It looks like an awesome day. Musta taken quite a bit of coordinating to let all the photogs have a turn!

A Wedding Workshop at Forum Homini

I attended the RE.Invent workshop that was held in the gorgeous surroundings of Forum Homini, in the Cradle of Humankind, today.  The wedding photography workshop was held by Dror Eyal and Andrea Carlysle, and it was amazing! I learnt so much, and got to spend some time chatting to photographers that I’ve only chatted to...

Liezel (7 comments.) - February 26, 2010 - 7:52 am

Those first two shots, AMAZING!

Corey~ living and loving (152 comments.) - February 25, 2010 - 11:23 pm

these just blow my mind. they make me want to let myself take on such projects, but I just don’t feel I have the time to give.

Domestic Extraordinaire (37 comments.) - February 25, 2010 - 11:13 pm

these are breath taking. Great shots!

Corinaho (1 comments.) - February 25, 2010 - 9:48 pm

I am shooting my first wedding this summer. I only hope that they come out half as good as these photos. Stunning.

Madi (1 comments.) - February 25, 2010 - 9:33 am

Love the last one. Like the fact that the bride changed her hair for different shots

Phil Mitchell - February 25, 2010 - 5:53 am

Gen is my daughter and I really love the photos you have taken.
Well done – she looks beautiful and Greg, as always, is with her in everything she does.
Best of luck from a very proud Dad.

Debbie Votin - February 24, 2010 - 11:07 pm

Have to agree with someone else’s comment on your logo – i liked the other one better. This one too busy.

Debbie Votin - February 24, 2010 - 11:05 pm

These are awesome!!!!!!! Stunning seriously you are just getting better and better girl – go Jenty!!!!

Cheryl - February 24, 2010 - 6:45 pm

Lone Pix (1 comments.) - February 24, 2010 - 5:29 pm

I always would have wanted to be shot in my wedding photos just like and exactly the way Jeannette captures.

Gena @ Thinking Aloud (4 comments.) - February 24, 2010 - 5:08 pm

Oh yes, it will be difficult I love the stone wall ones – I love texture like that. But all beautiful.

Mitchell Wong Ho (3 comments.) - February 24, 2010 - 2:08 pm

Love the dramatic sky in #1. I’m sure you learned a lot =)

Stella (2 comments.) - February 24, 2010 - 1:14 pm

It was lovely meeting you and they came out stunning! Love the first “make it darker” shot and the veil ones :)

Angel (114 comments.) - February 24, 2010 - 9:57 am

They’re fantastic Jeanette!!

Jackie K - February 24, 2010 - 9:17 am

Wish you were around when I got married!
Simply stunning.
Shot number 10 is my fav.

Girish (37 comments.) - February 24, 2010 - 9:06 am

Too good :)

I still feel I like your earlier logo. The flower isn’t looking that nice.

ah yeh it’s going to tough to pick 5 shots.

The third last shot is pretty similar to a a bit old bollwood shot where the actress in the lead role poses someways similarly. The fabric in her hand would be generally a ‘dupatta’.

Take care.

Firefly (250 comments.) - February 24, 2010 - 8:54 am

Simply stunning shots… as expected of you

Mandy (15 comments.) - February 24, 2010 - 8:48 am

Was great meeting you, and you were right the veil one was the shot of the day stunning.. haven’t had a chance to check my shots if they anything like yours wow…

Sally-Jane (9 comments.) - February 24, 2010 - 8:24 am

Almost makes me want to get married again, beautiful

AndreaC - February 24, 2010 - 6:12 am

You have definately picked up the “Droresque” style in the first two. Nice and Dark ;-) . You got some awesome shots. My personal favourite has to be the second last one – the one you showed me oncamera, I think…absolutely breathtaking …wish it was mine!

Michelle - February 24, 2010 - 3:17 am

WackyMummy (22 comments.) - February 24, 2010 - 2:12 am

Trash the Dress in Newtown with Fiona

Blue door

It was actually great having two people for our Newtown Trash the Dress photoshoot with 2 very different styles of dresses, as it allowed me to take very different photos in the same setting.  Here are my favourite photos of Fiona from the afternoon.

This was the closest that we got to having a “groom”

And that’s...

Trash the Dress in Newtown with Sue

The stone man

Yesterday I posted a few photos of Sue and Fiona, from the Trash the Dress photoshoot we did in Newtown, and now the focus is on Sue alone.  Sue was actually supposed to join us on the first TTD session we did a few months ago, but couldn’t make the date in the end, but...

wendy - September 24, 2009 - 12:17 am

Hi,
Nice pictures…
Maybe she wants to sell her trashed dress to me.
Please let her know I’m interested..

Wendy

Firefly (1 comments.) - September 22, 2009 - 11:29 am

Both sets are stunning. I have never been to Newtown, but it seems like a stunning backdrop for photo sessions with any kind of models. Although I imagine that you will have to go there on a Sunday when there isn’t loads of traffic and people around.

Gilz (158 comments.) - September 22, 2009 - 11:18 am

Right! So my goal is to get into my wedding dress by December and do a TTD with you.!!!

Cheryl - September 22, 2009 - 10:27 am

What more can I say. You got talent!!! Great great photo’s once again!

Janet B - September 22, 2009 - 9:46 am

What a lot of fun!!

desi (67 comments.) - September 22, 2009 - 8:00 am

Angel (114 comments.) - September 22, 2009 - 7:56 am

Avril (Mom) (272 comments.) - September 22, 2009 - 7:39 am

Love these – specially the contrasting colours of the blue and red. Last one made be smile .. you can almost hear her laugh! (its an amazing mural!)

Trash the Dress in Newtown – just the two of them

Friends laughing

I met a whole load of friends in Newtown on Sunday afternoon for a Trash-the-Dress (or Day-After or un-bridal) photo session with 2 fabulous women who got married a few years ago and wanted to wear their dresses again.
It was loads of fun wandering through the streets of Johannesburg with 2 other photographers (who are...

Fiona - September 21, 2009 - 8:34 pm

It was LOTS of fun!!! I can’t wait to see the rest of your pics Jeanette. I was only going to start with mine later this week but I just couldn’t wait so I’m doing some tonight :)

Kim (74 comments.) - September 21, 2009 - 6:12 pm

Avril (Mom) (272 comments.) - September 21, 2009 - 1:38 pm

I definitely can’t fit into mine!!! Such fun!! Good for those security guards, keeping an eye on you all. Carrying cameras around makes you ‘easy pickings’!

Janet B - September 21, 2009 - 12:01 pm

LOL! What fun! Don’t think I’d still fit into mine! :)

Angel (114 comments.) - September 21, 2009 - 11:58 am
