Introduction...
We are Passionate Wedding Photographers in Pretoria and Gauteng based in Montana Park. Operating mainly in Gauteng as well as Country Wide throughout South Africa, specialising in taking only the best Wedding Photos. A a matter of fact, we celebrated our 10th year as Professional Wedding Photographer in 2020!!
Both me – Kobus and my wife Nadine, are committed in making this a very special and unforgettable event. Thus we offer a variety of packages from 4 hours up to 12 hours. As a result, a wide selection of extras are available to suit the most demanding of clients as can be seen in our Wedding Package section. From the most elaborate Designer Albums, to gifts for your guests, to the humble often forgotten thank you card – you decide!
We believe that this is your most special day, and we therefore enjoy being part of it by offering superior service. Equally important – we also are firm believers that your wedding should be a celebration, a fun event with lots of happiness to go around. For the same reason, me and Nadine strive to have fun with the wedding couple as well as with the guests, while still being professional at the same time.
In conclusion – I am sure that a grumpy and miserable photographer can ruin an otherwise great wedding!!
A word of advice...
Without a doubt this is YOUR big day (if not the biggest) – in view of this it must therefore be all about YOU. As a matter of fact, all that you have left after everything is said and done, will maybe be a bit of wedding cake and the photos taken on the day.
As Passionate Wedding Photographers, we know from experience, If your photos are of poor quality or with no imagination and attention to detail at zero as a result of using a “low budget” photography company, that’s what you will have for eternity!!
Above all – choosing the wrong photographer with inferior equipment and little or no experience, will haunt you for a long time after the wedding.
First thing to remember when choosing a Wedding Photographer – bad wedding photography can’t be fixed after the fact!!
