WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY AND FLOWER WORKSHOP
After lockdown the best thing to do is to be creative the moment an opportunity arrives. This is exactly what Zavion and I did when we started to plan the second ZK flowerschool and Rensche Mari wedding photography workshop.
I had so much fun shooting this beautiful setup by an amazing team of creatives. This was for the ZK Flower school and Rensche Mari Wedding Photography workshop back in September. After lockdown was eased, this was a breath of fresh air.

She wasn't a sunny day type of woman. Often she would brave a thunderstorm to find me, and sit next to me and hold my hand in the rain.
She wasn't just a flame.
She was a bonfire to the soul.
~ JM Storm
I was so fortunate to be able to do a mentor session in New York on a recent trip. I met this wonderful photographer, Brittany Stover through my online shop, and she booked a day with me in NYC. I spent the day showing her how I work and shoot.
On top of that, I got to photograph my friends and beautiful couple I met a couple of years ago when they booked me for a safari shoot in South Africa, Chan & Astami (Astami, also a photographer), posed for this session, YOU GUYS, I love you and thank you so much for being in front of my lens again! It was a rainy day in New York, but that didnt stop us from having so much fun.
All film session

RENSCHE MARI WORKSHOP PART 2
The first Rensche Mari workshop for 2016 was the Retreat at Bordeaux Game Farm.
I loved the group of girls I got to teach and hope that I will be able to do this again soon. To every person who helped with this workshop, thank you. It is wonderful to do what you love!
A very big thank you to Eve, from Splendid Wedding Company, you are a wonderful friend and artist - this was the 3rd workshop where you styled the tables for the styled shoot and I just have to say that every time you do something it WOW's me! I am so happy that you are my friend, and that I get to talk to you every single day :D
Jana, from Silver Swallow, thank you for the touch of elegant flow you bring to my workshop every single year...I'm counting and we have worked together now for 5 years, since the first workshop. Every time you create a garment I just want to photograph it - over and over again. This dress was photographed again after the workshop and I look forward to sharing that too!
Thank you to Seline from Es by Seline for the cake, Chrystalace for stationery and the lovely Aurette for modeling for us and Ida from Pink Scissors for Hair & Makeup and last but certainly not the least, Schantel from Kiekie Kit for sponsoring a beautiful camera bag & strap, it is a blessing to have you at the workshop yet again!
And just when you thought this was the last of it, we did a little noon shoot with Leandri :D where I showed the photographers how to shoot when the sun is high. Thank you Leandri, you are a dream model :D

RENSCHE MARI WORKSHOP PART 1
The first Rensche Mari Workshop was held at Bordeaux Game farm, a 4 day retreat with a lot of photo sessions and learning all about Wedding Photography.
Putting together a workshop is hard work, but having a great team to help is always amazing! My 2016 Rensche Mari Wedding workshop held at Bordeaux Game Farm was a great experience and wonderful week spent with creatives from all over. I hope they wont mind if I have the next one here again.
A couple of thank you's will follow throughout the post! If your wedding is coming up and you want to have a marvellous experience you will definitely need professionals like these;
The Bordeaux Game Farm Venue and Team...Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Each person had such a blast and was spoilt rotten with the gourmet food from the kitchen during our stay and we could not have asked for better service, food and backdrop! You are my favourite venue by far!
To Jolindi from Chrystalace, for helping to fill up the goodie bags with wonderful things and stationery for each photographer - they loved it, so did I!
To Sone & Hermann, for letting 8 photographers stand around you and photograph you, the camera loves you!
