I could share these lovely couples wedding photos for  a long time, as this wedding certainly was one the most pleasant and amazing I have ever had the privilege to shoot. Both of them are profoundly crazy about each other and in his speech the groom proclaimed how much he loves her and how he will forever try and make her happy.

She was a very beautiful bride and couldn’t stop smiling. They are both quite shy but seemed to be able to crawl out of their shells a bit on the day. We kept praying for the rain to stay away. It obeyed and only after the wedding – after having packed up and on my way home it poured down something fiercely. They made for  great couple shots and their bridal party was full of fun.

The pink colour she chose for her colour scheme made for very striking photos, as the pink came through so strongly and the bridesmaids looked lovely.

I wish Shaun & Tascha only the best; they deserve their share of happiness.

This was such a great wedding, definitely one I shall remember for a long time. Mostly I think for the wonderful colours in the sky that day, and the beautiful atmosphere the couple themselves created.

He thanked her so sincerely in his speech for loving him, and he vowed to always try and make her happy.  In secret she told how overwhelming it actually can get to know a man loves you so much.

They were so perfect, and so much fun, and I enjoyed their unique little ways with each other so much. Their reception was held outside, and even though dark clouds loomed at one point, the rain blessedly stayed away until everyone was gone.

Wedding photos are the most amazing challenge, but then you get to work with a couple, who have tears in their eyes when they see each other for the first time when walking towards each other in the aisle, and can’t stop kissing each other for the rest of the day. To Shaun & Natasha, lots of blessings, and it was an honour to spend the day with you.

Valentine’s Day can be so commercially seen, but in actual fact it was created, in February, to have the whole month be seen as the month of love, a special time for lover’s to just reconnect, and remember why they are together, amongst all of life’s chaos. Many businesses cash into the idea, and it has become such a big fiasco, that many people now dread when February come round, because it will just be another special day, ruined by commercialism. Through our passion and love for what we do, we would like to bring the tender feeling again for Valentine’s Day, back to its original intention and meaning.

Photos are forever and even now seeing the comical photos of my parents when they were young people and having a blast at life, I find very special, and it makes you nostalgically think back at some great times. We try and create some memories for your mind’s bank here at the studio, by getting images of everyone, which represents the love you share.  Valentine’s Day could still be special, and the spark could still be brought into it, because you will not just give a gift that is disposable, and gets eaten like chocolates, or wilts like flowers – it’s the representation of your bond, your promise, and the special something, that brought you together with that person in the first place.

Valentines day specials

A year seems to go by very fast, and before you know it, it’s time for the year-end functions to be held, and many companies regard this as such a big date on their calendar, designated teams are assigned to arrange and organize and event for all the company’s staff to enjoy.

After have had taken such care to make the function something worth remembering, it would be a shame if the memory of it, wasn’t captured properly, to be used with pride in reports or media presentations. Because of our attention to detail, and the inherent need to satisfy our clients and provide great quality products that the studio is proud to present, we shall always make sure to treat you event, or function as high-importance, and we’ll make sure to go through the whole rundown with the organizers, and know exactly what to expect to make the evening run as smooth as it possibly can. We pour our heart and soul into every shoot we do, and we know that you as company trust us to photograph your image, skillfully and professional. Our equipment is of such quality hat is able to handle low-lighting conditions, and if not, we use professional flashes to light speakers or tables.

Your function is a great representation of what you as company stand for, as is our quality in photography, and together in partnership, we’ll make sure to give you amazing products, and enjoy the event with you, working hard to give you excellent results.

Our babies are our precious treasures and we treat all our clients’ babies, as if they are our own children, being sensitive to how little they still are, and how they have certain needs. To photograph babies is not the easiest task, because babies and smaller children rule the world – if they want something done now, chaos breaks out of they don’t get it. Little newborn babies are still used to being very close to mommy and daddy, and being by themselves can be quite intimidating, so we make sure to create a soothing environment, as to not scare them and have their first shoot be a negative experience.

Our Maternity- and Newborn combination package is a great value-for-your-money package, making sure you get those moments of your pregnancy when your tummy is still round and full, showing the miracle of an actual baby living inside of you, and then the shoot with baby is so special, because they seem to grow so fast, that that amazing newborn look with wrinkly skin, and bend-in little knees, start to disappear faster that you would like it to.

Riani has quite the magical touch with these little human beings, she seems to have a soothing touch, and some skills to make sure baby does not freak out in the shoot. Too bright lights, or being too far and too long away from mommy, could unsettle them, and we make sure the necessary is done to make the experience as positive as possible, for both newborn and its very proud parents.

Events are usually held to celebrated certain milestones – many companies have functions all through-out the year, to award staff for prestige or great production, or to just recollect the year that was, and have a function bring everything that has happened together, having people dress up a bit, and feel fancy and special for one evening of great company.

We are very active and busy at events, because many things are happening, and we go around and capture all little and big things. We know time and effort was spent to have décor and details look good, and we capture those with care, we know speeches are important, and make to capture the speakers as they speak, we know the handing over of awards are important and make sure to get those moments, s people had work hard to get those achievements. We are sensitive to the whole event’s happenings, as we want to hand you a well-polished product that was shot and processed with care, and not done unprofessionally.

Use our studio as the best choice for your next event- or function’s photography, as we will make sure to go with the groove of your event, and capture all the things you took the time to plan, and make it special.

Many people have mixed feelings about studio photography, and wouldn’t know what to expect when they book a shoot. Most people only know they want great photos done of themselves, or with them and their family, but knowing what the results will be, or if they will get to loosen up in front of the camera, is unsure to them.

To quote our father here: Louise Diesel Photography

It is rare to be absolutely blown away by something you had average hopes for……this is definitely the feeling I experienced after viewing the results of a recent photo shoot……Professional, relaxed and Fun are a few words describing my experience at Louise Diesel Photography……Can’t wait for the next annual shoot people…..very well done….

Our shoot with this dad and his teenage daughter was tremendous amounts of fun, as they were open to anything, and tried anything. All it takes for good photos is a little bit of an uninhibited feel, and letting go of some shyness, and tentativeness.  A great part of our job is getting reviews like these, knowing people had certain expectations, and then to amaze them with our studio’s quality.

We guarantee a great shoot for everyone and anyone wanting to have their memories captured in a shoot, and we’ll make sure to bring out your personality some, and show the bond you have with your loved ones.
