Capturing Life’s Beautiful Moments

Cape-Town-Photographer-Cheryl-McEwan-About-16

Hello & Welcome

I’m Cheryl, a born & bred Capetonian, full time 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.

My memories have been perfectly captured by Cheryl's photography. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer, she was efficient, friendly and a calm presence on our big day. Her photos came out crisp and full of life, I loved them all.

We had such an incredible experience having Cheryl as our photographer. She managed to capture the atmosphere of our wedding in a real and beautiful way and we were blown away by the photos.

Caitlin & Andre Dednam

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

Sarah & David Watts

I can say without a doubt that we are so glad we invited Cheryl to be part of our special day. She has given us a wedding album full of moments & memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives
