MY STORY

This is me... I grew up in the Western Cape, I’m a thirty-something year old South African based wedding and lifestyle photographer.

I laugh a lot and I love my jeans, dark chocolate and a good coffee. I take photos of weddings, engagements, families and basically anything where people are involved.I have a passion and love for photography; capturing not only the precious events of the day, but also that seemingly insignificant, but lingering loving moment missed by most. ​Pictures are everlasting and reveal so much more than meets the eye. It captures the emotion and feeling meant at a certain moment, telling a story that goes far beyond the image border. My approach is shooting with natural light. I have a laid-back but organized style, and have a detailed artistic, yet somehow traditional edge when approaching photographs. I also have a non-studio approach believing that the natural surroundings play an important role in setting a mood for the perfect moment. 

My journey as a photographer has been absolutely incredible. It's taken me to places I would only have dreamt to see and it has given me the honor of sharing wonderful stories with friends, family and at times, complete strangers. Amongst being a photographer, I'm also a bit of a perfectionist and down to earth.

I love meeting new people & remaining friends with my clients.

“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving.

What you have caught on film is captured forever…

It remembers little things, long after

you have forgotten everything.”
