The Experience

Reviews from past clients & exactly what makes a Coba Photography couple have a worry-free experience

How do I make sure you have a worry-free wedding photography experience?

PROFESSIONAL, PERSONAL AND NON-INTRUSIVE

I pride myself the approach I take from the moment you inquire till way after your wedding day. I want the experience that you have with me to be a professional one, but also personal, because I care about you as a couple and your wedding day 🙂 ‘Cause it is THE BEST DAY EVER!

I take time to send you lots of helpful info to help you plan your wedding day, so that you can get the best images you deserve. I am able to read people well and can handle all kinds of family dynamics, that way I can capture everything in a seamless way. This is YOUR day, so I am there to capture it and it is SO important to me to be non-intrusive in every aspect.

AN EYE FOR DETAIL

Even though I handle things in a gentle manner I am still firm in my work and what you should expect from me through the whole process.

On a wedding day (and at your engagement session) I will make sure that you get LOTS of guidance where it is needed, especially during any portraits or family photos. Even if you are more ‘uncomfortable’ in front of the camera, I will make sure you enjoy the experience.

I am constantly on the look out for MOMENTS as they happen and capturing details at your wedding is my priority. For me the meaning of a wedding day is so beautiful, and I truly believe that God has hand-picked you two for each other. You should probably know that lots of prayers go into your wedding day, especially for good weather 😉

MAGICAL & EFFORTLESS

Those two words are not my own, but what previous clients used to describe their photos. I want it all to feel effortless to you; being in front of the camera, working with me and receiving your final product. TRANSPARENT IN PRICING

My wedding collections start at R16 500 – I LOVE what I do and never want to turn away an amazing couple who are madly in love and value their wedding photos. So lets have that conversation and talk about your budget. Let’s see what we can make work. If you want amazing photos, but you don’t want to spend too much; you perhaps only need me there for the most important parts of your day.

I WANT TO CAPTURE YOUR DAY

I want to hear your story and vision for your wedding day, maybe there are certain aspects or people who are really important that you want photographed – then I want to hear about it. The more I know the better I can capture it all for you.

I love creating an atmosphere that reflects who you are! One that makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera.
The end result of your photos will be warm, intimate & vibrant. The same goes for the Love in Motion Films – I capture all your memorable moments on video.

I am so thankful to the Lord for sending you on our path as our wedding photographer! It was such a pleasure to have worked with you; you are professional yet personal, you have an eye for detail and you are gentle, but also firm in your work. I really had peace that you just had to be our photographer.

Coba Photography. Where do I begin? From the moment you begin to work with her you can expect nothing less than professionalism and excellence, but with such grace and love that only comes from someone that truly has a passion for what they're doing.

- Retseh & Hernus
You don't need to know how to pose for a good photo, Coba will take care of it - directing you (so gently, so kindly - you won't feel bossed around!). It's a huge relief, just being able to trust that your photographer doesn't need micromanaging. Coba's photos are a big part of drawing us back to those special days.

Coba is professional, friendly, and incredibly talented. She helped my fiance pull off a surprise proposal during a photoshoot he had planned for us! During the photoshoot, she provided great direction and made sure we were comfortable throughout the entire thing.

We are so happy with our wedding photos! Your client service was so great and genuine from the beginning. You made the process of finding and getting a photographer so easy and enjoyable. We are so greatful we had you take our wedding pictures and would not want it any other way! Lots of love for you, Coba.

- Antoinette & Piet
Choosing just the right photographer to capture our wedding was incredibly important to us, and we could not be happier that we chose Coba! Not only is her photography beautiful, but her friendly and calming demeanor, together with her professionalism, made us feel completely at ease. She was also so helpful throughout the whole process.

Yes, I do 🙂 Some packages include a second photographer as well.

Post processing is the most time consuming part after a wedding. I work hard to ensure each image meets a particular artistic standard. I colour correct all the images so that the tones of the images are consistent. But if there is a blemish that decided to make it’s debut on your wedding day, I will make sure to remove it.

YES! All my couples are always very happy that they did an engagement shoot. It is a nice way for all of us to get to know each other, and for you to have a practice run in front of the camera. I promise you, IT IS A LOT OF FUN! 🙂

It varies with each wedding collection, but with most weddings I deliver between 600-1000 images. For couples sessions +/- 80 images.

I only use professional camera gear. I started out with Canon and currently I am also using Fujifilm with a variety of different lenses.
