The season

Between the proposal
and the aisle.

Being engaged is its own season, and it goes quickly. An engagement session is an hour or so of unhurried time with just the two of you: a walk in the last light of the day, gentle direction instead of stiff posing, and photographs that feel the way this time actually feels. Use them for save the dates, an engagement party, or simply to remember the in-between once it has passed.

What to expect

An hour that feels
like a date.

01

The place

Somewhere that means something to you, or a spot I suggest: a quiet beach, a mountain path, a vineyard. We time it for the last, softest light of the day.

02

Gentle direction

No stiff posing. I give you small things to do and photograph what happens in between, so the photographs look like the two of you rather than a template.

03

Your gallery

Hand-edited photographs within two weeks, delivered in a private online gallery, easy to download and share, and ready for save the dates, invitations, or a frame on the wall.

Session fee R2500, travel included
Length An hour to an hour and a half
The pace Unhurried, on purpose

Questions

Asked before
every session.

When is the best time for an engagement shoot?+

The hour before sunset, almost any time of year. Edited photographs reach you within two weeks of the session, so there is no need to plan far ahead if you want to use them for save the dates or invitations.

Where should we do the session?+

Anywhere that feels like the two of you. Cape Town gives us beaches, forests, mountainsides and city streets. If nothing comes to mind, I'll suggest a few spots that suit the light and the mood you're after.

What should we wear?+

Whatever you feel most yourselves in. Soft, neutral colours photograph beautifully in golden light, and it helps if the two outfits sit well together without matching. I'll send a few pointers once you book.

Do you travel to us?+

Travel up to 50 km one way from Uitzicht, Durbanville is included in the session, which covers Cape Town and most of the peninsula. Further afield is still possible; just ask and I'll quote it with your date.

How many photographs do we get?+

Between 40 and 60 edited photographs. That covers the two of you, the details and the light of the evening, without padding the gallery with near duplicates.

When do we see the photographs?+

Within two weeks of the session. They arrive in a private online gallery, edited by hand and easy to download and share.

We're camera shy. Is that a problem?+

Most couples are, and it's exactly what the session is built for. Everything is centred on doing rather than posing, and ten minutes in it stops feeling like a shoot at all.

Do you photograph weddings too?+

That's the heart of what I do. Have a look at the wedding page, and if your date is still open, mention it in your enquiry.

Enquire

Save your golden hour.

Tell me a little about the two of you, when you'd like to shoot, and anywhere you already have in mind. I'll come back to you with availability and a plan for the light. Sessions are R2500.
