About

Hello!

I'm Lacy Patton (formerly Matusek,) a wedding and portrait photographer based out of Raleigh, North Carolina (but I will never say no to a road trip!) I grew up in Georgia and moved to Boone, North Carolina to spend 4 years in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains while getting my Commercial Photography Degree. I love to photograph weddings as well as family sessions, senior portraits, boudoir, or any other special moments you'd like to capture!

I have never met a dog that I didn't love, but I'm pretty sure my black lab rescue pup, Sadie, is the cutest one I've ever met. There is nothing better than cuddling up with a dog and a blanket to binge-watch some Netflix while editing photos (Grey's Anatomy is my current favorite.)

I'm pretty sure that I have cried at every single wedding I've ever been to and I am so thankful that I get to be part of so many special days. I love weddings for many reasons, but my favorite part is the raw emotion. I love to capture the love and excitement between the bride and groom right after the ceremony when all of the stress has melted away and they get to relax and enjoy each other as newlyweds.

The best part of my job is truly connecting with each and every bride and groom to make sure their day is as stress-free as possible. I aspire to be more than just a vendor on your big day, and the best feeling is making lasting relationships from every wedding.

"We will be eternally grateful we chose you to be such a special part of our wedding day. You felt like more of a friend than a photographer to me that day and I will never forget that. You are so talented and we were so lucky to have you!"- Valerie

I would love to learn more about you. Let's grab a coffee and chat!

Amazing photographer!

Lacy was the photographer for my wedding, and she is absolutely incredible! She was well organized, which made taking all the pictures on the wedding day run smoothly and stress free. Her suggestions on order of photos during the day gave us time to have a few moments to ourselves before the reception, and even allowed us to join in on some of cocktail hour! Lacy was able to capture the most beautiful photos, while also capturing our silly moments of us enjoying the evening. We appreciated how kind and calm she was the entire evening, even when dealing with a very long veil! We also wanted a lot of pictures of the room before people entered, as we were not going to be able to see it before guests arrived, and she took so many detailed shots that were perfect for us to look back on. Lacy was also incredible with photographing the little kids for all the family photos. We cannot recommend Lacy enough for engagement and wedding photos, and will absolutely book with her again for any photography we do in the future!

Amazing experience!

Lacy and Cody were an absolute joy to work with! She had our photos back within a week of our wedding!! Not only were our photos amazing, but they made it so easy and natural on our wedding day. My husband and I had never done professional photos together before and we were both worried that we were going to look too posed, but with Lacy and Cody we were laughing naturally the whole time and felt so at ease! They even jumped in to make sure our guests weren’t taking too many phone pictures of us. Lacy was also so easy to work with throughout the planning process and offered advice on planning things outside of photography. Our photos are incredible and I still can’t stop looking at them!

Stunning photos 5 days after our wedding!

Lacy is an amazing photographer! She is kind, patient, and detail oriented. It was so great to get to know her and Cody. She photographed our engagement session and our wedding day and all the photos turned out amazing. Our wedding photos were ready 5 days after our ceremony! Amazing turn around time, especially during the busiest wedding month, and even more amazing photos. Could not recommend her highly enough!

Stil in awe!

Seriously, just do yourself a favor and book Lacy and Cody. When I tell you they were the absolute BEST from engagement to wedding I am NOT kidding. They went so above and beyond from start to finish. I mean....they climbed a freaking mountain at sunset to capture the most stunning engagement shots for us and then at the wedding.....you guys. We got back the most BREATH TAKING photos EDITED in six days.....yes SIX DAYS. My husband and I were in awe. They know how to make you feel comfortable when you are SO new to picture taking and capture the most stunning moments. I'm going to have such a hard time not framing every.single.picture. Truly a dream team. THANK YOU!!!!

Amazing Wedding Photographer

Lacy and her husband Cody were great photographers to work with on our wedding day. They were available to talk via phone or email ahead of time to answer any questions and plan a timeline. On the day of the wedding, they were professional and organized. They helped to ease our nerves and have a fun photography session to capture all of our friends and family on our big day. The turnaround time to receiving our photos was super quick, and we are super excited at how great the photos turned out. They did an amazing job, and we cannot recommend Lacy enough!

So Beautiful!

We cannot recommend Lacy enough!
I had no clue what I was looking for when I started looking for a photographer, but I knew I really liked Lacy's photos. From the first time we talked on the phone through the wedding day and getting us our pictures, she was absolutely amazing!

The wedding day is stressful enough- she took care of the photography and more! She gave us such good direction and instruction and was fun to work with. She took pictures we never even thought about taking! We got sneak peaks so quickly after the wedding and we got our photos back quickly and they are so beautiful! I am obsessed with them!

Exceptional!

Lacy captured the photos of our wedding day and was EXCEPTIONAL! From beginning to end, Lacy was responsive, professional, and helpful. Her kindness and positivity was a plus... she was a reassuring force on the day of our wedding! We were thrilled with her work and enjoy looking back on the moments that she captured. Above all, we were beyond impressed with her turn around time. She had our photos back to us just a week or two after the wedding, which is unheard of! 10/10 would recommend Lacy to capture your wedding day (or any special occasion). We are so thankful to have crossed paths with her :)

Lacy was so great to work with! She was always happy to work around my crazy schedule, and every time we met she was punctual and completely professional. Probably the most important thing is that her photos are stunning!

Lacy is an extremely professional photographer. At no point did anyone feel uneasy or overly staged. I have been to multiple events where she’s shot and all of the pictures come out natural and gorgeous.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
