Todd wedding

We hired Lottie with Dormant Gypsy for the photo booth at our wedding, and it was such a hit! Our guests had an absolute blast taking silly photos and creating fun memories. Lottie was professional and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the event. The booth was well-equipped with fun props, and the photos turned out great! It added an extra element of fun to our celebration, and I highly recommend Lottie if you’re looking for a memorable photo booth experience!

Understanding and flexible

We hired Lottie in 2019 well before our planned wedding date (3/28/2020). She was easy to speak with and valued our input while providing her recommendations for photography based on our budget. Unfortunately, Covid decided to change our plans and and Lottie was incredibly understanding when we had to reschedule, cancel, and reschedule our wedding date a total of 3 times. She worked with us and our ever changing plans and even provided us the opportunity to utilize a credit we had towards other photography opportunities. We are incredibly thankful for her understanding during a trying time for us and her business.

Absolutely fantastic!

I have worked with Lottie on several occasions. She did my engagement photos, wedding, my professional photos, and a few others. I’m in love with all of the work she has done! She’s very professional, and good at what she does. Every time, she quickly had the photos edited and back to me!
Recommend 100/10 ☺️

Death of my Twenties/Cheers to my Thirties Photoshoot

Lottie is an amazing and experienced photographer! She helped bring my vision to life for my “Death of my Twenties/Cheers to my Thirties” photoshoot. We planned this shoot a few months in advance and she was readily available to communicate with. She even went out to the site to scout it out and timed the lighting and sunset so that we knew when the best time of day would be. I would highly recommend Dormant Gypsy Photography to anyone for any of your photography needs. I am thrilled with all of the amazing photographs that I received! I will definitely be using Dormant Gypsy Photography again in the future!

She truly works for and with you and makes the whole experience very personally tailored. She’s happy to travel and is open to any and all creative ideas thrown her way.

Wonderful!

Lottie has been photographing my family's big milestones since our engagement photos (which came out crazy awesome, I've inclued some). It was hot and muggy in Florida the day of our wedding, and to make it harder for her, the venue was dark under all the foliage. She prevailed though. The pictures are beautiful! She mixed a lot of black and whites in (like I had asked), but also really brought out the beautiful colors in my flowers. She's thorough and thoughtful and she makes sure I love every picture. I'm so greatful that we have her to capture our most precious moments!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
