Wedding Photographers in Cape Town

ZaraZoo Photography is a team of Wedding Photographers in South Africa, operating in South Africa and internationally. In addition to wedding photography, they also do event photography. Their style tends to lean toward a photo-journalistic approach – they aim to document rather than to dictate. Their Philosophy: Let your wedding hinge around the enjoyment of the day with your family and friends; the photos should be the end result of a fabulous day of celebrations!

ZaraZoo – Rather than giving all the credit to the person that presses the button, they’ve opted to choose a name that represents the team of individuals that together mould your wedding photos into an exceptional end product. They’re there to document your day, all the emotion, the tears, the laughter, the mishaps and the love. Their photos are taken and edited to a timeless style that will stay relevant even when you reflect on them in 20 years. Click here to see more.

Planning a wedding is one of the most enjoyable yet stressful process couples go through especially when you are doing it from abroad. After going through a number of photographers we have to say that ZaraZoo were head and shoulders above all of them, from the initial enquiry Stefan was always prompt, professional and upfront about their services and packages. They made everything so simple and went above and beyond to accommodate our requests. The photography and videography was exceptional. We couldn’t recommend ZaraZoo highly enough for your special day. Stefan and team thank you so much for capturing every aspect of our special day see you at the vow renewals. – Sean & Pat

Hi, Joe here, I have been a photographer for a long time, 20 years now to be precise. I believe a photographers’ work should speak for itself. I believe that wedding photography should be unobtrusive, moments captured. I am a self-confessed romantic, I believe wedding photography should be romantic, elegant and timeless.

Joe captures the soul of every moment. You are such a talented photographer and it was an honour to have you photograph our wedding – Niki & Werner

My husband and I are not the biggest photo fans…. but from everyone’s recommendation of needing to have a photographer to capture our big day, we decided to go along with it. From the 1st meeting with Elri to the actual event, we felt so at ease and never felt like anything was forced. Not only did my husband and I enjoy the photo session with Elri, but everyone raved about her. She was able to capture so many amazing memories. I would recommend Elri to anyone in the Western Cape area.  -Megan Ward

Hi I’m Mark, a wedding photographer from Cape Town, South Africa. Having dabbled in various visual arts over the last 2 decades including everything from oil painting to graphic design I eventually stumbled on my love for photography and for the last decade have had the privilege of capturing hundreds of memorable weddings. For me photography is less about the technical aspects, like light and composition and more about capturing a sense of emotion, a moment in time that tells a story. That when you look at those images years and decades later they’re still able to evoke emotion in you. Whether it be a little girl building sandcastles in the aisle of your beach wedding or a stolen kiss when you thought no-one was looking, those are the in-between moments and stories I love to capture.

I have an absolute blast shooting weddings and don’t take myself too seriously. It’s super important to me that couples feel comfortable and enjoy the process of their wedding being documented. I believe capturing a wedding should be fun and you should feel like you’re at a celebration and not at a photoshoot. I love meeting couples and taking the journey with them through planning and eventually celebrating and shooting their wedding. If you’re looking for timeless, emotive photography and a fun relaxed environment on your wedding day, I’d be a great fit for you. Click here to read more.

It was truly amazing working with Mark and having his amazing energy and beautiful ideas to help us create some of our best and stunning memories. – Anika

Living in the beautiful Winelands of the Western Cape I’m a stone’s throw from a plethora of exceptional wedding venues and amazingly talented professionals, who complement each other in creating the canvas of your dreams.

Each new season I still get excited about who my clients are, and am always enthralled by how much they mean to me at the end of the day.  It’s through getting to know them, and what they are working towards that enables them to be comfortable in the knowledge that I’ve got them covered on the day – this is key to you enjoying every moment!  My hands-on personable approach ensures that we have a clear plan to work towards and from there I continue to offer gentle suggestive guidance if and when needed, otherwise, I simply capture your magic as it unfolds – whilst you enjoy yourselves in the moment,  with your loved ones!

Where to even begin?  Shantelle is the ultimate professional who pays such close attention to detail!  Her photography is ARTWORK that captures the moments and the memories!  She made me feel so comfortable, not only on the big day, but also leading up to it!  When I was feeling a little anxious/overwhelmed by it all, she had such a calming gentle way to make me feel incredible.  We were on cloud 9 and so impressed with her photography!  Thank you for capturing our love, our memories an the energy of our 2 special days. – Bailey Schneider | Top Billing Wedding

We are Zandri & Kevin of Zandri du Preez Photography, an award-winning wedding photography team based in Cape Town. We have been photographing weddings in Cape Town since 2012. During that time, we’ve created lasting relationships with many of our clients and continue to photograph special events in their lives (e.g. maternity, family, friends’ weddings, etc). It’s great to part of so many special moments!

Our photography is primarily a documentary style, capturing the day as it unfolds. But we also guide you when necessary. We encourage you to read our reviews on Facebook or Google and you will see that the most common feedback from our clients is how comfortable we made them feel – and it shows in the photos.

Being a wedding photographer is not just about being able to take photos. It’s about being able to help people stay relaxed and be present in the moment. This is a skill that only experience provides. And when people thank us afterwards, they always mention how easy we made it for them. Before the wedding, people are understandably unsure as to what to expect. But by the end of the engagement shoot or after a few minutes of the wedding, those feelings are gone because of our professional and friendly approach. Click here to see more.

We want to express our sincere thanks for our beautiful wedding photos! Six months later and these photos still bring us the greatest amount of joy. Thank you for capturing the day with all the joy it contained. Thank you for preserving our memories in such a spectacular way, the viewing made for some fun post-wedding dates. All the best with your ongoing work. We know you will continue to make all of the awkward couples feel comfortable and have a jolly good time in front of the lens. We also want to thank you for your stellar service, thank you for helping everything run so smoothly and for delivering all services on time. For two introverts, we really had a ton of fun! We can highly recommend Zandri du Preez Photography for engagement shoots and weddings. I get the feeling they would be good with any other event you throw their way too! – Madeleen

Is wedding photography the most important thing when it comes to your wedding? No, not at all, however, when it comes to planning your special day it should definitely be up there on the priority list of things to budget for and book as soon as possible. Flowers wilt, the cake gets eaten, the invites get binned, your dress will be worn once, and those shoes will go back into their box. But your wedding photos will last forever!
