I had a wonderful experience with Caitlin. The photos are great, and she was very knowledgeable about the local area.

My daughter and I absolutely loved our photo session with Saxsola! She was incredibly professional, kind, and welcoming, and she made us feel comfortable and completely at ease throughout the experience. That warmth and connection truly came through in our photos. This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip and such a special mother-daughter experience. We will cherish our beautiful photos for many years to come.
Saxola did such a great job making me feel comfortable, and the pictures turned out great ! Really recommending booking her for photoshoots.
It was very nice. Tge local feel was a nice touch I would recommend it to anyone traveling to Cape Town.
My photo session with Saxola was great she was very kind and I’m excited to see how my birthday photos turn out
Beautiful! the team was communicative and straight to the point. Would do this again! Thank you!
This was the most amazing experience. We have gotten so many compliments on our pictures and people wanting to know who we used. Our photographer Caitlin was absolutely amazing. Her knowledge of Bo-Kaap and how she captured those special moments was truly incredible. Book with them today if you’re planning to be in Cape Town and ask for Caitlin. We are beyond pleased with our pictures.
A delightful experience on a tour of Bo-Kaap. I wanted to visit Bo-Kaap, and since I was alone, I was hesitant to take photos there. Choosing this tour option with a photo session was perfect. Better than I imagined. Caitlin shared some of the local history of the neighborhood and took photos in incredible locations.
Saxola was my photographer. She was super nice and gave me great pose ideas. This was an unforgettable experience in Bo-Kaap. Definitely recommend knowing the history ahead of time and taking the tour with a friend or friends earlier in the day. Overall awesome photo shoot experience.
A fun experience in Bo-Kaap with Caitlin as my photographer. Caitlin was very kind and patient. She also suggested poses which was appreciated as I was very much out my comfort zone. Was a great way to see Bo-Kaap and have fab photos to keep as memories of my time in Cape Town; especially as I was travelling on my own. Even with friends it would be fun to do as it captures the colours of Bo-Kaap to a professional standard. Would definitely recommend and would do it again if back in Cape Town.
Amazing experience and great pictures! The photographer was very friendly and accommodating when I wanted to try things out. I would definitely do this again
This was booked for 11.30am. I was asked by Marie to change the time to 10.30am which I did but on arrival at Bo Kaap, the protographer wasn't there. It seems Terrence the photographer was not give the information so he didn't arrive until 11.15am as he was working with other customers. Terrence a very friendly, nice chap but I would say that we could maybe have done the photographs ourselves with a friend. £112 is quite expensive.
Terence was our photographer and he was friendly, accommodating and on time. It is our first time doing a photoshoot and he provided lots of guidance so we became less nervous in front of the camera. He also provided us with tidbits of history of the area so the whole shoot was informative at the same time. We enjoyed the experience way more than expected.
This photoshoot is memorable and I highly recommend visitors/tourists to go for it. The photographer was warm and friendly. Sharing with us stories of this small colourful town as we walked and moved along from ‘houses to houses’, taking photos. She offered suggestions on where and how (to pose) to get a good photo. And she definitely know ‘THE’ place (house)/spot to get a beautiful photo. Overall a wonderful 45mins to and hour, spent taking photos. Capturing down beautiful moments with good friends.
Did you know that Marlow Photography will do a guided private photo tour for the entire day? My wife and I had a great experience shooting architecture, murals, and street photography in Bo Kaap with Marlow and our driver Sipo. Really cool to wander and experience the city with a local. Great communication (email, video call) ifor planning the day in advance and super flexible on agenda. Highly recommended, and Marlow even provided a few edited photos to commemorate the day.
Awesome experience! I will definitely book again! I learned alot about the clutter and its history!!!
The scenery was absolutely breathtaking and the photographer (Aisha) captured every moment brilliantly! She understands angles, light, and was extremely pleasant to work with!!
