Matthew and Jessica - Engagement Photo Session

Cape Town wedding photographers dream of photo shoots like this! Jessica and Matthew chose the dog-friendly beach in Noordhoek to do their photo session. It was very important to them to incorporate their rescue dog into the shoot, which made it even more special.

Despite the misty weather and icy water, we created some pretty amazing photographs!  The mist created a unique ambiance and even though we didn’t have a great sunset, the mist made the photos look exquisite.

To incorporate their Afrikanus dog in the shoot was the best decision; their personalities came to life with man’s best friend, having the time of his life!

Jess and Matt are getting married in September 2023 at Casa Labia in Muizenberg.  Being able to finally work at a bucket list venue for me as a photographer, is like a dream come true.
