PJ took some INCREDIBLE picture for our engagement shoot and our wedding. His prices were fair and the quality (and quantity) of the pictures exceeded our hopes! We thoroughly enjoyed working with him throughout the process!
I cannot explain how happy we are with these photos. PJ is a true artist who captured every aspect of our wedding day perfectly. We did a destination wedding. When picking a venue he helped explain how the photos would turn out due to the lighting and other factors. Listening to his advise made everything turn out beautiful.
Having PJ photograph our wedding was amazing. Every shot was taken with the utmost thoughtfulness and care. The quality of our pictures are stunning. Not only that, he was great to talk to, laugh with, just overall wonderful company. Now we have photos that we will be able to look back on with smiles, and happy tears.... Thank you so much, PJ!!! My husband and i thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you for capturing moments that will be remembered for a life time. If you're thinking of booking PJ as your photographer, DO IT. You will not regret it!!!
I had a great experience working with PJ throughout the whole process! I would highly recommend using PJ as you wedding photographer.
PJ was awesome! He shot our wedding July 2021 and did a wonderful job. Though there were plenty of snags, PJ was flexible and worked hard to make sure we captured the important and beautiful moments. PJ hopped every hurdle our guests threw at him and had an amazing attitude through the whole evening. He gave us some wonderful memories and we can't thank him enough.
PJ accommodated our elopement including hiking a few miles in to a remote area and delivered the best photos of us we've ever gotten taken. We wanted a private feeling for eloping and he did an amazing job of getting photos of everything without us even noticing he was there at times. Friends and family have been blown away with the photos and we can't wait to get a lot of them printed and hung on the wall and into a photo album.
I knew instantly from looking at PJ's portfolio that he was the perfect fit for our mountain wedding. We did both our engagement and wedding photos with PJ, and we couldn't be happier with how they turned out. He was on time, professional and friendly the entire time. So happy to have these photos to look back on for our lifetime.
PJ made our wedding elopement so easy and fun. We had such a wonderful time hiking in Colorado with him to get the most spectacular photos we could have ever imagined. The weather was a little all over the place that day but PJ made us feel comfortable and confident that he would deliver fantastic photos regardless, and wow did he ever. I can't recommend him enough. He was respectful, professional, and just a joy to be around. We can't wait to work with him again in the future for other sessions. Book him now! :)
PJ was absolutely fantastic and exceeded our expectations. I loved his style of work from the very beginning but he really made it a great experience! If you like a more real and less staged look to your photos he is the best. Got all the family and photos we needed and wanted, but truly when we received our photos we were absolutely blown away with everything he had done. Such an amazing person to work with and the best part was we had a great time having him there to capture everything. Would recommend to anyone and everyone!!
PJ photographed our elopement and we couldn't have picked a better photographer. He did a great job taking candid shots and captured the essence of every moment. PJ was personable and professional which made the experience very fluid and comfortable. I highly recommend PJ for your photography needs. I mean just look at the pictures!

Hi there! I am PJ (Pieter-Jan), the adventure-loving, camera yielding dude behind PJ van Schalkwyk Photography. I am a wedding and portrait photographer based in Fort Collins, Colorado. I'm really thankful that you stopped by! I am originally from South Africa and my photographic journey started in 2012 in South Korea where I was teaching English. Over the course of 5 years, I traveled to several countries with my camera, developing documentary storytelling skills and I was even published by prestigious publications such as National Geographic. Since 2017 I have been living in Colorado where I have been busy photographing many couple's elopements, portraits, and weddings and it's important for me to deliver beautiful and meaningful images to you, but also making sure your day is relaxed and does not have any unnecessary stress is also a very high priority for me.
