Luma Weddings captured our dream wedding perfectly. Full disclosure, I've known Kyle over 20 years. He was a very good friend of mine through middle and high school. I've watched him grow up and develop into an amazingly accomplished photographer. Having observed the evolution of his portfolio over the years and his ability to create the perfect image regardless of conditions, it became my dream to have him there photographing my special day when it finally came. While I grew up in Seattle and currently live in Los Angeles, I met and married a man from New York (cue - destination wedding!) It was decided early on to have the wedding at his family's farm out on the end of Long Island (they also work as a wedding venue, The Old Field Vineyards). I contacted Kyle early on to see if he was available to make the trip out for our wedding, which he thankfully was. I decided then to also hire his wife, Haley (Luma and Lavender) as my Day of Coordinator. This was probably my best decision of the wedding planning! Separate reviews available for her (5 star!), but if you hire one of them, you should definitely hire both! They are a dream team and work so hard to make everything perfect. I can also attest to the effort and work ethic they have in perfecting destination weddings. The lead up to the wedding was super easy. Kyle sent me his typical shot list and we discussed timelines and specifics for vision and images I wanted to make sure we got. He attended my rehearsal to scout the venue and plan for the next day. I was very stressed about the wedding day itself. The entire event was outside, ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. We had a tent but the focus of the venue was about the amazing vineyard landscape and waterfront property. Of course, heavy storms were forecasted for the entire day and night. As the day progressed, we got lucky with the weather. While it stayed grey and foggy with wind and drizzle kicking up from time to time, the heavy monsoons and lightning that were predicted never materialized. We were able to hold the entire event on the lawn and under the tent as planned. What came from it was some of the most dramatically dreamy photos I could have imagined. While we lost the view across the bay at the islands and Hamptons beyond, the swirling fog brought so much attention to us. Many of the portraits Kyle took were incredibly surreal and so beautiful. He wasn't even afraid to lay down flat in the wet grass to get the perfect angle! I still pinch myself every time I look at our photos! Everything turned out so beautiful. His ability to capture us, our love and emotion on that day, despite less than ideal conditions, is more than I can have imagined! My mentality about the photographs is they were the element that mattered most for our wedding. Years from now no one will remember the food, the DJ, or other details you spend so much time planning. But wedding photos are an heirloom that is passed through the generations, our grandkids will be able to look at these pictures someday and experience the same love and happiness that we do now. Kyle gave us something that we will always treasure, and our family will appreciate for generations to come! read more

Kyle, you are hands down the best person we hired and worked with during our entire wedding planning! Our journey started with our engagement photoshoot and even though we had to reschedule a couple times due to inclement snow and torrential downpour you didn't let that bother you. Even though we were bummed after travelling for hours, you took advantage of the time to have an impromptu photoshoot in the rain at no additional cost. You are extremely talented, professional and just down-to-earth cool. Not to mention your wife, Hailey, is the most hilarious person and you both have a great dynamic together. Thank you for capturing the most beautiful and timeless photos during our wedding. You were such an ease to work with and you knew exactly where to go, what to do and managed your time so effectively that we were early on schedule! In the end, you asked us if we wanted any last shots before the end of the night and Justin and I took this opportunity to have an impromptu dance in the alley outside. This was one of the most memorable and special moments for Justin and I to share and we can now reminisce on that for years to come. Not to mention Kyle delivered our photos in lightning fast time. We asked for a few highlight pics to thank our parents with, but he surprised us with ALL the photos within a week and a half of the wedding!! Thank you so much for everything, you are seriously the BEST of the best!!! read more

Choosing Luma Weddings was hands down the best thing we did for our wedding. Kyle is worth his weight in gold! In the day and age of countless apps and filters it's hard to find a photographer who is truly talented and professional. I can't tell you how many hours I spent sifting through different profiles and pictures trying to find someone who's work caught my eye, until I came across Kyle. His work is timeless and beautiful and you can tell that this is his passion. This guy really knows what he's doing with his 10+ years of experience. From our very first email until the last moments of our wedding he was nothing but kind and helpful. He answered every question every step of the way and was the calm in the chaos on the big day. Our pictures are absolutely STUNNING! He made it look like our wedding belongs in a magazine. His portrait work is amazing, but he was also able to capture the quiet little moments I may have otherwise forgotten about. It's true what they say, your wedding day goes by too fast! Because of Kyle we are able to relive the most special day of our lives! read more

We absolutely loved Luma Weddings Photography for our destination elopement and our engagement session. Kyle is a professional in his craft with a fun personality. He suggested bringing an extra bottle of champagne for a fun photo op, and the images with the frothing bottle of bubbles are some of our favorites. We looked at several preferred photographers for our venue, and Kyle's work stood out among them. Kyle has a unique way of really documenting emotions in a photo and his use of lighting is magical. My favorite part of our wedding day was walking down the aisle toward my fiancé, and Kyle caught all of my fiance's emotion on camera. The pictures are so intense, and I am so grateful that the groom's reaction wasn't missed just because the bride was walking down the aisle because I wanted the memory of his reaction in pictures. Kyle makes you feel at ease and comfortable in front of the camera. We are so happy that we chose Luma Weddings to document our blissful day! read more

