Amy was truly the best wedding planner and day of coordinator a bride could have. From the moment I talked with her over the phone about becoming my wedding planner and day of coordinator, I knew she would be most helpful. I had a few ideas for overall vision of the wedding and she took that and ran with it. She was alongside me throughout the entire planning process for our wedding day and rehearsal dinner. Amy was a true joy to work with - she had a great level of professionalism, communication, and dedication to making my wedding dreams come true. She is also one of the kindest people I've been lucky enough to get to know. Every time I felt stressed or overwhelmed, she took on the task and lifted any stress she could from my shoulders. I couldn't imagine what my wedding day would've been without her. She recommended vendors, floral arrangements, thoughtful touches, and created the entire timeline. When it came to the wedding day, she was keeping everyone on track and made sure I was able to just enjoy the day with no stress whatsoever. Thank you Amy and team for helping create my perfect wedding and allowing me to enjoy as many moments as I could when the day came!

Alex and Dillon are THE BEST!! We booked them for our wedding in Lake Geneva and they were absolute rockstars. They were excellent to communicate with and answered all of my (many) questions throughout the planning process really quickly. They were perfectly professional and outstanding bartenders, and easily accommodated making our signature cocktails and even a featured mocktail. They provided a detailed shopping list ahead of time to make sure we knew exactly what, and how much, alcohol to buy, which was SUPER helpful since we would've had no idea how much to buy for the number of guests we were hosting. All we had to do was bring the alcohol, and they did the rest- cups, garnishes, napkins, service, etc- they had it covered. We cannot say enough good things about this exceptional business. Book them NOW!!! Thank you Alex & Dillon!!!!

Tia’s team did an amazing job with mine and my girl’s makeup for my wedding day. Tia was always quick to respond and great at communicating. The reason for 4 stars is a communication error on the location of my trial. I had driven 30 minutes to the incorrect location that was emailed to me and had to drive another 30 minutes to the correct location. Obviously I was not penalized for being late and they did handle this very well by upgrading my makeup. Tia was quick to email me and apologize for the mistake.

Where to even begin with Brittany! First of all she is an amazing person through and through! On our wedding day 2/22/25 she was early and got right to work. She helped us out in ways we couldn't even imagine. She gave us pointers on our nephews fiasco of a suit, ensured it would work out and made it not a big deal. The entire process with Brittany was flawless, she guided us and somehow found our esthetic with the little knowledge we gave her! Her skills are unmatched and we will be considering her for any photos we need in the future! We are excited to see the photos, Brittany showed us some raw pictures on her camera and we were immediately hooked on what she was getting, just ask my now wife Alaina who has said at minimum 5 times a day, "ugh I can't wait to see the photos" "oh I know theses are going to be great" Thanks for everything Brittany! Update we received sneak peeks and are in absolute shock and awe. Brittany had a true talent for this all!

They even went above and beyond to include a special song we requested that wasn’t in their database for our ceremony, which meant a lot to us. The uplighting looked amazing and totally elevated the space, and the fun light effects during the reception added such a great vibe.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot put into words just how instrumental Lauren and her team were to our wedding day. I truly do not think it would have been possible without her. In case you need convincing, here are the top 10 reasons why you should have hired LAR Photography for your wedding yesterday: 1) (the most obvious reason) She is a genius behind the camera. She has a true talent for finding the beauty in every moment and capturing it. 2) She has a knack for making getting your picture taken not feel awkward, something we were very afraid about as people who don't often find themselves in front of a camera. 3) She has a wonderful team of people behind her. Shout out to Jared and Ashley as our second shooter and day-of coordinator respectively! 4) She goes above and beyond to make sure the final product is perfect (ie: color correcting every picture for my beautiful, wonderful maid of honor who unfortunately ordered the wrong color dress). 5) She is an expert on all things weddings. Lauren was the one who answered most of our wedding questions throughout the year-long process. This was not limited to photography questions. She knows how weddings work and gave us invaluable information about our timeline, our rehearsal, coordinating with other vendors, and the logistics of set up and tear down. 6) With Lauren, we felt like we were her only clients. Whenever we had a question, Lauren answered. She truly spent hours with us on the phone during the planning process. 7) On the wedding day, she is not just a photographer. Her and her team took care of literally everything that went wrong. They handled decor that broke. They made sure everyone in the wedding party was taken care of. Lauren even bustled my dress on when my mom and I couldn't figure it out. 8) Lauren is dedicated to her craft and her client's vision. We tasked her with taking a group picture that included every guest at our wedding. Was she too short to do this? Yes. Did she stand on a chair to get the shot anyway? Also yes. 9) The sheer volume of pictures that we got back from our wedding is outstanding. We have hundreds. During our first look through, we saved pictures that really stood out as favorites. We ended up adding 121 pictures to that favorites album. 10) Lauren is just an amazing person. She is dependable, professional, dedicated, compassionate, flexible, and a powerhouse behind the camera. We are so glad we found her.

I could not have dreamt up a better photographer for our wedding than Taber Lacie... I don't even know where to begin. Booking her was easily the best decision we made of all our vendor choices. Her talent is just through the roof. There are certainly plenty of photographers out there who are talented and it can be tough to narrow down, but what I think separates Taber from the pack is how, in addition to being uniquely talented and passionate about her work, she is also affordable, incredibly fun to be around, and will stick around for the ENTIRE day and night. The importance of having a photographer who is laid-back, directive (in an enjoyable and super helpful way!), hilarious, and overall a joy to have with you is so underrated; it can really make or break your mood for the day since they're there, ideally, throughout every part of your day. In terms of her rates, I truly believe she could charge double what she does and still be worth every penny. The fact that she included a free engagement photo session (in part to help you ensure it's a good fit) and stayed through the reception was such a gift. That said, if I had to pinpoint one aspect of what makes Taber so special and why I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer is that she tailors her photographs to your preferences and taste. We are a huge fan of dancing photos, for example, and holy cow did she come through. She sends out a questionnaire before the big day and its purposefully lengthy so that she can be thorough and give you all exactly what you're looking for. Even if our photos aren't your taste, I highly recommend browsing her site, as her range is as remarkable as is the quality of her photographs. In short, if you book Taber, I am confident she will exceed your expectations just as she exceeded ours.

I've been capturing weddings since 2009. My style is classic/true to color and my approach is a mix of directive (for posed parts of the day) and candid. Overall, I blend into the background as much as possible when it's appropriate, capturing things as they happen and I help you create portraits with gentle direction and humor where necessary. It is your day. let’s work together to make your photos the best record of your memories they can be! I look forward to working with you!

Shawna with LotusFly Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. Her communication style was organized, thoughtful, and attentive - she took detailed notes during our consultations and always followed up promptly. Most importantly, the quality of Shawna's work is fantastic, especially considering her very reasonable rates. She has a true talent for capturing emotional moments and telling the story of the day. On the wedding day itself, Shawna brought a sense of calm and kept everything running smoothly while also fading into the background. She implemented our discussed plans flawlessly and was highly professional yet so easy to work with. We could not be happier with how our photos turned out - Shawna beautifully documented all the special details and joyful memories of our wedding celebration. We enthusiastically recommend LotusFly Photography for any couple's special day!
