katie and darnell
Update: The show will be on air Tuesday 22/09/09 BBC3 21:00, If you have missed it you can watch it on iplayer by clicking here (UK only)
Katie and Darnell got married under the most extra ordinary circumstances. This wedding was funded by the BBC for the television program ‘Don’t tell the Bride’.
The challenge involves having the Groom organize the entire wedding – everything from the invitations to the Bride’s dress, all within three weeks – and the Bride knows nothing until the Wedding Day!
Katie made a beautiful Bride, and Darnell did an amazing job organizing such a great day for his Bride and family.
This was an extremely challenging wedding to shoot. Competing with two BBC camera crews was no easy task, and I was also told “strictly no flash photography” which made things pretty challenging.
But all and all the weather was perfect and so was the wedding, well done Darnell!
I was told the program will be broadcast later this year (I will keep you all updated).

just for fun
Last weekend I met up with the strobist group “London Strobist” for a meet in the Balham area. What a great day out! I had the opportunity to shoot a couple of models who were both fantastic.
The guys were all great and I was fortunate to shoot with the very talented photographer David Woof. Click on his name, for some nice in-depth info on the shoot setup (and his site its well worth the read too 
). Thanks to his great set-ups, I think we got some pretty good photos for the day.
Models: Maria Del Carmen and Earl Jay
the hawk conservancy trust
Today we visited The Weyhill Hawk Conservancy Trust in Andover. It was great (highly recommended), thumbs up to all the friendly staff members down there for doing such a sterling job with the birds and creating awareness.
I don’t usually shoot Wildlife (especially birds in flight) as it’s not the easiest form of photography and does require you to have the very best of kit, but I though Ill give it a go.
Here are my efforts.
This shot was taken by my wife.
June 10, 2009 - 10:36 pm - Hey love them.
August 21, 2009 - 2:03 am - a great interaction between the man and his bird in the nineth photo
prophotoblog
I recently upgraded my Wordpress site to the new ProPhoto2 Blog theme by NetRivet Websites and was astounded by the simplicity yet complete control this theme offers. Jared Henderson, who designed it, must be some sort of coding genius, because this theme has options and settings I never imagined possible. He’s very responsive and willing to help.
If you’re interested in purchasing this theme, please use the following code for a $10 dollar discount off the original price of $179:
MDEGOEDE422
The price might seem a little high, but if you consider the time saved by not having to look for an appropriate theme and the extensive customization that is possible without having to write a single line of code, it’s really quite a deal. I love it!
Here’s a short introductory video that Jared produced:

Update: Check out my wedding shots with Jean Pierre Uys here!
Today I have decided to dedicate a special post to one of my favourite photographers Jean-Pierre Uys. He has inspired me so much over the past few years. Jean-Pierre has been featured on Top Billing several times before, this clip was his latest appearance on the show. Please visit his blog for pictures taken on this TTD shoot.
Well done Jean Pierre Uys!
