Soulful engagement photography

in Cape Town, Europe, and wherever your story begins.

A quiet threshold between who you have been and the life you are about to begin together.


Engagement sessions honour that anticipation with imagery that feels natural, intimate, and beautifully true to you - a relaxed, editorial way that celebrates connection rather than performance.


Whether wandering the Atlantic shoreline, exploring Cape Town’s mountains and vineyards, or strolling through a European city you love, these sessions capture the ease, laughter, and closeness you share before the vows.


For many couples, an engagement session is also a gentle beginning… a way to grow comfortable in front of the camera before the wedding day. The result is imagery that feels effortless, intimate, and unmistakably yours.

We had so much fun throughout the shoot and could not stop talking about it afterwards. Thank you for your kindness, patience, and warm, friendly nature. You made the entire experience so enjoyable, and the photographs are more beautiful than we could have imagined. Once again, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can we have our engagement photos taken in Cape Town or Europe?

Engagement sessions can take place in a variety of locations, from Cape Town’s Atlantic coastline and mountain landscapes to vineyards in the Winelands or destination cities across Europe. I help you choose a setting that reflects your story and feels meaningful to you.

1 / 8

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to schedule an engagement shoot?

Most couples book their engagement session 6 to 12 months before their wedding day, though there is no strict timeline. Cape Town engagement sessions are especially lovely in spring and summer, while European sessions align beautifully with travel plans or venue visits. The most important thing is choosing a season and light that complements the feeling you want your photographs to hold.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should we wear for our engagement photos?

I gently guide you on wardrobe so your clothing feels effortless, elegant, and harmonious with your surroundings. Soft textures, flowing fabrics, and natural tones photograph beautifully, creating a timeless look. I always recommend pieces that feel comfortable and true to you, so you can move, laugh, and connect naturally during your session.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we bring our dog (or another pet) along?

Of course — if they're part of your story, they're part of the shoot. Just let us know in advance so we can plan timing and location with them in mind.

1 / 8

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does an engagement session take?

Sessions typically run 60–90 minutes, giving us time to move through a location or two without ever feeling rushed. We work at a relaxed pace, prioritising connection and ease over a packed shot list.

1 / 8

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we use these images for save-the-dates or our wedding invitations?

Yes — many couples do exactly that. Just let us know ahead of time if you're planning to use images for save-the-dates so we can prioritise a quick turnaround on a few favourites.

1 / 8

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if it rains or the weather doesn't cooperate?

Cape Town light changes fast, and we keep an eye on it. If conditions genuinely aren't workable, we'll reschedule to the next available date — no stress, no charge.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will we receive our photos?

Engagement galleries are curated and hand-edited with the same care as our wedding work — expect your gallery within 2-3 weeks of your session, sometimes sooner if you need a few early favourites for save-the-dates.
