“Finding a wedding photographer can be overwhelming with so many factors to consider—editing style, creativity, budget, personality, trustworthiness, and professionalism. As we browsed through various photographers’ websites, we discovered we were drawn to images with natural, bright colors and skin tones that didn’t appear to be dull or washed out. When we came across Karisa’s site, we instantly knew her editing style was exactly what we wanted for our wedding day. Reaching out to Karisa was such a great experience. She was very friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and professional. After our initial call, where she explained her photography packages and process, we knew with both her talent and personality, she would be a perfect fit for us. We are absolutely thrilled with our engagement and wedding photos from Love, Lomax Studios. Karisa’s warm personality truly sets her apart—she treats you and your partner like friends rather than just clients. You can tell she genuinely wants to capture the best photos for you and she really takes the time to do that. She listens to your requests of what you are envisioning and she also has many creative ideas of her own. My partner and I had never had a professional photography session done, but after working with Karisa we both felt that she truly has a knack for making everyone feel at ease in front of the camera, resulting in stunning photos that reflect energy and personality. Trusting someone to capture such an important day can be daunting, but I can wholeheartedly say that choosing Love, Lomax Studios was the right decision. Karisa delivered our photos well ahead of schedule, she provided valuable tips and details before our sessions and throughout our planning process, and her lovely presence made our wedding day even more special. We love revisiting our engagement and wedding photos often - her creativity and attention to detail are remarkable. We are so grateful to have chosen Love, Lomax Studios. The beautifully edited photos reflect the love, emotions, and joy of our wedding day and she captured more than we could’ve ever asked for. We can’t thank Karisa enough for preserving these memories for us. We will cherish her work for the rest of our lives. We love Karisa and highly recommend Love, Lomax Studios to anyone in search of a talented and professional photographer—you won’t be disappointed! If I could attach our entire album of photos I would because we love them all, but here are a few of our favorites. Thank you for everything, Karisa!!”

“Amanda was the best choice for our wedding photographer. I was overwhelmed by the cost of other photographers and often felt like photos were too posed or stiff. We also had a lot of family dynamics to work with with several blended families. But Amanda's calm, kind, and patient personality immediately put us at ease. On the day of our wedding, Amanda blended seamlessly into the guests, capturing the most beautiful, fun, and editorial shots without us even realizing she was there. The value we received was incredible - the previews we've seen so far are beyond what we could have imagined, perfectly preserving all the special moments that made our day so unique and memorable. I would highly recommend working with Amanda and would hire her again in a heartbeat!”

Awarded Best of Zola
“If I could give Stefan ten stars, I would. Working with him was an incredible experience from start to finish. He did our engagement photos and our wedding photos and for the former he traveled to New York so we could do the shoot at a location that has a great deal of meaning to us. My husband and I are not people who are usually comfortable in front of a camera, but Stefan goes above and beyond to make sure he is prepared and that you are prepared to have the best shoot possible. He has detailed guides for both engagement and wedding shoots, which were incredibly helpful. He also meets with you to discuss your goals for the shoot, get to know who you are as a couple, and understand the vibe you are going for. Our engagement shoot was on a cold and windy day in a location unfamiliar to him and he did research, arrived early, and knocked it out of the park. For our wedding day, the timeline went exactly to plan and any stress or nerves I was feeling completely melted away because we already knew Stefan was on top of it, knew what we wanted from the day, and that we had a rapport going between us. On our wedding day, our friends and family absolutely gushed about Stefan and how great he is. I can't tell you how many times someone came up to me and said, "Who is your photographer? He is AWESOME." Stefan's style is authentic and he is incredibly skilled. The photos are breathtaking without seeming unnatural or overworked. He is great at capturing your vibe as a couple and making sure that comes through in the photos. He is so easy to get along with and can make even the least photogenic among us (pointing at myself here) comfortable in front of the camera. He is a great photographer and an even more delightful human being and I would recommend him to absolutely anyone.”

