White bridal shoes, perfume, baby's breath flowers and jewellery arranged together on a wedding morning.

Kind words from some of the lovely people I've had in front of my camera. From the planning beforehand to how they felt being photographed and, most importantly, what they thought when their gallery landed in their inbox.

Jasmine & Isaac

“Lysanah photographed both our engagement and wedding photos. We had never done a photo shoot before, but Lysanah made us feel so comfortable that we had so much fun doing it! For our wedding, we discussed the importance of being able to get back to our guests, but also having time to get some sunset shots. Lysanah worked with us on the timeline and was a source of knowledge and experience when organising our day. The photos were absolutely beautiful, and we were given a sneak peek quickly after each shoot. Highly recommend!”

“We had such an amazing experience with Lysanah! She was so kind and lovely and made the entire shoot so enjoyable. She worked with my fiancé behind the scenes to help surprise me and capture his proposal during the shoot, which made everything feel even more special and seamless. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful, and we were blown away by how quickly the gallery was delivered.

Everything about her service was wonderful, from the communication before and during the shoot to the overall experience itself. We would 100% recommend her! She is so talented at what she does, has such great people skills, and makes you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.”

jade & Tyler

“First off, I’d like to mention how approachable Lysanah was; we were greeted with the warmest, biggest smile and sweetest voice, which immediately put me at ease. In the first moments of meeting her, she made us feel like close friends, and throughout the whole experience, we felt completely comfortable and relaxed.

She offered reassurance, which helped us feel more confident and excited. I really appreciated the way she asked permission before moving my hair out of my face, as she understood how personal that space is.

To her assistant and professional bridesman/veil guy, well done man! It was such a beautiful experience that we will always remember. Thank you!!!! 

We would absof**kinglutely recommend her!! Being a photographer is more than taking photos, and with Lysanah, I was more comfortable and more confident than with most others. She is an awesome person who understands what it takes to go deeper than just the image she captures.”

“Absof**kinglutely would recommend her! she made us feel like close friends.”
