I’m Gottfried Böhme, a lifestyle, portrait, and wedding photographer

For the past sixteen years, I’ve had a front-row seat to some of the most beautiful weddings in Cape Town, working quietly alongside some of the industry’s most respected photographers like Edography, Megan&I and

Fig & Film. Being a second shooter taught me so much — not just about timing, light, and storytelling, but about people. I learnt where the real moments live: in the in-between glances, the nervous laughter, the tight hand squeezes, and the people who love you most.


I also have 17+ years of experience as an Art Director in commercial advertising. That experience shaped the way I see the world. I naturally notice light, emotion, composition, and the small details that often pass unnoticed — the way your dad looks at you before the ceremony, your friends tearing up during speeches, your gran fixing your sleeve when no one else sees.


Now, bringing those two worlds together feels incredibly natural to me. My approach is calm, observant, and honest. I’m not interested in turning your wedding into a photoshoot or recreating someone else’s Pinterest board. I want your photographs to feel like you — your people, your energy, your story.


I’m based in Cape Town and photograph weddings across the Western Cape and beyond. If that sounds like the kind of photography you’re looking for, I’d love to chat.
