Meet Ilani

HI GUYS! I AM VIBRANT, FRIENDLY AND OUTGOING, AND BELIEVE THAT I HAVE A CREATIVE AND UNIQUE APPROACH TO CAPTURING YOUR SPECIAL MOMENTS. I AM A ROMANTIC AT HEART AND HAVE A DEEP APPRECIATION FOR LIGHT-FILLED IMAGES.

I have been blessed with a beautiful daughter that I treasure with all my heart. We have 2 Boston Terries that keep us busy and love cuddling. I do pottery class once a week which keeps me creative in a different way. I love sushi, Mexican, ice cream and chocolate brownies!

It is important to me that my clients identify with my style as well as my personality, as I find this really brings the images to life. I am a natural light photographer with a contemporary style, who values the small details at weddings. I love travelling, experiencing people and their relationships and capturing that which will hold many happy memories in the future.

My photographs show the subtle beauty of the ordinary things, a smile or laughter, a gentle touch that caresses, the eyes that light up with a beautiful world and the simple moments that take our breath away.

I honestly believe that life is the most wonderful fairy tale of all and I adore reflecting this philosophy through my photos. My ultimate goal is for my work to speak for itself, my client’s satisfaction is my greatest reward!

If you have any questions about me, about my photography packages or would like to know more about my work, please visit my portfolios page or contact me today.

Please note that although I am based in Pretoria, I am happy to travel anywhere in South Africa!

Kind words from clients

Ilani is just wow! I remember contacting her for the first time for my wedding, she was helpful, friendly and professional. Then came our engagement shoot. What was meant to be a 2 hour session turned into 4 hours of absolute fun, this showed me that Ilani not only views photography as a job but as her passion. She just couldn’t get enough of taking our perfect pictures. Our wedding photos are phenomenal and we have the most beautiful and intimate moments captured all thanks to Ilani. Ilani, you made us feel so comfortable throughout our engagement and wedding shoots with you. You made it fun, you made it memorable and I often find myself looking through all of our pictures taken by you. They warm my heart so much. I can’t wait for all of the memories you’ll capture for me in future. Thank you for your beautiful work.

My Fiancé and were looking for a photographer who would be able to capture every precious moment on our special day, but also be able to throw in an element of fun. Ilani was exactly that! From the moment we met her to look at packages to the very last minute of our special day, she was accommodating, kind, patient and loads of fun. She was always willing to go the extra mile and put her best into everything she did, because of that we formed a very special bond with her. One of the things we really enjoyed and appreciated was that she organized to have photos taken with each table of guests. We also received the most exquisite photos from her. I would most definitely recommend her if you are looking for a reliable, willing and talented photographer.

Being a bride nowadays means you are spoiled for choice but as soon as you meet Ilani, the choice is made! Ilani was willing to go the extra mile from the get-go. Her work is always unique as she easily adapts to the couple she is working with. She has great ideas, is full of fun and is very enthusiastic! I would recommend Ilani and her team to any other couple who are planning their wedding.

Tracy-Ann & Clint

Ilani is such a gem! Everything about working with her was an absolute pleasure. So talented, patient and warm. Thank you Ilani, for being part of our love story and helping us create a lifetime of memories!

Sifiso & Mathebe

Its been a great pleasure to have Isense Photography take both our engagement shoot as well as our wedding photos! Even though we did not have a typical wedding venue with the usual backdrops, Ilani worked her “magic” and took some really beautiful photos that captured the essence and special moments of our special day. Each time we look through it, we get to live the day all over again! Ilani, is an extremely professional photographer and we were very impressed with how quickly we received our photos and albums. Thank you Ilani!

Kyle & Jade

Best experience ever! Had a couple shoot, family shoot and (my favourite) a pet shoot! Those photos mean so much to us. Ilani makes you feel comfortable and at ease, and it reflects in her photos. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!
