My Passion

I have come to realize that photographing people gives me great joy and satisfaction. I love capturing the emotion and character of my clients or the connection and energy between loved ones at a wedding. By being spontaneous and relaxed, I am able to connect with my clients and put them at ease to reveal their sincere nature in my images.

My photographic style can be described as relaxed, fun, arty, contemporary and spontaneous. I also love to adopt a photo journalistic style if the situation allows it. In addition to this I enjoy experimenting with new ideas, funky poses and
creative lighting.

I try to explore this art form to the fullest by allowing myself to do all kinds of photography. This includes wedding-, studio-, lifestyle-, architecture-, corporate-, sport-, landscape- and fine art photography. By being so diverse, I am constantly challenged to learn new skills and techniques that can only improve me as a photographer.

My Work

I am a South African based professional photographer specializing in wedding, studio, and event photography. I take real pride in my work and will do everything in my power to meet my client's highest expectations. My aim is to produce the best quality products possible and to always behave professionally and with integrity, leaving my clients more than satisfied.

I have photographed weddings all over South Africa and consider no
location too far to travel. After photographing more than 250 weddings
in the past six years, I reckon myself well equipped to handle any unforeseen circumstance that could happen at your wedding. Whether it
be unfavorable weather conditions, difficult lighting situations or time constraints, I have seen it all and handled it. I use only professional equipment with sufficient backup in the unlikely event of a failure.

This site not only showcase my latest weddings but also provides useful information about my wedding photography service. If you need any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Feel free to take part in the interactive blog and tell me what you think of the images.

Dayo & Pelonomi

Friday, January 22, 2010

DP 1309 I knew that this was going to be a perfect wedding the moment I saw Pelonomi today. The hair was set….make-up applied….the dress was beautiful….and she was glowing. Dayo was Mr handsome himself…and such a gentleman. I did’nt feel like a service provider but rather like one of the special guests.

After a weeks of rain almost everyday, the weather suddenly cleared and was just perfect for the outside wedding ceremony. Paster Mathlathi could easily have been mistaken for a stand-up comedian…..I have never laughed so much during a ceremony.

Graceland’s food and preparations was top notch as usual and to top it all off we had a live band with a funky lead guitarist giving a show of his own.

….as I mentioned…a perfect wedding.
