Hello,

I'm Darren – a lifestyle and wedding photographer in Cape Town. I love a good island vacation, a city adventure and walks on the beach with my sidekick that happens to be the cutest French bulldog in the Mother City. (When on the odd occasion she pretends to listen) #TrueStory

Thank you or visiting me here, you are very likely looking for a photographer.  Someone who is able to capture images of you and your love on your wedding day. 

As your wedding photographer, I work with you each step of the way, observing, listening, directing, facilitating moments, and nurturing emotions that tell your story while making sure that you are completely at ease in front of the camera. This means that you will be able to focus on enjoying your day without feeling self-conscious. I aim to capture the big moments as well as the small moments that are so easily overlooked. The glances shared by two people deeply in love. The laughter of you and your bridesmaids as you prepare for one of the most important walks you will ever take. The beauty of the sun catching your smile. It is these moments that you will treasure for a lifetime, long after your big day comes to an end.

I know it can be tough to put your faith in the hands of someone you've yet to meet,  to document such a personal moment in your life. Please dont hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about booking me to photograph your wedding.


If you're ready to tell your story in a way that highlights the romance and magic, let's work together and create some memories. Contact me to check my availability and make your booking.

SEPTEMBER 2011

I will be forever thankful to Samantha & Craig who asked me to photograph their wedding in 2011. The experience marked the start of my Wedding Photography Career which I’d now describe as an incredible adventure. I’ve loved meeting and working with every couple that has booked me since.
