I have always been fascinated with exploration, particularly in its golden age in our history. One that is very compelling to me was the discovery of the tip of Africa, when a series of crucial events had forced explorers to find routes to the east around unchartered oceans. Bartolomeu Dias discovered the tip of Africa after treacherously followed the coast of the continent and named it the Cape of Good Hope.

Today’s feature brings us to this very iconic location. Not only was my dream of visiting The Cape of Good Hope got realized, but I was actually able to do it while pursuing a passion that has defined my life the most – photographing amazing couples and their love for one another.

I must say that it is even extra special to have the experience with Shahanie and Austin. These two are connected to me in many different ways and to be able to explore and shoot the wonders of South Africa with them was nothing short of me, having the time of my life.

From the Cape of Good Hope, we went on to shoot most of the country’s amazing vistas including their famed penguins of which concept, we had to tirelessly pursue, to achieve.

We are proud of this Africa pre-wedding shoot. It’s Metrophoto, it’s South Africa, and it’s with a Metrophoto bride – brides actually if you count Steph, Shahanie’s sister who went with us – all the makings of something truly distinct and elevated. Please enjoy the photos.
