Du Wayne Denton Workshop

I recently attended a workshop, presented by the very talented wedding photographer, Du Wayne Denton. It was held at Webersburg and we truly had the best weather. The true colours and sunlight of autumn worked perfect with the setting for the couple and bridal shoot we had the first day. Both days we  were treated with a 3 course meal ... absolutely stunning food! We did not only learn a lot about how to take better photographs, working with available light, how to manage work flow and loads, loads more. We also made fantastic new friends. It was such a pleasure meeting all of you!

Here's a few photographs taken during our model en bridal shoot.



Ten on Tuesday - May Edition

1. What is your favorite kind of cheese?
This is a very hard question. I really love all cheese. The only cheese I like less, is blue cheese. I must say that Camembert and Feta are probably my favorite.

2. Do you prefer fudge with or without nuts?
Without. To be honest, I’m not that big of a fudge eater.

3. How do you feel about cats?
I’ve learnt to get on with them but I still don’t really want to own one. I do hate how they ruin your furniture in terms of scratching and the fur they leave behind.

4. Meg Ryan or Julia Roberts?
I like them both. They way Meg left her ex-husband and how she injected her lips (and now looks totally weird) made me like her less but acting-wise, she’s okay.

5. Do you wear a watch?
Yes, I do. It’s not an expensive one. But I really can’t live without it. I’m quite an ‘on-time’ kind of person. Most of the time early.

6. What are a few of your favorite songs from the 90′s?
I was around 7 – 17 years of age in the 90’s. So the Spice Girls tunes made their turn and I loved it. Oh and Backstreet Boys, who can forget those pretty boys. Alanis was also in the mix. And Roxette left an everlasting impact! They toured South Africa in this month of May and I finally had the privilege to attend one of their 4 concerts in Cape Town. Totally AWESOME!!

7. Do you like scented candles?
No, not really. I tend to start sneezing and later develop a headache. So I prefer them rather non-scented.

8. What do you like on your hamburger?
When it comes to my burgers, I’m quite boring and I really do not like to much stuff on the burger. It usually fall apart and don’t like my plate disorganized. (You can tell that I’m a perfectionist, hu?) I always find myself ordering the same kind of burger every time. But the normal toppings goes in the line of mushrooms & caramelized onions, or mushroom & pepper sauce. I really like my sauces (and find it hard to cut-out in my diet) so most of the time I settle for the sauce option. For the best burgers in Cape Town, visit Royale Eatery. They're the BEST!!

9. How often do you cut your fingernails?
Once every two weeks. They grow so fast. And I can’t wear them to long because they break all the time!

10. Do you sleep in socks?
Only in winter if it’s really cold.
