My husband and I do not take many pictures, but both Andy and Michele made the day so easy and comfortable.

From the very beginning, Colin went above and beyond in every possible way. He wasn't just our photographer--he became a trusted partner throughout the wedding planning process. He took the time to truly get to know us as a couple, starting with our engagement photoshoot a year before the wedding. He learned our personalities, our style, and the overall vibe we wanted for our wedding weekend. Leading up to the big day, he was incredibly responsive, helping us think through everything from rain plans to photo locations and even giving us guidance on poses that would make us look our best. His preparation and attention to detail made us feel completely confident that we were in great hands. Colin also attended our venue walkthrough and was actively involved in planning during the week of the wedding. It was clear that he had done his homework and genuinely cared about making our day special. His creative eye is second to none, and he constantly found unique opportunities for beautiful and memorable photos throughout the day. One of the biggest surprises was the incredible photo booth he generously provided. It was a huge hit with our guests! The setup was professional, the photos were high quality, the backdrop was beautiful, and his team member made the entire experience seamless and fun for everyone. On the wedding day, Colin brought the perfect energy. He was funny, laid-back, and easygoing, which helped reduce so much stress and allowed us to actually relax and have fun. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and captured natural moments that never felt forced or overly posed. We also included our dog, Bagel, in our wedding photos, and Colin was amazing with him. He knew exactly how to engage him, keep his attention, and capture some of our favorite photos from the entire day. What truly sets Colin apart is how much he cares. Even after a full day of shooting, he stayed extra hours into the evening to capture additional creative photos and candid guest moments. One of our favorite examples of his dedication was when he tracked down pickleball paddles and balls so we could do a themed photoshoot with our pickleball-inspired seating chart and signage. The photos turned out absolutely adorable and became some of the most unique and memorable images from the entire wedding. It was such a thoughtful touch that perfectly reflected us as a couple. The photos themselves are stunning, but what we appreciate most is the experience Colin and his team created. They brought professionalism, creativity, enthusiasm, and genuine care to every interaction. We felt like they were just as invested in making our wedding day incredible as we were. We truly cannot say enough good things about Colin and the entire Love & Lyons Photography team. If you're looking for a photographer who is talented, creative, responsive, fun, and willing to go above and beyond in every way, stop searching and book Colin immediately. He is simply the best.

Hiring Colin to shoot our wedding was one of the best decisions we've ever made! From our first…read moreconversation with him, we knew he was the right person for us. Hilarious, down-to-earth, professional while still being incredibly personable - what more could you want? We were instantly comfortable and couldn't wait to work with him. Leading up to our wedding, we had multiple conversations to review the shot list, photo locations, and what was most important to us in terms of photography. Colin listened, provided so many helpful ideas and created the perfect schedule for us. Day-of, Colin and Jim were simply the best. They make everyone feel comfortable and at ease, like we're all just hanging out together at the best party ever. They kept the wedding party on schedule, chatted it up with everyone, and caught every single important moment while somehow blending in to the background. Knowing they were there took away all my anxiety about getting the photos I wanted, and Colin served as a much-needed source of comfort and comic relief throughout the day. Finally, receiving our pictures was one of the best parts of the post-wedding months. The photos are STUNNING - exactly what we wanted to make the memories last forever. Every time I scroll through them, I can't help but grin from ear to ear. Thank you Colin, for preserving our wedding in the best way possible!

We hired Jeremy in Chicago, and he is absolutely the best event photographer in Chicago. He is…read moreprofessional, flexible, and beyond talented. His style is very particular, which I see as a good thing-- your photos will look like art, not just like anyone else's photos. Moreover, his prices are completely in line with those of other photogs in Chicago-- even less than several we interviewed! Back in September 2013, we needed our engagement photos quickly to produce save-the-dates and Jeremy delivered. We loved every shot he gave us and are constantly finding ways to use the pictures in new ways. Too, too many of the shots from our August 31 wedding are breathtaking. Jeremy gave me one photo before he left, taken just with his iPhone, and even that shot is spectacular. Plus all the guests at the wedding commented on how clearly capable Jeremy was-- getting right in the middle of the dancing, and being super efficient with all posed shots he took. Jeremy is a legitimate inspiration to both my fiance and me, who have both worked as event photographers ourselves. THANK YOU FOR COMING TO CALIFORNIA JEREMY!!