Thank you so so much to Kyle at Luma Weddings for creating the most stunning wedding photos that perfectly captured our day. The mix of gorgeous portrait shots that family love and the natural, in the moment shots that are favourites of mine and Matthew's is ideal. We were bowled over with how quickly Kyle was there to help us at any given point to make the process as reassuring as possible. His use of online platforms to keep everything organised and easy to access is great, and of course his skill as a photographer is unquestionably professional. Kyle was one choice of 4 different photographers available to use as part of our elopement package at TreeHouse Point and his work was a cut above the rest, making it such an easy decision to use his services. He knows the venue inside out and makes it so easy to get the perfect shots. We knew we were in safe hands with his direction. Worth every penny. Thank you! read more

Kyle is so talented & professional! He was on time & he knew exactly what needed to be done without overwhelming you. His creativity & knowledge gave our vision life & we are so happy to have found him. Being on the east coast did not hinder his excellent communication & his detailed layouts for every step needed; because of this, it assured us that our day would be nothing less than perfect! His direction & knowledge let us trust his ideas & suggestions without feeling like we weren't ourselves. He was able to tell our story in a way we never thought possible & we are forever grateful that Kyle made us feel comfortable during the process! Our pictures came in soon after the wedding & were edited beautifully. Our pictures are like fairytale come true! Don't think about it too much, you won't be disappointed!! read more

Kyle and his wife Hailey from Luma Weddings are incredible! They answered every question we had (and there were a lot!), were always quick to respond and so professional. Our wedding was unique as it was east of the mountains in February. I'd always wanted a white wedding and I think I wished a bit too hard because it was dumping snow and the pass was closed on our wedding day. Kyle and Hailey still made it. They left extra early, had to wait in line when the pass closed, chain up and drive to us in snow. Throughout the process they kept in-contact with us so we would feel at-ease. They took really beautiful photos in snow, even though all of us - including Kyle - were freezing, and they absolutely captured the beauty of the day. We are so thankful we chose Luma! read more

I cannot say enough positive things about Luma Weddings. The photographer Kyle is amazing to work with for so many different reasons; his photos are absolutely stunning, he does a wonderful job of making you feel comfortable (for those people who are feeling like it might be awkward), he is quick to answer questions, he is knowledgeable and helpful when trying to create a day-of-timeline, and he was wonderful when working with my husband and I's large bridal party! His wife came along during our engagement sessions, and our wedding - she was so helpful when trying to keep things moving along to get group and family photos done. Lastly, I was so impressed with how quickly we got our photos (completely edited) back - under three weeks! read more

Luma Wedding caught my eyes with pictures after pictures of true smiles on brides & grooms faces. I have searched so many wedding photographers, and there're tons of options. Luma Wedding really burnt in my mind. Kyle is super funny, super nice, super organize, lightening speed email response, super professional, and etc. I can't be any happier with the experiences with Kyle on the day of my wedding and engagement pictures. I got to share my pictures a week after my wedding, while everyone still remembers.(Horray!!) All my family and friends are REALLY satisfied & excited with how the pictures turned out. I can't wait to have him capture many many more of our life moments! :D I highly recommend Kyle to you! read more

Choosing Kyle Goldie with Luma Weddings was an obvious decision. The beautiful pictures showcased on his website aren't just for show, he was able to capture our special day with the same level of professionalism and creativity. Kyle was extremely helpful throughout the planning process going so far as to recommend the timeline of events for our big day. Of course we took his professional opinion to heart and the end result was the most breathtaking pictures and a perfect recap of our magical day. I would highly recommend Luma Weddings to anyone whether it is for an upcoming wedding or a fun romantic photo-shoot. I will definitely use Kyle to capture life's most precious moments going forward. read more

Working with Kyle was the best decision we made in the whole planning process. He was not only incredibly knowledgeable, but super fun to work with. He made it all so easy and fun. More importantly he took the most amazing pictures! Getting our wedding photos back was so incredibly exciting. Kyle did a great job telling the story of our day as well as capturing the personalities of everyone in the photos. The photos are also beautiful! I feel like a lot of time more journalistic photos tend to not be flattering, not the case with these. These are photos I will treasure for the rest of my life! Hire Kyle now, you wont regret it! read more

We booked Luma Weddings over 2 years ago during our engagement. I found Kyle on Facebook on and he was quick to respond after I asked the Bride who took her photos. My husband and I knew right away that we wanted him to capture our day. We even looked at multiple different photographers just to make sure and still gravitated to Luma Weddings. We received our photos less then 3 weeks after our wedding and let me tell you, they are breathtaking. Kyle was so helpful, a great communicator and easy going! If we had another wedding, we'd book him again in a heart beat! read more

Kyle and Haley did a great job and were easy to work with (wedding AND engagement photos). They put us at ease and Kyle has great ideas for poses and creative opportunities. Solid guidance to help us look our best. He frames everything very well and has a keen eye in finding interesting backdrops. Captures moments in a dynamic way and makes personality come through, as you can see in examples of his work. Haley was a welcome addition, putting the bride at ease and ensuring she looks beautiful. Thankful to have them capture our wedding memories. read more
