Our approach is about capturing emotion over perfection, creating images that will still move you decades from now.

Testimonials

Jun & Sera, Singapore

"We are a couple from Singapore. In Oct 2025 we engaged with Amy and Francois for a safari theme pre-wedding shoot after coming across their stunning work on Instagram. They were so spontaneous, accommodating and travelled to Kruger for a half day shoot! We had so much fun shooting and filming!! It was such an stress-free experience for us!! Amy and Francois were constantly prompting candid/posed shots and hyping things for us! We enjoyed ourselves immensely during the entire process. The sun was pretty harsh on the photoshoot day. Till this date, I still can’t believe how the photos and video turned out!!! Amy and Francois, you guys SLAYED and DELIVERED.  Every single photo is PERFECTION! And the video is absolutely a piece of art on its own!!!! you guys are the best decision we’ve made during our Africa safari trip!!! Thank you for the memories made."

Testimonials

Leone & Hendrie, SA

I truly can’t say enough good things about Ballantyne Weddings. Our wedding day was cold and rainy, yet Amy and her husband François were absolute rays of sunshine. From the moment they arrived, their energy lifted the entire day. They’re not only exceptionally talented photographers, but genuinely wonderful people who bring such a positive and calming presence with them.


Despite the weather, they made everything feel magical. They knew exactly how to work with the light and the rain to create something truly stunning, and our photos are beyond beautiful. They captured our day with incredible passion and positivity—even with Amy being around nine months pregnant at the time.


If you’re considering booking Ballantyne Weddings, do it. You won’t just receive breathtaking photos; you’ll enjoy a beautiful experience with two people who clearly love what they do and care deeply about making your day unforgettable.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do you travel for destination weddings?

For weddings outside our local area (Nelspruit), travel is charged at a rough rate of R6 per km (2027) to and from the venue, with accommodation arranged ahead of time for one or two nights, depending on distance and timing. We’ll always communicate this clearly so there are no surprises.

2. How long should we expect to wait for our photos & video?

Sneak peeks are delivered within 5 days after your wedding, followed by a sneak preview of around 100–200 photos within 3-4 weeks.


Your full gallery and final videos are then completed within 10–12 weeks, allowing every detail to be carefully edited and perfected before delivery.

3. Do you help with outfits and location planning for engagement sessions?

Absolutely. You’ll get access to my location + prep guide for Nelspruit

area, plus I’m always here to answer any other questions or ideas you

might have around the engagement session.

The process is simple,

It’s super quick and easy, just the basics so we can check availability.


2. Choose your package
