Trusted to create visual magic by countless couples, families and professionals. Here is what some of them have to say...
Our wedding had to be changed from indoor to outdoor because of Covid regulations. When this happened we were so grateful that we had suppliers who could pull off the changes!
Niki you were so calm and made us feel totally relaxed. Our photos truly are beautiful and we could not have asked for a better photographer!
Your photos are timeless and you captured such special moments. AMAZING!
CRADOCK, KAROO WEDDING
Madelein + Michal
Niki is one of the 'finds' I am most proud of.
Her work ethic is flawless. She has a way of capturing hearts and souls in her photography like no other.
Niki has a unique ability of capturing beyond what the human eye sees. Somehow and no matter how ordinary the surroundings, Niki transforms what she sees through her lens, making every photo she takes into a work of art.
RMB COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER
Michelle Marsh
Niki has a real gift for making you feel like you've been friends for years (even if you have only just met), and she is one of the very few people who is authentic and real. With Niki, what you see is what you get.
You will immediately feel comfortable with her! She is an absolute pleasure to work with.
CAPE TOWN FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY
The Godfreys
Niki, you exceeded all our expectations! The way you and our videographer worked together was exceptional. It's as if you were never in each other's way (rare to find).
Our photos are stunningly beautiful, captured with so much emotion, love, and personalization.
We can't thank you enough, from the bottom of our hearts!
INTLE BOUTIQUE HOTEL WEDDING
Abby + Jacques
AS SEEN ON:
I travel anywhere for love. From safari wedding destinations to tropical islands and even to Iceland, my work has taken me to amazing places!
Travel to your nearest major city IS
included in my WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY pricES.
Human connection is the magic that shines through all of my work. It is the reason my images are filled with natural emotion and aren't focused on traditional posing.
It's why I chose to pursue photography over a career in law 14 years ago and to live life next to this gorgeous man. It has won me numerous awards, allowed me to connect and share knowledge with so many others, and to travel the world. It is the magic that underpins my life, and what an incredible life it is!
