Ruan Redelinghuys

George, South Africa

5 Fearless Awards

I love what I do. I live for what we can create. I've been photographing Weddings since 2008 and started this incredible journey by a chance Wedding photography invitation.

Since then Photography and especially Weddings & Portraits have become an integral part of who I am. The excitement, challenge, people and their stories make up what I happily refer to as the best job in the world. My style is a combination of Modern Storytelling and Classic, Creative Portraiture.

I love how the stories unfold during the wedding day, photographing the behind the scenes moments before it all begins, the moment you see each other for the first time at the wedding ceremony, the adventure of creating beautiful and meaningful couple portraits together, when you are welcomed by friends and family as a married couple and the intimate first dance.

All the in between moments, the heartfelt tears and beautiful smiles make up an incredible part of your wedding day that I love to create, document and share with you.

"a photograph is forever" Most photographers take pictures. I tell stories.
I'm inspired by your stories and as passionate as you are about making them; I am about capturing these heartfelt moments and bringing it to life. This passion fuels my desire to truly get to know each of my clients, to understand their love, and to tell their unique story on that special day to the world. It is the epitome of creativity for me and in that I find true happiness.

Andrew Morgan

Cape Town, South Africa

1 Fearless Award

For the last 7 years I've been photographing people saying I do in the most beautiful locations! I have spent most of the the last few years based on Zanzibar island off the coast of East Africa where I first started shooting weddings in 2010, but at the end of 2018 I moved my base to Cape Town, South Africa. I started out quite slowly as a part time wedding photographer but since going full time I have now shot over 200 weddings in Tanzania, Zanzibar, Kenya and South Africa.

Being based in a tropical paradise for so many years most of my weddings were on the beach but I have also been very lucky to be so close to the wilds of Africa where I've photographed weddings in the Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire National Parks to name a few! I have a massive passion for wildlife so getting to shoot weddings out on safari is always a massive highlight!

I also love to travel and am keen to capture weddings all over the world.

Get in touch and let's see if I'm the right photographer for you...

Wedding Photography is more than just images. Our approach to a wedding is that it should not be a photo shoot!

Ronél Kruger

Cape Town, South Africa

hello
so here's the bit about me.
so basically i'm a 30-something mom of two, and full-time photographer & artist.
right brained, left winged, mostly frazzled, a true INFP and proud Ravenclaw. obviously you needed to know that.
light just makes sense to me. that's probably why i followed the path of photography. i love playing with, searching for and bending rules with natural light.
i think i might offer something unique...something true and unafraid, something natural and comfortable and in the end something to be treasured. those moments of connection, where emotion lives.
love inspires me as an artist. photography allows me to savour the things i hold precious in this life...moments, memories, love itself, people...the moments in between...a whispered word, a fleeting glance.
my style has been described as creative, natural, fine art and 'dreamy'. a 'combination of photo-journalistic or documentary style - capturing the day/event as it unfolds in real and truthful images - and editorial - creatively composed images.'
i describe my 'style' as raw, authentic, emotive and unpretentious.
here's a shout out to all the people who resonate with this idea...i hope i get to meet you and be a part of your moment in time.

Landi Groenewald

Cape Town, South Africa

I consider photographers to make up for the emotions and feelings which cannot always be accomplished by the mind and heart. I look at finding and saving those intricate, raw and real feelings of the heart. As a business my clients become a big part of my existence and I strive to create lasting friendships with each and everyone.

Richard Stobbe

Agadir, Morocco

I'm Richard, a Canadian living in the beautiful country of Morocco. I love getting to know people and capturing their love stories. I believe that every individual has been created uniquely and that no story is like another. With each couple I am passionate about creating something new that perfectly represents them yet staying true to my photojournalistic style which is full of color, creativity, and life. Your wedding photos should reflect who you are and all of the moments and expressions that make your day yours. When you see your photos I want you to be totally amazed by how beautiful and unique they are and hope I've created a "paragon" the preserves all of the expressions and memories from your day!

I love what I do, and I consider it a privilege to celebrate with you, and be entrusted to capture your love story.

Herman Verwey

Johannesburg, South Africa

Herman first started taking photos in high school after stumbling upon a camera he found hidden in a bush. After school, he went on to study film at Pretoria Technikon. During this time, his other passion - music - lured him into playing for numerous bands. The one band had an enviable year, touring the country and eventually landing a UK tour as well. It was the exposure during these music events that opened the door to stage and live event photography.

While studying Herman started off as a freelance photographer for Media24. There he found his true photographic discipline in documentary photography. He went on to win various national and international awards such as CNN African Photojournalist Of The Year, POYI (Pictures Of The Year International), Sony World Photo Awards, Media24 Photographer of the year, SAB Photographer of the year to mention a few.

Linki Abrie

Johannesburg, South Africa

There are two things in the world that make me tear up from joy. The first one is every time I witness a baby's first cry as it joins us in the world. The second is when two people in love say 'I do'. I love witnessing love, experiencing love and capturing love - this is what photography means to me... giving people memories of days filled with love.

I would love to tell your story... your most beautiful love story.

Andre van Niekerk

Cape Town, South Africa

Challenging the cliche of capturing moments with dramatic portraits. I try to mix two styles. I have worked as a photographer in Alaska, Mexico and the Bahamas and photographed weddings in South Africa and the United Kingdom.

Photography was never a dream from a young age, 2007 I just started taking photos and never looked back. My wife still thinks I am halfway to my full potential.

Adil Youri

Marrakesh, Morocco

My photography style is photojournalistic whenever possible. I like to capture the day as it unfolds except for portrait time. Then I am as hands on a necessary. Every couple is unique and some require or prefer more direction than others. I am happy to meet and exceed the expectations of my couples and can adapt to your needs.

I want to tell the story of your day. Document all the details that you have been planning for the last year and capture the day as it unfolds. My job is to photograph the love and laughter that will forever bring you back to that moment in time.
