Meet the Cape Town Team Behind Cape Vows

We're storytellers first and photographers second — here to hold onto the feeling of your day, not just the way it looked.

Our Story

Cape Town light, and a love of real moments

Cape Vows began with a simple belief: your wedding photographs should feel like being there again.

For over a decade we've photographed weddings from the Cape Peninsula to the Winelands and along the Garden Route — grand marquees and tiny backyard ceremonies, sunrise elopements and 300-guest celebrations. What ties them together isn't a style of dress or a size of budget. It's the moments in between.

We shoot with a documentary heart and an editorial eye: available light, honest colour, and just enough gentle guidance so you look and feel like the best version of yourselves — as a natural-light, documentary wedding photography and film team. The result is a gallery you'll actually want to relive, again and again.

What We Believe

Our approach, in four words

Calm

A wedding day moves fast. We keep the photography unhurried and unobtrusive, so you can be present for the moments that matter.

Honest

No stiff poses or forced smiles. We document what's really there — the laughter, the nerves, the tears, the joy.

Timeless

Trends fade. We grade every image for warm, classic colour that will feel just as beautiful in forty years.

Complete

Photo and film, from prep to party, edited by hand — one team telling one seamless story of your day.
