HELLO
Hi! I’m Ruan, your Photographer.
Passionate, Experienced, and Committed to Your Vision
Hi, I’m Ruan Redelinghuys, and photography is not just my job - it’s my passion. As someone who thrives on capturing genuine moments, I believe that your love story deserves nothing less than exceptional, heartfelt photography. I’m based in the scenic Garden Route, where I draw inspiration from nature’s beauty, and when I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me running or exploring the stunning Outeniqua Mountains. My goal? To make sure you feel comfortable, at ease, and excited about the entire experience. Let’s create magic together, one frame at a time.
Emotional Audio Slideshows
Included with most wedding package options.
Take your wedding memories to the next level with captivating audio slideshows. By combining your most cherished photographs with meaningful music and audio excerpts from your wedding, I create a powerful narrative that brings your love story to life. Imagine hearing snippets of your vows, the laughter during speeches, and the ambient sounds of your special day - all synchronized with the incredible moments of your wedding. Audio slideshows add an extra layer of emotion, allowing you to relive the magic of your wedding every time you watch. It's more than just a slideshow; it's an immersive experience that captures the heart and soul of your celebration.
Wedding Albums & Photo Prints
Professional Printed Fine Art Wedding Photo Albums & Image Prints that reflect the memories of your wedding day, engagement or couple shoot.
Images are created to display, and Wedding Albums are the perfect way to show your wedding day to friends, family and your own kids one day. There is nothing I love seeing more than the reaction from a client when they are handed a beautiful collection of images in their own personal wedding album.
A wedding album also makes for an unforgettable gift to your spouse or family members. Imagine sharing the beautiful moments of your wedding with your children or grandchildren in the future. My albums are designed to be treasured keepsakes that will be passed down through generations.

“Ruan was my absolute first Wedding photographer of choice and planned my wedding around his availability. I simply could not compromise on a photographer and had to book the best of the best. A recommendation is merely not enough to thank Ruan for the incredible experience and out of this world wedding images we received.”

“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.”

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.
