Duane Smith Photography

South Africa

My name is Duane. I am a wedding & elopement photographer, located in Cape Town, South Africa.

Between the years 2007-2009, I was introduced to the wedding industry (the wedding industry in South Africa has some talent! Seriously so stoked to be part of it) by covering a few friends’ weddings._x000D_ Naturally, I approached it with the Documentary, unscripted way I had been photographing in my personal life.  Quickly I realized that weddings can be photographed in a way that is relaxed, non-directed, moment moment-focused. This just resonated with me as a photographer… Fast forward to 2010 and I find myself doing this full time.  I’ve had the great pleasure & honour to witness and capture some of the most beautiful & honest moments that take place between couples, families & friends._x000D_ Over the years, my experience has taught me to focus on the real stuff at weddings, to photograph the moments you often miss on the day, and to give you the joy of reliving those moments together again._x000D_ My Approach to your wedding day will be easygoing, observant & made personal to ensure the best parts of you (inside & out) as a couple are photographed I look forward to connecting with you.
