About us

Shoots by Design (SBD) are Cape Town based Wedding Photographers specializing in encapsulating the very essence of your very own, unique LoveStory.

We have been capturing weddings in some of the most sought after locations in and around our wonderful City and into the Overberg, Winelands, West Coast and Boland for the past few years and fell in love with weddings the moment we entered this arena. This has been a pursuit of one love story after another ever since. SBD is a quickly growing brand where we breed a positive, fun approach to storyboard planning, because we believe that your wedding is the most exciting day in your life and your journey towards your big day is every bit as important. Other things we believe in?
We believe you have the inherent; I was born with this power to achieve the wedding of your dreams. We endeavour to capture your day in such a way that your vision is visible throughout the storytelling of your day in the form of portraiture art. Trust us. We’ll guide you every step of the way.
We believe that every couple is different and every wedding unique and our ability to lock onto that while working closely with you during your engagement session means we are able to hone in on your special style and bring it to life. And not just bring it to life, but make it a BIG wow factor. The kind of “wow” where you look at them over and over, knowing that you will relive each moment each time with renewed enthusiasm. Sound good?
We believe you deserve the best your money can buy, for this reason we cut out the fluff that bulks up the price tag and include all the important bits, from there you can build your package to suit your specific needs and budget. Be it with your wedding budget or adding books and prints a few months later. Isn’t that just convenient?
If we’re being honest, we also believe that chocolate and puppy cuddles can cure almost any bad day. #ChocolatesPuppiesCureall
The gist is this: you’ve got something important you... show more
need to have captured … and we’re here to help you do that amazingly!

Based in Cape Town, Shoots by Design was founded by Dee Walters. Third person aside, SBD is down to earth, full of life and super focused on getting the best shots, each time and to the absolute best of our ability! We have grown from strength to strength by priding ourselves in our craft and ever learning new techniques and tricks of the trade to bring to you, our client, and the best possible outcome on your day. From all this we have gained so much experience and we are honored to share this with you.
Whether it be sharing all of my lessons learned so you can avoid disasters on your day to tips on how to realize your dreams or reminding you why you’re ready, even when you think you’re not, I hope SBD inspires you to not hold back and create the wedding you have been dreaming off, alongside us being there to guide you and capture your journey every step of the way.
