Riekert Cloete Photography

On a tight timeline, Riekert did some photographic magic in the early hours of a Saturday morning. Add load-shedding into all equations, he did some amazing work capturing a family of busybodies. Riekert comes highly recommended, the outcome of the pictures captured the instructions. I now have great memories captured on paper. The Riekert!

We have used Riekert for family photo shoots for five years since he did our first child’s newborn shoot. He has since been back regularly as he has an incredible way of making us all feel relaxed and of capturing calm real moments where the camera isn’t noticed by anyone. He is always so easy to work with and our kids find the whole experience fun which is really tough to get right! See you next year, Riekert!

We enjoyed a really wonderful experience with Riekert Cloete taking photos of our family reunion of 12 people. It was such a fun afternoon and Riekert captured many excellent photos for all of us to enjoy and remind us of a special time we shared together. He has such a wonderful ability of putting everyone at ease, not being self conscious, the children even cooperated amazingly well. He is organised, is very professional and knows what he is doing! I can thoroughly recommend him to anyone requiring natural, memory making shots.

Working with Riekert was an absolute pleasure. Super professional, reliable, and top-quality work. Would have no hesitation in using him again and recommending him to others.

Fantastic service from the beginning right through to receiving the end product. Riekert is exceptionally hands on and nothing is an effort or to much to ask. Riekert instantly made me feel at ease and he was so accommodating with requests from my guests.Best 50th birthday party and pictures I could have dreamt of.I would highly recommend Riekert to anyone! Thank you once again Riekert!

We hired Riekert to do our corporate headshots and he did an amazing job. We did the shoot at his studio (as we all work from home) and he made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. The photos came out so well and add a professional look to our profiles. The quality of the photos and his service were all top notch! Plus, he turned around the edits very quickly! I would highly recommend Riekert and hope to work with him again soon!

We cannot recommend Riekert enough. From the first message to the post production he has been the most professional, flexible and favorite photographer we could wish for.Being located in Germany the information on his website was super helpful, including not only wonderful locations to choose from but also the parents guide and the child-friendly guide for cape town.Thanks so much for the truly wonderful memories you captured - despite the weather we all shine! All the best

Riekert is a great family man who knows exact how to make great family photo's. He is good with kids and has a lot of patience. He knows great spots around Capretown and we had a lot of fun with hum! Thank you Riekert!

Recently we did a 10th Year Anniversary photoshoot with Riekert. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND him. He is certainly the best photographer in Cape Town! He is professional, kind, patient, easy to be around and talk to person.We are not comfortable in front of a camera, but he made us feel so comfortable and relaxed during the photoshoot. He guided us and truly captured the special moments on the day. I wish I had him on our wedding day.He is flexible with his time, as we had to do the shoot on a Sunday. The quality of the photos is amazing and within 10 days we had our photos! We had a wonderful experience with Riekert and enjoyed the shoot so much.Thank you Riekert for sacrificing your Sunday to do our shoot. We appreciate it and cannot emphasize how thankful we are. Thank you Riekert!P.S. His wife, Iza Cloete, is a make-up artist and hair stylist. She did my hair and make-up for the photoshoot. What a phenomenal duo!

Riekert is so kind and friendly to work with. And he still creates a lovely photoshoot even if the weather decides not to play nice. Thank you for capturing our family photos and memories of mine and my partners engagement!
