Herno & Nina tied the knot at one of my favorite places in South Africa – Emily Moon River Lodge – what a place?! The venue overlooks the Bitou River with the most breathtaking views of the mountains and wetlands. It was an intimate small wedding with only their closest family and friends attending the beautiful celebration. I love capturing intimate affairs like this one – it’s always so wonderful to see the couple being able to connect with each one of their guests. This day inspired me by seeing how closely knit everyone in their circles is and that…

“After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.”
Choosing your wedding photographer is a big deal, and I feel it is essential to feel comfortable with the person spending so much time with you on your big day. So on that note, my name is Skillie and I’ve always been obsessed with stories since I’ve been a child. I got introduced to the medium of photography at the age of 14 and my love for taking pictures has grown immensely ever since! Something very magical happens inside of me when I get to capture moments of this beautiful, yet crazy life we are all a part of.
When I’m not behind the camera, I’m a dad of three kids whom I love to the ends of the universe – the journey of being a dad shapes and inspires me every day. I love hanging out with my kids and creating memories with them. I love reading, writing, making music, exercising, soccer, and sushi. I also love teaching and sharing my skills and knowledge with others. SHARE IN OUR STORY

What you'll remember
As human beings, we are wired to connect with memories of pure emotion and depth. When you book a photographer, you need to know what they aim to capture for you. You need to stop and ask yourself - is what they capture going to be relevant in 20 years from now? Will my kids, and grandchildren look through my wedding shots and see the essence of who we are, and were when we got married?
Capturing moments at weddings of a couple and their loved ones is a massive privilege for me. I genuinely believe that we as humans discover a whole new level of beauty when we see the magic in the small things around us – every moment matters – big or small – and I absolutely love capturing those raw and real memories for people. When I’m shooting a wedding, it’s one of the most fulfilling spaces in which I find myself.
