Months of dedicated planning, budgeting and the associated stress has gone into the preparation of your special day. Believe it or not, it’s all over before you realize it.  The reality is that all that you will have left are the memories of your day captured by your photographer. These photos will be shared not only by you, but by your friends and loved ones for the rest of your and their lives. Hence, it goes without saying that one needs to take careful consideration when choosing a photographer. The next question is how does one go about doing this?
 
Firstly, it is common that all to-be-married couples are limited by budgets.  The first step would be to peruse photographers that fall within your budget. One of the most accessible avenues would be to visit these photographers’ web sites to obtain an idea of their style. Select a few photographers whose style falls within your forte and thereafter arrange a meeting with each of them. At this meeting you should insist on viewing their portfolio/s in print. It should always be kept in mind that photographers will only use their best, most recognised and loved photos in their portfolios to obtain the desired result. There are photographers who have been taking wedding photos for a number of years and hence their portfolios are fully endowed with their best photos. Keeping this in mind, it is imperative that you ask your photographer to have a look at a “sample wedding”. Perusing the sample wedding allows you the opportunity to have a look at all the photos of a specific wedding in its entirety. It goes without saying that this will not only allow you to get a feel of the photographer’s style but will also give you the opportunity to examine the quality and consistency of the photos.

Another important tip which needs to be kept in mind is that your photographer will spend majority of your special day with you, and hence you need to ensure that you and your partner not only feel comfortable around this person, but that you have the necessary faith and belief in that your photographer will not only keep you relaxed but you will also feel rest assured that the photographer will not add to the stress accompanied with a wedding. If this is neglected, unfortunately, it will show in your photos.

 
Natural, timeless, and spontaneous photography best describes my photographic style. My experience coupled with my love of photography will ensure that your expectations are not only met, but well exceeded. I understand the extreme importance and personal nature of a wedding and hence I avail myself to ensure that I work closely before hand with not only the to-be-married couple but as well as with your family and friends. This not only gives you peace of mind but ensures that I capture all the decisive, intimate and romantic moments throughout your special day. I invite you to compare my portfolios, as well as my packages with other photographers in the industry and I do believe that you will be pleasantly surprised.

Wishing you the best with your planning.

A stunning bride! A great groom! Tearful moms, brave dads, laughing children and superb friends.  These are the moments that weddings are made of.

Our responsibility is to capture these moments – the big, the small, the funny and the sad so you have a true reflection of your wedding day.

Our photography begins with the bride’s preparations and continues through the day to capture both formal and spontaneous moments.  Regardless of which package you choose, there will be plenty of fun bridal party photographs and some gently directed family portraits, and many pictures of friends and family to enjoy.  Should any of my packages still not meet with your requirements, I’d be more than happy to customize something for you.

All your photographs will be edited, to ensure that it’s perfect. You will receive your photographs in colour, black & white and sepia.  Which will also be given to you either on CD or a Slideshow DVD, with your choice of music?

I’m based in Pretoria, Gauteng, but am prepared to travel anywhere in Gauteng.

Every woman has something unique about her. And every woman should celebrate that. Through the heartaches, troubles and hardships of life, every woman learns to adapt, extend and survive. I am Linda Cloete, and I am here to make you new.

You see, you already have beauty inside you and I am here to transfer that beauty into all aspects of your life. I don’t just look at the outside, but start healing from the inside out. I believe that every woman has beauty inside her, waiting to be revealed.

From working on a Kibbutz in Israel as a young woman, to picking up my very first make-up brush in 2004 and working in the clothing industry from 1999, I have come a long way in fulfilling my destiny – to work with women and show them their beauty.

Every client who walks through my doors becomes a friend and companion and it makes me truly happy to see how a life can be transformed through the application of simple tips about make-up and dress code, and more than that by being offered a listening ear and open heart. In my more than nine years in the clothing industry and 5 years as make-up and image consultant, I have noticed that woman don’t want a quick makeover, but they want to feel appreciated and admired, and through my art I aim to achieve just that. The old saying of ‘beauty comes from within’ rings true, as it gives me great pleasure to see how a woman is healed right in front of my eyes by the service I provide.

Women should be treasured. Loved. Respected. And pampered.

I am Linda Cloete and I invite you to enter The Image Room and walk this exhilarating road with me. It’s all about beauty from the inside out.
