Hello Darren.jpg

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm darren,

A Cape Town based lifestyle & wedding photographer.  

I very briefly wanted to take this minute to introduce myself - I know if you're here, scrolling around, you're looking for a photographer to capture images of you, potentially on your wedding day or perhaps of you with your family.  Either way, I know you want your images to be filled with LOVE.

Welcome.  I hope what you see resonates with you.  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 - My hope is the images you see here will give you a sense of the value I place on the human connection and the importance of emotion (Love). 

During a session I observe, listen, direct, facilitate moments and nurture emotions so that I can best tell your story all while making sure you're completely at ease in front of the camera.

Thats enough from me for now,

I hope we connect soon.

Determined to start their happily ever after, Suzette and Eben were one of the first couples to take advantage of this exclusive offering.

Alana & Mark were married in the heart of the South African Winelands during an intimate ceremony followed by a celebration which I know they’ll agree, was worth the travel from Australia for.

As a French Bulldog owner, I assure you I love this breed, so if you’re able to find one during your couple shoot, then yes, 100% let’s wrangle him over and see if he’s keen for some pics. That’s exactly what Nikita and Malc
