Schantél Merwé Photography

My name is Schantel Merwe and I'm an international lifestyle photographer. I'm a lover of God, I love my husband, my beautiful daughters, farm life, my camera and people. My mind literally thinks in images. I remember writing math exams in school, and remembering the picture of the formula before concluding the sum. This proves why I never became a math genius but rather a photographer. Photography is my passion and has always been, especially people's photography. Weddings are my favorite and I have been in the wedding industry for over 11 years, traveling to the US, London, Germany and Greece for sessions. My style can be described as fine art, lifestyle, natural-light photography with an elegant, fun twist. I have recently started playing with film again, to give my work an added artistic point of view, and to give my clients more options. To me my clients are potential friends and I become so involved with their wedding-day, that I get emotional when paging through their albums or slideshows afterwards. This is why many of my clients book me for family, newborn and other photography sessions afterwards. So, if you do like my style and what I stand for, brace yourself because your photo session will be something that you remember forever!
