Leah van Zyl Photography

We contacted Leah as we required childrens headshots for theatre casting. From first contact, Leah was extremely responsive and worked around our schedule. Booking her was an absolute breeze. Her studio is well located with convenient parking and a cheeky coffee if you need. Once inside, Leah explained the process and her pricing structure. Her experience is clear to see. She was patient and worked around our children to get their headshots and poses in an efficient manner. Finally - the results... ARE ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! We could not be happier with the images, they truly are stunning. We're so grateful for all of Leah's help and have no hesitation in recommending her to all.

From the very first interaction our experience with Leah was fantastic. She was extremely professional in the pre-shoot briefing -which is a task in itself when trying to organise a group of very excited teenage girls. We discussed our ideas for the shoot and what we were looking for. Leah explained everything throughly and offered some innovative ideas to enhance both our shoot experience and the final product. The shoot itself was extremely fun and held in a very relaxed and friendly studio - we were all made to feel extremely welcome. (Parents and teenagers) The images that Leah produced have totally surpassed all of our expectations. Her professionalism and high standards are the very reason that we will recommend her to literally everyone. We cannot thank Leah enough for capturing the most amazing images and memories.

Was supposed to have a newborn photoshoot with a complementary maternity shoot. The newborn photoshoot did not happen as the baby was born in the lockdown, but as we already had a maternity photoshoot, we agreed to have a baby photoshoot six months later. We had prepared outfits and were waiting for the day only for Leah to cancel the shoot two days before so she could shoot the wedding. As we wanted to have the photoshoot as a mark of the babys six months birthday and were away for the following weeks, we could not and, frankly speaking, did not want to reschedule as this was a sentimental moment for us as we all have missed out on so many things during the c19 time. Apart from that, aftercare, in general, was giving me a lot of anxiety as Leah would not reply to emails for weeks, and when she did, some of the questions would still not be answered. The pricing is also very confusing. The cost of the actual photoshoot is not included in the packages so make sure you ask not only about the cost of the photographs but as well as how much the whole experience will cost you.

Leah is quite simply the best wedding photographer there is. She is a laugh as well and will naturally fit in with your guests and entertain everyone around her. Book her for your wedding if you are lucky enough for her to be available.
