Hanno and Ivette wanted a super relaxed, fun filled wedding. That is truly the best way to describe their beach wedding. Both sides of their families was so amazing and they all made me feel like I was a close family friend, thank you!
I few word form the couple on my service as their wedding photographer:
“We are so impressed, Lynelle is fun, creative, hard working and goes the extra mile. She has a passion for photography not a lot of people have. She put so much effort into the wedding and pre-wedding shoots that we got the impression of her being in multiple places at once. We received edited photos on both occasions before we went to bed, on that same day and OMW, it is beautiful. We will definitely recommend her. We are her number one fans.”
Initially Hanno and Ivette did not book an engagement session, so I was super happy when they requested a pre wedding session for 4 days prior to their wedding day. The location was specific as Prince Albert is close to Ivette’s hart and they both have deep family roots in Prince Albert. We had a blast with the abundance of gorgeous spots and not to mention the breathtaking sunset right at the end of our session in an olive grove just outside town. Chenoa did an awesome job with Ivette’s makeup and we had the privilege to spend the even with Hanno and Ivette’s parents. Ivette’s mom have a gorgeous old fashioned, warm hearted home in the centre of Prince Albert. We were spoiled with an amazing home cooked meal! From the bottom of our hearts: Thank you to you all for an unforgettable day!

This is my second session with the VD Watt family on holiday all the way from Canada. Our first session was when little Mia was only a few month old, she has grown so much. She reminds me of a porcelain doll! It was so good to see you all again.

I never thought that a family would book a session when they do not actually want to book one. This may sound silly, but this was the case for the Maree family. I am telling you all this because I think there are a lot of people out there who want family portraits but do not want to be in front of a camera! Cornelia contacted me to book a family session since some of her friends already had sessions with me and now the Maree’s realized it was time to get some proper family portraits. When I met them at the beach it was obvious that this was going to be a ‘take it as it go’ kind off session, I loved it!! Mom and dad ended up enjoying the session more than the girls and the end result was super relaxed family moments.
I will never forget how over the moon I was when Elizabeth contacted me years back for her wedding. I often saw her before then and thought how stunning it would be to get this classic beauty in front of my camera. Well after the wedding it has been her first maternity session, Lafras’s newborn session and now expecting little Linmari. How awesome to share in such precious times, thank you!
I first met the Maartens family four years ago when I had the privilege to capture Carmen’s senior farewell portraits. Such a blessing when clients return! We started off with some formal portraits in the studio before venturing into the rain. Just love the rainy shots, thank you for being such great sports.

The images of this wedding speaks for itself.Thank you Donovan and Marike for sharing this gorgeous day with me!
Note from the bride, her words touched my heart and made me cry:
“When I started with the planning of our wedding, I had to search for all my vendors and suppliers from scratch, except one – our wedding photographer. I was already a big fan and follower on Facebook so I had no doubt in my mind that Lynelle simply had to document our special day from beginning to end. I think I might just have moved our wedding date had she not been available!
As a photography enthusiast myself I looked at her photographs as an inspiration. Her play with light and composition in her photos is always so stunning. But what really sets her apart from the rest is the emotion she captures in her images, and that is something that can never be taught.
She was such a calming energy to be around on our (sometimes stressful) wedding day. She is rarely seen but always there. Professional yet she feels like someone you’ve known forever.
Lynelle, I can’t tell you how many compliments I’ve received about our photos. You made our memories all the more beautiful. Thank you!
I can’t wait to return for more special life moments captured in your uniquely stunning, talented way.”
I was once again such a privilege to work with some of our leading vendors:
