Bernard Pretorius Photography

Ansel Adams said " You don't take a photograph, you make it". These words that inspire me to work with you to create beautiful images that you will be proud to display on your living room wall for years to come. Not only because they picture you on your special day, but because they are art.

My style is mostly ‘reportage' wedding photography, capturing events as they unfold in an unobtrusive way. I mix this with contemporary and relaxed couple portraits. Light plays a crucial part in creating great images and I use a combination of natural ambient light and supplemental lighting to produce a variety of images, from the soft and romantic to the dramatic and high-impact. I pride myself in conducting extensive research into your venues and surrounding areas to get the best and most beautiful results for you, focusing on the direction of available light during key moments of your wedding day.
