Adri Krige Photography

Family and Couple Photographer in St Francis Bay

Relaxed, heartfelt family and couple portraits along the Eastern Cape coastline — and, for those who love them, horses too.

Photographs that hold meaning

More than a beautiful image

I photograph the relationships that shape our lives—the familiar connection within a family, the chapter two people share together and the quiet bond between horse and human. Sessions are relaxed, thoughtfully guided and created around what matters to you. That same care is there whether you came looking for gentle portraits with the people closest to you, or a horse photographer South Africa wide.

Eastern Cape coastline

Family and Couple Photography by the Sea

Relaxed photography in St Francis Bay, Cape St Francis, Jeffreys Bay, Humansdorp and Tsitsikamma—planned around the light, the coastline and the people in front of my camera. Couple photography for those who want to capture the bond between two partners, and family sessions with room for everyone to simply be themselves.

Meet the photographer

I’m Adri Krige

I grew up on a farm in the Steytlerville district, where horses and the wide-open Karoo shaped how I see the world. Photography taught me to look deeper—to remove distractions and recognise the truth held in a moment.

Today I travel across South Africa to photograph horses, and create family and couple portraits closer to home along the Eastern Cape coast.

Across South Africa

Horse Photographer South Africa

Every horse has a presence of their own. My equine sessions are shaped around the individual horse, allowing time for natural behaviour, genuine connection and moments that cannot be forced.

Choose a fine-art horse portrait, a meaningful horse-and-owner session or horse-and-rider photographs at your yard, farm or equestrian venue. It is why riders come to me from well beyond my own coastline, and how I have become known for quiet, patient equine work.

The horse, honestly captured

Portraits created to outlive the moment

Fine-art equine portraits preserve the character, strength and small details you know so well — the elegance and charm that made you fall for this horse in the first place. The result is artwork that belongs in your home and remains meaningful long after the day it was made. It is the work I love most, because you are trusting me with something irreplaceable.
