Candice & Juan Wedding | Assegaai Trails | Eastern Cape

No comments

Candice & Juan’s wedding was blessed with family, friends and lots of rain! Their Easter Weekend Wedding was at Assegaai Trails, a wonderfully relaxed venue in the middle of nowhere. Candice looked radiant in her Greek inspired gown and her very original rabbit’s tail non floral bouquet. I was relieved to see how calm and relaxed this couple was, not at all worried about the weather or at all concerned about a dress that might get dirty! This made for some fun shots of them running in the field in the drizzling rain!

Beth & Runeshan Modern Snow White Styled Shoot

3 comments

Runeshan & Beth drove all the way from Port Elizabeth to Grahamstown to have their beautifully styled shoot done, this allowed for so much extra time for me to do the shoot, because I was so excited about all their effort and commitment they’ve shown towards their shoot. We chatted about the options for different looks for their engagement and when I mentioned that I think a modern spin on Snow White will work really well with them, Beth was absolutely thrilled with the idea. We decided that we wanted to have a very urban setting and really play with the Disney Princess Colours. So we went for the very trendy yellow, cobalt blue and red and made sure we worked with striking colour blocking. Beth has a really good eye for styling things, choosing colours and a spot on instinct for what small little accessories & props will work well. It is really such a delight to work with somebody that can take initiative by browsing on Pinterest and other blogs to gather unique ideas for their own shoot.

Beth surprised me with an extra set of outfits for them and hand made flower crown (that she made the night before) to incorporate a change of scenery and more romantic look for their shoot. To me it felt like I a precious little gift that was made especially for me just so that I can photograph them beautifully. I genuinely adore styled shoots and photographing well planned beautiful settings, it is even more exciting when I have the opportunity to really connect with another creative mind that thinks just as visually as I do.

Beth and Runeshan are getting married end of April and I can honestly not wait anymore to see what their beautiful love story will entail, I can’t WAIT to photograph their wedding!

I love my new brand

1 comment

I have wanted to rebrand my photography business for quite some time now. As I am a creative soul, while I am immersed in the process of creating beautiful photographs I find it difficult to apply my mind to the hard core business side.

I started my business in April 2011 but have been photographing since I was 15 years old. I have always had a passion for photography and have a flair for entrepreneurial skills. I am excited about photography in all its forms.

Working with my designer, Robyn Oosthuysen from Creatives on Click, we were inspired to tell the story behind the branding process of Judith Doubell photography. I’d love you to take the time to read through this infographic and follow the path I have taken to strengthen my brand identity. It has been an authentic journey to self realisation and I encourage you to share it with your friends.

Fine Art Lifestyle Portraiture Exhibition

2 comments

I am over the moon with my current exhibition of my favourite fine art lifestyle portraiture that I have done over the past two years. Pollos Purdon from The House Planner in Kenton on Sea approached me and asked if I would want to have the opportunity to showcase my portraiture in their Architectural Showroom. The House Planner in Kenton is a beautiful space, it is actually an ideal creative space to meet with clients, have a wonderful coffee and delicious meal and smell the ocean. They are open 7 days a week and have the most gorgeous interior decorating designer pieces available and best of all, they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner there too.

Here is a quick cellphone snap of what the photos looked like once they were up on my stand, followed by the photos that you can see enlarged and printed A3 and mounted. I am so proud!
