About Wedding Moments
Photography is an expression of my passion for people and life.
My name is Eugéne Naudé and I am married to Karen. Although I am Pretoria based, I have done weddings and assignments all over South Africa. It has been said, on more than one occasion, that I am guilty of excessive happiness. This is the type of atmosphere that I would like to create on your wedding day. With my nine years of wedding photography experience and only happy brides you can be assured of a perfect day. It is important that you feel relaxed and confident on your special day. I will be there to make that a reality. I will be your shadow from your appointment with the hair stylist to the last dance. Your only concern will be to have enough smiles to help me to make your pictures as vivid as your memories. I have the ability to relate to anybody. Whether it is a formal wedding or relaxed private family function. I will make every occasion memorable.

Choosing a Wedding Photographer must be one of the most difficult tasks in planning a wedding. Every Wedding Photographer has his own unique style. Each Wedding Photographer offers different Wedding Photography Packages. If you are a “bride to be” staying in Pretoria or Johannesburg you have the advantage of staying in close proximity to the finest Wedding Photographers in Gauteng. If you are not staying in Gauteng, find out if the wedding photographer will travel and how much is added to his wedding package.
With all this said; what criteria do you use to make your final selection? Here are my points in order of priority:
Price: This must be the most important point in choosing a wedding photographer. As they say: “Money talks” If the budget doesn’t allow an expensive photographer, cut on the guestlist and flowers. Remember, after a week all the flowers will be dead. Your photo memories are forever. The bottom line here is; you pay for what you get.
Professionalism: A good way of finding out how professional your photographer is; ask for references. Whether the bride was happy or unhappy, she will tell you exactly what you can expect from your photographer. Remember to ask if she waited for her photo’s or wedding book for more than the time-frame that was discussed between herself and the photographer.
Style: Does this photographer has an art-or-photo journalism style. Look at he angles of the pictures. Do you like the use of props like an old suitcase with “Just Married” written on the side or do you prefer highly edited photo’s in “Black and White ” or “Sepia”?
Personality: We all like nice, relaxed people. If you meet a photographer that is so “professional” that he stresses you out, rather choose somebody that helps you relax and makes you feel confident. A camery doesn’t lie. The pictures will show your emotion.
Website: A photographer’s website is the window to his soul. There you will get all the relevant information that you need. Is he a fresh college graduate or is in business for ten year’s and longer and has proved himself. It is your decision; young and energetic or older, calm and confident. His website will also show you the quality of the final product. That is what you will pay for; the wedding pictures.This is purely my point of view of the criteria to use in choosing a Wedding Photographer and Wedding Packages.

Choosing a Wedding Photographer: Part Two A wedding photographer is chosen to capture the Wedding Moments of a most special day!
Consulting with brides in the last month left me speechless. I have realised that a huge persentage of my wedding photographer colleagues became so important that they dictate the whole wedding and reception. A traditional wedding has certain moments that must be captured. The master of ceremonies, together with the wedding couple and the caterers decide on the exact times thereof. The wedding photographer does not have the privilege to dictate those times. The problem is that very few of them stay later than 20:00. If a photographer is chosen to capture the wedding. Isn’t he suppose to take pictures of the whole wedding? Some photographers charge an additional R1000 per hour to stay later than 20:00. I think it is ridiculous!
The point that I would like to make with this article is: When choosing a wedding photographer, make sure that he/she is there to capture the complete wedding. Find out exactly what is the latest time the photographer would stay. I never leave before 23:00! I enjoy the evening with the wedding couple and guests and it gives me the opportunity to take some interesting wedding pictures!
I would love to do your wedding!

What a great experience! I had the privilege to be the appointed Wedding Photographer for “Bride & co.” bridal boutique this weekend. The excitement of the “brides to be” and their mothers was exhilarating. It is a signature moment in every bride’s life the day when she fits her first wedding dress. I will never forget the pride on the mothers’ faces when their daughters came out of the fitting rooms. I was proud to be part of their special moments.

Hi Eugene
Do you do a pre-wedding shoot?
Ian
Hi Ian!
I prefer to do a pre-wedding shoot. It gives the wedding couple confidence. It is also good to work in more relaxed atmosphere. Call me if you need some information on a pre-wedding shoot.
Kind Regards!
Eugene
Fantastique!
Thank you Jenny!
Please call again. I change my on a weekly basis to keep it fresh.
Kind Regards!
Eugene
Eugene,
Ek hou van jou werk. Dit is beslis bo gemiddeld! Daar is ook ‘n sprankelende uniekheid wat elke bruid opgewonde behoort te maak. Sy gaan anders lyk as die res en hoogs in haar skik wees. Jou foto herwerk tegniek is ook iets besonders wat jou ‘n eie identiteit gee en vergelykbaar is met die top fotograwe van ons tyd!
Voorspoed vir die toekoms.
Dankie Jan!
Ek waardeer jou terugvoer.
Groete
Eugene
Hi Eugene
What a wonderful collection, I can see that all your brides are relaxed which make for an excellent photo!
Be sure that I will recommend you to all my friends and family.
Thank You Vianta! Please visit my both my websites: http://www.weddingmoments.co.za and http://www.sa-wedding-photographer.co.za again. Regards!
Dit lyk pragtig! Dit lyk of jy weet wat jy doen. As ek net sulke mooi foto’s kon gehad het die tyd toe ek getroud is, sou dit wonderlik wees. Ek verstaan jy maak ook koffietafel fotoboeke; vir die bruidspaar en vir die 2 ouerpare. Wat ‘n fantastiese idee! So kan almal altyd daarna kyk en jy het nie nodig om die album af te stof en uit die kas te grou nie. Ek gaan beslis vir al my vriendinne hiervan vertel. Groete en voorspoed!
Hallo Adri,
Dankie vir die lof. Ek maak inderdaad fotoboeke vir die ouers ook. Ek kan my pakkette aanpas volgens die bruidspaar se vereistes. Die “Wedding Packages” is slegs ‘n riglyn. Besoek gerus ook my ander webtuiste http://www.sa-wedding-photographer.co.za. Om dit interessant te hou sal ek weekliks die webtuistes opdateer. Vertel gerus jou vriendinne. Onthou ek neem nie net trou-foto’s nie. Ek neem graag familie, formele-en-informele funksie foto’s. Skakel my gerus vir ‘n kwotasie. Dankie!
Hallo, Dit lyk goed en ek het my eerste keer op die site ‘ge-klik’. Waar is die plek waar die foto’s in die klipkerk geneem is?
Hallo Deon!
Dankie vir jou besoek op Wedding Moments.
Die foto is geneem in die klip kerkie op Cullinan, ontwerp deur die wereld bekende argitek wat ook die Unie Geboue ontwerp het naamlik Sir Herbert Baker.
Cullinan is ‘n pragtige dorpie en die perfekte plek vir ‘n troufoto’s.
Groete!
Eugéne
