Hello, I'm MICHELLE
wedding, lifestyle and commercial Photographer
I’ve spent more than a decade behind the lens.
I married the man of my dreams in 2024 and turned 30 in 2025!
I’m a creative at heart, with a background in photography and design. I love that artistic photography is making a strong comeback in today’s world. While most of my twenties were spent building my career, I also lived and worked in the US for three years with my husband — a chapter filled with new perspectives, unexpected lessons, new skills like driving a tractor (yes, really), meeting new people and a new love and appreciation for the outdoors!
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me in the garden, exploring mountain biking trails (still an amateur, haha), or daydreaming about living next to the ocean. In 2025, I’m planning to learn how to sew and move my body more.
Weddings, families, brands, EVENTS — I’ve captured MOST OF THEM.
In my decade of photography, I’ve had the joy of documenting hundreds of stories — from deeply in-love couples and growing families, to maternity milestones, events, and commercial shoots for South African brands and businesses. I’ve worn many hats along the way — photographer, creative director, stylist, location scout, editor, and sometimes even hype-woman and timeline whisperer. I believe in showing up fully, being hands-on, and creating an experience that feels effortless and authentic.
My photography is rooted in storytelling — capturing real moments, genuine connection, and the quiet beauty of the in-between. I lean toward a warm, film-like documentary style that feels nostalgic, timeless, and true to you.
I thrive in natural light and love working in environments where you can simply be yourself. I guide gently when needed but never try to interrupt the natural flow — my goal is always to help you feel at ease and seen, without the pressure of stiff poses or forced smiles.
Every shoot is a collaboration, and I’m here to help you remember not just how it looked, but how it felt.
Let's work together!
If you're looking for a photographer who brings experience, intention, authenticity and some BIG heart — you’re in the right place.
Whether you're planning your wedding, capturing your family’s next chapter, or building your brand's visual identity, I’d love to hear your story.
