They are beautiful and completely captured the memories and the essence of our special day. They met with us a couple of times before the wedding, including coming to our home, to make sure they understood what we wanted for our memories and so they could get a feeling for the 'lay of the land'. They are thoughtful and bring a soulfulness to their work, which made it very special for us. You aren't going to find that with many photographers. We had an outside ceremony under a shelter during the worst rainstorm last October and most photographers and videographers would have said, No Way! Giovanni agreed to do the videography less than a week before the ceremony when the videographer we originally hired backed out because he didn't want to film in the rain. Lenka and Giovanni were there with their expertise throughout the entire evening. The pictures and video are beautiful!!!! You can't even tell it was raining. They spent hours taking the rain spots out of the pictures. We can't recommend them highly enough. You won't be disappointed in either the pictures or the experience of working with them. They are FABULOUS!!! If we could give them 10 stars we would!!! Penney & Yvonne Foley-Trumbo.

From the first time we met Chris out at Taber Ranch, we wanted him to be our wedding photographer…read more We didn't even really interview any other options since his pricing and service were so appealing. He doesn't really do weddings without an engagement session and we took him on an adventure in Tahoe looking for snow to backdrop our photos. Due to the mild winter we had this year, we trekked quite a bit, but he was a great sport through it all. Thanks to Chris and the team at Taber, our wedding day went off without a hitch. He was very mindful of timing and keeping to a schedule so that he could make sure he got photos of all the events during the day that we wanted. We did have to tell him that we wanted to enjoy the food we paid for (I don't like to rush through good food) and we also wanted to be present at our reception for our guests as much as possible. We did not do first look photos, so his time after the wedding was rather limited to get pictures done, but what he did end up with turned out great. The only reason that Chris is not getting 5 stars in this review is due to some followup after some issues he had with his website. He was able to get things back up and running, but it wasn't until 2 weeks before the wedding that we were hammering out a schedule that would fit him around the party and catering. This was because neither of us had realized we hadn't heard from each other in a few months. Good follow-up was something I definitely learned is necessary in planning a wedding, and I would say no matter who your photographer is or any vendor for that matter - maintain good and consistent communication. If you haven't heard from someone in a while, there might be a reason. Overall, very satisfied with the service provided by Chris. He is a fantastic artist and really tries to put his subject(s) in the best light possible. I couldn't be happier with the end result.

Besides the fact that she takes beautiful photos, she is also a pleasure to work with and certainly knows what she's doing! She gave us everything we wanted, plus more! I knew I loved her photography, work style and professionalism after our engagement photos, but she really went above and beyond at the wedding. When some things didn't go quite as planned at the wedding (unrelated to photography), she was a soothing presence and kept me calm. She is a calm, gentle and peaceful presence, while also efficiently directing shoots, keeping on schedule and getting all of the pictures that we requested - plus some really great extra ones that we hadn't even thought of. I couldn't even figure out how she got some of the pictures because it almost seemed like she had to be in two places at once to get them - she must have been running all over the place! Of all of our vendors, she was our absolute favorite and even our guests had wonderful things to say about her. We got our pictures back quickly and were thrilled with them. Not only did she get every photo requested, but she really captured the feeling we wanted with our photos. I would give her so many more stars if I could. If you need a wedding photographer, I HIGHLY recommend Eye of Laksmi Photography.

We got married last Friday and my guest could not stop talking about the music. They met with us numerous times before the event. They are perfectionists. They listened to every detail!! The music was perfect and the lights blew me away. We had a dry wedding and the dance floor was packed. My guests loved the music. We had mics for the ceremony and everyone said they loved that they could actually hear what we were saying. They brought a team and there was some areas of service lacking from the venue and Shawnie stepped in and filled in from calming me down at times to serving cake. They are the definition of professionalism. Thank you for making our wedding truly amazing from beginning to end.

I don't know if I'm even eloquent enough to accurately convey the incredible pictures Larry Scott…read morehas taken for us. We hired Larry as our wedding photographer for our wedding weekend at Betz Ranch in Grass Valley. From the moment we met him, I already knew I would pick him because he was so warm, and friendly. It felt like I was hiring a family members to take our photos at our wedding which is exactly what we wanted. We were impressed with Larry's portfolio because his photography is so natural and not forced, cliche, or cheesy. It was very important to us to have wedding photos that were "us" an not looking like we were posing for an advertisement. With Larry Scott, that is exactly what we got! We decided not to do an engagement shoot, but to have Larry photograph out pre-wedding barbeque (our wedding was a 5 day event). He amazingly captured everyone who was there in such perfect ways that it felt like he really knew our guests. He literally blended right in and somehow knew how to capture every perfect moment as it happened naturally. Amazing. We had a pretty large venue and Larry did an excellent job providing a variety of shots from indoor, to action shots in the pool, to kayaking and paddle boarding on the lake. Larry captured things that I didn't even know had happened until like look at the photots (like my mother in law playing a yard game with my nephew- too cute!) When it came time for the wedding, I didn't want any "getting ready" shots and Larry just went with the flow! He literally blended right in. Most of the time I didn't even notice he was there, which is how I truly wanted it. He brought his second shooter, Adrian (I think- sorry) and the two of them were like stealthy camera ninjas! I truly don't know how he knows just the right moment to take a shot, but the pictures speak for themselves! Even with our non-traditional, silly, hula hoop, dogs, kids, beer theme wedding, Larry just warmed right up and when it came time for him to go, I really wished I would've asked him to stay and join in the festivities! He truly felt like a loving uncle who just happened to have superfluous artistic abilities! My favorite part was when I was dancing with my friends and made eye contact with Larry and he busted a little boogie move! Such a fun guy! I wish I could hire Larry to photograph my life. I was literally sad when he left that he wasn't part of my family. He put up with out weirdness, silliness, and embraced the uniqueness of our relationship and of our family. I would not hesitate to hire Larry Scott again in the future - or even invite him out to lunch! Great guy, breath taking photos, genuine experience. 5 stars all day, every day!!!!
