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.

zara zoo photography

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 mold 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

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

joe photography

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

Our tips:  Book your photographer

After your wedding is over, photos will be your memories to treasure and share. A professional photographer might take a considerable portion of your budget but your photo albums will be priceless to you and your families. It is worth the investment.

A photographer should be one of the first suppliers to secure for your wedding day. During the busy summer wedding season, photographers get booked easily a year in advance. So don’t wait too long to avoid finding out that your favourite photographer is not available!

Do your research and make sure the photographer blends with your style and personality. Photography is an art and not every artist’s style is necessarily a fit for you. You and your partner will need to be comfortable with your photographer – they will be there for every intimate moment of your day.

So, how do you choose the right one? We suggest making a shortlist of your favourite 3-5 photographers and enquire about their availability and rates. If they are available, try and arrange a quick chat to get a feel for their personality. We highly recommend an engagement or couple shoot to warm up to and get to know each other long before the wedding day.

Most importantly, trust your instincts. You will know when you found the right one!
