About us
Hello, we're Cherie & Charldon
Photo & Film · Pretoria, South Africa
We're here for your love story (and the wedding food) 😂
We're the two faces behind High Tide Photo & Film, a Pretoria-based photography and videography team. We photograph and film weddings, engagements, couple shoots, maternity sessions, family and birthday shoots.
What we love most about weddings is the people. Every couple has a story, and we genuinely want to hear it: how you met, who you are, and what makes you you. Our favourite part of the day? The couple session, that quiet stretch where it's just the two of you, and we get to capture how you really are together.
Our second-favourite part is the food. We won't say we judge weddings by the dessert table, but we definitely remember it. 😂
Cherie
Photographer
Cherie is behind the camera for every photo and edits each one by hand. She's also the face behind our bookings, so she's usually the one you'll be chatting to first.
Charldon
Videographer
Charldon films your day and edits every highlight film, turning the vows, the speeches and the laughter into a story you can watch again and again.
What you can expect
Warm & easy
No stiff poses. We keep things relaxed so you look and feel natural.
Timeless edits
Soft, true-to-life colour that won't date, in every photo and film.
Photo & film, one team
One team for both means a calmer day and a story that fits together.
