Hey, I'm Ruan
I’m a wedding photographer/videographer with a love for storytelling. My style is all about capturing moments as they unfold, creating something real and full of emotion. People often describe my work as "emotive," "deep," and "moody," but for me, it’s simply about telling your story in the most authentic way. My deepest passion is helping you hold on to your memories, so they feel as fresh as if they happened yesterday.
Testimonials
Diana van der merwe
Ruan did our wedding photos. And man van they tell a tale with feeling and without words. the saying a picture is worth a million words, is very true when it comes to Ruan. Our pictures have details in that would have been lost and forgotten. My husband's face when I walked in, us praising God together, and my favourite must be a special moment between Musha and Riley where they where dancing. we never felt rushed just loved. Thank you @ruanmyburgfilms
