Hello, I’m Christene

Cape Town and Cape Winelands Wedding Photographer


I am a wedding photographer working throughout Cape Town, the Cape Winelands and beyond. I feel incredibly grateful to live in South Africa, surrounded by remarkable landscapes, beautiful wedding venues and people who celebrate life with so much warmth and spirit.


I have been photographing weddings for more than fifteen years, and what continues to inspire me most is connection. I love meeting people, hearing their stories and witnessing the different ways they love one another. Photography gives me the privilege of preserving not only how a wedding looked, but how it felt to be there.


I am especially drawn to intimate weddings that place people at the heart of the celebration. The warm embrace from someone you love, a burst of unguarded laughter, a quiet glance across the room and all the in between moments that cannot be planned are what I am always looking for.


These honest moments bring me so much joy and keep my passion for wedding photography alive. My approach is relaxed, natural and thoughtful, giving you the freedom to be fully present while I document your story as it unfolds.


It would be an honour to meet you, hear about the people who matter most to you and capture your wedding with honesty, care and intention.

I got married in February last year at the magical Bartholomeus Klip. It was a beautiful day filled with joy and love. I gained so much perspective being the bride and getting married myself.

The happiest people romanticize their life because they know magic exists where they choose to find it.
