About2 Blue.jpg

Hey, I’m Louw

I’m a Johannesburg-based wedding photographer, a devoted dad and husband, and a lifelong music lover—especially the works of David Bowie, The Lumineers, U2, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and Leonard Cohen.

My love for photography began early, sparked by family gatherings around an old slide projector. I can still remember the click-clack of the carousel and the thrill of watching moments spring to life on the screen. Those evenings planted the seed for what has become my greatest passion—capturing real, meaningful moments.

I specialise in documentary-style wedding photography, telling the story of your day through authentic images filled with genuine emotion. The couple shoot is a beautiful part of your wedding day — a quiet pause where the two of you can simply be together. I’ll guide you gently through the process so it feels natural and effortless, helping you stay relaxed, connected, and fully present while I capture images that reflect your genuine connection.

Capturing Authentic Moments

Memories hold a special place in our hearts because they transport us back to specific moments in time. Documentary photography captures these genuine memories by documenting the real events of your day. While most weddings are spent capturing authentic, unposed moments, I’m also there to guide you through any formal parts of the day, ensuring you feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera.

Natural, storytelling wedding photography.

For intimate weddings, elopements, or destination weddings, please get in touch so we can tailor a package specifically to your needs and preferences.

 FAQ


where are you based?

I am based in Johannesburg. Although I grew up in Pretoria, I have called Johannesburg home for over 25 years.

How long have you been a photographer?

I began my photography journey in my early twenties. I bought my first SLR film camera in 1994 and my first DSLR (digital) camera in 2004. I started specialising in wedding photography in 2019 and have truly enjoyed it ever since. I have photographed over 100 weddings, and I loved the unique experience and challenges of each one as no 2 weddings are the same.

hOW & when WILL WE RECEIVE OUR IMAGES?

You will receive your images through a digital online gallery. This gallery will provide you with a link and password, allowing you to download the images in both high resolution and a slightly smaller resolution suitable for social media. Additionally, you can share this gallery link with family and friends if you wish.

You will receive your images between 6 - 9 weeks after your wedding, depending on the season. My Diamond Package has a turnaround time of only 4 - 6 weeks.

hOW do we book you for our wedding?

There is a wedding photography contract to be completed and signed with a 50% reservation retainer payable. The balance is due 1 month before your wedding.
