OV&P Team Photographing at Lourensford

Behind the Scenes at the Michelangelo Wine & Spirits Awards Tastings at Lourensford

Posted by Naomi on

It’s not every day that you get to photograph some of the finest wines and spirits being evaluated by an esteemed panel of local and international judges!

It was recently our privilege to assist Aerolume Creations with professional event photography during the Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Awards tastings, hosted at the beautiful Lourensford Wine Estate in Somerset West.

What an honour to be part of this memorable event, celebrating excellence in the wine and spirits industry against the spectacular backdrop of the Cape Winelands.

Capturing the Michelangelo Wine & Spirits Awards Tastings

The Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Awards recognise excellence in winemaking and spirits production, bringing together experienced judges to evaluate an impressive selection of entries.

Over the course of an exciting week at Lourensford, panels of respected local and international judges put their expertise to work, carefully assessing the wines and spirits presented for tasting.

Behind the scenes, our cameras were busy too!

Our role was to capture the atmosphere, people and important moments through professional event photography, documenting the concentration, expertise and dedication that make an occasion like this so special.

From candid interactions to the finer details of the judging process, we aimed to create a visual record that reflected both the professionalism and personality of the event.

Photography and Videography: A Creative Collaboration

It was a pleasure to work alongside Barry Snyman of Aerolume Creations, who did a brilliant job capturing the tastings through professional ground-based and aerial videography.

While OV&P focused on event photography, Aerolume Creations brought another visual dimension to the production through video footage showcasing the event and its beautiful surroundings.

Combining photography with ground-based and aerial videography offers event organisers a versatile collection of visual content. From promotional campaigns and social media to websites and future event marketing, these complementary formats help tell a captivating story.

A sincere thank you to Barry for the opportunity to contribute to this exciting project. It’s always a pleasure collaborating with talented professionals who share our passion for visual storytelling.

Celebrating Excellence in the Cape Winelands

With its magnificent mountain views, historic character and beautiful surroundings, Lourensford Wine Estate provided a fitting setting for this prestigious celebration of wine and spirits.

Events like the Michelangelo Awards also highlight the talent, commitment and craftsmanship within the wine industry, both locally and internationally.

Congratulations to the organisers, judges and everyone involved in making the tasting week such a success!

We’re looking forward to capturing more memorable moments at the upcoming Michelangelo Awards ceremony.

OV&P filming at WW Golf Day for Moosas Group

Capturing the Action: Golf Day Videography and Photography at Boschenmeer

Posted by Naomi on

There’s something special about filming an event where beautiful surroundings, great people and a relaxed atmosphere come together. Add perfect weather and a stunning Cape Winelands golf course, and you have all the ingredients for a memorable shoot!

We recently had the pleasure of capturing photos and footage at the Woolworths Golf Day, held at Boschenmeer Golf and Country Estate in Paarl, on behalf of our valued clients at the Moosas Group.

It was a great opportunity to combine professional event videography with spontaneous interviews, capturing the personalities, energy and enjoyment that made the day memorable.

Bringing the Woolworths Golf Day to Life on Camera

Set against the spectacular mountain scenery of the Cape Winelands, Boschenmeer provided a beautiful backdrop for the event.

The Moosas Group generously sponsored two holes at the golf day, and we were delighted to help document their involvement through professional photography and videography.

One of the highlights was filming impromptu interviews with golfers as they made their way around the course. These unscripted conversations brought an engaging sense of authenticity to the footage, allowing participants to share their experiences naturally.

A sincere thank you to everyone who was happy to step in front of our cameras!

Why Authentic Interviews Make Event Videos More Engaging

While beautiful visuals are an important part of event videography, it’s often the people who bring a story to life.

Spontaneous interviews add personality, emotion and authenticity to event videos. They also provide valuable opportunities for sponsors and organisers to showcase the experience from the participants’ perspective.

At OV&P, we enjoy capturing these unscripted moments alongside the action, atmosphere and surroundings.

Whether we’re filming a corporate golf day, a business function, a wine estate event or a promotional campaign, our aim is always to create engaging video content that tells a story rather than simply records an occasion.

The result is versatile visual content that businesses can use across their websites, social media channels and future marketing campaigns.

Collaboration Behind the Cameras

Successful event videography often comes down to teamwork, flexibility and being ready to capture moments as they unfold.

We were delighted to collaborate with Barry Snyman of Aerolume Creations, whose contribution helped us capture the action throughout the day.

Working together allows us to combine our experience and creative perspectives to deliver professional video content that reflects each client’s objectives.

A special thank you to the Moosas Group for trusting us with their event photography and videography, and to everyone who helped make the shoot such an enjoyable experience.

Welcome to our New Studio

Posted by Naomi on

How has the first half of 2022 treated you? We hope it’s been meaningful, happy and successful. Here at Outdoor Video & Photographic, epic change has been underway, as we’ve moved our home and business from Johannesburg to Devon Valley near Stellenbosch. Having lived for 25 years in the same house, which included our home-based studio, we completely underestimated the upheaval associated with moving cities. It’s been a challenging time, but also filled with adventure.

We’re now living on a beautiful olive farm and are delighted to say that our brand new studio, just down the hill from the farm, is open and ready to make magic with you in the Devonbosch development on Bottelary Road.

We’ve photographed our first clients here, where we’d love to welcome you too! At the top of this post and below are two pics of our studio, which offers plenty of creative options for personal, product and promotional photo and video shoots. We can also combine this with location and aerial photography and filming.

Photo & Video Studio

Of course, we’re still serving our valued clients in Johannesburg and around the country, so have been frequently flying for photo and video shoots as well. Please contact us if you’d like to discuss how we can help you to promote your business with compelling photos and videos that showcase you and your work. We’d love to assist!
