Romantic Beach Couple Photo Shoot in Glentana near George.

  • “I engaged with Ruan after finding his profile online to take photos of my proposal. His engagement was very professional, prompt and made it feel like we were a team planning the proposal together! On the day of the shoot, we were still doing last minute planning and he was very flexible with the last minute changes. We had a lovely photoshoot after the proposal and it made for a memorable experience for my fiancée and I. The photos are of superior quality. I am very grateful I found him and would 100% recommend him!”

    Tim & Grace - Herolds Bay, 2024

  • “Ruan Redelinghuys is an incredible photographer! He is funny, caring, respectful, open to ideas, super talented, and THE BEST in the business. We couldn't believe our eyes the moment we saw our wedding photos. It is absolutely beautiful. The way Ruan captures nature and the surroundings and makes it come "alive" in a photo behind us, is something to see. He works in a way that no one notices him, but in the end, you can clearly see how he captured every single special moment without us realizing he was there. We are in love with your work, Ruan! Thank you so much. We HIGHLY recommend Ruan Redelinghuys Photography.”

    Marnus & Jenny - Misty Valley, 2024

  • “Ruan was absolutely amazing in capturing our beautiful wedding day. He made sure that every detail and emotion was caught on camera. He made us feel comfortable in front of the lense and we were able to showcase our love and personalities easily and comfortably. Ruan is simply the best and I couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer to capture our special day!”

    Zeka & Cherissa - Oppie plaas Venue, 2024

  • “Ruan is unbelievably professional, talented, and genuinely a pleasure to work with. We hosted several events both indoor and outdoor, and were so thrilled with the final results. He was able to capture both spontaneous/candid moments from our event as well as spectacular posed shots that we will cherish for a lifetime. And on top of that, he is simply a wonderful person and so easy to work with.”

    David & Julia - Molenvliet, 2024

  • “Very few artists can both understand the expectations of their client and execute their own vision so successfully. Ruan created an atmosphere of complete comfort and engaged with us so effectively we will likely never have better photos of ourselves in our lifetime. We were stunned at the final result and would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who want timeless gorgeous photos to reminisce and enjoy for ever.”

    Shaun & Andrew - Blackwaters River Lodge, 2023

  • “Wow wow wow!! Words fail me...Ruan, your dedication and commitment to ensuring that our wedding photographs were spectacular was just amazing. We really don't know how to thank you enough. We have the most beautiful memories of the most special day of our lives due to you and your creativity. Thank you so much!! Megan and Brian Xxx”

    Brian & Megan - Alkira Lodge, 2022

  • “We reached out to Ruan based on the recommendation from Tsala Treetop Lodges for capturing our proposal, and from our initial contact to the final results, Ruan has proven himself as a true professional! The quality of the pictures is outstanding, and we are thrilled that he beautifully captured this significant moment for us. I specifically asked Ruan to shoot the proposal while respecting our privacy, and he did so impeccably. We wholeheartedly recommend Ruan for his excellent work. Thank you, Ruan, for the exceptional job!”
