South African Wedding Photographer
Capturing light-filled moments, genuine connection, and the quiet in-between.
Capturing Moments Since 2012
Hi, I’m Mari
the heart behind Tales of Light.
I document weddings and love stories with an intentional approach, focusing on emotion, connection, and the beauty that unfolds naturally when you’re fully present.
With over 300 weddings photographed, I believe your photos should feel honest, timeless, and deeply personal - a true reflection of your day as it felt.
A warm and intentional photography experience
I work intuitively and with intention, giving moments space to unfold naturally, while gently guiding when it’s needed. My style is warm and light-filled, rooted in real emotion, atmosphere, and honest connection.
If you’re drawn to photographs that feel natural, romantic, and deeply felt, images that carry both softness and energy, you’re in the right place.
