We believe…
That all love stories are beautiful and deserve to be captured in a beautiful and timeless way. Photographs are the main source to bring back memories from your special day. Open conversations are an important facet to any professional or personal relationship!
Hey, we are Christo and Wandi, a husband-and-wife team, and together we are IdoLife! Lovely meeting you.
Christo, our lead photographer has been a photographer for 13 years and you will find his work canvassed in many homes. He has a passion for people and started his photography journey spending endless hours shooting portraits of models as well as honing his skills through his wildlife art, always in search of that perfect look and image.
Wandi, the owner of the IdoLife group and brand, apart from being one of Christo’s second shooters, is also a qualified image consultant and stylist, women empowerment coach and certified life coach. When booking us as your wedding photographers you will gain access to her wealth of knowledge and unique skill set. Apart from her role as 2nd shooter, Wandi’s role is to make sure that everything runs smoothly, everyone remains calm and relaxed and to handle whatever situations might arise on or before the wedding.
We are passionate and emotional about every wedding we shoot and if you watch closely, you will see a tear or two running down Wandi’s cheek (Christo himself is not shy to shed a tear or two…) when the bride walks down the aisle or with the father & daughter dances. These are incredible once in a lifetime moments and the honor to capture them is such a privilege that it is difficult not to cry… in a good way.
The reason we gravitate towards wedding photography is that we believe life is a celebration. We love finding beauty in the ordinary. What better way to serve and share our talents and creativity with the world than through capturing images of the special moments of wedding celebrations. We want to spread joy into the world by preserving your special day through beautiful images to last you a lifetime.
