I am a born and bred Capetonian, animal lover, plant hoarder, wine drinker and of course, a wedding photographer based in Cape Town.
When not photographing weddings I like to spend my time with my dogs, cats and partner. I enjoy the outdoors, rollerskating, ballet, good wine, building lego, travelling and collecting unusual trinkets.
There are few things that make me happier than a good braai at sunset with friends, the smell of fynbos and road trips. And during the hot summer months you can find me volunteering for the 'Volunteer Wildfire Services' .
My love for photographs started many years ago when I was small and spent time with my grandparents. We would often sit and go through their old photo albums together (I'm incredibly lucky to still have these albums today) and I loved seeing what their lives were like back then and hearing the accompanying stories that went with those photographs.
My love for photography and taking photographs started back in my high school darkroom. I loved photographing my family as my subjects and there was nothing more rewarding than watching your own photographs develop in front of you.
Fast forward a few years, I shot my first wedding in 2014. It was terrifying but I loved being able to document such a special moment in someones life and give them photographs that they could look back on. From that wedding, as terrifying as it was, I knew that this is something I wanted to do.
In 2016, I took the plunge and left my full time job. I’ve been lucky enough to do this full-time ever since.
To date, I've shot over 250 weddings, and honestly, I am still excited, nervous and inspired every single time. Nothing brings me more joy that being able to celebrate with my couples and document the joy a wedding day brings.

And if you like my vibe please get in touch, I would love to hear from you.
