I’m Cheryl, a born & bred Capetonian, full time wedding and lifestyle photographer, mamma to my little dude and self-confessed sushi addict. A general all round lover of life, adventures, awesome people and great food.

My love for photography started many years ago. From an early age, photos and the memories they hold sparked something within me and only many years later while I was travelling abroad, did that spark ignite into something I feel privileged enough to now call my career.

Thank you for visiting my site, I hope you enjoy looking through my images and are captivated by all the joy and real moments within them.

Cheryl is just an amazing person, always positive, happy and encouraging. It was a pleasure to have her be part of our wedding day and I would encourage anyone to make her part of theirs. Her work speaks for itself, but even after looking through her photography portfolio she still managed to exceed my expectations. I will definitely be using Cheryl again in the future!
