What past couples have to say
Every testimonial on this page comes from clients who have shared their experience of having me photograph their wedding day. Their feedback offers a glimpse into what it’s like to work with me and the approach I bring to each celebration.
These reflections also help future couples looking for a Cape Town or Cape Winelands wedding photographer get a clearer sense of my style, process and the way I work on the day. If you are considering working with me, I hope their words give you useful insight as you make your decision.
LAUREN + ALLERT
"We feel so lucky to have had Christene as part of our team on one of the most magical day of our lives. From initially meeting over a video call to discuss our preferences for the day through to seeing our much anticipated album, Christene was a dream to work with. She is incredibly talented and not only was able to capture all the beautiful details on the day, both spontaneous and staged, she made us feel completely comfortable and beautiful in front of the lens. Looking back on the day and at our photos fondly, we are so appreciative of the experience we had as Christene’s style allowed us to stay in the moment and soak up the beautiful background of Babylonstoren with our family and friends without being concerned about angles, lighting or “getting the shot”! We love how our photos turned out and would recommend
Christene a thousand times over to anyone looking for a photographer for their special day!"
ANNEGRET + RUAN
"We will be forever grateful to Christene for capturing our wedding so perfectly. She caught the most special and genuine moments, perfectly reflecting the atmosphere of the day.
She felt like a guest at the wedding, moving unnoticed between the crowds and capturing the most raw, real moments. Her photos tell a story while keeping everything natural and authentic - exactly what we had hoped for, yet still surpassing our expectations! The photographs are beautifully artistic, and she truly has an incredible eye for capturing emotion and detail. We feel so lucky to be able to cherish these memories through her beautiful photos and share them with generations to come."
KYRA + ALEX
“There really are no words to describe Christene’s stunning work. If we had to use just one it would be magic. She is beyond incredible! Her eye for detail is amazing and she managed to make every single one of our photos feel timeless but considered and unique to us, perfectly documenting all the emotions of our special day. We had the privilege of having her capture both our engagement and our wedding and could not be happier with the memories she brought to life so beautifully.
Not only is she a phenomenally talented artist who is so passionate about what she does, Christene was such a warm and friendly presence throughout the day. She made us feel so comfortable which allowed us to just be ourselves and enjoy every minute. Her professionalism and communication made everything very easy from start to finish. We have been asked multiple times who our photographer was for our wedding, and we highly recommend Christene to anyone looking for a photographer who truly goes above and beyond for her clients!
Christene, we cannot thank you enough for your beautiful work!”
CHANEL + WYNAND
"We were lucky enough to have Christene capture both our engagement and our wedding day, and we could not have asked for a better photographer. From the very first moment we met her, she made us feel completely at ease and had this incredible ability to capture emotions so beautifully and naturally.
Christene was amazing as our wedding photographer, she found creative and unique ways to document the most special days of our lives. Everyone at our wedding couldn’t stop talking about how wonderful she was, how she noticed every little detail, and how much passion and effort she put into making our day unforgettable."
CHRISTELLE + WAYNE
"Wayne en ek wil net vir jou ’n ongelooflik dankie sê vir hoe amazing jy was op ons troudag! Jy het ons so gemaklik en rustig laat voel. Dit het regtig gevoel asof ons net saam met ’n vriendin kuier terwyl daar toevallig ’n kamera is. Jy was só geduldig en vriendelik, veral met my pa en al sy vrae oor jou kamera.
Dankie dat jy elke oomblik met soveel warmte en geduld vasgevang het. Jy het regtig iets besonders aan ons dag bygevoeg, en ons waardeer dit meer as wat woorde kan sê.Die fotos is ongelooflik Christene! Dis alles en meer wat ons wou gehad het."
VICTORIA + YORK
You are the bees knees, the cat’s pajamas! Your photos are art… we chose you because we liked your work but what we had no idea about was what a truly wonderful, kind and divine person you are inside & out. Our meeting was so brief in words and the day was a whirlwind blur of love & sunshine that with the help of your photos I’m able to slowly piece my memory back together with.
Also seeing you running around all day to get the shots, you clearly have a passion for what you do and this shows in your work.There are so many moments during the day that we missed and these images are a great way to see everything going on, as well as the guests having a good time. No words can express the external gratitude I feel for your presence, guidance and energy on our special day. Thanks from the bottom of our hearts.
