Need a Wedding Photographer in Durban?
Hi, I’m Alida — a wife, mom, and a complete mess in the kitchen. I love good food but can’t cook to save my life (but I try, lol). I photograph weddings mainly in Durban, the Midlands, and across KZN. This beautiful part of the world has some of my favourite backdrops — from golden coastlines to misty mountains — and I feel so lucky to capture love stories here.
I’ve spent years capturing love stories along Durban’s golden coastline, and every time I pick up my camera here, I’m reminded why couples fall in love with this city. There’s something magical about saying “I do” with the sound of waves in the background and the sun dipping into the ocean. Durban is alive with colour, culture, and endless backdrops — from lush tropical gardens to chic seaside venues. For me, it’s a photographer’s dream: soft golden light, breathtaking scenery, and moments that unfold effortlessly and feel beautifully real.
If you’re planning your wedding here, you’ve already chosen one of the most romantic canvases imaginable — and I’d be honoured to capture every chapter of your love story against it.
Wedding Tip:
If you’re planning a wedding in Durban, keep in mind that the city can get pretty busy — and that means traffic too! Consider arranging a shuttle service or group transport for your guests, especially if your ceremony and reception are in different locations.
It’s a simple detail that makes a big difference: your guests can relax and enjoy the day without worrying about directions or parking, and you can rest easy knowing everyone will arrive safely and on time. More time for love, laughter, and celebration — just the way it should be.
Things to do in Durban:
1. Moses Mabhida Stadium & Big Swing / SkyCar
If you’re after a little thrill, head to the iconic Moses Mabhida Stadium. Take the SkyCar up the arch for breathtaking panoramic views of the city and coastline, or — if you’re feeling brave — try the Big Swing for an unforgettable adrenaline rush.
2. Walk or Cycle the Golden Mile Promenade
Slow things down with a relaxed stroll, jog, or bike ride along Durban’s famous Golden Mile. Soak up the sunshine, sea air, and vibrant energy — with plenty of cafes and restaurants along the way for a refreshing stop.
3. uShaka Marine World
Dive into adventure at uShaka Marine World! Explore the massive aquarium, wander through marine exhibits, and cool off at Wet ‘n Wild waterpark. Don’t miss the Village Walk — perfect for shopping, ice cream, and easygoing dining by the sea.
4. Soak Up the Culture on Florida Road
Durban’s trendiest street is alive with character, flavour, and fun. From stylish cafes to buzzing bars and live music spots, Florida Road is the place to be for an unforgettable night out — whether you’re after craft cocktails, people-watching, or just good vibes.
