www.lelaniecraffordphotography.com Making someone feel beautiful and seen, taking a photo of a stranger and seeing their face light up, helping a business or brand showcase their product or service. That's what I am he

re to do, that's my mission. I share the world through my eyes while helping others grow theirs. I make people feel beautiful and seen, and I get to help businesses and brands share their message through notable and creative photographs. Every minute is one I cherish. I love people, and I love photos! Lelanie Crafford Photography is my pride and joy. When I'm not behind the camera I am spending time with Ruby, my cat, or my family. I enjoy socialising and having fun with my friends and I am always be keen to go plant shopping. I absolutely love nature so I enjoy having loads of plants in my house. When I'm not doing any of the above mentioned, I am busy staring at - or doing maintenance on one of the aquascaping aquariums I have. My nose is mostly scrunched up in a good book, or I am working on my next Brand Leadership or Marketing mastery project. I work with incredible people, like you, who are ready to capture and share their memories, talents and the best of all, support each others growth. I have loads of hobbies and even more goals. I am truly dedicated to live a life I am unapologetically proud of, capturing every moment along the way, and hopefully, I inspire or help other people to do the same.

Walking off into the sunset & the start to forever 🤍✨🌇

By the time we hit the beach for their couple photos, it felt less like a shoot and more like hanging out with old friends - which is exactly how it should feel! Those couple photos matter more than people realise.

They’re the ones you’ll frame. The ones your kids will find one day. I don’t take that responsibility lightly - ever.

If you want a photographer who actually shows up for you - who laughs with your gran, remembers your flower girl’s name, and cries a little in the car on the way home - I’m your person. 🥳📸

📌 Based in Gansbaai | Available to travel nationally and internationally.

You only get one wedding day. Let’s make sure you have something breathtaking to show for it.

Alicia & Alwino 💍🤍

The Atlantic stretches out behind them. The Star Wars theme rolled across the sand as Alicia took her first steps toward Alwino. He stood there in his suit, Star Wars socks peeking out at the ankle, smiling like he’d been counting down to this moment his entire life.

If you are planning your wedding and you want someone who will treat your love story like the once-in-a-lifetime masterpiece it is, my 2026/2027 calendar is open, and I would love to hear from you.

Chante and JP was actually on their honeymoon when they came across my photography page and they booked a beach session with me 🥹✨

I’ll always remember the way they laughed together while walking along the beach, the quiet little looks, the “we’re finally married” kind of happiness that you can literally feel standing next to them 🌊

To every couple planning a wedding, engagement, honeymoon, or simply wanting to celebrate your love story - book the photoshoot! Not one day. Not eventually. Now. Because these moments deserve to be remembered 🤍

Let’s turn your love story into something you can step back into for years to come:

Your wedding photos should remind you of the nervous hand squeezes before the ceremony, the way your dress moved when you forgot the camera was even there, and the “we actually did it” smiles. ✨🤍

That’s why choosing a wedding photographer is about so much more than pretty photos.

You’re choosing the person who will make you feel comfortable, present, and fully yourself, while turning your wedding moments into memories you can hold onto forever.

I don’t want you to feel like you’re “posing” through your special day. I want you to laugh loudly, hold each other tightly, walk barefoot if you want to, and actually experience every second of it.

Your photos? They’ll tell the story after. 🤭🥂

If you’re looking for a photographer who cares about the feeling just as much as the photos, my 2026 & 2027 wedding bookings are open - send me a message, I’d loveee to hear your story. ✨📸

Current mood: engaged! 🤭💍🥂

This was such a beautiful surprise engagement. From the nerves and excitement to the tears, laughter, and “YES!” - every moment felt so special.

She was completely surprised, and witnessing their love and the beginning of such a beautiful new chapter was truly an honour to photograph. 🥹 These are the kinds of moments that remind me why I love what I do so much.

Thinking about planning a surprise proposal or engagement shoot? I’d absolutely love to capture the magic for you!

There are so many moments I love about a wedding, but there’s something about the first dance that makes my heart skip a beat ✨

Maybe it’s because I love dancing. Maybe it’s because I love loveee. Either way, there’s something so special about that moment - the nerves, the joy, the way the world seems to disappear for just a little while.

Your first dance, your happy tears, the uncontrollable laughter, the quiet in-between moments, and every memory that makes your wedding day uniquely yours deserve to be captured. I want to help capture your love story in a way that feels timeless, emotional, and real.

These are the photos you’ll look back on 20 years from now - the ones that will take you right back to how it all felt 🤍
