PHOTO AND FILM | @vixphotographyweddings is for co

PHOTO AND FILM | @vixphotographyweddings is for couples who want wedding photographs that feel romantic and full of life.

The laughter you did not hear. The small look between family members. The child on the dance floor. The friends cheering in the background. The light on the landscape. The sweet, funny, beautiful moments that happen while everyone is busy living the day.

Based in Pietermaritzburg, Vicky van der Watt, known as Vix, is a wedding and lifestyle photographer with a love for people, natural light, romance and visual storytelling.

There is something generous about the way Vix photographs a wedding. She does not simply tick a shot off a list and move on. If a scene is beautiful, funny or full of feeling, she works to capture it properly, often from more than one angle.

She captures the must-have images every wedding album needs, while also watching for the moments couples may not remember seeing, yet will love discovering afterwards.

Fun, down to earth, hardworking and genuinely delightful, Vix makes couples, families, bridal parties and guests feel comfortable. Clients speak about her warmth, energy and calming presence, and how she helps posing feel natural rather than stiff.

Her style combines candid documentary photography with a natural, romantic flair. She describes it as vibrant, moody but natural, with a romantic twist. Natural light brings softness, warmth and atmosphere into her images, while her love of street photography adds to her instinct for watching real life as it happens.

For couples who want a photographer who is warm, hardworking, adventurous and fully present, Vix Photography is an exceptional choice.

PHOTO AND FILM | @thekeepers_mediasa is for couple

PHOTO AND FILM | @thekeepers_mediasa is for couples drawn to wedding photography that feels moody, romantic and modern. Zandra’s images have atmosphere: expressive, artful and a little fashion-editorial, with a softness that keeps them connected to the feeling of the day.

Known to most as Zee, Zandra is the owner and founder of The Keepers Media. With well over 15 years in the wedding industry and 1,000+ weddings behind her, she creates striking bridal and couple portraits. She has a way of seeing the bride, bouquet, dress and setting together, so the image feels less like a standard wedding photograph and more like a piece of visual art.

Her work is not bright and bouncy, and it is not overly conventional. It carries depth, romance and a quiet sense of drama: a bride with her flowers, a soft look between the couple, a beautiful flat lay, or a setting photographed with richness.

The experience itself is warm and reassuring. Zandra is sweet, caring and invested in her couples being happy with what they receive. She wants to understand their story, build trust, and help them feel fully present on the day.

Clients describe her as natural and effortless to be around, with a way of making the photo process feel smooth and not awkward. When plans change, she adapts quickly too, with one couple sharing how unexpected rain during bridal party photos became one of their favourite moments.

Her approach starts with connection. She looks for the honest feeling between people, then brings her eye for composition and atmosphere to the way that feeling is photographed.

For couples who want wedding photography that feels moody and emotionally considered, The Keepers Media is a lovely choice. Zandra brings a caring presence and an artistic eye to expressive, visually memorable images.

PHOTO AND FILM | Stephen Michael is for couples wh

PHOTO AND FILM | Stephen Michael is for couples who want their wedding photographs and film to carry a sense of adventure. The mountain path. The beach wind. The city street. The setting that feels like them.

Originally from Zimbabwe and now based in Durban, Stephen is the photographer and videographer behind @stephenmichael.za, a photo and film team with a love for people, scenery, movement and stories that step outside the expected frame.

Adventure is his sweet spot. He shines where there is room to explore, chat, move and create, making him a strong fit for elopements, destination weddings and couples drawn to something less conventional.

That creative energy is balanced by professionalism. Stephen is artistic and outgoing, but he also arrives with a plan. He understands that a wedding gallery needs candid, unscripted moments and the key photographs couples will want in their album years from now.

His approach is relaxed and encouraging. He helps people feel comfortable, offers direction without making the moment stiff, and brings humour and energy to keep the experience enjoyable.

Stephen Michael offers both photography and film which you can book as separate services or both together. His studio booth brings the idea of a photo booth into a more polished, elevated space, adding another layer of fun.

