HI THERE!It is great to hear that you are planning on getting married – congratulations! We are always very excited to hear from couples who are in the process of finding their suppliers for their special day, and we truly hope that we will be there to share your very special day with you.

This is our little introductory magazine – where we introduce ourselves to you and give you a little sneek peek into both our personal and our professional lives. We also share some titbits that may help you when you plan your wedding and choose your service providers.

Getting married is SERIOUS, but do not forget the fun part – getting married is SERIOUS FUN. And we love sharing in that – the fun and the excitement of seeing it all come together, the tears of joy, the laughter, the hugs and the kisses. The pretty styling, the friends, the family, the dashing boys, the pretty girls and the super stunning bride. What a story! And what an honour to be able to tell this story through one of our main passions in life: wedding photography.

We truly hope that you enjoy what we have put together in these pages – put it on your ipad, laptop or print it out, take your time reading, take your time looking, share with your family and friends – and please feel free to ask us if you need more information, help or just some advice.

With much love,

Carolien and Ben.

ABOUT USWe are Carolien and Ben. We have a cute little house, with a piece of paper somewhere that has plans for making it bigger - for the soccer team that we want to adopt. We have two Great Danes, Josephine(Jozi, Fina, Bear), Tequila (Lili, Petools, Petili) and two miniature Daschunds – Zoe (just Zoe) and Addi(Addi-paddi). Our house is filled with random and eclectic things. Too many books(Ben is a super book-worm), with too much china(Carolien is a bit of an addict). We are always at wit’s end with space – we never seem to have enough, and even though we have sessions where we try to get more space – we are sure that you know what we are talking about, we never seem to have enough empti-ness to go around.

We love life!

CAROLIEN & BEN PHOTOGRAPHY

120 weddings together and counting!

Where did it all start? Carolien remembers that she always thought photographers were cool. She then ended up being an assistant to one in her matric year – and enjoyed it very much. Carolien still remembers these years with fond memories, and we believe that a lot of the foundations of the photographer that she is today was laid there.

Ben always, even before meeting her, thought that Carolien was cool. He ended up assisting her, and enjoyed it very much... Ben enjoys creating fond memories with Carolien, and believes that many of the foundations of his photography skills were laid by working with Carolien.

We LOVE doing weddings together, and we believe that we are a super team!

We use Canon cameras and Lenses, and no, we do not have specific issues with Nikon, we just love Canon’s colour! We are full manual photographers, which means we tell the camera everything it needs to do – it gives us a creative edge and we believe that this gives us the most control over what we do.

We have a full backup system for our cameras etc in the unlikely case of anything deciding to malfunction – so you may relax and enjoy your day!

Making backups of your photographs is also a top priority. The morning after the wedding will see your photos in three different locations, and the day after that in four different locations, on four different backup systems.

WHAT INSPIRES USPrettiness, in all it ’s different forms. That is one of the reasons for our love affair with weddings. Carolien is a Pinterest junkie, and she is very proud of the amount of time that she can spend on Pinterest without taking a single break.

Part of our passion for prettiness is also channeled to our wedding specific inspiration boards on Pinterest. This is where you can go for inspiration – maybe you find something there that helps you with your planning and all the difficult deci-sions that you have to make!

If you go to our blog you will find links to other blogs and places that inspires us, and also to the blogs and magazines that have already featured us.

We have extensive experience in the wedding industry – and we are always willing to help anyone who needs some advice and inspiration!

OUR LABOUR OF LOVESo, you only work weekends, right?

This is something that we very often hear. It is, to say the least, not true!

A wedding, from beginning to end, takes about 50 hours of work. That is a lot of time, and a lot of work!

Photographing and editing a wedding is an intensive project, a work of art, that requires a lot of love and attention. From meetings, to emails, to administration, to arriving on the day, going home, making backups, making a selection, making decisions about editing, packaging, printing and so on and so forth – all of this goes into a wedding to make sure that you get a product that is as unique and as special as your day truly was. It is a labour of love, and a very rewarding one at that.

Our extensive experience, gained over the last few years, also enables us to capture the very unique essence of what makes your day what it truly is. This starts even before the wedding day, when we prepare for the work that we need to do on your day, with us compiling mood boards, meeting you a week or so before the wedding just to go over every-thing again, and with us generally doing research in order for us to be as prepared as we can possibly be for your day.

To us your day is not just another day and another wedding, it is YOUR day and YOUR wedding!
