Weddings, observed
Documentary wedding photographer in South Africa | Johannesburg, Cape Town & wild spaces
I photograph weddings with a documentary approach, quietly and honestly, paying special attention to the moments that happen around the edges where no one is trying too hard.
Every wedding has its own energy. My approach is to be present, to watch closely, and to make photographs that feel true to the day, guiding only where it’s appropriate and absolutely needed.
“You are a genius at capturing the emotion and atmosphere of the day”

I have been photographing weddings all over South Africa and globally since 2008, and I’ve found that it’s the quieter, unforced images that stay.
I spend most of my time working in natural, open spaces, often off the beaten path and at non-traditional venues. I still love city weddings though, especially when it involves exquisite architecture or places with interesting history.
If my photography and the way I work resonates, I’d absolutely love to hear from you.