We really enjoyed this! As a couple, it’s hard to get more than selfies on trips. With our photographer Aisha, we now have photos from the trip that we can frame and canvas to remember this trip by. Aisha also gave us a history of the area as we walked, and was kind to us throughout our session. This is a beautiful neighborhood rich in history and meaning, an excellent place for memories of one of the most unique areas in Capetown
Super trip with Terrence who was super professional and incredibly helpful in getting some great locations for photographs. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to capture the best moments of Capetown.
Amazing experience. Probably the highly of this trip and lifelong memories captured. Terrence was a star. He made my mum and I feel so comfortable and every pose and suggestion he made turned out great. I couldn’t have been happier with the shoot and the outcome! I highly recommend and wish Terrence and his team great success in the future!
Terence's photography goes beyond just looking beautiful; it helps us understand and care about people from all over the world. His pictures remind us that we're all connected, no matter where we come from. If you want photos that touch your heart and make you feel closer to others, Terence is the photographer for you. His pictures capture the essence of Ubuntu, showing how we're all alike as human beings. Terence isn't just a photographer; he's a storyteller, a thinker, and an artist who captures the human experience.
Had a great experience with Terrence. It was a fun, happy, comfortable photo shoot. He is very intelligent, knowledgeable and accomodating. I would definitely recommend Marie and Terence for Cape Town shoots. Eagerly waiting to see the final pics.
Terrance was an awesome photographer and made this shoot really relaxed and enjoyable as well as providing a lot of history about the local area. Really enjoyed it
This was an incredible experience, and the photos turned out fantastic! We were able to learn so much about the Bo Kapp area and its history while capturing some great family photos. Terrence went out of his way to make sure we had good photos of our family together as well as individual pictures. Highly recommend.
Great experience, the photos were amazing. I was late but he took me through the streets they had already passed.
Had a great photoshoot with Terrence! He really made me feel comfortable posing for pictures. Additionally he told me a lot about the history of Bokaap. Needless to say, the pictures turned out great!
My photoshoot was with Terrence. He was awesome. He made us feel free to take pics. It was actually my first photoshoot and he made me feel at ease. We even found out that his from our home town. This was a great experience
This was a great experience for my family and I! Terrence took amazing pictures and I was very pleased with the quality and timeliness of the final product. But even beyond the pictures, he did a great job being a tour guide and giving us a brief history of this neighborhood. We enjoyed learning a little bit more about Cape Town and getting to view the beautiful homes in this area. Thank you for the fun experience!
Terrence was an excellent photographer and professional! We were a group of 3 travelers and we worked out a package of individual and group photos that included fun active shots and professional headshots. Terrence was prompt, patient, and gave helpful direction for posing. We received the pictures sooner than promised. I asked Terrence to edit a few photos to mask a "wardrobe malfunction" that was totally my fault. His edits were perfect and we are 100% satisfied! Thank you to Terrence (and Marie for linked us with him) for providing these amazing mementos of our trip to Cape Town!
In one hour, we received an immersive experience of all that Bo Kaap has to offer while having amazing photos taken of us. It was great not to have to grab a selfie to commemorate our time there but having professional photos to look back on.
Terrance was a great photographer & tour guide for the Bo-Kaap neighborhood. The experience included taking photos against the colorful neighborhood backdrop and learning about the history of the area as well. He was very friendly and informative. The photos were ready 3 days after the shoot and I'm happy with the final product, would definitely book this experience again.
Marie is fantastic! Her photography skills are top notch, she did my engagement photos for my fiance and I back in December and I recently went back to her again for my professional photos. I loved that she reviewed inspiration beforehand and provided ideas on how to achieve that aesthetic. For my professional photo shoot we went to two different locations in town and along the way she knew exactly where to go to get the right shot in the best lighting. I would highly recommend Marie!
I had a lovely colorful photoshoot in bo-kaap , the photographer made sure that every shot was unique , I had a lot of fun and I was proposed with many angles and areas to take a photo in , worth it !
