“What a brilliant artist! 2019 photographer of the year, Ruan's work is absolutely amazing. We stalked him on Instagram and were blown away by his work. He amazed us even more at our wedding and every time we look at our photos, it's like reliving our most special day. Not only is he an absolutely talented artist, but also an amazing human being. He made us feel so comfortable from the moment we met him and throughout our photoshoot. A perfect gentleman. Will definitely recommend him for any event!”

“Ruan Redelinghuys photographed our intimate elopement wedding at Botlierskop Private Game Reserve in May. I had seen some of Ruan's photos online and was adamant that we needed him as our photographer. We originally had planned to have our wedding on the 5th, however Ruan was not available that day. I insisted we had no choice but to move the wedding to the 4th in order for him to capture our special day. I am SO glad we changed arrangements to include him. He was absolutely amazing! He captured our day even more beautifully than we had hoped. Every photo is a masterpiece. He was so great to work with, super friendly and really helped us feel at ease. His elopement packages are brilliant value.”

A recommendation is merely not enough to thank Ruan for the incredible experience and out of this world wedding images we received.”
