Why Couples Choose Cape Town
The Western Cape has become one of the world’s most sought-after destination wedding locations — and it’s easy to see why. World-class wine estates, mountain backdrops, ocean views, and some of the most beautiful light you’ll photograph anywhere.
Stellenbosch Wine Estates
Babylonstoren, Boschendal, Delaire Graff, Tokara, Spier, Holden Manz — vineyard settings with mountain backdrops and golden-hour light that photographs beautifully in any season.
Franschhoek Valley
Grande Provence, La Motte, Mont Rochelle, La Residence — the “French corner” of the Winelands, with European charm and dramatic mountain valley views.
Constantia & Cape Town
Steenberg, Buitenverwachting, Groot Constantia — historic estates within 20 minutes of the city. For city venues: The Table Bay Hotel, Cavalli, and Cape Town’s iconic harbour settings.
Hermanus & Overberg
Die Woud, Stanford Valley — dramatic fynbos and coastal landscapes for couples who want something wilder than a wine estate. Whale season (August–November) is spectacular.
Practical Information
Pricing in ZAR
All packages are priced in South African Rand. For most international couples this works out favourably — I’m happy to provide a ZAR amount alongside a USD, GBP or EUR equivalent for your budgeting.
Booking Deposit
A 20% deposit of your total package value holds your date. Contracts and payment are handled digitally — no need to be in Cape Town to confirm your booking.
Travel Policy
Western Cape travel is included in all packages. For venues further afield or destinations requiring flights, I provide a travel quote upfront — no surprises in the final invoice.
Gallery Delivery
Your full gallery is delivered via Smash — a download link accessible from anywhere in the world, in full resolution. No discs, no postage, no delays crossing borders.
“We organised our entire Stellenbosch wedding from the UK. Riekert was incredible to work with remotely — responsive, reassuring, and totally reliable.”
