Wedding Photography in the Western Cape

Naturally honest and beautiful wedding photography across the Western Cape.

Western Cape Wedding Photography

Your wedding day is about more than beautiful photographs. It’s about everything that happens in between.

We’re André and Susara, a Stellenbosch-based wedding photography team who have spent the past 8 years documenting weddings across the Western Cape. From vineyard celebrations and elegant wine estates to coastal weddings, intimate elopements and destination celebrations, we approach every wedding with the same intention: to create photographs that allow you to remember not only how your day looked, but how it felt.

Our photography is natural, romantic and documentary-inspired. We don’t want you spending your wedding day posing for a camera. Instead, we create space for you to enjoy the people, emotions and moments that matter, while quietly documenting the story as it unfolds.

Natural, Romantic & Timeless Photography

Our style sits somewhere between documentary
wedding photography and an editorial approach.

We love beautiful light, thoughtful compositions and portraits that feel effortlessly romantic, but we’re equally interested in the unscripted moments that give your wedding its personality. The result is a collection of photographs that feels polished and timeless without losing the emotion and imperfections that make your day yours.

Real moments. Beautiful light. Honest emotion.

Our Approach to Wedding Photography

Being based in Stellenbosch has allowed us to explore some of the most beautiful wedding locations in the Western Cape. Over the years, we’ve photographed celebrations among vineyards, beneath dramatic mountain ranges, in quiet forests, along the coastline and at some of the region’s most beautiful wedding estates.

We regularly photograph weddings throughout Stellenbosch, the Cape Winelands, Franschhoek, Paarl, Cape Town and the surrounding Western Cape, as well as destination weddings further afield.

Explore Our Wedding Photography Locations

Stellenbosch Wedding Photography

As residents of Stellenbosch ourselves, we've developed a particular love for the vineyards,
mountains, historic estates and beautiful natural surroundings on our doorstep.

Cape Winelands Wedding Photography

From Stellenbosch and Franschhoek to Paarl and beyond, the Winelands offer some of the Western Cape's most beautiful wedding settings.

Franschhoek Wedding Photography

Mountain landscapes, vineyards and romantic wine estates make Franschhoek a favourite for elegant and intimate celebrations.

Paarl Wedding Photography

With its dramatic mountains, vineyards and countryside estates, Paarl offers an incredible variety of wedding locations.

Wellington Wedding Photography

Surrounded by vineyards, mountains and beautiful countryside, Wellington has all the character you'd expect from a Cape Winelands wedding destination, with a slightly more relaxed and rural atmosphere. We love the variety of farms, estates and landscapes around Wellington and the opportunities they offer for natural, light-filled wedding photography.

Durbanville Wedding Photography

Just outside Cape Town, Durbanville offers a beautiful mix of vineyards, countryside landscapes and elegant wedding venues. We love the relaxed character of the area and the variety of settings it offers, from intimate garden celebrations to larger weddings surrounded by vineyards and rolling hills.

Tulbagh Wedding Photography

Surrounded by dramatic mountains, vineyards and beautiful countryside, Tulbagh has a wonderfully peaceful and romantic atmosphere. It's a little further from Stellenbosch, but well worth the drive, and we've loved exploring the area's unique landscapes and wedding venues.

Cape Town Wedding Photography

From the city and Constantia to the beaches and mountains of the Cape Peninsula, Cape Town offers an incredible variety of backdrops.

Hermanus & Gansbaai Wedding Photography

From dramatic coastal cliffs and ocean views to vineyards, fynbos and countryside venues, Hermanus and Gansbaai offer some of the Western Cape's most spectacular wedding landscapes. We love travelling down the coast to capture celebrations that make the most of the area's natural beauty, whether it's an intimate coastal wedding or a larger celebration overlooking the ocean.

Worcester & Robertson Wedding Photography

Nestled among mountains, vineyards and wide-open countryside, Worcester and Robertson offer a beautiful mix of rustic charm and classic Cape Winelands scenery. Being familiar with this part of the Western Cape, we love the quieter landscapes, beautiful farm venues and golden light that make weddings here feel relaxed and intimate.

Langebaan & Saldanah Wedding Photography

For couples drawn to the coast, Langebaan and Saldanha offer something completely different from the Winelands. Think wide sandy beaches, blue water, dramatic skies and beautiful West Coast sunsets. We love travelling up the coast to document weddings that embrace the relaxed, natural character of the West Coast.

Caledon, Villiersdorp & Elgin Wedding Photography

From the rolling wheat fields and mountains around Caledon to the orchards, vineyards and valleys of Villiersdorp and Elgin, this part of the Western Cape offers a wonderful sense of space and natural beauty. We love photographing weddings here for the opportunity to work in more rural, relaxed settings surrounded by mountains, farms and open landscapes.

From Vineyards to Coastlines

One of the things we love most about photographing weddings in the Western Cape is the incredible variety of landscapes.

A wedding might take place between the vineyards of Stellenbosch, beneath the mountains of Franschhoek, among the countryside estates of Paarl or beside the ocean in Cape Town. We’ve photographed celebrations in forests, gardens, wine farms, beaches and beautiful outdoor spaces, and each location brings something different to the story.

Wherever your wedding takes place, we’ll look for the light, landscapes and little moments that make that place part of your story.
