Heyyy! I'm Simy
I'm your fun, friendly, creative, and passionate photographer. And I'm ready to tell your story, are you?!
I am based in Middelburg, Mpumalanga, and travel throughout South Africa to capture moments in time otherwise forgotten.
As your Wedding Photographer, I will go above and beyond to ensure that you feel valued, heard, and as beautiful as a goddess. Our journey starts long before your wedding day with a fun engagement session where we have the wonderful opportunity to get to know each other. Here you are able to express your desires, insecurities, and needs. This also helps me to find the perfect style, posing, and lighting that works best for you.
My Studio Sessions are a safe space where my client's dreams become a reality. A space where you will feel comfortable expressing your true beauty. It would be my biggest pleasure to show the world, but most importantly YOU, just how gorgeous you are.
My whimsical Outdoor Sessions provide a somewhat magical setting for family, couples, children, and beauty portrait sessions. I will capture heartwarming memories of you and your loved ones that you'll get to cherish forever.
My Business Photography offers companies (big and small) the opportunity to showcase their vision, qualities, the people behind the scenes, and the dream behind it all. I offer a professional, yet fun approach to your photography needs.
ABOUT
SIMONY PRETORIUS
I discovered my passion for photography in Highschool when my parents gifted me with a digital (mik en druk) camera for my birthday. As a journalist for our school's newspaper (The Katarsis), it was my mission to seek out the hottest couples. And BAM! I was hooked. And then, at 18, my boyfriend (now husband) gifted me with my very first DSLR camera.
I will forever remember my very first photoshoot - a matric farewell (no pressure right). It was scary, yet amazing at the same time. While still learning all the different aspects of shooting manual, the fundamentals of posing, and differentiating between inconsistent lighting, all while containing a brave face was one of my greatest challenges thus far. But as soon as I had time to admire my work, it almost felt like something magical unlocked inside of me.
Fast forward to 8 years later, and I can't imagine a life without having discovered my passion for photography and my clients.
Thank you for supporting my dream!

"Simy Photography is absolutely value for your money the service she gave us and the experience I had with her was out of this world from our very first meeting.
Simy was game on, it wasn't just business, she was emotionally involved in assisting with vendors whose services were needed she really did much more than what was expected of her. There were moments when she stepped in and saved the day.
Her work speaks for itself with natural beautiful pictures that are from a fairytale super grateful and she has a heart of gold. Highly recommended the best service I ever received literally"
