Marquee Tent Weddings makes for excellent wedding photos

Why not hiring a marquee tent for your wedding?

If you want to make your wedding photos extra special, a marquee tent wedding could give you the ideal setting and atmosphere for your wedding day.

The easiest way to find a tent hire company is to start of with a directory like www.tentsandtenthire.co.za. You could also go directly to well known companies like Tent Works or www.bestertents.co.za

When you want to rent a tent, make 100% sure that you rent the correct tent for your specific needs. One of the first criteria is the surface on which the tent will stand. If the tent is going to stand on a solid service like paving, tiles or tar, then there is only two options. The first option is frame tent hire and the second is moroccan tent hire. Both these options is a lot more expensive than normal peg and pole marquee hire.

You also need to work out what size of marquee you need to rent. You can roughly work on about 1.7 square meters per person seated on a round table. You also need to allocate space for a dance floor and if you need a space for catering, you need to put that in the equation.

The most popular tent sizes for weddings is the 15 x 15 meter tent for weddings up to about 130 people. If you move to 160 people, the 15 x 24 meter is an excellent size to go for.

Pascall Photography



" If you are looking for an award winning photographer, who is passionate about capturing beautiful and romantic images, then I look forward to working with you."


A wedding day is full of fleeting moments that pass by in a heartbeat. I aim to record the emotion and beauty of these moments to the very best of my ability. Photos of your special day are a wonderful way of keeping these once-in-a-lifetime memories alive.

Contemporary wedding photography can be broken down into four styles, namely; photojournalistic, candid reportage, family group photography and the more personal editorial style. For the best wedding photographs, I combine these styles to create a stylish and complete story of your wedding day.

I love to have fun, meet new & interesting people and record something special of every new and unique event. I have an easy going personality and love art and photography. I have been flown out for weddings both locally and abroad so travel is always an option. Prior to acceptance of a quotation it would be great to meet with you: to discuss your expectations and what you envision for your wedding photo's.

Please enjoy a small selection of my photos presented on this site and my blog. Hopefully they speak for themselves and convey a sense of my passion, art, creativity, professionalism and enthusiasm.

I hope you will place your trust in me to preserve your most treasured memories and look forward to hearing from you.

Christine Adendorff Photography



My curiosity in the human mind as well as my passion for people lead me to complete a 4 year degree program in psychology at the University of Pretoria. My desire to creatively express myself has taken its form in the visual arts and has since motivated me to study photography as well as graphic design principles. With a passion for people and an eye for detail I have come into a creative field that is true to my expression of self without which my soul would not be able to continue.

The most important quality that drives my work is passion, simplicity and creativity. Planning, communication and good business etiquette are an integral and crucial component in business and I strive to deliver work that exceeds my clients' expectations. I am passionate about people and photography and my passion can only be realized though business, so business is my passion!

I strive to create images that are natural and my style can be described as contemporary, taking from both photojournalistic as well as classic working models. I am enthusiastic about capturing true emotion and bringing images to life. My style lends itself towards an artistic feel. I incorporate the use of texture, colour, depth, movement, leading lines and interesting angles to create novel images that are meaningful and timeless.

Gerhard du Toit Photography


Your wedding day is undeniably one of the most important occasions in anybody’s life. That is the day that you want everything to be perfect – and the photographer you choose will play an important part to ensure that your Big Day is captured in such a way that it will keep all your wonderful memories fresh and alive, every time you revisit your wedding album.

In practice, however, you can have one of three experiences regarding your wedding photos:

  • It can enhance the wonderfulness of the day as a whole and create wonderful photographic memories
  • It can be ordinary
  • It can turn your wedding day into a nightmare – the photographer not being on time; not capturing some of the most unforgettable moments, having disappeared every time you need him or her; not having back-up equipment on site or not being fully prepared for your wedding.

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.

Ian Cooper Wedding Photography



Ian Cooper Wedding Photography

ic photos creates visually stunning wedding photography, nationwide, resulting in dreamlike images. No rules. No frontiers. You
provide the light in your eyes, the smiles, the joy and happiness...

ic photos does the rest!

I do not use flash 80% of the time (unless you are getting married at night); I create stunning images using the latest technology - Nikon camera's combined with fast lenses with extremely low apertures. This allows me to shoot with as much ambient light as possible in most of the stages of the wedding producing softly lit images rather than harsh flash-lit images. I do at times add off camera flash and I also use reflectors to reflect natural light onto the subject. This way I get far better and intended results. Additionally, I make use of a specially designed imported wedding light from the US. This allows me to photograph couples with stunning colourful backgrounds long after the sun has set that not many other artificial lighting apparatuses will allow.

I am also obsessed with travelling...so if you're planning a local or destination wedding - I would love to be your photographer!
