How booking a photographer in Cape Town works
- Send your date and shoot type. Use the form: date, area or venue, and what you want photographed. A rough idea of hours or the number of people helps.
- Get availability and a written quote. The quote should state the hours of coverage, how many edited images you receive, the delivery time and any travel or location fee.
- Secure the date. A deposit usually reserves the date. Popular spring and summer Saturdays and matric dance weekends go first.

Where we shoot: Cape Town, the Helderberg and the Winelands
Our lead photographer is based in Somerset West, so the Helderberg (Somerset West, Strand and Gordon's Bay) is home ground. Shoots run across the Cape Town metro, from the Atlantic seaboard beaches to the northern suburbs, and out to the Winelands for weddings and family sessions.
Your photographer
Your shoot is photographed by our lead photographer, who is based in Somerset West and works across Cape Town, the Helderberg and the Winelands, including Stellenbosch and Paarl. She specialises in weddings, engagements and family shoots, photographs matric dances, and describes her style as light, airy and natural: relaxed direction, real expressions and soft, true-to-life colour.
There is no studio. Every session happens on location: a beach, a garden, a wine farm, your home or your office. Photos are delivered through a private online client gallery. Wedding dates for 2026 and 2027 are open.
