Elopements in South Africa

A little wilder.
A little closer.

A promise, an extraordinary place, and the freedom to make this day entirely your own.

Room to be
yourselves.

Whether you’re imagining vows beside the sea or a quiet celebration surrounded by nature, an elopement lets you follow what matters to you.

I bring a landscape photographer’s eye and a documentary approach to the day, with space for real moments and the place around you.

Talk to me about your elopement

A story from Robberg.

A few things to dream about.

Your kind of place

A stretch of coastline, a forest, a view you love. Start with somewhere that means something to you.

Your kind of day

A short walk or a longer adventure, just the two of you or a few of your favourite people.

Room for the light

We’ll talk about the setting and timing together, with a little flexibility for the weather.

A few elopement questions.

Can we elope along the Garden Route?

The Garden Route can be the setting for an intimate celebration. Jess and Lara’s Robberg gallery shows one real example. Share your location ideas, who is coming and how much walking you want to do.

Is the photography package also a wedding-planning service?

Start by discussing photography coverage and the location. Confirm separately who will handle the ceremony, venue or location permissions and any other suppliers; do not assume they are included in photography.

What about access and the weather?

Check the current requirements with the venue or location manager, and discuss a practical alternative for poor weather. We will need to consider the route, footwear and timing as well as the view.

How much coverage do we need?

That depends on the ceremony, travel and the outing you have in mind. Send those details for a tailored photography recommendation and current pricing.

In their words

MY OH MY! After following Sharyn’s work for a few years, we were lucky enough to win a shoot with her in Cape Town.
