CVP Photography

Hi, I am Chanté. 

I'M A WEDDING & LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHER FROM SUNNY CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA THAT MOVED TO THE GORGEOUS COUNTRYSIDE OF NORTHERN IRELAND 2 YEARS AGO. I RESIDE IN THIS BEAUTIFUL LITTLE TOWN JUST OUTSIDE OF DERRY BUT AM HAPPY TO TRAVEL WHEREVER YOUR LOVE TAKES US. I'VE BEEN A FULL TIME PHOTOGRAPHER FOR OVER 5 YEARS AND HAVE DOCUMENTED OVER 50 WEDDINGS DURING THIS TIME. I TAKE THE UTMOST CARE IN PRESERVING YOUR SPECIAL DAY AND PRIDE MYSELF IN INVESTING AS MUCH TIME AS POSSIBLE INTO YOUR JOURNEY TO BE MORE OF A FRIEND TO YOU AND YOUR SOON TO BE OTHER HALF THAN SOMEONE WHO YOU HAVE HIRED FOR THE DAY. MY MISSION IS TO HELP YOU SHOW THE TRUEST VERSION OF YOURSELF BY CAPTURING YOUR INDIVIDUALITY, RAW BEAUTY AND GROWTH AS A COUPLE WITH NO FILTERS! I TAKE THE TIME TO BE PRESENT, NOTICE THE DETAILS AND ASSIST IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE BECAUSE BEING ENTRUSTED WITH YOUR SPECIAL MOMENTS IS AN HONOUR AND I STRIVE TO BRING YOUR LOVE TO LIFE. 

MY APPROACH TO CAPTURING YOUR WEDDING IS BY USING A BEAUTIFUL BLEND OF CANDID IMAGERY AND EDITORIAL POSING TO FULLY ENCAPSULATE THE ESSENCE OF YOUR DAY IN A TIMELESS YET UNIQUE WAY. DURING MOST OF YOUR DAY I ADOPT A MORE DOCUMENTARY STYLE TO CAPTURE THOSE INTIMATE MOMENTS THAT OTHERWISE WOULD GO UNSEEN. MY GOAL IS TO MAKE YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE AND AT EASE THROUGHOUT YOUR DAY TO ENSURE WE CAPTURE THOSE AUTHENTIC VERSIONS OF YOU. DURING YOUR COUPLES SESSION I OFFER GENTLE GUIDANCE ON POSING WITH FUN PROMPTS TO GIVE YOUR PHOTOS A MORE EDITORIAL FEEL WITHOUT REMOVING YOURSELVES FROM THOSE SOULFUL MOMENTS.

MY EDITING STYLE IS A BEAUTIFUL BLEND OF RICH EARTHY TONES, SOFT-MUTED HUES FOR A ROMANTIC FILM INSPIRED LOOK AND FEEL. I AIM FOR MY PHOTOS TO REFLECT YOU AND YOUR DAY BY USING MINIMAL RETOUCHING TO PRODUCE A MORE TIMELESS IMAGE. MY HOPE IS THAT BY MAINTAINING AUTHENTICITY THAT YOUR IMAGES WILL CONTINUE TO WITHSTAND THE TEST OF TIME AND BRING BACK ALL THE EMOTIONS FROM YOUR SPECIAL DAY.
