Testimonials

Thankyou cards!

Dear Lel,
My professional make-over and photo shoot by you was a wonderful experience, and the photos are lovely. The whole experience was worthwhile, enjoyable, and a boost to my self-esteem. I felt pampered having my make-up done, and hair styled; and your friendly, understanding manner made me feel very comfortable during the photo shoot – hey, everyone deserves to feel like a model occasionally! You were very patient and obliging fitting in a number of clothes changes at the studio and on location. And as if that isn’t enough, I ended up with some great photos – exactly what I was looking for!

I might not be a young woman anymore, but you managed to create some beautiful photos of me to share and keep as I like.

Thank you so much.
Best wishes,

Helen, Shellharbour.

We just wanted to say thank you for your time and effort you spent on my wedding day, from the hair, make up and of course the gorgeous photos. Not only did my wedding day photos turn out beautiful, so did my pre wedding shoot, that you threw in for us in our package.

We had fun with the pre wedding shoot, we felt comfortable around you and you made it easy for us to work with you. You spent your time with us, you didn’t hurry us, we came up late and you took the time to get every shot you could, even till 8pm that night. The pre wedding makeover you did was fabulous; felt like a star, the experience was fun. Frank loved it and didn’t now what he was in for on the actual wedding day!! The photos turned

With the wedding, you ran well ahead of schedule and you had 6 girls including my hair and make up that you had to do all on your own. The minute you got there in the morning you wasted no time and got straight into it. You made the day stress free, and if there was something we needed to fix, you fixed it straight away with no questions asked. Your profession skills and great personality is what made our day a successful one. You allowed for laughter and fun which made the day run smooth with no stress.

Just want to say thank you Lel for making me feel like a princess on my special day. You captured every shot from beginning to end, and awesome pictures of the helicopter arrival. I will recommend you to anybody that I know of that gets married in the future. All the very best with your career :)

For my wedding I hired Lela to do not only my photography but to do our hair & make up. This was probably the best decision I made for my wedding. Unlike so many stressed brides to be, I was totally relaxed on my wedding day knowing I did not have to worry about going to the hairdressers with my brides maids and then off to the makeup artist. What a nightmare that would have been!

Instead everyone came over to my house to enjoy coffee, light snacks and some chit chat while having our hair and makeup done. It was a wonderful experience as we had photos taken to capture every moment with the bridesmaids and myself taking some action shots of Lela at work. Lela’s warm and friendly nature made all of the wedding party comfortable and relaxed.

I was also impressed with Lela’s professionalism and artist view with each and every photo and feel confident with my wedding photos to enter into ‘Bride of the year’ competition. Wish me luck!!

For all brides to be, I highly recommend you to consider using Lels Hair, Makeup & Photography for your special day.

Thank you Lela for your ongoing support and excellent service. I wish you all the best for the future.

"Dear Lel,

We can’t begin to thank you for the awesome job you did in capturing every special moment from our wedding day. We couldn’t be happier with the hundreds of photos, the hundreds of memories that we will cherish for a lifetime.

You exceeded our expectations!

Through the whole process of finding our perfect photo locations, to the arranging of photos at your studio, your relaxed approach and enthusiasm for your work made our wedding all the more enjoyable.

We are honoured to have had you as our Photographer and we truly appreciate your efforts.

Every moment of our special day is now recorded by these wonderful photographs, and we can re-live our wedding day over and over again.

We would highly recommend your photography to anyone who is seeking exceptional quality photos, within budget, and who wants to own all of their photos forever.

We can’t forget your Hair & Make-Up services you provided to myself and my bridesmaid on my wedding day! You made us all feel so relaxed and comfortable... what may have been a nerve-wracking, pre wedding ordeal, was instead, a whole lot of fun, a lot of laughs, and the end results were, if I do say so myself, just beautiful! From our initial contact, Lel, you were professional, friendly and reliable. You gave us exactly the look we desired for our wedding day; sophisticated and understated.

The whole day was a really beautiful experience.

Thank you for your very important part in it!

Your relaxed but responsive approach to every request gave us a sense of calm that this important task was in superior hands. Your expert composition coupled with the quality of the prints and bound albums gave us a documented version of the day that will last forever.

Thanks again for the memories Lel, and we sincerely wish you all the future success that you deserve.

Warm Regards,
Hollie & Steve Goroch"


"I found Lel to be very friendly and enthusiastic; she was very professional and didn't waste a minute of our time or an opportunity for a great photo. The end result of our hair, makeup and photos was all beautiful and having her doing all three made the day very smooth and stress free. We really appreciate all the effort and hard work you put in!!!!!

"Thank you Lel for all the work you did to make our day run seamlessly and stress free. I’ve only been closely involved in two other weddings, one of which we got locked out of the Bride’s house while we were at the hairdresser and the other we had to travel to the hairdresser and make-up artist when the weather was so bad it was raining sideways.

Our day, however, was completely relaxed with you there with us the whole day, getting to know us while doing our hair and make-up (both of which turned out EXACTLY as we had asked) and then topping the day off with sensational photos. The full hair, make-up and photography package is a brilliant and very cost effective idea and please feel free to give my number as a referee to any prospective brides. Your relaxed but organised attitude enabled us to just relax and enjoy our wonderful day.

Thank you so much, you’re a star! Lisa & Gary Rock 14 March 08"
