PHOTO AND FILM | Some photographers have a gift fo PHOTO AND FILM | Some photographers have a gift for taking natural, unposed photos. Where the true emotion and energy of a moment are captured. The best kind of photos are the ones that make you feel something. One of the hallmarks of @laurajeanphotos is the ability to document moments authentically, sensitively, and creatively. It's like writing poetry with a camera.

Here are 5 reasons why Laura may be the perfect fit for you:

1. Being married herself, Laura fully understands the financial pressure that comes with planning a wedding. 💍 She knows the struggles of choosing vendors and worrying about the cake-cutting timing. She'll be there to support you and share her wisdom!

2. Keen for a more adventurous, off-the-beaten-track creative shoot? Laura's notorious for bundu bashing and finding the most inaccessible spots to get that perfect shot!🌿📷

3. Laura steps into the role of a bridesmaid on your big day. Need help getting into your dress? 👗 She's got your back. Hair extensions falling out? She'll whip out some bobby pins. Lipstick on your teeth?💄 She'll discreetly let you know. Visible panty line? Not on her watch!

4. Tired of waiting ages for a response? Laura is on top of her game. Unless she's shooting a wedding or sipping eggnog during the holidays, she'll get back to you within 48 hours, even if it's just to acknowledge your message. 🕐

5. At 1.8m tall, Laura's got the advantage of capturing the most flattering angles. Say goodbye to double chins! And if you need to spot her in a crowd, look up – she's the tall one. Yes, she's heard all the weather jokes, but she's glad you noticed! ☁️😄

Laura will turn your precious moments into art that makes you smile, laugh, and cherish your special day.

Alida has trained her eye through the years to see and appreciate authentic emotions and believes that life isn’t about material things – it’s about eye-blink moments and breathtaking experiences.

This mindset has driven her photography style and combines documentary and lifestyle photography to capture every day, unscripted moments as they unfold naturally and authentically.

Using her knowledge of light and position, Alida can create opportunities to freeze life in its tracks. Her creative, laid-back style and keen eye for detail allow her to let these special moments happen and then capture them forever!

Alida’s editing style reflects her insatiable love for life and all of its beautiful colours. The warm, rich tones she weaves into your images will allow your photographs to stay timeless and classic for years to come.
