Hi there, I’m Mariaan & Ive been photographing couples, elopements & weddings since 2009. I call Cape Town, South Africa & Koh Phangan, Thailand ‘home’ ( well, for most of the time. ) The rest of the time I travel around the world documenting tales of people doing life together.

 

Raw & real love stories make my heart race. I love when people love more & love fully. I cherish hands & holding & passion. I care deeply for people & their stories of life. If this is how you feel too, we’re probably kindred spirits.

My heart believes in union & soul mates. My work as a creative is a result of the people I got to meet & the places I’ve been. I’m humbled by the authentic projects I got to do & nothing gives me more joy than creating something timeless.

For me, it’s more about how things feel… & I want the time we spent together creating something unscripted to be an abundant experience of emotions. I tell stories with care & I feel so lucky to do work that I love. I embrace a natural light, documentary & cinematic style of work. I feel humbled by the opportunities to do work in some of the most beautiful sunrises & sunsets all around the world.

It’s the moments spent with the ones we love most that live in our hearts forever. Life is a journey and every season should be documented & celebrated. I want my work to serve as a subtle reminder of YOUR life. Maybe you’ll print ‘em to put it in a frame or keep in your wallet… however you choose to use it, what I created for you will always be there.
