The New Bishops

Monday, July 20th, 2009

This weekend was a super rushed but special one with a really good get away. Two important people in my life got married in Corfu on saturday and it was really amazing and just perfect. The weather was hotter than I ever remember it being in my life and after realizing that it wasn’t a joke I made my best to try and ignore the millions of liters of sweat coming out of my body, cleared my eyes and shot some photos while witnessing a truly special day with a bunch of special friends.

To Nik and Keli, congratulations on your unity and ALL the best for this new chapter in your guys lives. Thank you for including us in it and being just like family to us. We love you guys lots.

I will post more photos of the wedding at a later stage but I want to first show the couple before I do this and just wanted to get one up quick while I log and back up the 22gigs of the day.

Point 7 Nanniversary in Brighton

Monday, April 13th, 2009

Today was the 7th month anniversary since my lady and I got married. I know it may seem silly to celebrate the monthly’s but we are so excited on each other and it keeps us happy and going. Anyway, today we came to the beach and just enjoyed another really special and fun day in the sun together. I also decided to shoot a few photographs of us playing the fool and it ended up being quite a laugh.

These are just a few of the photographs that we took together. I hope you all had a good weekend and that the short week flies by for you all. M

The New Lundbergs

Friday, August 29th, 2008

This passed weekend I flew down to Cape Town to shoot a wedding at the 12 Apostles Hotel. The wedding was really awesome and although the weather seemed super rubbish the whole day, we were lucky to be given a bit of sun just after the service to shoot some photos together and just let the couple enjoy the fact that they were now married.

With my wedding just 2 weeks away, I want to congratulate Jackie and Jason Lundberg and wish them best on their new adventure together. I also want to say thanks for getting me so excited for my wedding.

It was an awesome day, thank you for trusting me with this shoot. These are just a five of the pics from the day so people stop asking me for them. I don’t want to give away too much before the couple sees them first.

Have a good weekend, Marcus

Wilderness Sunset

Sunday, January 13th, 2008

The main reason we went down to the Garden Route was because I am working on a project for an amazing guesthouse that is in the progress of starting up in Wilderness called iKhaya. This day the sunset was incredible and I am only going to post this one photograph now until everything for this client is complete as I don’t want to give away too much just yet.

On a different note, I tested out my new Nikon D3 camera a bit on this trip and am quite amazed by the results. Still getting used to it but so far I am extremely happy but again poor for a while.

Mauritius

Thursday, July 19th, 2007

I have again shot way too many photos from the trip but really wanted to put some up so I have randomly selected a few and these are them. Mauritius is beautiful and our trip was amazing. I will try post more when I get a gap but I have a lot to catch up right now.







Vilanculos

Wednesday, April 4th, 2007

Ok ok, this is another one shot a really long time ago. I was in Mozambique in 2005 and shot a lot of work down there for a client of mine. It was the first time for me in this country and I didn’t know too much about it before I left. Anyway, the reason I am posting this is because my dad and I have been speaking about taking a trip up there to ride the coast so I started looking through all these to get excited. This shot was taken overlooking the harbour / bay area of Vilanculos which is the nearest inland town across from the Bazaruto Islands.

My Chicken Sauce

Tuesday, March 6th, 2007

I realize that I haven’t ever put photo’s of my little girl up yet so I had a look back through my thousands of happy snaps with her and found this one that I know we both really like. I shot it last year on the beach at Langebaan lagoon during sunset. Isn’t she the cutest…….

Cape Town

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007

I went down to the West Coast for my birthday in 2005 and on my way to the airport, at something mad like 6am, I passed Blouberg Strand and saw this scene. It was awesome and really one of the nicest things I have ever seen. Only problem is that I never had my big lenses with me. I decided I had to shoot it wide so posed myself as the subject and used the camera’s timer to set it off. I love this shot. An amazing memory of a special place that I am growing to like more and more every time I go there. I hope this gives you the feeling that I get when I see it.