“I genuinely can't say enough good things about François and the photos he took at our countryside wedding. From start to finish, he was so easy to work with: attentive, graceful, never intrusive. It really shows in the final album. He captured everything: the venue, the big moments, and portraits of guests from both sides of the family. What I love most about his portraits is that nobody looks stiff or posed. Somehow he manages to bring out each person's personality, which is such a rare thing. And the venue shots! He clearly had an eye for the light, catching it at that golden late-afternoon moment when everything just glows. There's so much happiness in these photos. I keep going back to the album, and every time it feels like reliving the day all over again. Couldn't recommend François more highly!”

My love for photography first started in a high school darkroom, but it took several years and life experiences before I took this love to a professional level. After losing a parent a few years before my own wedding, my desire to capture special moments became not only a passion but a necessity. I discovered a newfound sense of presence and purpose, as well as a desire to bring back that childlike joy that so many of us lose in adulthood. As your photographer, you can count on an experience and photos filled with intention, joy, and warmth. I can't wait to photograph your story beautifully.

From the very beginning, she made the entire process seamless by answering all of our questions, taking the time to understand our vision, and even helping us coordinate our outfits. Kelly is incredibly talented and has such a warm, calming presence that she made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera.

I love how exciting and creative wedding photography can be while also giving me the opportunity to create something that is so meaningful to others. I got started with photography back in Michigan as a kid with my mom's old Minolta SLR. It wasn't until years later at art school in Kansas City that I realized how fulfilling and exciting wedding photography could be. It has been my focus ever since.

“I highly HIGHLY recommend Asa! He and his colleague photographed our December '24 wedding and they did an AMAZING job. Asa has such a calming presence and on such a chaotic and stressful day it was so, so needed. He was so wonderful to work with in the planning and helped us make a thoughtful plan to ensure we got all of the photos we wanted. We had a traditional Catholic mass and he and his colleague were able to easily follow all of the Church's rules while capturing the essential moments flawlessly. We got every photo we wanted during the mass which was incredibly impressive. We also got shots at sunset by the water and Asa perfectly captured our vision! These are some of our favorite photos. He also captured all of the energy and fun that we had and we walked away with multiple photos of every single one of our guests which was such a treat. Lastly - his pricing is so fair and really competitive to all the photographers we got quotes from. He was easily able to work with our budget and was flexible to our specific needs. Overall - I would HIGHLY highly recommend Asa!”

“Tai did our wedding photos and they came out lovely. She was perfect for our budget and didn’t disappoint. My husband and I are long distant as I am so grateful to have these photos to look at while he is away for the next 4-8 months. Thank you, Tai!”

The Lauren Louise Collective 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)

I was born and raised in a quiet seaside town on the South Shore of Long Island. I grew up in a place where good, strong love grows with parents who have been together since they were 16 years old. They taught me that true love grows in the face of hardship and, as strong believers in their faith, that love is, indeed, patient and kind. And so as soon as I realized that wedding photography didn’t have to be posed and mechanical; that I could shoot weddings from a more organic and authentic lens; that I could document a story, not direct one, I was hooked!

“It's undeniable that Lauren is an incredibly talented photographer -- her photos probably already caught your eye hence why you're in this reviews section ;) Aside from the incredible, authentic, editorial, and gorgeous photos Lauren delivered from our wedding, she was also a dream to work with. Lauren is a professional; badass, direct, organized, fun, and most importantly, far from "basic" when it comes to wedding photography. I'm so happy I frantically slid into her DMs years ago when she first started photographing weddings in DC. I will always recommend Lauren and years later, my heart still skips a beat when I fondly look through our wedding photos <3 Thank you, Lauren!!”

“I haven't even had my wedding yet and I am already so so pleased working with Barbara and Luis. We did a spring engagement shoot and wanted even more photos so opted for a second session in the fall, and I felt like the price for an additional hour was super fair and we got a ton of amazing photos (and with our 80lb dog which is not an easy ask)! They really made sure to get to know us and understand what kind of style we are looking for and I feel so confident with them being the photographers on our wedding day!”
