let me tell you mine... I'm marlize

Before you share your story..

I am a self-taught photographer, teacher, wannabe surfer & a proud wife & mama of one beautiful boy.
I live in the most beautiful town called Knysna, South Africa.
My ideal weekend is filled with going to the beach, one active activity (working out, hiking, walking), going to a nursery with my husband, sipping champs with my friends, cuddling till 8am with my hubby & baby boy, going to the farmers market & enjoying a lekker braai with my friends or family.

I'm not just a vendor you pay on your wedding day, I'm your friend, cheerleader, fixer upper, tissue carrier (for me and you), problem solver and your biggest fan.


More about me


Capturing precious moments that will last a lifetime is my passion. I am thrilled to offer my services as a professional photographer specializing in wedding, elopement, and family photography.


My journey in photography began years ago when I picked up my first film camera. Combining technical expertise with a keen eye for detail, I strive to create stunning images that tell unique stories and evoke genuine emotions.

Weddings are one of the most magical and memorable events in a couple's life, and I consider it an honor to be entrusted with documenting these cherished moments. Whether it's an intimate elopement or a grand celebration, my goal is to capture the essence of your love and create timeless images that will be treasured for generations to come.


I believe that every family has a story to tell, and I am dedicated to capturing the joy, connection, and love that bind families together. Whether you're welcoming a new addition, celebrating milestones, or simply capturing the beauty of everyday life, I strive to create authentic and heartfelt images that reflect the unique personality of your family.


When you choose me as your photographer, you can expect a personalised, relaxed and fun experience. I believe in building genuine relationships with my clients, taking the time to understand your vision, and tailoring my approach to meet your specific needs. From the initial consultation to the final delivery of your images, I am committed to providing a seamless and enjoyable experience.


Behind the lens, I am a storyteller, an observer of moments, and a passionate artist. I am constantly seeking inspiration in the world around me, always looking for that perfect light, that candid smile, or that fleeting moment of raw emotion. It is my goal to create images that not only capture the beauty of the moment but also transport you back to the emotions and memories of that day.


Thank you for considering Burnt Haus Media to be a part of your special moments. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and create lasting memories that will be cherished for a lifetime.
