• Guesthouse Photography
Similar to portrait photography, we understand the importance of    capturing the unique characteristics of architecture and settings. Let us    capture the atmosphere and special features of your guesthouse’s interior    and exterior.

Hi! I’m Ilani de Villiers and I am a creative, young wedding photographer in Gauteng! Wedding photography is my niche but I am passionate about everything that involves portraits and pictures – from newborn baby photography to maternity pictures and photos with your pets!

I am a photography fanatic and I have a unique, creative, yet relaxed way of capturing your special moments so that you have high quality pictures to last you a lifetime.

I grew up in Kwa-Zulu Natal and moved to Gauteng to pursue a qualification in Multimedia Graphic Design at the renowned Open Window Art Academy. Since then I got married and I have also established myself as a professional in the wedding photography industry.

Throughout my career as a photographer I have maintained a vibrant, spontaneous of my own and I pride myself on good interpersonal skills to be able to give clients the type of pictures they want. My client’s satisfaction is my greatest reward!

I travel to any destination in Gauteng and KZN and all Isense photography wedding packages include a meeting to discuss your needs. Please take a look at some of the photography shoots I have done – I look forward to hearing from you!

Photography regions serviced:

Gauteng: Pretoria, Centurion & Johannesburg.
Surrounding areas: Culinan, Middelburg, Hardebeesportdam etc..

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.
