We are a husband and wife team of photographers who specialise in wedding, family, couple, newborn and event photography.
We are unique in that with all our packages you always obtain the services of two photographers for the price of one. We also prefer a more relaxed style of shooting photos which makes you feel more comfortable in front of the camera and in turn ensures a natural end product.

Wedding Photography
The excellent service, professionalism and advice I received from husband and wife team Johan and Naomi from HammesPhotography was amazing and I would recommend them to anyone on the lookout for photographers to contact them. Their pictures were beautiful. You can't go wrong! More...
What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
There are so many aspects that make up a beautiful out of the ordinary photograph. Here are a few...
Composition - the rule of thirds and symmetry is important but other elements that are important include negative space, leading lines, depth of field, and framing.
Emotion - As human beings we are drawn to emotion. Whether we’re laughing or crying, emotion ties each and everyone of us together. Images that capture genuine displays of emotion often prove timeless, and these meaningful moments will always capture attention.
Simple Storytelling - Some of the greatest images simply tell a story rather than relying on great composition or featuring other unique characteristics, they instead focus on telling the story of the moment.
Attention To Detail - In modern times everything is about speed and efficiency and images that capture overlooked detail can be enough to make someone stop to smell the roses. While pictures of unique and unseen detail is amazing and breathtaking, you can often get the same reaction out of your audience by simply shooting the detail in everyday life.
Unique lighting and colour - Great lighting can turn a mundane scene into an amazingly colorful photo full of texture and life. We can control and create unique lighting on our own off camera lighting such as flashes.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
Here are a few typical questions that we would ask our clients:
What is the emotion, feeling, vibe and story you want to portray in your images? Is it fun, playful, mysterious, cute, serious etc?
Tell us a bit about the people who will future most on your photos?
Do you want the people in your photos to be predominately posed or natural or a combination of both?
Tell us about the timeline of your special day, if applicable?
What do you want to stay away from? Are there any clichés that you want to avoid?
What Are the Photos For?
When Do You Need Them?
What Format and Size?
Preferred Delivery Method?
What do you love most about your job?
We are people persons, so we love meeting up with my clients and photographing them with their loved ones. We also love developing relationships with my clients. Our clients trust us. They trust us to document their special day, whether it's a wedding or a family portrait.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Our children are old enough to take care of themselves and we suddenly realised that we have ample time and freedom to spend more time on photography, which use to be just a hobby years ago. We also noticed that our "business" does not feel like work because we enjoy meeting new people and producing good quality images and providing good service to our clients has become second nature to us.
Why should our clients choose you?
We render excellent and prompt service and our references will vouch for this. Our end product compares with the best photographers out there and we guarantee that you will have an enjoyable fun time with us.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
We wear masks when we meet our clients and during photo sessions, especially when close up photos are taken.
