Melissa van Riel

Welcome to Melissa van Riel Photography!

I'm Melissa, a passionate photographer based in Cape Town, South Africa.

I specialize in capturing the beauty and emotions of life through my lens. Whether you're looking for a wedding photographer, a portrait session, or simply want to capture the moments of your everyday life, I'm here to help.

I believe that photography is not just about taking pictures, but about creating memories that will last a lifetime. I strive to capture the unique essence of each person, couple, or family I work with, and to create images that tell their story.

My approach to photography is relaxed and natural. I want you to feel comfortable in front of the camera, and to enjoy the experience of having your picture taken. I work with natural light as much as possible, and prefer to shoot on location rather than in a studio. This allows me to capture the beauty of the world around us, and to create images that are truly unique.

I would love to work with you to create beautiful images that you will cherish for years to come. Whether you're looking for a wedding photographer, a family portrait session, or simply want to capture the beauty of your everyday life, I'm here to help. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your photography needs, or to schedule a session.
