Luigi Lombard, your days are numbered.
Luigi Lombard you are an absolutely disgusting human being. Arrogant and *********! Claims to be of faith but will **** and lie and ***** from you. I have been waiting 7 months just to be delivered the most disgusting low quality, shaky and thrown together video I think my 8 year old nephew would have edited better. The only time he communicates is when he wants your money! Otherwise will ignore or claim to be "busy" al the hours of his days. I am shocked he even showed up to our wedding! R16650 ****med out of my hard earned pocket! DO NOT USE THIS "COMPANY"!!!!

Very unprofessional
I wish I could give it zero star, the level of unprofessionalism is too much. The only time he contacts you is to ask for money. After that he is no where to found. Luckily he pitched at the wedding but good luck getting your photos and film from him. My wedding was in October last year and im still chasing and waiting. It's honestly unbelievable.

Luigi Lombaard, Wild Wilderness Photo & Film
Words can scarcely convey the profound betrayal and heartache caused by Luigi Lombard and his so-called photography company, Wild Wilderness Photography. What began as a hopeful journey to capture the most cherished moments of our lives quickly descended into a nightmare. We booked a wedding package, trusting Luigi to immortalize our love story—only for him to vanish on the day, offering the excuse that he had been hospitalized. It was the first crack in what would soon reveal itself as a foundation of deceit. But the nightmare didn’t end there. After receiving a substantial 50% deposit, Luigi became a ghost, avoiding calls and ignoring messages, leaving us scrambling for answers. It was clear we could not entrust him with the responsibility of preserving the memories of our wedding day, a day that should be sacred and filled with joy. Forced to seek another provider under immense stress, we were mocked and belittled when we dared to ask for the return of our hard-earned money—a refund for services he never even attempted to deliver. Even when we sought justice through the courts and won, Luigi’s responses were nothing more than empty apologies and hollow promises. Each pledge to repay was another layer of false hope. His audacity knew no bounds. He claimed to be a man of faith, yet his actions reflected anything but integrity or compassion. Despite the court issuing a warrant of execution, he had the gall to once again spin sob stories, exploiting our empathy. And we, trying to act with grace as our faith teaches us, gave him chance after chance. But as Scripture warns, "like a dog returns to its vomit," Luigi repeatedly reverted to his ********* ways. He is a man utterly devoid of honor, a perpetrator of lies, and a master manipulator who preys on the trust of others. Let this be a dire warning: if you value your memories, your peace of mind, and your dignity, do not—under any circumstances—consider Wild Wilderness Photography. Luigi Lombard is not just a ********* man; he is a disgrace, a *****ulent figure cloaked in the guise of professionalism. Luigi, justice will come. Not from us, but from the One whose word never returns empty. You have mocked us, but in doing so, you mock the very principles you claim to stand for. Rest assured, His justice is unwavering, and it will find you.

Horrible experience with empty promises
If I could review with zero stars, I would. Luigi Lombaard was the photographer on our wedding. After the wedding, he did not answer my whatsapp or phone calls. When my husband phoned him and whatsapped him he would say he is busy. On the invoice a 30 day turn over was promised, and 650+ photos covering all the events of the wedding including the reception, speeches, first dance etc. We took table photos with our guests. The package we took included a printed canvas and personlised usb. Four months after the wedding we received -+ 500 photos. Nothing else. Luigi is not answering his phone and ignoring us. I would not recommend to use him, since this was very unproffesionel and his lack of communication is disastrous.

****mer
Luigi (Wild wilderness photography) what can I say? You have ****med so many couples out of their money. Luigi books shoot, demands the deposit and balance. He does not pitch but send someone else whom he never pays and couples don’t receive their pictures as he does not pay the photographer. No answering of messages at all. He even blocks you. Threatens photographers with lawsuit should they sell the pictures to the couples. Do not use this man for anything at all.

