Hello, I am Mishca-Leigh Appolis

"Simply put — we love, love"

I was born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa surrounded by our beautiful mountains & beaches.

I studied Art & Design in 2014 and the first time I started taking photos was for my photography class practicals. The wedding bug bit when I was a second shooter for an amazing photographer, Natasha at a wedding in Robertson. It was such an awesome experience for me and my first outside of Cape Town. Since that moment on I knew I wanted to capture just about everyone's love story!

and love the whole of
one another.

I knew I’d feel comfortable with you taking my photos. My favorite part was that you were honest about certain positions I should sit in or stand that made my photos come out better, without you just standing there and clicking photos. I was pleasantly surprised at how you you captured every little detail from my day, that I look back on now and think I would have forgotten about this if I didn’t have the photograph that you had taken . I absolutely absolutely loved my photos that you took! 
She’s the best in the business, if you are looking for someone who makes you feel comfortable, yet tells you what positions would suit you best on certain photos, then she is your girl!

I am honestly so grateful that it was you who took my photos because having someone familiar who actually knew me made it so much more special! It's so cool to see how far you've progressed and grown since then. Jared and I are soo proud of you and all you're doing with your business. You really have been given such an amazing gift and you're so humble.
Keep on thriving girl!
