I highly recommend IdoLife photography. They are very helpful, they assisted me with sorting out the wedding timeline which took a lot of the stress away (to be able to capture all important moments). They made me and my husband feel very comfortable and the photos came out looking beautiful!! More...

If you want photographers that go the extra mile don't even think twice. they will do everything in their power to ensure you have a amazing experience. they are very professional and yet we had a personal relationship.. my easiest 5 star review I have ever given. We did an engagement shoot and did our wedding with them and we were amazed at the beautiful photos they took. I would highly recommend IdoLife we are beyond happy!! thank you IdoLife. More...

Liewe Wandi en Christo, It is a great privilege for me to write this review, from our first introduction where I met Christo I knew that you guys deliver top quality results and that you have a great passion for what you do (If you do what you love you can see it, and I saw it first hand), my first chat with Christo went so well, he made me feel so comfortable, getting to know me and Nadine as persons, what we like and do for fun, getting a feel for how we are as people in order to gauge the shoot around that was amazing, it makes it feel more than just a business transaction, for me personally it felt like chatting with a friend, I forgot about all the other cameras around me for an instance. You guys went out of your way to make photos fun, I never once noticed you looking at a watch, to me that alone speaks a 1000 words. You took what we said to hart and delivered way more than what we had expected, we can not thank you enough for that, there is this one photo of us on the beach where for a second we even forgot about the shoot, that pic alone captured everything we wanted, I know for a fact that any one wanting to use your service will not be disappointed, I truly hope that we can one day make use of your services again to capture our memories through a lens, you guys are amazing people and not just business wise, even after the fact still staying in contact, messaging here and there, no where else will any one be able to get such personal service. It is a great privilege for me to be able to brag about the pictures and memories you caught for us on our beautiful day, from the bottom of my hart, to the top of the mountain, thank you so so much.

Myself and my husband are incredibly happy with our photos from our special day. Wandi, Christo & Steve were exceptional in guiding & supporting us. Photos were beautifully taken, and it was more than we ever imagined. It was a wonderful experience and would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone. More...

When the weather forecast is showing rain and all you wanted was the perfect sunshine day for the perfect sunset and photos too last, you immediately feel demotivated for it. ...However not with Christo, he made me now believe that pictures in cloudy rain weather are even better! Thank you for the most beautiful shots to capture my special birthday and to have lasting memories of it. He is amazing at interacting with you during shoots and making you feel at ease, even if you haven't done any photoshoot in your life you will instantly become a model!!! Thank you so much and it is amazing to experience a person passionate about what he is doing, and the excitement for the next shot! More...

IdoLife lifestyle photography in Stellenbosch did a wonderful newborn shoot for our baby. The husband and wife duo comes highly recommended, and they did such an amazing job accommodating all of our needs. They were very professional, and even brought along all of their own props to give us the most gorgeous pictures of our newborn that we will treasure forever. A wonderful experience and memories for the whole family. More...

Our photoshoot with Christo from IdoLife_photography was a great experience. We haven't had pictures taken since our wedding 7 years ago. Christo made us feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. The results were absolutely beautiful pictures that captured us as a couple so well. I am in love with our pictures.

We had so much fun with Christo from Idolife_photography during the 2 shoots and loved the pictures, especially the attention to detail. He did a baby shoot for us when our daughter was 9 months old as well as a mother-and-daughter shoot on my birthday which he kindly incorporated with a cake smash shoot as my daughter just turned 1. We have a number of the pics canvassed in our home and can't wait for the next shoot!! Highly recommended!! More...