To walk at the Bo Kaap with a professional photographer was one of the things I wished I would do and to finally made my wish come true was one of the best moments. Memories with nice photos
Marie was very professional and very patient with me, I really enjoyed myself I’ll definitely do it again when I’m in Cape Town
The experience was beautiful. Terence, you made taking photos so much memorable. It was great. Walking the streets of Bo-Kaap and capturing the moment was breathtaking
Really were looking forward to this but after waiting 15 minutes gave up waiting for the photographer as the number we’d been given didn’t work. Waste of a beauty morning. We were refunded but the only explanation was that there was a misunderstanding, odd given it was confirmed by the owner.
Great experience and a fantastic way to explore a new neighbourhood and meet new people. Terrence was very welcoming, relaxed and made me feel comfortable in different fotoshoot-poses. It is an amazing way to make a special memory in the fabulous Mothercity <3 Thanks again Terrence! Love, Imke
It was a wonderful experience in a great environment. Marie-Laure took amazing fotos of me and we had a lot of fun! She proposed many different settings and was very open to my ideas.
I really enjoyed the photo shooting and as always I am happy to return from holiday with beautiful photos of myself. Marie has a very good eye for beautiful scenes and is supportive when posing. It's super fun to go around the houses with her. She also has a tip or two for your trip through Cape Town. All in all, a very great experience that I wouldn't have wanted to miss.
Marie was welcomimg and managed to make the photoshoot relaxed and fun. Our younger daughter was not keen on the idea ahead of time and she is very camera shy, but Marie managed to get her to participate with ease, and I think she even enjoyed the experience. It will be so wonderful to finally have some good photos of her and the whole family. Thank you Marie, can't wait to see the photos :)
Merci beaucoup Marie !!! This experience is not only great because I got really nice, diverse, colorful pictures but I also saw an area which I would not have visited by myself. The tour was great, Marie was really open to ideas and because it was my first photoshoot ever she gave me some useful tips on how to look, stand and act - Marie does a fantastic job and I felt like I go around the blocks with a good friend. Thank you so much Marie! If you want a unique and special souvenir from Cape Town you have to do this tour, it is safe, short, fun and very easy-going.
My husband and I really enjoyed our Bo-Kaap photoshoot. Marie is really kind and patient and it felt more like a friend capturing us. We got our edited pictures the following day and we are so happy with it! We highly recommend her service!
Marie is a true professional and me feel like super star during our photo shoot. Just received the pictures and wow!! Thank you Marie for a unforgettable experience, I just wish I can take wherever I travel now!
I highly recommend this experience! Marie-Laure is such a friendly person, she really made us feel comfortable even if we not used to photo shoots. We felt at ease and relaxed. The poses are natural and it seems that everybody can be photogenic with her! She knows all the nice spots in Bo-Kaap where to take the best pictures. She barely photoshops, and in the end our pictures look very natural and full of life. The portraits are stunning and very personal. She is also super quick and efficient. She sent us the link to download our pics the day after. Those pictures really have wonderfully captured memories of our stay in Cape Town !
It was fun. Marie is exceptionally talented and great really good knowledge about photography. Best thing is that she makes you so comfortable. She gives her input and also takes your feedback while encouraging you to try out poses you want. I would definitely recommend you to try it out.
My experience was amazing. It was my first time with a professional photographer so Sipho, the photographer was very friendly, professional and made me feel very comfortable. He took his time to explain me everything and at the and all the photos are very beautiful. I highly recommand this experience.
Sipho was an excellent photographer and made me feel comfortable in front of the camera. The photos received were amazing!
Marie is a wonderful french woman with an eye. She is helpful and could make a wonderful tour guide. She has a great eye plus a wonderful eye to take amazing pictures.
I thoroughly Enjoyed this experience, everything about is was a 'Highlight' for me. Unathi, the photographer was so easy to take direction from and she knows her craft. She is friendly, professional and humble at the same time. I suggested a few 'different' locations on the path and she was for it. I LOVE LOVE LOVE HOW my photo's look. I will do this AGAIN and I will suggest that if you are in Cape Town, to make it a point to add it on your 'Itinerary'
