Adina had her Batmitzvah last night at the Capri Hotel in Savoy, Johannesburg; and it was quite a bash! Her mom booked me for this evening months ago, and in the build-up to it, I also did a portrait session with her and her family and produced a photobook which was used as a guest...
I love your photos Janette!

Such a beautiful collection of this party. =)
Oh, such fabulous, vibrant shots!
I adore the dancing, and the raising her up on the chair. Great!
those are AMAZING shots.
The first two just took my breath away with their colors and snap and DOF.
I love the one of her in the chair! They are all fantastic!
I love these shots….
The photo of Adina and her friend doing the Tango is so beautiful!
They are all such great photos but that one really speaks to me 
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...

Still like the one with the veil – soft pretty colours .. and happy!!
Oh that first one must be my favorite of your whole shoot!
Oh, I love these, Jeanette! You really have a great eye for composition!
WOW wish I’d been there. Fabulous shots Sue. I love the one where the veil is floating in the air. It’s fabulous
It looks like an awesome day. Musta taken quite a bit of coordinating to let all the photogs have a turn!
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...

Very nice set of photos! No7 & 18 my favourite
The second pic is my favourite!
Those first two shots, AMAZING!
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.
these are breath taking. Great shots!
I am shooting my first wedding this summer. I only hope that they come out half as good as these photos. Stunning.
Love the last one. Like the fact that the bride changed her hair for different shots
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.
Have to agree with someone else’s comment on your logo – i liked the other one better. This one too busy.
These are awesome!!!!!!! Stunning seriously you are just getting better and better girl – go Jenty!!!!
Absolutely stunning photo’s.
I always would have wanted to be shot in my wedding photos just like and exactly the way Jeannette captures.
Hi Jeanette! just found you through a search I was doing on photographers rights in public spaces on Paul’s blog …. linked through to you.

Oh yes, it will be difficult I love the stone wall ones – I love texture like that. But all beautiful.
Love the dramatic sky in #1. I’m sure you learned a lot =)
It was lovely meeting you and they came out stunning! Love the first “make it darker” shot and the veil ones
They’re fantastic Jeanette!!
Wish you were around when I got married!
Simply stunning.
Shot number 10 is my fav.
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.
Simply stunning shots… as expected of you
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…
Almost makes me want to get married again, beautiful
WOW J, these are awesome! I absolutely love them.
all gorgeous!
i love the colours in the last few… the blue-ish sky with pinky clouds… so beautiful!!
Perfect! Just perfect!
Oh wow !! Breathtaking!!
Absolutely lovely!!!!
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!
stunning shots.
Very nicely done! I envy you that opportunity to play around with the camera. Great work. =)
Beautiful sky in all those shots.
Stunning!
OH MY WORD!!!! These are AWESOME!!!!
These are really awesome!! That sky in the first one is magnificent!
Fantastic photo’s!!!

I’ve just come home from a strategy weekend at Kloofzicht Hotel, in Muldersdrift; and although I didn’t have very much time to myself, I managed to catch the sunset last night, and then I woke up early (which was a huge feat considering the time I got to sleep) to get photos of the sun...
