Flawless!!

Kim and her team shot our wedding at Saltwater Farm in Friday Harbor this September and we couldn't be happier with our choice to hire them. Kim is absolutely AMAZING -- her energy is warm and she helped us feel so natural in front of the camera. We just received our sneak peek and WOW. Her (+ her team's) photos and editing truly capture the vibrancy of our entire wedding day. All of our guests were raving at how wonderful our photography team was and asking, "where did you find these amazing humans?!?" One of our biggest requests was that we wanted to feel PRESENT during our wedding day and not feel tied down by photos (even though we wanted all the photos) -- Kim and her team perfectly allowed us to do just that. We did ~2.5 hours of coordinated photos prior to the ceremony and got basically all our photos done during that time. And then during the party, we were AT the party. We felt like the entire team so beautifully captured the day while also giving us the space to be present and enjoy every moment. Looking through the photos, Kim and her team so elegantly captured the feelings, the hugs, the smiles, and the laughter. On top of that, they took gorgeous photos of all our details, food, cocktails, rings, and signage. Not one things missed. Kim, your expertise and heart shows in everything you do -- we are so grateful. If you are in the market for a wedding photography team, truly look no further than La Vie!! They are 10/10, incredible!!

Beautiful photos that will last a lifetime

Kim of La Vie Photography was amazing. From start to finish, she made our engagement session and wedding photos a breeze. She was always very positive and upbeat, never rushing us or losing her temper. We had a number of delicate family dynamics to navigate and she did so with so much grace and flexibility while taking our photos. She arrived on time and captured so many beautiful moments. Kim's services were worth every cent.

Simply incredible!!!

Kim of LaVie Photography is a wonderful person and professional! She photographed both our engagement and our wedding. We loved her energy so much during our engagement shoot, we knew we had to have her at our wedding. We could tell through working with her that she genuinely loves what she does. Her photography is incredible and while we are still waiting on our wedding photos (our wedding was less than a month ago) we had so a overwhelmingly positive response to our engagement pictures from our family, friends and on social media. If you’ve been professionally photographed before, you know it can take a lot out of you, especially on your wedding day (but don’t skip out on it, because you’ll regret not having those pictures later!) However, Kim did a great job of getting through all the shots we wanted in a timely and organized manner. We truly felt like she added so much value to our special day. We can’t wait to see our wedding photos, as we know they’ll be just as amazing as our engagement pictures. We will cherish them forever.

Great to work with!

Kim and Adam were great! They were both so excited it was so nice to have them be at our wedding. The photos are great, and the website gallery for our wedding was excellent, it was so much fun to go through the photos and see everything we missed.

Our favorite wedding vendor!

Kim and Adam are simply the best! They were a hit at our wedding, our family loved them because they are so loving and friendly themselves. I enjoy their true to color style, especially in a time when rustic and washed out photos are the trend. We hired them as part of our two day Indian/Jewish ceremony. They captured the multiple cultural elements and colors with such beauty. They also were open to doing creative shots we really wanted to capture, something we discussed in our pre-meeting. I also appreciated their ability to navigate various family situations. I have no doubt our photos will age well and are so lucky to have found them. Please consider La Vie as you think about your big day, you won’t regret it.

Kim and Adam are AWESOME!! Two of the nicest people we have ever met!! Their passion for photography is evident in their every action! Prior to the wedding I was confident they had a good understanding of our dream photos and they were constantly coming up with creative and unique ideas for the wedding.

Kim's ability to pick out the little details that make up a wedding is astonishing. Kim and Adam both really capture the emotion and personality in every photo. They have the unique ability to capture photos discreetly but also be right in the action and feel like life long friends while doing it!!!

I would absolutely recommend La Vie Photography for any type of photography!

Thank you both for being such an important key to our big day! You are both rock stars, especially Kim!

I can not stress enough how amazing Kim and Adam were. The showed up earlier than I had hoped for and caught every detail of the day, from little moments with our friends and family to beautiful shots of the wedding itself. It was fantastic to have two people since it allowed Kim to be with the bridesmaids and I when we were getting ready and Adam could be with the groom and his groomsmen while they were getting ready!

When my wife and I were planning our wedding we had a variety of local choices in Southern California and Orange County to chose from and spent an enormous amount of time interviewing a variety of photography companies. When we approached LaVie on line to discuss using their services they encouraged us to get together to talk further...sure enough 1 week later they made a personal visit from Seattle to Orange County CA to sit down with us and discuss our plans. After 2.5 hours of going through talking, going through some amazing ideas and reviewing past work of theirs we felt like we found two new friends who happened to be photographers. This is RARE in business...especially in the business of weddings...to feel a connection that you know can only translate in a positive way to the pictures they are going to take on your most important day. We were beyond happy with our decision!!!! Everything we expected from them they delivered on...beyond professional...warm, friendly, talented and real human beings who actual made us feel like we were their only client. If there is a reason to utilize LaVie it is because of the amazing human beings behind the camera...and the amazing photos that were created from their cameras. Couldn't recommend them more highly!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
