Jean-Pierre – Acclaimed wedding photographer, artist, and creative explorer
How did I become an award-winning wedding photographer? Through a curiosity for love and a vision for happily ever after. In my eyes, weddings are full of life. I love it! And through my lens I am able to beautifully, masterfully capture those decisive moments, moments of love, laughter, tears and joy, moments with family and friends that you never want to forget, that you never need forget. As an acclaimed photographer, my job is to give you a record of your wedding day, to deliver iconic images that stay true to your love and that you can carry in your heart forever.
From Cape Town, South Africa to all around the globe, I have been a wedding photographer for over ten years, shooting over 400 weddings in that time. Experience has given me an intimate understanding of weddings, the people involved, the emotions, the flow, the energy and the timings. My intuition is to see what others may miss and to capture those defining moments that could otherwise be lost. This is split second timing in emotion and composition, seeing and shaping light, getting the perfect, most flattering angle, focusing on the finer details. I believe every wedding is unique and so I am always exploring and looking for that photograph that I haven't even seen yet!
I have been invited as wedding photographer for weddings in San Francisco, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Greece, Amsterdam, Ireland, UK, Zimbabwe and all over South Africa. My portfolio also includes celebrity weddings such as Trevor Manual, Nicole Fox, Kerry McGregor and Neil Mckenzie.
