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.

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. 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.

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.

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.
