Shooting all over the Western Cape and around SA, I have catalogued an expansive portfolio of Weddings, Engagements, Families, Couples, Friends, Maternities, Properties and Events.
Working as a Professional Photographer for over 15 years, I have built a small team, and gained a wealth of knowledge and experience (not to mention the amount of new friends made).

She was absolutely amazing with her friendliness, jokes, and making us feel super comfortable, even when I felt like I couldn't take a decent picture. Lol. The pics came back so stunning and we just couldn't be happier. We will definitely be using Stacey for all our future photography. Thank you Stacey!!!

Not only are her photography skills incredible, she made me feel so confident and comfortable in myself. Thank you Stacy!!!! Amy Mostert2023-04-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stacy was really great. The experience was very relaxed. She made us all feel comfortable, including my toddler! She even got some lovely photos of my camera-shy mom on her own! What I loved most is that she took natural photos, not just posed smile-at-the-camera shots which in the end gave us such wonderful, lively photos to keep forever! Thank you so much! Would highly recommend! Claire Smyth2023-04-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

The past... read more year, Covid has put a damper on most of the joyous occasions we would've had for our little one but I could not have asked for anyone better to capture the happy and oh so precious moment for us. Not to forget her awesome personality and friendly demeanor, she leaves you feeling so comfortable and warm you wont even know there is a camera pointed at you. She's completely hands on and took me through each step from booking her all the way to receiving our beloved memories captured. Would recommend her a hundred times over!

What an absolute pleasure having Stacy capture special memories for us! She was so unbelievably accommodating and willing to go the extra mile to make sure the photographs were perfect!... read more Stacy is the easiest person to be around (this coming from someone who is typically very awkward and uncomfortable in front of a lens) and has a calming presence about her which allows for the most natural and perfect shots. I highly recommend her services and will certainly be using her again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Frequently asked questions
Where are we located and where should we shoot?
We are based in Cape Town Southern Suburbs.
With loads of beautiful venues around us that we can suggest to accommodate any type of shoot at any time of day. Although, if you have a great venue in mind we will meet you there. (transport cost will be included in the quote)
What is the best time for a shoot?
Have you ever heard of “Golden Hour”… This is the last couple of hours before sunset and after sunrise. The best time for beach and sunset sessions. The light is soft, ambient colours are beautiful and shadows are softer. Let’s book a slot.
Where can I find your photography prices?
Send us an email and we will send you our packages and prices for the shoot that you are interested in.
Do you Photograph Products and Events?
Yes we do. We have photographed all types of events, from Bat Mitzva’s to to Corporate shoots, we have done it all. Have a look at our Menu for the shoot you have in mind. Please describe what you are looking for, and I will respond as soon as I can.
Locations you may love as much as us
Do you only shoot in Cape Town?
We will go to which-ever destination you choose. You pick the location, and we will meet you there. Let Reay Photography be your Destination Wedding Photographer where-ever you are in the world. (travel & accommodation fees will be added.)
Do you ever hand out RAW images?
As a photographer, I understand the desire for clients to have access to every detail of their precious moments captured through my lens.
However, it’s important to explain why I don’t hand out RAW images. Each photograph that I deliver is a culmination of meticulous composition, lighting adjustments, and post-processing techniques tailored to bring out the essence and beauty of the moment. RAW images, while containing all the data captured by the camera sensor, are essentially unfinished canvases requiring extensive editing and refinement to achieve the final polished result.
By entrusting me with the editing process, clients ensure consistency in the final product’s quality and style, maintaining the integrity of my work. Rest assured, I am committed to delivering images that exceed expectations and reflect the true essence of each unique occasion.
