About2 Blue.jpg

Hey, I’m Louw

I'm a Johannesburg-based photographer, a devoted dad and husband with a deep love for music—especially the works of David Bowie, The Lumineers, U2, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and Leonard Cohen.

My passion for photography started at a young age, captivated by the magic of old slide projectors at family gatherings. I was fascinated by the click-clack of the projector and the excitement of seeing those moments come to life on a screen. That early experience ignited my enduring love for images.

Specialising in documentary wedding photography, I focus on telling the story of your day through candid, unposed moments that capture genuine emotions. If you choose to include a formal couple shoot, I’ll guide you through it to ensure the process feels natural and effortless, helping you stay relaxed and present.

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 70-80% of most weddings are spent capturing authentic, unposed moments, I’m also here 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 celebrations, 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. It is always a thrill to meet the couples and to experience and capture their joy and love on their big day.

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.

What other types of photography do you offer besides weddings?

While my primary focus is on weddings and couple photography, I also specialise in a variety of other events and functions. My services include:

  • Social Events: From birthdays and engagements to anniversaries and themed parties, I capture the special moments of your personal celebrations.

  • Corporate Functions: Whether it's a large outdoor event or a more intimate business gathering, I provide professional coverage for conferences, seminars, and corporate parties.

  • Other Events: I also handle a range of other events such as product launches, charity functions, and any occasion where memorable moments need to be captured.

If you have a specific event or type of shoot in mind, feel free to reach out to discuss how I can help make your occasion unforgettable!
