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.

Altmar and Marelize – April 2008

I had an e-session with Altmar and Marelize before their wedding.

I love to have engagement sessions with couples because it helps the couple to be more relaxed with me on their wedding day. It also gives them confidence in my ability to make them look good.

They got married at Camelotte just outside Hartebeespoortdam. Theirs was one of the first weddings at the venue. As a wedding venue it’s ok, with a chapel and reception hall on one plot. From a photographers point of view it is a bit limited in terms of photo opportunities and I really had to work it to get some nice shots.

The facade is faux castle. The venue has a nice garden and some water features. The plot is a tad on the small side though and we had to venture outside as well. A big plus is their air-conditioning system, both in the chapel as well as in the reception hall.

The big reception hall with en-suite bar and food court had a very cosy feel to it.

All in all it was a fun wedding to shoot. Altmar and Marelize was great and we loved doing their wedding.

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.

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.

Starters have been served. First break of the day for us. After this time to set up lighting equipment for table & group photos.
Saturday, 12 December 2009 17:55
Now busy with bride & groom photos. Santie & Flippie both look dashing!

Arrived @ Casablanca Manor for Flip & Santie's wedding. I'm starting to shoot her while she's getting ready & hubby is scanning photo spots.
