Photography: Zandri Sawma

I am the owner and lead photographer of Frames and Freckles. I photograph weddings, lifestyle sessions, and meaningful events across South Africa.

My approach is calm and intentional. I focus on genuine connection, guiding when needed and stepping back when moments speak for themselves. I care deeply about how your day feels, not just how it looks.

I’m not just there to capture your memories. I’m there to walk them with you

Videography: John-Mark Stols

The art of the unseen. As the day unfolds, I focus on the moments happening in the margins. With a discreet, observant presence, I capture raw emotion and honest energy, crafting a film that feels natural, alive, and true to your story.

An investment in keeping your wedding day alive, long after it’s passed.

The moments that matter most

Capturing Your Story

No one wants their photographer to leave their wedding day early. Your wedding day is not divided into hours. I offer one exclusive wedding experience that includes full day coverage, from the first moments of getting ready to the celebration as the day unfolds. This ensures your story is captured in its entirety, without rushing, restrictions, or watching the clock.

Wedding Experience

A full-day experience that captures your wedding story completely, from preparation to celebration, with presence and intention.

Lifestyle Sessions

Sessions that capture authentic moments and real connection, allowing life’s quieter milestones to unfold naturally.

Special Event Coverage

Candid, unobtrusive coverage that documents meaningful interactions, atmosphere, and the flow of your event as it happens

The Journey

  • The Consultation

    Step 1

    We begin with a coffee or a call to discuss your vision for your wedding, lifestyle, or event. This is about connecting as humans because I will be by your side for your entire day. Feeling comfortable and aligned is essential for a partnership built on trust and presence. During this conversation, we also explore optional add-ons to enhance your experience and establish what best fits your needs.

  • Curated Proposal

    Step 2

    After our consultation, I create a bespoke proposal designed around your full wedding day. This includes example timelines, gallery previews, and any add-ons we discussed to enhance your story. Together, we review it to ensure every detail is intentional, setting the stage for a seamless, stress-free day.

  • Officially Booked

    Step 3

    Once you are happy with your proposal we finalize the agreement and deposit to reserve your date exclusively on my calendar. From this moment you have my full support, guidance, and presence as we prepare to capture your wedding story in its entirety.
