Hi, I’m Etienne, a Wedding photographer based in Western Cape

Every Moment, beautifully captured

Hello there! I'm a passionate photographer and videographer Etienne Botha from Villiersdorp, South Africa! My purpose and belief is deeply rooted in my passion for allowing your wedding day to be about cherishing genuine, unscripted moments filled with natural beauty. I firmly believe that your day should be free from the pressure of staged poses, enabling you to fully revel in the joy of the occasion.

I believe that wedding photos and videos should be captured naturally - because real moments matter most
