ERNEST

Ernest has been photographing weddings with ZaraZoo since shortly after we returned to South Africa. That was nearly 20 years ago. So calling him an experienced wedding photographer would be something of an understatement.

Photographer | Long-Time ZaraZoo Legend

Over the years Ernest has photographed alongside us through just about every kind of wedding day imaginable.

Big weddings. Small weddings. Formal weddings. Wild weddings. Destination weddings. Quiet moments. Chaotic dance floors.

And that experience matters.

Weddings move quickly and they don’t come with retakes. A great wedding photographer needs to know when to step in, when to step back and — most importantly — when something special is about to happen.

After almost two decades shooting alongside ZaraZoo, Ernest knows.
