Totally up to you,
but I highly recommend an pre-wedding session
- and here’s why.
First, my photography magic
works best when we’ve had a chance to get to know each other.
A pre-wedding sesh is like a fun,
pre-wedding hangout where we can vibe, laugh, and spend some quality time together before the big day.

It’s also the perfect way to shake off any camera jitters. Feeling a little nervous or awkward?
Totally normal!
But believe me, after a session with me, you’ll be camera-ready pros by the time your wedding rolls around.
Plus, who doesn’t want an excuse for
extra cute couple photos?

I mainly shoot weddings, but I absolutely adore couple sessions (engagement, anniversary, elopements, vow renewals, wedding couple re-shoots, family & maternity) if my schedule allows it.
If you have a really cool concept and would like me to shoot it for you, please share your vision.

I love working with a lot of movement, so anything that you are comfortable in moving and flowing with, wear what makes you feel beautiful and comfortable, and if you have reference photos, align your outfit with that. Neutrals look great, and focus on textures rather than patterns.

*Lifestyle sessions delivered
within 2-4 weeks
*Your wedding sneak peek photos
will be ready to make you smile
within 7 days!
*Your beautifully edited wedding gallery will debut in 4-6 weeks.
(grab the popcorn!).

The number of photos you’ll receive
depends on a few things:
how many hours you book,
the flow of the day,
the number of guests, the details,
and the venue & guest vibes.
All of these little factors add up to how
many gems I’ll capture and edit for you.
But don’t worry—there’s no limit!
If it worked out beautifully on the day, it’s yours.
I promise I don’t hold back on the good stuff.
For full-day weddings, you can expect anywhere from 500 to 1500 photos. There really isn't a number set in stone.
—it really depends on how the day unfolds.
Think of it as a treasure chest of memories,
all polished and ready for you to relive!

Nope, I don’t send unedited or raw files
—those are like half-baked cookies! 🍪
I reserve the rights to the raw and unedited files, you get the rights to the edited images.
Most of the magic happens in the
editing process, where your photos
go from “meh” to marvelous.
Without that final sprinkle
of pixie dust, they’re just not quite
ready for the spotlight.

Nope, I keep things Al'Natural on this neck of the woods. I only play around with sliders & circles. I'm not here to change your appearance, just capture your beauty -so I'm not going to change your body to appear differently. I do however clear up temporary blemishes such as pimples or bruises. If you have anything you are self-conscious about, please tell me - I'm so happy to work around your best angles to ensure you are happy and confident in your images.

Bookings are first come, first served
- so don’t wait too long to snag your spot!
I book anywhere from a couple of months
to a year (or more!) in advance.
If working with me is on your wish list,
reaching out early is the way to go
- especially if travel is part of the plan.
Let’s make sure your dream date is all yours.

Yes, I travel on a regular.
Based in Dana Baai, travel all through the Beautiful Garden Route, and super keen on all surrounding areas and beyond.
If your location is more than 120km from where I'm based, please remember to add a little extra to your budget for accommodation as well.
Travel costs less than 100km (50km there, 50km back) are already worked into the packages to make them as inclusive as possible. Anything more than that you will be billed for at an additional cost. A girls gotta keep up with her milage, ya know!?.
For every kilometer traveled
(starting from Dana Bay),
it’s R5.00 p/km
Roundtrip, of course.

To save your special Wedding date,
a retainer fee amount of
R6 500.00 is required
- think of it as your
“we’re making this official” deposit!
(Just a heads-up, the R6 500.00 retainer is non-refundable, as your spot is all
yours and only yours once it’s booked.)

The remaining balance?
The rest of the balance can be paid within instalments.

*For Any Lifestyle sessions I require a minimum of R500 retainer fee to book your spot. The full amount are payable before or after the session, but no photographs will be shared without the settlement of the full amount.

