Hey there! Ever thought about spicing up your travel memories? Well, booking a photoshoot while you're on the go can be a game-changer. Here are five reasons why it's worth a shot:
Capture the Moment: Let's be real, when we're traveling, we're too busy soaking in the sights to focus on capturing ourselves in the moment. Having a pro behind the lens ensures those candid laughs and scenic backdrops aren't lost in the shuffle.
Step Out of Your Comfort Zone: Admit it, posing for photos isn't everyone's cup of tea. But hey, trying something new is what travel's all about, right? It might feel awkward at first, but you'll surprise yourself with how natural you can look in front of the camera, and we are here to help you and make you feel super comfortable!
Quality Souvenirs: Forget about those blurry selfies or asking strangers to snap a quick pic (which may or may not turn out decent). A professional photoshoot guarantees high-quality images that you'll actually want to frame or post on social media to make your friends jealous.
Solo or Squad, No Problem: Whether you're flying solo or traveling with your crew, a photoshoot is a win-win. Solo travelers can finally have some stunning shots that aren't just arm-length selfies. And if you're with loved ones, it's a chance to capture those unforgettable moments together.
Memories that Last: Long after the trip is over and the tan fades, those photos will still be there to bring back all the feels. It's like hitting the replay button on your favorite memories whenever you need a dose of wanderlust.
So, why not add a photoshoot to your travel itinerary? It's a fun, hassle-free way to create lasting memories that you'll treasure for years to come. Say cheese! ☻

ABOUT
ABOUT
Hi, I’m Marie-Laure Roux — but please, call me Marlow. I’m a French photographer based in Cape Town, South Africa, with over 15 years of experience capturing portraits, lifestyle moments, and events. What began as a teenage passion has grown into a creative career I’m truly proud of.
I launched Marlow Photography in 2020 here in the vibrant, sunlit city of Cape Town. Since then, I’ve built a small, dedicated team of talented photographers, and together we focus on capturing life’s most meaningful moments — the big celebrations and the quiet, in-between ones too.My style is natural, creative, and heartfelt. I’m drawn to real, unfiltered moments — the laughter, the glance, the warmth — and I love turning them into timeless stories through imagery. I’m told I bring a calm, easygoing energy to my shoots, which helps people relax and truly enjoy the experience (and it shows in the photos!).
From one-on-one portraits to family sessions or special events, I bring both heart and a keen eye for detail to every shoot. I also offer sessions in some of Cape Town’s most stunning locations — from mountain views to ocean sunsets — so each experience feels like a little adventure of its own.
I’d love to create something beautiful with you — photographs that capture your story and bring you joy for years to come. Have a look through my portfolio to see my work and meet some of the wonderful clients I’ve had the pleasure of photographing. ♡
