Wild Weddings Co., South African, Safari & Lifestyle Photographer, Nadia Steenkam

Hello, I am Nadia Steenkamp


Safari Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer

I am a wife, a mother of two, and a wedding photographer with a deep-rooted love for the African bush.


My family and I spend as much time as possible outdoors — camping, exploring, and returning again and again to wild places where life slows down and connection comes naturally. The bush has shaped not only how I live, but how I see. It has taught me patience, presence, and respect for moments as they unfold — values that sit at the heart of how I photograph safari weddings.


I’ve been photographing weddings for 10+ years, documenting celebrations across South Africa and beyond. Safari weddings hold a special place in my heart — they are intimate, intentional, and grounded in experience rather than excess. They invite couples and their guests to disconnect from the noise and fully immerse themselves in the beauty of the moment.


My approach is calm, unobtrusive, and story-driven. I work with natural light, honest emotion, and a refined editorial eye to create imagery that feels timeless and elevated, while remaining deeply personal. From soft mornings in the lodge to golden-hour portraits on the plains and candlelit celebrations under the stars, I document your wedding as a complete and cohesive story.


These photographs are more than a record of your day — they are a legacy. A visual heirloom that reflects not only what your wedding looked like, but how it felt to be there, together, in one of the most extraordinary places on earth.


Based in South Africa and travelling throughout Africa, I photograph safari weddings in some of the continent’s most extraordinary locations. Wherever your journey leads, I would be honoured to tell your story.

Testimonials

We honestly couldn’t have picked a better photographer for our wedding than Nadia! She’s so kind, easygoing and just really fun to be around. I’m quite camera shy, but she made my husband and me feel totally comfortable from the start, which made such a difference.


I planned our wedding from the UK and she made everything feel so easy and stress free. She’s not only amazing at what she does, but she’s such a lovely person too. She genuinely made our day even more special and we’re so grateful for her beautiful work! We relive our fairytale wedding every time we look at our photos! Thank you, Nadia! 🤍🤍🤍🤍

Testimonials

.... really, these pictures are so beautiful. Maybe it’s your editing, but I look like a model in some of them, and that was way more than I thought possible. Maybe that sounds vain, but it’s nice to look at your wedding photos and think “wow, I actually looked as beautiful as I felt that day.” - Tara
