Joretha Taljaard Wedding Photography

Welcome to the web site of wedding photographer Joretha Taljaard, featuring wedding photography, wedding photos, wedding albums and wedding tips and my wedding price list or packages.


Take some time to browse through the various sections where you can see lots of wedding photos , handy wedding hints and tips and download my wedding photography packages / price list.  My wedding photo portfolio contains lots of wedding photos of full weddings in order to get a true reflection of my work.  I find most wedding photography web sites only feature a couple of "best" shots from the wedding photographer and shy away from showing lots of photos from a specific wedding.

Can I offer some advice: browse wedding photographers portfolios for ceremony and reception photos taken in more or less the same lighting conditions as yours will be.

Ian and Tania – March 2008

Ian and Tania got married at The Ranch (Protea Hotel) just outside Polokwane (Pietersburg).  I met Tania during a earlier wedding I did of one of her friends.  Both she and Ian got dressed at The Ranch, which helps a lot, because then me and my husband can capture the bride and groom getting ready without having to drive around and worry about meeting up again in time for the ceremony.

 

What is really nice about The Ranch is that they offer weddings in various locations on their huge property.  Ian and Tania got married in the chapel.  It is a good venue to get married in from a photographer’s viewpoint, as the ceiling is white and not extremely high – meaning that we can bounce our flashes from the ceiling to achieve a soft, natural looking atmosphere.

Another great thing about The Ranch is that there are lots of spots to use for wedding shots.  There are lots of structures and natural settings to choose from.

 

Tania’s choice of colours for their reception posed a bit of a challenge for us.  They held their reception in a big tent on the premises and chose black and white as their colour scheme.  Luckily we have extra remote flash units and umbrellas.  My husband followed me everywhere and provided much needed extra lighting for shots taken during the night.

Dror & Andrea's workshop was fun. Best part was the food! Seems I'm too sentimental about my photos & spend too much time editing them.

Off to a workshop by Dror Eyal & Andrea Carlyle Tuesday. I admire their work & am exited & apprehensive. Hope I don't make a fool of myself!

I did a baby shoot this week for one of "my" brides of two years ago. Boy, I forgot how difficult it can be to get the little ones to "pose"

We are at a crossroad. Wedding photography is a LOT of hard work and takes up copious amounts of cash. Do we raise prices or stop doing it.

Two weddings finished and an engagement shoot done. 2010 has started with a bang!

Safe @ home. Missed a severe storm, as power is off and branches lying everywhere. Glad were done with our last wedding of 2009!

Busy with the group photos. We'll start with Pierre & Marisha's wedding couple photos shortly. Looks like rain is on its way.

The groom & his buddies were trapped in the swimming pool @ Heia Safari Ranch by the resident zebra herd for a couple minutes - photos soon.

I've started with Marisha's "getting ready" wedding photos here @ Ekudeni. Hubby has snapped the chapel and reception hall detail as well.
Saturday, 19 December 2009 09:20
Breakfast @ Cappuccinos & then off to Pick&Pay to buy snacks for the long day photographing Pierre & Marisha's wedding (starting @ twelve).

Prepping for Pierre & Marisha's wedding @ Ekudeni in Muldersdrift. Shot pre-wedding photos of them there earlier this week. Lovely place.

@ Home, saw the babysitter off & put the 3 little ones in bed. Another wedding done. Now the hard work starts: editing! Sleep, here I come.

Scaling down now. Shooting guests dancing and others saying goodbye. Half an hour to go. Pity we picked up a scrap with the two managers.
Saturday, 12 December 2009 20:37
Casablanca Manor is the worst venue we've ever been at. The manager treats us like dirt. Cutlery is dirty. Hubby had a fight to defend me.
