Stellenbosch Franschhoek Paarl Cape Town
You'll be too busy to notice me.
I photograph weddings across the Cape Winelands. I work quietly, from close range, and hand back the day the way it actually felt.
Recent weddings
Whole days, start to finish.
Nooitgedacht Estate · March 2026
Anja & Ruan
A 60-guest wedding in the vines with no speeches, no cake, and a two-hour lunch that ran until dark.
Boschendal · November 2026
Thandiwe & Lourens
180 guests, two families who had never met, and a wind that turned the veil into the best thing about the day.
Cape Point Vineyards · February 2026
Elmarie & Jaco
A coastal wedding that moved indoors ninety minutes before the ceremony, and was better for it.
The running order
How a day with me actually runs.
Every wedding is different and this is still roughly what happens. If yours runs another way, we build the timeline around it on our first call.
Talk through your day- 11:00
Getting ready
I arrive while it's still calm. Dress on the door, rings, your gran arguing about the flowers.
- 14:30
First look
Optional. If you'd rather wait for the aisle, we skip it and I steal the light later.
- 16:00
Ceremony
I shoot from the side and the back. No stepping into the aisle, no flash in your officiant's face.
- 16:40
Family formals
Twenty minutes, list agreed beforehand, done before anyone's drink goes warm.
- 18:30
Golden hour
Fifteen minutes, just the two of you. This is where the frames you'll print come from.
- 19:15
Speeches and dancing
Back to invisible. I stay until the floor is properly full.

What couples say afterwards
“We booked Marike because of the vineyard photos and kept recommending her because of how she was on the day. Calm, invisible, never once made us stand somewhere for the sake of a picture.”
“The preview gallery landed two days later while we were still at the airport. My mother has already printed six of them.”
