We're Werner and Sanli, a husband-and-wife wedding photographer and videographer team based in Cape Town. For over nine years we've photographed and filmed weddings across Cape Town and the Winelands, from Stellenbosch and Franschhoek to Paarl and Wellington.


Two creative brains, one shared vision: the same team shoots your photos and your film, so both tell one story. Our style is natural and timeless, with gentle direction so you never feel too posed or uncomfortbale, and we'll be the calm in your corner from the first planning call to the last dance.

Selected packages include sneak peeks within 24 hours.

Photography, film, or both

Every wedding is different, so choose the coverage that fits your day. Whichever you pick, you get the same two people and the same natural, timeless style.

Wedding photography

 

Natural, timeless photos with true-to-life colour, from getting ready to the last dance, and gentle direction so you never feel posed.

Wedding films

 

A cinematic film of your day, with your vows, speeches and the sounds you'll want to hear again.

Photo + film

 

One team for both, so your photos and film share the same light and the same story, and you deal with one set of people on the day.

jacques + donnay

I can gladly recommend Adorn Photography & Film to any client or bride out there .


Their communication skills are outstanding! Sanli was very organised with the timeline for the wedding she worked with me. They were on time and very professional.


We have received sneak peeks in 24 hours after the wedding. This stood out to me, because usually it can take much longer to receive .


Sanli & Werner it was an absolute pleasure to work with you on Chanté & Albert’s wedding! Xx
