ABOUT ME
MEET nina
For over a decade, I've been documenting weddings across South Africa and around the world, creating photographs that feel honest, timeless, and deeply personal.
My work has been featured in publications including Vogue, Over The Moon, and Junebug Weddings.
Today, I photograph a limited number of weddings each year, allowing every celebration the time, care, and creative attention it deserves.
Based in Cape Town, I work alongside my husband, Herno— the filmmaker behind Other Half Films. Together, we offer photography and film for couples looking for a seamless experience, while also continuing to work independently with other creatives we admire.
I'm drawn to the moments that can't be planned: the quiet glance across the room, the embrace that holds a little longer than expected, the laughter that catches everyone by surprise. Alongside those moments, I bring a sensitive editorial eye, creating photographs that feel effortless, refined, and true to the people in front of my camera.
Away from weddings, life is wonderfully ordinary. I'm happiest spending time with our little family, usually outdoors, sharing good food and a bottle of orange wine with friends, or gathered around a table long after dinner has ended. Those quiet moments remind me what photographs are really for— not simply to remember how everything looked, but how it all felt.
If that resonates with you, I'd love to hear your story.
MY journey
Every couple has a story, and one of the greatest privileges of my work is getting to know the people behind the celebration. Over the years, those stories have shaped my own. Here's a glimpse into the journey that brought me here.
2014
One couple's trust changed everything. I photographed my very first wedding and discovered the work I was meant to do.
2015
I met Herno, the love of my life. Four years later, we married in our favourite place on earth, Plettenberg Bay, surrounded by our closest family and friends.
2019
After completing my studies and documenting my 100th wedding, I took the leap into photography full-time. Around the same time, Herno launched his filmmaking career, and together we began offering a combined experience.
2022
When we welcomed our sweet son, Nikolai, into the world, we intentionally slowed down, focusing on weddings closer to home. And truthfully, there are few places as extraordinary to get married as South Africa.
2025
With our little family settled, I began documenting weddings abroad, a chapter that has taken me to some of the most beautiful places in the world.
2026
Today, I feel deeply grateful to be fully booked for 2026 and already halfway booked for 2027. If our paths are meant to cross, I'd love to hear your story.
