That means the wild, the tender, the chaotic, the quiet. It’s not about perfect poses or curated moments; it’s about the real stuff—windblown hair, belly laughs, happy tears, and that one uncle who owns the dance floor.
My goal is for you to look at your photos and feel seen, truly seen.
I want them to feel like you in every way.
s a documentary wedding photographer, the goal is simple: to capture your day as it truly unfolds—unscripted, honest, and full of life.
My Approach to Wedding & portrait Photography
For me, story is at the heart of it all—a thread that weaves together composition, colour, and emotion. For over ten years, I’ve been capturing love stories as a full-time photographer, travelling from South Africa to Australia to turn beautiful moments into lasting art.
y journey began with a degree in graphic design and a love for fine art, which taught me to see photography as an art form .
My Background As a Fine Art GRAPHIC DESIGNER
I don’t even know where to begin because words hardly do justice to how incredible Tanya is! Not only is she insanely talented, but she also has this magical way of being everywhere at once, capturing the most beautiful, candid moments without us even realizing.
Our wedding was full of movement, laughter, and a million little details, and somehow, she managed to catch it all—the emotions, the atmosphere, and the pure joy of the day.
Beyond her talent, she is just the kindest, most wonderful person to have around on such a special occasion.

Tanya does not take photos... She captures memories! She looks for that special emotion and makes it last forever.
She is everything you can ever look for in a wedding photographer. Its not just about the final product. It is about the whole journey.
I was one of the most blessed brides having a thunderstorm and pouring rain on my wedding day and she made it work! I still have the most stunning pictures and memories of the day.

Tanya took the time and effort to do an engagement shoot and go all the way to the other side of town for us for our wedding, and we both couldn't have been more pleased with the results!
Excellent photographer, and an even more excellent woman! So easy to get along with and knew exactly what shots to take to make our day so special! Honestly have never felt so emotional looking at photographs before. We couldn't recommend her enough, and we will be definitely be getting her back for future shoots!

My approach to wedding photography is not about ticking boxes or counting hours.
It’s about connection. Emotion. And truthfully, it’s about giving you something priceless:
A way to remember how your day felt. Whether you book the smallest package or the most expansive one, my commitment to you is the same: I pour my entire heart and soul into capturing your story.
