Hannah brought a gorgeous wild, free energy on her wedding day. Her silk dress was absolutely perfect for her.

The genuine fun and connection between her and Allan was contagious. A perfect fit for each other and it shows.

They said no photographer… until proved otherwise.

Cathryn and Glen met two years ago and decided to elope. Not just anywhere, they travelled all the way from Hoedspruit to the very south-west of South Africa and chose one of my favourite venues, Tintswalo Atlantic in Cape Town.

Originally, they didn’t want a photographer at all. They were going to rely on phones or venue staff, but thankfully Talita from Wedding Cartel convinced them otherwise. Because let’s be honest, getting married at one of Cape Town’s most beautiful venues deserves more than phone photos. These are memories to share for a lifetime.

When I met Glen and Cathryn, we instantly hit it off. They were so in love and working with them was an absolute joy. We timed their elopement for late in the day and captured the most incredible sunset wedding photos, everything aligned perfectly, from the light to the mood.

From a couple who didn’t even want a photographer, here’s Glen’s feedback:
"Wow wow wow. Thank you for these absolutely incredible pics🙏😊🥂🥂"

If you’re thinking about an intimate elopement in Cape Town or a wedding at Tintswalo Atlantic, trust me, these moments are worth capturing professionally.

They told me they weren’t comfortable in front of the camera. Fifteen minutes later, they were laughing so hard they forgot it was even there.

Megan and Niklas’ engagement shoot at Llandudno was a fun "rehearsal" for the photoshoot on the wedding day. We had the beach almost to ourselves, the light was perfect, and before long they relaxed into the moment. By the end, they told me it was one of the most enjoyable experiences they’d had together.

Engagement shoots are the perfect way to ease nerves, get to know your photographer, and capture genuine moments before the big day.

Robyn and Jarred’s wedding at Vrede en Lust in Simondium was pure joy to photograph. From champagne and laughter with the bridal party to a picture perfect ceremony on the manor house lawn, the whole day flowed beautifully.

The confetti moment was unforgettable, full of laughter and real emotion. During their couple shoot, Robyn and Jarred looked like naturals, making the photos feel timeless.

It was an absolute pleasure capturing this celebration in the Cape Winelands.

Planning your wedding here? Tintswalo Atlantic is one of my favourite venues to shoot weddings. Right on the beach, with views that take your breath away and sunsets that are simply gorgeous, it’s no wonder it’s one of Cape Town’s premier wedding spots.

📸 For the best light, aim for the golden hour, around 17;30 before sunset at around 18:24. Every corner is photogenic, every moment feels intimate, and the light makes your photos magical.

AI is changing photography faster than you realise.

AI is already far beyond what most people expected. It is changing the way photographers work. From lighting previews to automated editing, tools are evolving faster than many of us can keep up with.

As a Cape Town wedding photographer, I see AI not as a replacement but as something that can push our creativity further and even restore human connection, especially as we "humans" grow tired of the AI dust storm beginning to saturate the internet.

The key is staying human, staying present, and using AI to enhance, not replace, the moments that truly matter.

What if You Could Wear Your Wedding Dress Twice?

Your wedding day is magical, but it moves fast. Between the timeline, emotions, and everything going on, it can be hard to slow down and fully enjoy your couple photos. That’s why I recommend a post-wedding photoshoot, sometimes called an aftershoot.

It’s your chance to step back into your wedding dress, relax, and capture more wedding photos without the pressure of the big day. You can visit stunning Cape Town locations you didn’t have time for, move more freely without worrying about keeping the dress spotless, and end up with a completely different set of bridal portraits that beautifully complement your wedding gallery.

In my larger wedding photography packages, I usually include an engagement shoot. But if you’d prefer, this can easily be swapped for an aftershoot instead. It’s a stress-free way to get even more from your Cape Town wedding photographer experience, and the results are always worth it.

Your Wedding Package Just Got Better

Big news for couples booking their wedding with me.
I’ve added complimentary engagement shoots to my mid and top packages.

An engagement shoot is more than just extra photos. It is a chance for us to connect before the wedding day, get comfortable in front of the camera, and create images that celebrate your story in a relaxed setting.

You’ll walk away with photos that feel natural and true to you, and on the wedding day the comfort level will already be there.

If you are recently engaged and planning your wedding, let’s chat about how this fits into your photography.

Brides, meet your dream palette. 🌸

Soft pastels and refined details shaped this unforgettable wedding design. Hanging floral arrangements of white roses and pastel pink dahlias suspended above the tables created a dreamlike reception space. A tall cake matched the palette perfectly, and the warm glow of oversized bulbs added atmosphere. Guests were welcomed with elegant name cards that guided them to their places. Every detail was considered, every choice elevated.
