Frequently Asked Questions

How would you describe your photography style?

Soulful, editorial, and deeply intentional. My work blends photojournalism with refined elegance - focusing on feeling, storytelling, and those beautifully honest in-between moments. Light is my love language.

1 / 11

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you photograph more than weddings?

Absolutely. I also offer sessions for engagements, maternity, and families—capturing every season of life with care and artistry. These shoots are often some of the most tender and joy-filled.

1 / 11

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should we book?

Weddings usually book 8–12 months in advance, while portrait sessions can be scheduled a bit closer to the date. If you’ve got a special moment coming up, let’s chat as soon as possible to secure your date.

1 / 11

Frequently Asked Questions

How long should we wait to see our pictures?

Within a week after your wedding, you'll receive a preview gallery with the highlights of your day - perfect to share with friends and family. The full gallery will be delivered within 4-5 months, as I take great care in thoughtfully curating and beautifully editing every single image so that your final gallery feels cohesive, timeless and truly reflective of your day.

1 / 11

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you recommend some suppliers?

Absolutely! I can recommend incredibly talented videographers, florists, makeup artists and wedding planners that I’ve personally worked alongside and truly trust. I also love being part of the creative process — from refining mood boards to curating colour palettes — so we can align your vision and ensure every detail feels cohesive, intentional, and beautifully you.

1 / 11

Frequently Asked Questions

We feel awkward in front of the camera.

Will you direct us?

Absolutely. Most couples tell me this in our first call. You don’t need to know how to pose or “be good” in front of the camera. I use subtle prompts and natural movement rather than rigid posing. My goal is for you to feel comfortable and present so your photos reflect a genuine connection rather than performance. You won’t be left wondering what to do - but you also won’t feel overly directed.

1 / 11

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you travel for destination weddings?

Yes - destination weddings are one of my greatest joys.

Although I am based in Cape Town, South Africa, I regularly travel for weddings both locally and internationally. From the Winelands and safari lodges to Europe and beyond, I approach each location with an editorial eye and a deep appreciation for place.

1 / 11

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer albums?

Yes. I offer albums designed to preserve your images beautifully and tangibly. There is something deeply meaningful about holding your memories in your hands rather than only viewing them on a screen.

1 / 11

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if it rains on our wedding day?

South African and destination weather can be unpredictable, and I always have a backup plan in

mind. Overcast and rainy days often produce some of the softest, most beautiful light — and

where needed, we adapt the schedule together on the day.

1 / 11

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we give you a shot list?

Yes. I welcome a short list of must-have people or moments (family groupings, a particular

detail, a specific relative), which I'll weave into the natural flow of the day alongside the

documentary coverage.

1 / 11

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer payment plans?

A 30% booking fee secures your date, with the balance due ahead of the wedding. If a staged

payment plan would help, let's talk — I'm happy to find an arrangement that works for both of

us.
