We got married earlier in the year abroad and then had a party in Mauritius for those who weren’t able to make the wedding. This was still a very special occasion for us and we wanted to have it documented. Therefore, we were on the lookout for a good photographer. Through family who had worked with her before, we were able to get in contact with Khatleen who was highly recommended. Although she was booked up before taking time off for personal reasons, she was willing to fit us in.
Khatleen has a magnificent personality and a good sense of humour. From the moment we met her, which was just on the day of shooting the photos, she was nice, easy-going and open-minded, which immediately made us comfortable. She was able to find some great spots to take some nice portrait photos before everyone arrived. Her eye for a good shot resulted in some marvellous natural pictures and made the most of the beauty of Mauritius. Also, she gave us helpful, clear and straightforward directions that put us at ease and made it easier to get into the poses she had in mind. Once she’d spent a little time with us she figured out what she could do with us, what we’d be up to give a go and what might be fun to try out.
She also found out exactly what we wanted to get out of the occasion. We were able to get pictures we’d missed on our actual wedding day. We were over the moon to get those special shots (first look, certain family pictures, pictures with each table at dinner etc.) this time around. Despite being a one-woman band and the challenge of limited sunlight left when we began, she moved fast and captured so many moments over the few hours she was with us. She was very accommodating of letting relatives take their photos around her too.
For this memorable event she was the best addition and we’re glad we managed to book her. We were very happy with the end product. The photos look magical, reflect our personalities and really capture the essence of the event. We ended up with quite a number of pictures too, which was a pleasant surprise.
Khatleen is clearly a very talented, passionate and hard-working professional. She puts a lot of thought, respect and energy into her job. She maintained open communication with us throughout the process and was organised.
We had a lovely experience working with her, were satisfied with the way the shoot went and loved the photos. Khatleen is fantastic, creative and gifted with the unique natural ability to capture a special moment.
