Get to know me a bit better
Hi, I am Chanté.
I'M A WEDDING & LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHER FROM SUNNY CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA THAT MOVED TO THE GORGEOUS COUNTRYSIDE OF NORTHERN IRELAND.
MY NOW HUSBAND AND I RESIDE IN THIS BEAUTIFUL LITTLE TOWN JUST OUTSIDE OF DERRY. I'VE BEEN A FULL TIME PHOTOGRAPHER FOR OVER 5 YEARS NOW BUT I'VE HAD A LOVE FOR DOCUMENTING MEMORIES FOR OVER A DECADE.
I DOVE HEAD FIRST INTO FILM PHOTOGRAPHY AS A SMALL CHILD AND MY PASSION AND LOVE FOR ALL PHOTOGRAPHY HAS BLOSSOMED OVER THE YEARS! I AM BRANDED AS THE SOUL THAT NEVER LEAVES THE HOUSE WITHOUT A CAMERA. WHEN I'M NOT BEHIND THE CAMERA DOCUMENTING YOUR LOVE STORIES - I STILL CARRY AROUND A CAMERA OF SOME SORT - AS IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN SO IMPORTANT TO ME TO CAPTURE EACH MEMORABLE MOMENT.
I COFFEE SHOP HOP , WATCH WAY TOO MUCH TV SERIES AND ENJOY ADVENTUROUS TRIPS WITH GOOD FOOD AND EVEN BETTER VIEWS WITH MY OTHER HALF AND PUP MILLIE!
I AM MORE OF AN INTROVERT THAN I'D LIKE TO ADMIT EVEN THOUGH MOST WOULD NOT LABEL ME AS ONE LOOKING AT MY CHOICE OF OCCUPATION, SO IF PHOTOSHOOTS STRESS YOU OUT AND YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT BEING AWKWARD I PROMISE NOTHING COULD BE MORE AWKWARD THAN MY CHEESY JOKES!
