A Wedding Workshop at Forum Homini

I learnt so much, and got to spend some time chatting to photographers that I’ve only chatted to...

Those first two shots, AMAZING!

Corey~ living and loving (155 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 (5 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 (117 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 (39 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

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

Beautiful.. really beautiful! Love the ones from last post – oh wow – what a breathtaking dress!! Captured the pre-wedding and wedding perfectly!! and what a stunning bride! Handsome couple!

Really lovely relaxed after-wedding photos .. perfect!
I too, like the orange lately at weddings, contrasts so well with the white. Orange is also supposed to be spiritual with lots of meaning (according to my yoga instructor!)

Well done, my girl – job very well done !!!
Can’t wait to see more … !!

Kathy - February 6, 2010 - 11:14 am
