Chantel Botha Photography

Sophisticated, Fresh Wedding Photography

In love Behind the lens

Hello, I am Chantel. I am a Cape Town based photographer who fell in love with travel images in early 2000 and have never stopped taking photos.

I am a bit of a romantic and a traditionalist. I was trained in black and white photography using age old darkroom techniques.

I love observing people from the safety of my lens and take my responsibility seriously to capture people's behaviour, emotions and souls in pictures.

That is my one legacy and every picture I take represents who I am and how I see the world.

I like people, I like watching them and waiting for the moment that they show their soul. I love being behind the lens where I can observe and use my artistic skills and human intuition to anticipate another human beings next move and capture that thought, that smile and that light in the eye for them to look at for years to come.

Wedding planning workshop 15 Jan 2011

So we had an absolutely fabulous day on the 15^th of January.

The couples arrived at 09h00 and we had a light breakfast after which they started working on their wedding storyboards that tell the story of what exactly will happen on their wedding day. They had to cut out pictures and paste them in the right order and share with each other what will make these wedding day moments magical and what they want to remember 20 years from now.

We then took turns with the couple shoots and I shared some of the photo secrets with the couples that will help them relax on their wedding day.

Lovely weather and once again I met great people. I will post the date of the next workshop soon.