Clients speak about his patience, professionalism and ability to make them laugh. He listens carefully, handles unusual requests, and brings calm control to the adventure.

For couples who want wedding coverage that feels creative, personal and alive, Stephen Michael is a brilliant fit. His work carries the spirit of the setting, the energy of the people and the care needed to capture both the wild moments and the ones every wedding album should hold.

PHOTO AND FILM | Rozane van Heerden brings a rare

PHOTO AND FILM | Rozane van Heerden brings a rare mix of joy and careful preparation to a wedding day. She wants her couples to feel relaxed and fully present, and she plans her photography timeline with that in mind.
ㅤ
Based in Hillcrest and photographing weddings across Durban and the KZN Midlands, @pose_a_rosey_photography is known for natural images with a warm, modern feel and a documentary style with an editorial touch.
ㅤ
Rozane has a quiet confidence in the way she works. She arrives prepared, with a plan that helps keep the day on track and never makes the photography feel like a production. Her goal is to help couples enjoy the day while she documents the heart of it.
ㅤ
That balance is one of her strengths. She guides naturally when couples need direction, gives space when a moment should simply happen, and builds in enough time for the photographs to feel fun and unrushed.
ㅤ
Her work is full of warmth and feeling. She notices the laughter, the tears, the people a couple loves most, and the small interactions that carry so much meaning. Her images feel genuine with enough creative polish to feel beautiful without losing their honesty.
ㅤ
Rozane is also not afraid of a playful idea. If there is room for something creative, light-hearted or a little different, she brings that in without letting it take over.
ㅤ
Clients often speak about how comfortable she makes them feel, especially those who prefer to be behind the scenes. They describe her as calm, encouraging, patient, professional and fun, with a way of making photo time feel easy rather than awkward.
ㅤ
For couples who want wedding photography that feels warm, relaxed, joyful and deeply connected to the people they love, Pose-a-Rosey Photography is a wonderful choice. Rozane brings planning, presence and heart to the day, creating images that feel natural and modern.

PHOTO AND FILM | Colin Hulett approaches wedding p

PHOTO AND FILM | Colin Hulett approaches wedding photography with a clear idea of what an album should do: bring the day back to life.
ㅤ
The people. The atmosphere. The parts couples planned carefully, and the moments they may not even have seen while they were happening.
ㅤ
After 24 years in Cambridge, UK, Colin has returned to the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands as the photographer behind @hulettphotography. Together with his son, John, he brings a calm, friendly presence that feels easy to trust. They are new to the local wedding circle, but not new to the care and discipline wedding photography asks for.
ㅤ
His support starts before the wedding. Colin helps couples think through what they want from their photographs, offers guidance around photo lists and timelines, and uses engagement shoots to ease nerves for those who feel camera shy.
ㅤ
On the day, he understands the balance couples often need. He can be quietly unobtrusive during the ceremony, catching moments without people noticing, then step in with gentle direction when family photographs, portraits or timing need a steady hand.
ㅤ
Clients describe feeling relaxed, comfortable and looked after, and also mention quick turnaround, beautifully delivered images and albums designed to retell the story in a way that brings the day back again.
ㅤ
Hulett Photography’s own wording says it beautifully: photography for those who value story over image. The final gallery is not just about individual photographs, but about the wedding day being retold with care, warmth and continuity.
ㅤ
For couples who want a personable, organised photographer who is unobtrusive when needed and gently in control when it counts, Hulett Photography is a lovely choice. Colin brings experience, kindness and a story-first approach to wedding photography.

PHOTO AND FILM | Alida Campbell brings heart, humo

PHOTO AND FILM | Alida Campbell brings heart, humour and extraordinary light into wedding photography and is a beautiful fit for couples who want to feel relaxed, confident and fully themselves in front of the camera.

Based in Empangeni and travelling across KZN, @elysianphotography19 is led by Alida, a photographer with a vibrant, people-centred style and a love for the spontaneous moments that make a wedding day feel alive.

She is outgoing, quirky, kind, full of energy and deeply invested in her couples. Alida arrives with skill and presence, becoming part of the wedding day team: helping people feel comfortable, hyping them when needed, easing nerves, and making photography something to enjoy.

