Hi, we're Josh & Shelby!
We are an award-winning photography and videography team based in Gauteng, South Africa. We specialise in wedding, lifestyle and brand photo and video crafted in a timeless style.
Services
Photography, Videography & Graphic Design
We provide refined photography, videography and graphic design for weddings, couples, families and businesses. Our approach is calm, detailed and purposeful, ensuring every story we document is treated with care.
Question 1 / 5
When is the best time to book?
For other photography/videography sessions, we recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance. For weddings, it's best to book a few months to a year in advance. We always say the earlier the better so that we can guarantee your wedding date is still available.
Question 2 / 5
What is required to secure a date?
When booking a photo session, you pay in full upfront to secure your session date. For weddings we ask for a 30% deposit to secure your date. We offer payment plans, if necessary, but we require the rest of the payment 3 weeks before your wedding date.
Question 3 / 5
What if the weather is too bad on the day of our photo session?
Generally, the shoot takes place as usual when the weather is cloudy. Cloudy weather can be more desirable than shooting in strong sunlight. However, if it rains, we will either move indoors or reschedule to a new session date!
Question 4 / 5
When will we receive the images/videos?
Within 2 to 4 weeks you will receive your images/videos through an online gallery. For weddings, you will receive preview images within 3 business days and the full gallery within 4 to 8 weeks (depending on the scope of the work that needs to be done).
Question 5 / 5
Will we receive unedited images/videos as well?
No, we do not send unedited images or videos. The images/videos you receive from us will be edited in our unique style. We take our time on all images/videos and consider them our work of art. Please take this into consideration before booking!

"It was the best choice!"
My boyfriend and I decided to get our photos taken by Gianni Creative Studio for our matric dance, and it was the best choice! It was our first photography shoot, and it went so smoothly. Shelby made the atmosphere so comfortable. She’s kind, encouraging, and really helpful with the different poses and settings we chose.
The photos came back quickly, and we are beyond pleased! I truly recommend booking a photoshoot with Gianni Creative Studio. They are kind, creative, and professional!

"Absolutely worth every cent!"
Absolutely worth every cent! Gianni Creative Studio truly live up to their name – capturing elegant, professional photos that you’ll treasure forever. We booked them for our Matric Dance, and the photos turned out exactly as I envisioned — if not better. They made the entire process feel effortless and knew exactly how to guide each shot. Highly recommended for anyone wanting polished, timeless memories!
