Our Approach
The best photographs are time machines. They don’t just show you a moment; they transport you back to the exact second the shutter clicked, reigniting the goosebumps on your arms, the catch in your breath, and the flutter of butterflies in your stomach.
Our style of documentary photography is about grabbing the moments that make your day unforgettable. We aren't here to boss you around or force you into unnatural, awkward poses that make you feel "stiff." Instead, we’re there to witness and record the magic as it unfolds around you.
You are creative, fun and imaginative and you like to do things a little differently.
Overly formal, posed and stuffy photography doesn't interest you. It's all about showing how it feels. That's good news, it doesn't interest us either!
Documentary wedding photography is our thing.
Ultimately, you are looking for something real and not contrived that represents how you see the world, your life, family and/or your wedding. Nothing staged, life as it really is.
Whether you’re eloping in the Drakensberg mountains, celebrating the day in a forest chapel, having a small civil ceremony at Home Affairs, an intimate back garden picnic, or a destination wedding on a Limpopo Farm; we're not there to boss you around or force you into unnatural and awkward poses that make you feel weird and uncomfortable. Rather, we're there to capture the magic.
You don’t want photographs that are destined to gather dust, never to be printed and stuck on a hard drive at the back of a cupboard forever more. But if you want to plaster your photographs all over the walls, then that's the aim! : these are those photographs! (The plastering on the walls kind, not the dusty cupboard ones!)
We want you to have a selection of images that reflect exactly who you are and how you felt. Full of beautiful moments that are an honest, atmospheric telling of your day. Photographs that you will love and be proud to share with your family and friends.
Think about how wonderful it will be when you are old and grey and all snuggled up on the sofa, looking back at your photos that you still love for the thousandth time.
It’s all about that irreplaceable connection, and all the ways you show it but don’t even realise – that’s what we're here to immortalise for you.
Our kind of people are those who place more importance on the people around them and the experience they’re having than the stuff they might acquire.
Trends are temporary; but real, honest, emotional stories of love and life – they’re here forever.
IT'S ESSENTIAL TO NOTE:
If your wedding day is an energetic, crazy mix of high-intensity celebrations then your photos will be filled with this energy. If your day is calmer, quieter, more intimate and emotional then this calmness will be reflected back in your images. We would never try to make your wedding or your personalities appear to be different to what they are. This is one reason we try to get to know you as much as possible before the wedding date, and why engagement shoots can be particularly useful.
You do you; don’t try to be anything that you are not.
Hopefully you've found yourself nodding along and thinking "Yessss, they get me! I want photographs like this!!"
