Weddings, observed
Documentary wedding photographer in South Africa | Johannesburg, Cape Town & wild spaces
Feeling over performance. I photograph weddings 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 simply to be present, to watch closely, and to make photographs that feel true to the day, guiding only where it’s needed.
“You are a genius at capturing the emotion and atmosphere of the day”

I have been photographing weddings since 2008, and having worked through hundreds of thousands of my own photographs, I’ve found that it’s the quieter, unforced images that stay.
I travel around South Africa, and spend most of my time working in natural, open spaces, often off the beaten path and at non-traditional venues. I do enjoy city weddings though, especially when it involves notable architecture or places with an interesting story.
If this all feels like a good fit, I’d love to hear from you.
