What to expect
Your Umhlanga wedding.
Portraits by the sea
The promenade, the lighthouse and the rocks along the beach make lovely backdrops for your couple portraits.
One local tip: the sun sets behind the land, not over the sea. That means the beach is in soft, gentle light in the late afternoon, which is lovely on skin. We usually plan portraits for the hour before sunset, when it's cooler and nobody is squinting.
Planning for wind and humidity
Umhlanga can be breezy, especially in the afternoon. We'll suggest a quick plan for veils and hair, and pick sheltered spots if the wind picks up. On hot, humid days we keep outdoor photos short so you stay fresh for the reception.
If you're getting ready in a hotel suite, open the curtains — sea-facing rooms give beautiful, soft light for getting-ready photos.
Your Umhlanga wedding, start to finish
We capture the whole story: getting ready, your details, the ceremony, family photos, portraits by the sea, and the speeches and dancing at your reception. Add a wedding film and you'll hear the waves and your vows again for years to come.
Our full-day wedding packages run from R18 500 to R38 000. Essence, our full-day photography package, starts at R18 500; Story (photo + film) is R24 500 and Relive (photo + film) is R38 000.

Questions couples ask
Good to know.
Can we have our wedding photos on Umhlanga beach?
Yes, the beach and promenade are a short walk from most Umhlanga hotels. We'll plan the best time and spot so you get beautiful photos without being away from your guests for long.
What time is best for beach wedding photos in Umhlanga?
The hour before sunset is usually best. The sun sets behind the land, so the beach is in soft light, it's cooler, and there are fewer people around.
