Art
is Love
made visible
I’m not here to make things perfect. I’m here to make them real.
Weddings, family moments, the quiet elegance of fine art—I capture them the way they feel: raw, fleeting, unpretentious.
There’s beauty in the way people hold each other, in the way light spills over—without giving a *F who’s watching.
I’m not chasing the perfect shot. I’m chasing what’s true.
I trust the process, the almost-lost, the not-quite-perfect.
I’ve been doing this a long time, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s the power of letting go—of not forcing something to be what it’s not.
When I step back and let it unfold, the magic happens. That’s when life shows up.
Hi, I’m Rue.
A photograph is the closest thing we have to time standing still. It doesn’t just capture what’s in front of it—it watches, remembers, distorts, and reveals.
It’s a quiet witness, a third eye that sees more than we often do. A bridge. A visual inheritance. Proof of life. A testament: I was here. WE were here.
the one medium through which every generation can see the other.

I am MORE than happy with your amazing talent with which you blessed us on our big day. We are the happiest couple! Thank you for investing so much care in our entire journey with you. You have become a beloved friend to us. You are truly amazing and in touch with everything you do. Super happy!! THANK YOU!!!!! We both LOVED working with you!! You are the only photographer that can make me and Jaco both feel like nobody's watching. We enjoyed you so much, that we were sad after the wedding- knowing that our time with you is done.”
~ Sulette & Jaco“WHERE does one start saying THANK YOU?! Your photos are ART! Each sweet one has so much character and I can't stop STARING at each photo.

My husband and I were very happy when we met with Rue prior to our wedding. She was very friendly and has a funky, edgy personality. She was extremely professional throughout all our meetings, as well as, during our engagement shoot and our wedding day. Having never been photographed before, Rue went out of her way to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera. This resulted in beautiful, natural pictures. Each picture was incredibly special and told the story of our wedding day exactly as I remember it. What a lovely investment for our future!”

We had a wonderful experience with Rue Kruger as our wedding photographer!!
Apart from her being highly professional and thoroughly experienced, she does an amazing job at making you feel relaxed and comfortable in front of a camera (this coming from someone who is not at all fond of photos). What makes Rue exceptional is that she is truly an artist who knows how to capture the nuances of your wedding day/event. I highly recommend her!
-Lionel & Nicola"Your work is so beautiful and inspired. It' photojournalism meets fine art,
while encapsulating a sense of peace. Words don't describe how much I love the way you captured the details of this wedding. I look forward to featuring more of your work."
