MEET nina
I’m Nina, a destination wedding photographer based in South Africa, documenting stories across the world.
For over a decade, I’ve dedicated myself to creating imagery that feels slow and intentional, and effortless to connect with.
My approach is rooted in authenticity, shaped with a refined, editorial edge – a place where poetic nostalgia and modern storytelling intersect.
I’m drawn to both the unposed and the artful: the fleeting gestures, the quiet exchanges, the laughter that lingers; paired with portraits shaped by light and intention. Together, they form a body of work that is heartfelt, elegant, and enduring.
Beyond photography, I’m passionate about my little family, a good glass of wine, exploring the coast, and sunny days in the garden. These simple joys fuel the way I see and capture the world: with a deep appreciation for beauty, connection, and meaning.
I believe in sincerity, artistry, and the quiet strength of deep connection. I value personal relationships, creative freedom, and the trust that allows me to tell each story with both intention and care.
If you value images that honour the natural rhythm of your day while carrying a sense of elegance and timelessness, I’d love to connect and create something unforgettable together.
– Nina
MY journey
I’ve been doing this for quite some time now and I truly love getting to know my couples and their backstory. Here’s a concentrated version of mine.

2014
One couple's trust in me kickstarted this journey - I shot my first wedding in 2014.

2015
I met Herno, the love of my life, who I went on to marry in 2019, in our favourite place on earth (Plettenberg Bay), surrounded by our closest friends and family.

2019
After (a) I finished my BSc studies, and (b) captured my 100th wedding, I went full time. We were also ready to start offering combined photography + videography packages as a husband and wife team.

2022
We took a step back to focus on local weddings (I mean, South Africa is a wonderful place to tie the knot) when we welcomed our sweet boy, Nikolai into the world.

2025
Here we are! It makes my heart so full to be able to say that I'm fully booked out for 2025 and about halfway booked for 2026. I still have a few dates open so you’re welcome to reach out!
