Wedding Photography & Cinematography

Your Wedding.Your Story. Forever.

Wedding photography & cinematography for couples who want to remember how it felt, not just how it looked.

The Veil — Pretoria, 2025

Our Philosophy

The flowers fade. The dance ends.
The film is forever.

Watch the Film

Photographs hold the moment.
Film brings you back.

Because some memories aren’t meant to be remembered quietly.

Why SkyRidge

Not just there to capture it.
There to experience it with you.

01

The Eye

We look beyond the obvious moments — the glance, the reaction, the hand squeeze, the quiet moments between the big ones.

02

The Story

Photography and cinematography work together to tell one cohesive story, from the nervous excitement before the ceremony to the last dance.

03

The Experience

Calm when you need us. Present when it matters. We want you to feel comfortable enough to forget the cameras are there.

Kind Words

Kind words from our couples.

The best part of what we do is knowing our couples felt as much as they remember.

“We booked SkyRidge Collective very last minute for our wedding, but they never once made us feel like that was an inconvenience. From the very beginning, the service was nothing short of exceptional.

They were incredibly hands-on, even before the wedding, asking all the questions I hadn’t even thought about. They made us feel so comfortable, so welcomed and so confident that we had made the best choice — and we absolutely did!

What really stands out to us is that they became part of our wedding memories. They weren’t just our videographers — they were part of the day itself. Thank you, SkyRidge Collective, for the most incredible service we could have asked for.”
Mareli & Jan-Louis Rolling Waters, Pretoria Google Review
“We had such a great experience with SkyRidge. From the very beginning we had so much confidence and piece of mind that we made the right choice leading up to our wedding day.

The photos went above what we imagined, they really captured the moments as they were. When looking back at the photos today, we can truly feel the emotions of the day as if we are standing right there again.

On our big day they were early, they were professional and were especially kind. All in all, we were really impressed and happy with not just our big day, but also with the whole experience from booking until the final pictures arrived in our inbox.”

Our Story

Rynhardt Nel, co-founder and cinematographer at SkyRidge Collective in Pretoria
5+Years

Co-Founder · Cinematographer

Rynhardt Nel

“I’m drawn to the moments that happen between the moments — the look before the vows, the nervous laugh, the hand squeeze, the reaction nobody planned for.

Those are the moments I want you to remember.”

Christo Griessel, co-founder and wedding photographer at SkyRidge Collective in Pretoria

the Lens

Co-Founder · Photographer

Christo Griessel

“I look for light, emotion and the little things that make every wedding different.

My goal isn’t simply to give you beautiful photographs. It’s to give you photographs that take you back.”

Light is the medium.
Story is the art.

SkyRidge Collective was built around one simple idea: your wedding isn’t a collection of photographs. It’s a story made up of hundreds of small moments.

The nervous excitement. The look across the aisle. Your dad trying not to cry. Your friends losing their minds on the dance floor.

We want to preserve all of it.

That’s SkyRidge.

Questions Couples Ask

How far do you travel?

We’re based in Pretoria and travel throughout South Africa — including Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban — as well as internationally for destination weddings. Tell us where your day is happening and we’ll confirm travel arrangements as part of your enquiry.

Do you offer photography and cinematography together?

Yes. Our Unified collections bring photography and cinematography together as one cohesive visual story, from the nervous excitement before the ceremony to the last dance. Photography-only and cinematography-only collections are also available.

How many photographers and cinematographers will be at our wedding?

SkyRidge Collective is built around our two co-founders — Rynhardt behind the camera for film, Christo behind the lens for photography. A second shooter can be added to any collection if you’d like additional coverage.

Do you offer engagement shoots?

Yes, an engagement shoot is available as an add-on to any collection — a relaxed way to get comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding day.

Do you travel outside Pretoria?

Yes. While we’re based in Pretoria, we regularly shoot weddings in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and beyond, including international destinations.

Can we customise a collection?

Every collection can be tailored to your needs. Popular add-ons include drone coverage, extra edited photos, a longer feature film, a social media reels package, a second shooter and a same-day edit — speak to us about building a package that fits your vision exactly.