Her work has a distinct warmth. Bridal portraits feel elegant and full of life. Ceremony images hold emotion and atmosphere. Flat lays and details are beautifully composed, and her understanding of light is exceptional. Her images glow in a way that feels intentional from the moment she takes the photograph, not forced in the edit.

Alida describes her style as documentary and lifestyle photography, with vibrant, warm tones that create timeless, elegant images. That is where her work lands: real and expressive, but still polished.

Clients often say how comfortable she makes them feel. Shy couples relax. Stressed brides feel gorgeous and confident. Windy conditions still become beautiful photographs. Moments couples did not know they wanted captured often become favourites.

For couples who want wedding photography that feels warm, vibrant, heartfelt and exquisitely lit, Elysian Photography is an exceptional choice. Alida brings technical skill, creative instinct and full-hearted investment, creating images that feel joyful, elegant and deeply alive.

PHOTO AND FILM | Chris McCabe brings a generous, happy energy to wedding photography. He helps people relax and still knows exactly when to look for the shot that makes everyone stop and stare.
ㅤ
Based in Hillcrest and the Midlands, Chris is a Durban-based wedding photographer with 17+ years of experience and a love for people, creativity, beautiful light and the moments that happen when everyone starts to relax. Outgoing and easy to connect with, he makes the photography feel comfortable and fun.
ㅤ
His wife, Nikki, photographs alongside him, and together they make a lovely team. While Chris watches for light, emotion, laughter and movement, Nikki is nearby helping with practical details: a veil, a dress, a little straightening, a little reassurance. It leaves couples feeling looked after while the day stays joyful and natural.
ㅤ
Chris’s work has life in it. He looks for what he calls the “moment within a moment”: a shared glance, a parent’s tear, loud laughter from the bridal party, or the split second when a couple forgets about the camera and enjoys each other.
ㅤ
He also loves a creative shot: waves, movement, colour, fairy lights, backlighting, a playful idea, a little drama. If a couple is keen to try something outside the usual wedding frame, Chris has the confidence and lighting skill to make it work beautifully.
ㅤ
This is where personality and technical ability meet. He brings fun to ease nerves, direction to keep things moving, and experience to know when light, setting and feeling are lining up for something memorable.
ㅤ
For couples who want wedding photography that feels joyful, creative and full of personality, @chris_mccabe_photography is a beautiful fit. His images carry warmth, movement, emotional timing and light-led drama.

PHOTO AND FILM | There is real confidence in choos

PHOTO AND FILM | There is real confidence in choosing a photo and film team that knows how weddings move.
ㅤ
The light changing faster than expected. The ceremony running late. The family photographs that need to be done well. The creative shot that only works if someone sees it in time.
ㅤ
That experience is a key part of what @conwayphotoandfilmsa brings to a wedding day.
ㅤ
Led by Wade Conway, Conway Photo & Film is a creative KwaZulu-Natal team offering photography and videography under one roof. With 15+ years in business and more than 1500 weddings photographed, they have worked across the KZN wedding circuit extensively, from Durban and the coast to the Midlands and Drakensberg.
ㅤ
That breadth brings reassurance. Conway understands many of the province’s leading wedding venues, how the light behaves, and how to move through the day with confidence.
ㅤ
Their style sits between modern and timeless. The work has a creative, slightly edgy quality, with rich, dramatic edits and strong natural light, while still respecting the classic moments that need care.
ㅤ
Their approach allows room for both direction and honesty. Portraits are guided where needed, giving couples images that feel intentional and cinematic. Then the team steps back for the laughter, emotion, movement and unscripted moments that give the gallery and film their feeling.
ㅤ
Having photography and videography within one team is a real benefit: one visual approach, one rhythm on the day, and a team that already knows how to work together across stills and film.
ㅤ
For couples who want wedding coverage that feels current, confident and creatively handled, Conway Photo & Film is a strong choice, bringing together experience, venue knowledge, natural-light skill and a modern eye.
