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 professional photographer with a heart

The secret behind Colet’s Photography exceeds the scientific and technological specification of modern photography. It is Nicolette’s personal contact and chemistry with people that make clients return to Colet’s Photography to capture all the special moments forever. As a wedding photographer, Nicolette conducts professional wedding photography with a personal touch. Capture that feeling of expectation in you pregnancy or the announcement of your newborn. Simply introduce your energetic toddler or growing family to the professional photography services and view the capturing of a heart filled masterpiece.

A professional photographer with a smile

Colet’s Photography is passionate about photographs and that photographs should express the humanness and special feelings that can be so easily lost in traditional photographs. Therefore, Nicolette truly enjoys being a professional photographer. No wonder that Nicolette is approached by word of mouth. Prior to wedding photography, Nicolette prefers a personal meeting with the wedding couple to discuss their wedding day and also to assess the chemistry between the bride and groom and their interaction with Nicolette. Nicolette’s adventurous and playful personality makes it irresistible to connect with children and her kiddies and family photographs are pure fun.

A professional photographer with creativity

The limits to the creativity that Colet’s Photography applies during photo shoots are unknown. Nicolette can capture special moments even if it implies climbing trees, ladders or buildings. Nicolette uses subtle digital post processing to make photographs soft and add that finishing touch. Finally, photographs are captured into unique collages that can serve as a compact compilation of all the special moments, together.

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.

J & D Photography

Photography is our passion. Our skill, creativity and passion for what we do are all reflected in our images.

J & D is a new breed of wedding photographer; we think outside the box to create a more contemporary, “freestyle” type of photography.

J & D is a husband and wife team; you enjoy the extra value of two photographers for the investment of one. Two photographers guarantee that every detail of your wedding day is captured from every possible angle.

We are committed to continually improving our skills and our products. As supporting members of an international forum of professional photographers, we participate in daily dialogue with some of the world’s top wedding photographers: Denis Reggie, Joe Buissink, Martin Schembri, Jeff Ascough, Yervant Zanazanian and James Hodgins to name a few. J & D’s participation in such a diverse professional community keeps us in touch with the latest trends, techniques and styles.

It is said you can tell a lot about a craftsman by the tools he uses. J & D utilizes only state of the art digital cameras and the best lenses available. The capability of these digital tools frees us to be more creative as we capture those unique and memorable moments of your wedding day. In addition to the expected images, we have an eye for the details that truly help to tell your story as it unfolds. We have been known to follow the groom right into his dressing room as he prepares for this special day!

If you are comfortable and relaxed with your photographer, this will be reflected in your wedding images. At J & D we offer an Engagement Session as a way to get to know us.

You benefit three ways: :

Please note, this Engagement Session is complimentary, included in your wedding package at no extra cost to you.

J & D is dedicated to being leaders in our industry. We are one of the first studios in South Africa to produce the innovative Storybook album, a new dimension in wedding albums. No longer are the pages limited to 1 to 4 prints behind a mat. Your images are combined into “magazine style” displays that capture the moments, feelings and nuances of your day in an album that is fresh, modern and uniquely yours. The Storybook album features about 100 images selected by you that are then artistically enhanced and arranged using the very latest techniques. Even the 200 to 300 images on contact cd provided for you to choose from have been retouched with an artist’s eye. All this attention to detail results in imagery that compares to the most fashionable bridal magazines. Your artistically enhanced images can also be compiled onto a premium DVD “movie” with the music of your choice playing in the background. (This DVD may be played on any TV with a DVD player.) This incredible level of expertise doesn’t cost you anything extra – it is just part of the service that J & D delivers to our valued clients.

When you retain J & D Photography as your wedding photographer, we are reserved for you alone for the entire day. You are not limited by a set number of hours – no need to watch the clock. We are there to capture every extraordinary and memorable moment of your wedding day regardless of time…or distance. We do not charge a travel fee, whether the wedding takes place in Gauteng, the Muldersdrift area or within a 100 kilometer radius from Pretoria.

J & D Photography is for people who appreciate and desire the very best in wedding photography. Our skill, creativity and passion for what we do, coupled with outstanding customer service, are your assurance of satisfaction.

Please contact us to arrange a visit to view our portfolios and our sample albums. We look forward to meeting you.
