Nice to meet you!

Hi, I’m Chandese Ratcliff — living my best life as a wedding and lifestyle photographer travelling the world. I recently married my best friend and most amazing husband, who supports me in every way possible. My husband and I met when we were 18 months old as neighbours and our journey started together in our first year in 2018. We are dog-lovers, adventurous, and endlessly creative, always seeking moments that inspire and move us. I’m also passionate about painting portraits, a space where I can lose myself for hours, capturing the beauty and emotion of a person. This love for detail, connection, and storytelling flows naturally into my photography, where I strive to preserve the genuine, heartfelt moments that make life and love, so extraordinary

My photography journey began in 2018 while I was studying Graphic Design in Bloemfontein, and somewhere along the way, I fell in love with the art of capturing people and their stories. God has truly blessed me with the opportunity to turn this passion into a full-time career, and I’m incredibly grateful for every couple, family, and moment I get to capture.

As a coffee lover, there’s a good chance I’ll show up with a flat white in hand and honestly, some of the best connections start with a simple coffee chat with a client that grow into real friendships.

I completely understand how awkward it can feel to be in front of a camera. That’s why my goal is to help you feel relaxed, confident, and genuinely yourself. From the moment you reach out, I’ll guide you every step of the way, helping you choose the perfect location, outfits that make you feel amazing, and creating a space where you can simply enjoy the moment with your loved ones.

I can’t wait to capture your memories that will last a lifetime!
