LETS CREATE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL TOGETHER

ELATION is more than a name, it’s a reflection of what I feel every time I witness a genuine moment unfold behind the lens. Elation is the joy in a glance, the stillness in a soft touch, the quiet beauty of simply being present.Photography, for me, is deeply personal. It’s not just about taking pictures—it’s about honouring stories.  Whether we’re documenting the rush of a wedding day or the intimacy of everyday love, my purpose remains the same: to create photographs that feel like home—honest, emotive, and enduring.

Our vision is to preserve the beauty of human connection through timeless, artfully-crafted imagery. We believe in capturing not just how moments look, but how they feel—honest, tender, and full of life.Every story is one-of-a-kind, and we are here to honor yours with intention, warmth, and creativity. Through every session, we strive to create a space where you feel seen, celebrated, and effortlessly yourself—so your photos reflect the truth of who you are and the love you share.

A Storyteller in Light

I’ve always believed that the most beautiful moments in life don’t ask for attention — they simply happen. A shared glance. The brush of a hand. The sound of quiet laughter between people who love each other. Those are the moments that move me, and they’re the ones I’ve built Elation Photography around. 

My name is Carli Cloete, and I’m the storyteller behind the lens. Photography found me in the small, ordinary moments — the kind that most people rush past, but I could never stop noticing. I’ve always been drawn to emotion, to connection, to the way light softens against skin or how love can be felt even in silence. Over time, I realised that capturing those fleeting feelings was more than just something I loved — it was something I was meant to do.
