Cape Town Wedding Photographer

Creative, quirky documentary wedding photography capturing timeless moments of joy, love & laughter.

Cape Town Wedding Photographer

Welcome to Greg Lumley Creative Wedding Photography. I capture real laughter, unscripted emotion and the fleeting moments you’ll treasure forever. I’m a Cape Town based wedding photographer who specialises in creative, documentary-style storytelling.

I believe memories fade far too soon, which is why photography matters. I preserve honest moments, the laughter, tears, and shared glances. Before they slip away.

Don't miss a thing

On your wedding day, you’ll be surrounded by so many incredible moments that it can be overwhelming. I capture those unforgettable memories, ensuring they last a lifetime.

How I Work as Your Photographer

  • Relaxed & Blended In: I stay unseen until needed, candidly capturing unfolding moments.
  • Quirky Prompts: I don’t force smiles. I prompt reactions. A little banter, a cheeky comment, and suddenly you're both laughing like no one's watching.
  • Creative Shoots: If you’re up for it, we’ll embrace something epic to express your personalities.

My style of wedding photography

My approach to wedding photography is a blend of a few things that I’m passionate about:

  • Documentary: I focus on capturing genuine moments as they unfold, along with the essential details that tell the complete story of your day

  • Quirky: I love to reflect your unique personalities and sense of humour, ensuring that the photos feel true to you.

  • Creative: If you’re open to it, let’s embark on something different. Perhaps even epic! After all, you only get married once.

Why Choose Me as Your Wedding Photographer?

The most important thing is that my photography style feels right to you. Capturing your wedding day is deeply personal, so trust and connection between us matter just as much as skills and experience. Rather than listing achievements, I believe the best way to see if we’re a good fit is to meet and chat.

With years of experience and hundreds of weddings behind me, I’m ready to capture your day with authenticity, creativity and timelessness, making sure your memories feel as real and joyful as the moment itself.

There are no words to describe how happy Bari and I are with the photographs and how grateful we are for how beautifully you have captured our wedding day! We have had a tough time choosing the images for our album, based on wanting all of them. What a wonderful problem to have.

Toni and Bari

Thank you so much for being such an amazing photographer to work with on our special day. We must really commend your professionalism and very clear experience in what you do. We never felt awkward or unnatural at any stage and we really aren’t camera friendly people!”

Sarah

Hi Greg, I wanted to send you an ENORMOUS thank you for being our photographer on the most amazing day of our lives. We had a ton of fun and I hope you did too.
Thank you for your professionalism, humour, and vision (and for making the effort to dress nicely for the day – it was noticed and appreciated) that all helped to put us at ease.
