Love and joy, distilled into something cinematic and timeless.
Timeless, cinematic, and richly atmospheric, our work is created to honour the feeling within every moment. We are drawn to the quiet in-betweens, the unguarded gestures, the emotion that lives beneath the surface and reveals who you really are.
About us
We’re Ethan and Paige from Derbymeadow, a Cape Town based husband and wife wedding photography duo dedicated to documenting love with elegance and intention. Our approach blends documentary authenticity with an editorial sensibility, capturing unposed, emotive moments that unfold naturally.
More than photographs, we create timeless narratives, honest, cinematic, and deeply personal; that preserve the essence of your celebration for generations to come.
Having Ethan and Paige document our elopement was so special. They were so kind and accommodating, making us feel at home and so comfortable in front of the camera. I would recommend them 110%. They altered the day according to our needs and we got more than we bargained for. Their work is amazing and the photos came out better than we could have imagined. Thank you again!

Ethan and Paige from Derbymeadow are the kind of people who quietly slip into your day and leave behind pure magic. I couldn’t believe how beautifully they documented not just us, but our guests—the hugs, the glances, the little moments in between. Their documentary style is gentle and honest, and the way they work with light is just… breathtaking.
