Testimonials

"I cannot thank you enough for the brilliant portraits you took of our family. We had such a wonderful time and I believe it shows in the photos. I was a little worried about keeping an 18 month old happy and smiling during our shoot, but you were quick and new exactly what to do to keep her entertained. Thank you for such a wonderful experience and we look forward to using your services as our family grows."

"I would like to thank Jo-Ann Vorster for accepting the job of planning and taking photos of our large family. My parents are both aging, my father is 81 and my mother 78. They have always wanted a professional photo of their family. I am one of seven children, with 12 grandchildren. We are a large group and it was always hard to get us together. With the help of Jo-Ann and myself we organized a day at my home for portraits. The day arrived and it was very hard getting everyone to cooperate. Jo-Ann was very professional and had great ideas for the atmosphere and background of the photos. She spent two hours with our family and I have to say the pictures are outstanding. My whole family has seen them and are having a hard time picking them out as they are all excellent. From the Rodriguez family, Jo-Ann we would like to thank you for a very professional job, well done."

"Jo-Ann Vorster is an absolutely outstanding photographer and we can not sing her praises enough. Even before meeting her, her pictures spoke to us, and we knew that she would be the prefect photographer for our wedding. Jo-Ann is both professional and personal and she really made an effort to get to know us so that her images would reflect our style. She spent time meeting with us and doing a site tour to get a feeling for the land (we had an outdoor wedding). She made us feel comfortable and secure in knowing that we were important to her and that she was excited about our wedding. When it came time for the wedding she was flexible and resourceful in the wake of some pretty unusual August weather. She not only captured the essence of our day beautifully, she was able to take, what could have been some very wet images, to pictures that capture the incredible day that we had. I highly recommend Jo-Ann she is an absolutely incredible, warm, friendly and outstanding photographer."
Matt & Lindsay Gilman

"Thank you so much for traveling the long distance to our wedding...The photo's are amazing and serve as a perfect memory for us. We have had some wonderful comments."
Georgina & Pedro Pinto

"...On the big day, the last thing that we worried about was the photographer. In fact, Jo-Ann was so inconspicuous that we barely even noticed that she was around snapping her camera. From make-up application until party time, Jo-Ann was working her magic and was able to capture the entire essence of our event. From the smallest touch of our hands to a lone blue handkerchief wiping away a tear of joy, Jo-Ann captured everything that made our wedding fantastic. Jo-Ann’s skills, not only behind the camera but in developing her images, really brought our photos to life. We can honestly say that every picture was our favorite which made the decision quite easy in having Jo-Ann further use her skills in creating a fabulous coffee table book for us. It is a small but unique reminder of our wedding that sits on our coffee table every day and we don’t have to worry about lugging out a large photo album to show guests photos. Thank you Jo-Ann for all of your hard work, it shows in the truly amazing photos that you captured. We look forward to having you capture the growth of our lives together."

"Our wedding was a week-long celebration that spanned over two countries and Jo-Ann was there every step of the way...From the moment we contacted Jo-Ann to take us on she started planning. I bombarded her with question after question and request after request. Jo-Ann had every answer and, without frustration, she encouraged me to ask anything. I never had to wait longer than a day to get a response...Jo-Ann researched the resort right away and kept in contact with me regularly with great ideas. One of which was the Trash the Dress Session. We had never heard of this but we thought it was a great idea. We trashed one of my dresses on the beach in Jamaica and the pictures are absolutely amazing! Jo-Ann’s great ideas coupled with her spur of the moment inspirations are what make for breath taking pictures...Our reception in Canada was two days after we got back from Jamaica. Jo-Ann went above and beyond and arrived at the reception with a DVD. The slideshow included photographs of the entire week in Jamaica. Our guests absolutely loved it and commented that it made them feel like they were a part of the Jamaica experience too...Jo-Ann’s talent speaks for itself. It is clear in her work. Our pictures are incredible and they truly capture the celebrations. Jo-Ann’s photographs preserved the week in way that will allow us to go back for many years to come and celebrate with great memories. We know that there are other talented photographers out there that may be able to produce a beautiful image like Jo-Ann can, but what Jo-Ann has that they don’t you will never see itemized on an invoice. Jo-Ann is amazing to work with. Her professionalism when required and humour when needed is what makes her stand above the rest. She understands the stresses and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with a wedding day. Her ability to know when it is time to fade into the background or time to take control contributes to a wonderful day. Jo-Ann is reliable, laid back, a blast to work with and offers top level customer service. We would recommend Vorster Photography time and time again."
