We will be hosting a Havana night relaunch and social networking event at Pont de Val and would like to capture every moment of it. Despite the event being from 15:00 to 22:00, we would love some behind-the-scenes shots as well, so a photographer will be needed from 14:00. Additionally, we will have a photo booth, and a talent showcase and people will speak at the event. Furthermore, we will have an auction/exhibition, and we would like to have pictures of that as well. To ensure that the entire event is covered, it would be ideal to have two photographers and one videographer.

  • Where do you want the photos to be taken?: Home

My oldest daughter is emigrating on 8 Feb with her husband and 3 children, ranging 10 months and 7 years. We are in the process of arranging a get together at Evergreen Bergvliet for 5 Feb, but time of day has not yer been established. There will be at least an additional 4 adults and possibly 6. There will not be another opportunity - the as-yet-unapproached 2 adults would be flying from Jhb for the weekend. Given that the idea is under wraps at the moment, I'm sure you will appreciate that coordinating a time this far in advance is fraught with delays, and I would therefore not be able to commit to a booking until closer to the time. Perhaps a starting point would be to put out feelers for 5 Feb. I assume that this will put me in a position where I have some idea of current availability and cost, and can answer Question 1 - "Do I pursue this idea?" We will certainly not be able to afford a session of longer that an hour. If 30 min is an option please include that too. Thanks for reading

We're planning a private wedding n sea-point beach. It will be a short and sweet ceremony with just us, the pastor, the photographer and maybe someone from the events company to pack up the props after we are done. We are from Johannesburg. We want to get married late afternoon so we have day-light photos and sunset photos. We have no guests, in fact we are just eloping and getting married so the photos need to tell a story of romance and adventure......no pressure!
