Wedding Photographer
available in
Potchefstroom

Wedding Photography is about capturing the story of your wedding… and the moments in it. After the ceremony is over, the food is eaten, and life returns to normal, you want to recall these moments: see it… feel it… relive it!
Again and again. Vivid. Close to your heart.

That’s why your wedding photographer creates beautiful pictures of you, the ceremony and the celebration…

• in images of the raw, unposed moments in the day… the candid photos… the natural portraits…. and the unique details that make it a great story about a very special day.
• in pictures that are authentic expressions of who you are,
• in a documentary that captures the story of your wedding day, and
• in a way that allows you to enjoy the day,

My photography style would be described as photo-journalistic. I love to blend in with the guests and capture candid and intimated moments between the bride, groom and guests. As I use documentary approach, posing will kept at a minimum and I will focus more on capturing in-the-moment scenes. This will be discussed at length with the client before hand to make sure their specific needs are met.
