Hi there! I’m so happy to see you here! WELCOME!

My name is Ilse de Klerk and I am a lifestyle and wedding photographer from Oakura, New Zealand. And I’m STOKED to have you here!

Please enjoy browsing through my site and do get in touch with me once you’re done.

I would love to hear from you and get to know you better. Click here you want to know a little more about me.

What does Ilumography mean?

ilum 

(plural ilū or ilānū)

god, deity

illuminate

verb. /ɪˈl(j)uːmɪneɪt/

  1. make (something) visible or bright by shining light on it; light up.

  2. help to clarify or explain.

For many years I couldn’t find a suitable name for my passion. I had to sit and think what my work is all about and it turned out the answer was really easy.

My work is a combination of God/love and light. I had to move halfway across the world to realise it. Now I can’t imagine any other name for my business

The moments may have ended but the memories last forever
