Hi there, I’m Maryke

I’m the heart and slightly quirky soul behind Maryke de Villiers Photography. Based in the stunning Saltwater Coast in Point Cook, Victoria, I have the privilege of photographing love, life, and everything in between all across this beautiful state.

First, let me tell you a bit about myself. I’m a proud mom to two amazing kids who fill my days with endless joy and just the right amount of chaos. My family is my world, and I’m incredibly lucky to share this photography journey with my loving husband. Not only is he my biggest supporter, but he’s also my second photographer, and together we make an incredible team. We thrive on capturing life’s most precious moments and doing it with heart, humor, and a touch of magic.

For me, photography isn’t just a job or a hobby—it’s a way of life. I live and breathe it. Whether I’m behind the camera or editing into the quiet hours of the night with a warm cup of tea or a sneaky glass of wine, my mission is always the same: to freeze those fleeting, irreplaceable moments so they can be cherished forever.

What’s my style? Think of me as that friend who makes you laugh while gently coaching you out of your “Oh no, what do I do with my hands?!” panic. My goal is to help you feel completely at ease and truly enjoy your special moments without any pressure. Because let’s be honest—your day is about you, not about stiff poses or forced smiles.

I have a knack for spotting the magic in the in-between moments—the little glances, the subtle gestures, and those heartfelt details that make your story yours. Whether it’s a sneaky tear during a vow exchange or the hilarious chaos of kids running wild, I’m there to capture it all with warmth and care.

And when it comes to your photos? They’re in the best hands. Every single shot is edited by me with love and precision, using the latest tools in Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. I don’t just want your photos to be pretty—I want them to feel alive and transport you right back to that moment.

If you’re looking for a team that’s as invested in your memories as you are, I’d love to tell your story through my lens. Let’s create something beautiful together—something you’ll treasure forever.

With love, laughter, and a camera always in hand,

Maryke xx