Avoid at all costs
Luigi Lombard is a huge ****mer, avoid booking with him at all costs! I booked them after seeing their ad on Facebook and paid the deposit. I grew suspicious of them after their lack of communication and did further research when I found multiple bad reviews and news articles about them. I contacted the brides they worked with and all of them explained their horror with wild wilderness. They **** brides by promising they would come to the wedding but then send a 3rd party photographer on the day, they don’t fulfil their contracts and they also make brides wait more than 6months for their pictures and don’t show for engagement shoots. Their communication is pathetic. We were lucky enough to figure them out in time and cancelled with them a month before the wedding. They have been ghosting us for weeks, despite my lawyer sending them a letter of demand for our deposit. We are in the process of gathering evidence for a legal battle. I am also working closely with other brides to create awareness about Luigi and wild wilderness to ensure other brides don’t get ****med as well

Wild Wilderness Photo and Film - Luigi Lombard. I will not stop posting reviews until i get my money back
I seldom write reviews, but after my distressing experience with Luigi Lombard and his so-called Wild Wilderness Photo and Film, I feel compelled to share a warning. If you value your time, money, and sanity, steer clear of this operation. From the outset, we were deceived by the instagram page and photos that was not even taken by him. Promising high-quality, professional work with a personal touch, he instead delivered a woeful pound of unprofessionalism and sheer incompetence. After an initial deposit I found myself navigating a maze of excuses and delays. His communication was sporadic at best, with emails and calls often going unanswered. When he did respond, it was with the same rehe****d lines about unexpected issues or not answering at all. We paid a deposit in September 2023, unfortunately all the news and stories only surfaced closer to our wedding date in July 2024. We thus would not have booked with him had we known. We requested a cancellation a month in advance because we did not want to spoil our special day working with someone *********** we thus had to go over our budget and hire other photographers. What makes the situation worse is Lombard’s utter lack of remorse. Requests for refunds were met with hostility and accusations of being unreasonable. His customer service was non-existent, and his attitude was a toxic mix of arrogance and indifference. In conclusion, working with Luigi Lombard and Wild Wilderness Photo and Film was a catastrophic experience. The promises of exceptional service and quality are nothing more than smoke and mirrors designed to lure unsuspecting clients into a financial pitfall. Save yourself the headache and financial loss—avoid this so-called photographer at all costs. Your peace of mind and hard-earned money are far too valuable to waste on this *** Please first google Luigi Lombard Wild Wilderness Photography and go and see the articles in News24 about him. There is also a Whatsapp group with people who were ****med by him, i am in contact with Carte Blanche hopefully he can be exposed before anyone else falls victim. I hope the so called company he works for part time also finds out about this.

Avoid at All Costs: Terrible Communication and Service Delivery
Avoid at All Costs: Terrible Communication and Service Delivery If you're looking for a photography company that excels in frustration and disappointment, look no further! My experience with Wild Wilderness photo and film has been nothing short of a nightmare. Firstly, their communication is abysmal. It's like pulling teeth to get a response from them. Whether by phone or email, they seem to operate in some parallel universe where timely responses are a foreign concept. If you enjoy waiting days for a simple acknowledgment, this is your dream service provider. Secondly, commitment seems to be a foreign word to them. They promise the moon and stars during the initial consultation, but when it comes to delivering, they fall woefully short. They missed meeting deadlines without notice, we had them booked for our wedding when we came across reviews from other people who booked them and immediately realised we need to cancel, we cancelled a month in advance due to fear of having the same issues as other couples leaving us scrambling for alternatives at the last minute. We are still awaiting a refund of our deposit and we receive absolutely no communication when you do message them from a new number to respond but once they know who you are they stonewall you. Save yourself the headache and the heartache. There are plenty of other photography companies out there who actually value their clients and know how to run a professional operation. Wild wilderness photo and film clearly isn't one of them. We will be flying out to Joburg soon to make a case at the police station, we cant allow these people to **** anyone else and ruin any other weddings.
