Robyn and Werner's beautiful Wedding at De Oude Welgemoed

We had the privileged of Photographing Robyn and Werner's wedding at De Oude Welgemoed on the 8th September 2012. It turned out to be a lovely sunny and warm day despite weather reports to the contrary.

We really enjoyed photographing this wedding and the love that the couple has for each other shines through in the pictures.Let us know what you think.

The Eagleton family shoot and cake smash....

We loved doing the Eagleton family shoot at the start of this month. Young Burger was about to turn 1 and so we did a Cake Smash along with the family photos. In order to do this shoot we went to their home and converted part of their lounge into a studio, complete with white backdrop and shoot-through umbrella, using a speedlight and a reflector.

At SGM Productions, Dee (my wife) and I love capturing natural moments wherever possible. We like to first set up a shot or a pose the client(s) and then just let things happen naturally after that.

Shooting with young children is a highly fluid situation and you can forget most of the carefully planned shots and scenes within the first few minutes of shooting (things never go exactly according to plan and quite frankly, we prefer it that way). Set up a shot and then just go with the flow. The best shots from this shoot just kind of happened on their own although.

We did use some "peekaboo" moments to try to get young Burger to smile sometimes, he was so serious. The Cake Smash also did not go quite as planned as Burger was more intent on trying to put the cake back together and neaten it up LOL...

At any rate great fun was had by all and I am sure that you will agree that we got some awesome shots... one thing is for sure, Burger loves bath time...
