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 easy closeness of a family, the chapter two people share, and the season of waiting for a new baby. Sessions are relaxed, gently guided and created around what matters to you, on the beach, at home or somewhere that holds meaning. And for those who love them, I am also a horse photographer South Africa wide.

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. I also photograph maternity sessions, engagements and weddings across the Eastern Cape and the Garden Route.

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 create family and couple portraits along the Eastern Cape coast, from Jeffreys Bay and St Francis Bay to the Tsitsikamma, and still travel across South Africa to photograph horses.

Maternity & weddings

For the biggest chapters of your story

From the quiet wait for a new baby to the day you say “I do”, I photograph life’s biggest chapters with the same relaxed, gentle approach. Maternity sessions take place on the beach, along the coast or somewhere meaningful to you, and weddings are available across the Eastern Cape, the Garden Route and beyond.

Across South Africa

Horse Photographer South Africa

Alongside my family and couple work, I still photograph horses across South Africa: fine-art horse portraits, horse-and-owner sessions and horse-and-rider photographs at your yard, farm or equestrian venue, with all the time and patience each horse needs.

Questions about your photoshoot

How much does a family photoshoot in St Francis Bay cost?

A family session is R2,500, which includes 60 minutes at one location, one outfit and 25 edited high-resolution photographs. Because I live in St Francis Bay, there is no travel fee for sessions in St Francis Bay, Cape St Francis, Jeffreys Bay, Humansdorp, Oyster Bay or the Tsitsikamma. Couple, portrait and engagement sessions are R1,750, and maternity sessions are R1,750 for mom and dad, or R2,500 with your children included.

Where do the photoshoots take place?

I do not work from a studio. Sessions happen on location: on the beach, at your home or at a place that means something to you. I photograph families and couples along the coast from Jeffreys Bay and St Francis Bay to Cape St Francis, Humansdorp, Oyster Bay and the Tsitsikamma, and I am happy to travel throughout South Africa and internationally.

How long does it take to receive our photos?

You will receive a small preview on WhatsApp soon after your session. Your full set of edited photographs follows within 30 days, in a private online gallery where you can view and download them.

What should we wear for our photoshoot?

Wear something comfortable that lets you sit on the sand, walk by the water and pick up your little ones with ease. Choose two or three soft colours that work together, such as cream, sand and muted blue, rather than identical outfits, and avoid large logos and busy prints.

How do I book a session?

Send me a WhatsApp message on 082 413 7984 with your preferred date, the location you have in mind and who will be in the photographs. I will reply personally to help you plan the details.
