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.

I was very much looking forward to this wedding.

I knew the reception hall at Avianto was going to be out of this world.

I knew that Melissa and her dress was going blow my mind.

I knew that Elvio was going to look just dashing.

…

.I wasn’t wrong.

Here are some of the images I took today….enjoy.

Carol - These photos are simply stunning! Your composition and the way you’ve captured the light is absolutely sublime. We were supposed to be at this wedding but unfortunately Sydney Australia is a little too far to travel from at this stage. I can really feel the essense of the day in these photographs – wonderful!