Easy peasy, right?
Let’s make this happen.
Go fill in my contact form :-)

No. Not at this very moment no, but are definitely keen on making this option part of the future. Video just really has a way of capturing treasured moments and telling a story like no other, evoking a truly immersive experience.

Complete the contact form below, tell me your vision, your vibe, and any fun ideas you have.
Don't like filling in forms yet?
I totally get you. Just pop me an email at hello.loveandfables@gmail.com with your wedding date, your venue & location, & the package you are interested in, and we'll take it from there.
Once I reached back out to confirm availability and you are ready to lock it in, I require a non-refundable retainer fee of R6 500.00 (with proof of payment) and a signed contract to book out your date. The remainder, within instalments, is due 30 days maximum before your wedding date. There is also the option to pay in full.

I am based in Dana Bay, Mosselbay. Capturing all the adventures along side the sunny coasts of the Garden Route and beyond. But where your love goes, that is where I'll meet you.
My bags are already packed.

I shoot with a professional camera that has dual card slots (fast writing memory cards, which are replaced on the regular yearly) which I seperate as soon as I'm on my way home and keep on my persons. When I'm home, start backing up onto three external hard drives to minimise the risk of losing photos. Unfortunately, we can never eliminate the risk of losing photos, but rest assured that I do my absolute best to keep your photographs safe.

I remain quite consistent with my style so your photos will look similar in style to my other work, but your photos will be as unique as your wedding story. Every wedding has its own vibe and I'm only documenting what's already happening

I normally dress smart casual in something that allows me to do my job while still looking appropriate for the occasion. If you have any dress code or colour codes you need me to fall into please let me know

Yes please. I need a dedicated spot to put all my bags & my equipment (out of sight) and where we can have a warm plate of food. Most venues provide a dedicated spot for all vendors to sit and rest our feet and have our meals during dinner time, please discuss this with your venue.

Be intentional. Get off Pinterest and personalise you wedding- do what you love. I would recommend working with a professional coordinator/planner so that you can let go and enjoy every moment.

Feel free to share this with me. I can only capture what I see and what I'm aware of, so if there's anything specific you want/ don't want, let me know before your big day so I can pay extra attention to it. I love to see which photos you like but please remember that your wedding is unique and that while I welcome reference photos, I won't copy another photographer, or completely change my editing style or approach.

I need a list of family photos, a schedule (which I'll help you with, or at least have checked so we can ensure you get the most out of your day and photos).
And a list of all your vendors.
I'll check in a few weeks in advance and confirm all these details.
If you would like me to know anything else, please let me know.

Feel free to email or WhatsApp me, we can also arrange a call or facetime call, or we can meet in person.
I personally prefer e-mail or WhatsApp, just best to have all important info in writing in one easily accessible space.

If you've already put a retainer down on a date and then have to move/cancel it, the retainer is non-refundable and a new retainer will have to be made in order to hold a new date.
I close that date off for that date and have to show away any other potential bookings for that date.
I am a one-woman-show, so my time is really important to me.
I only take on a limited amount of weddings per year to be able to offer the couples I work with the very best.

Some of my favourite shoots ever have been in hectic weather (that is if my gear will be able to handle it), but if the weather is really really bad and you really envision a sun-shiney vibe we can reschedule if both our schedules allow it.

Yes. 3%. Only for once-off full payments for my wedding packages.

I shoot with Sony a7iii. a Camera that has double card slots. Hello! instant backup to help keep your memories safe. I love the quality that my prime lenses provide. My go to prime lenses are 50mm, & 85mm. And my 28-75mm zoom.
I also prefer using LED lights during the reception time to not over power the ambient light with flashes. I like to capture & keep the look & vibes as they are.

light, soft, calm, & flowy, timeless nostalgia with a natural-like edge. Inspired by nature, movement, and candidly child-like wonder & sense of adventure. I combine these aspects to create an unconventional gallery. I'm all about capturing who you are in a timeless way, aiming to create something for generations to gush about.
My work is classic, with a sprinkle of candid-like adventure.
