Red Velvet Photography

Hi my name is Leanne van der mescht and I am the owner and creator of Red Velvet Photography. I started taking photos at the age of 17 when I was still in high school in 2011. Starting off as an hobby it grew into a passion. I am a self thought photographer and have learned through the years to better my photos. In 2013 I started with photographing weddings and from there on till this day I have done about 8 wedding shoots. I did photography as a part time job coming out of high school as I studied wedding planning for a year. After that the passion grew and grew and now I am doing it full time. This year I will however be studying and doing courses for Photography to better my work even more. I always try and think out of the box when it come to photoshoots. TO bring new and bright ideas to forth. I myself am also a very spontaneous and outgoing person and always try and relax the mood as far as I can. In the near future I am planning on starting underwater photography. Bringing something completely new to the plate.

Where did the name originate from:
Well I have a very great passion for baking as well and I have this very famous red velvet cake recipe I got from my sister whose mother in law own Tessa's bakery in Cape Town. a very well know bakery. Not only is this a very well know red velvet recipe but it is the best tasting red velvet cake and cup cakes I have ever come to eat. Its name was so unique I could not resist naming my business after it as I feel I am a very unique photographer.

thank you for taking the time to reading this

May God bless you in all you do and all the dreams and plans you have. My advice to you:

Never give up on your passion no matter the negative comments, people speaking bad behind your back or any discouragement, because at the end off the day it only will make you stronger and you WILL be success. Rejoice in difficult times for your Lord God is with you always.

greetings
