Lance is such a great guy!

My husband and me literally got left at the church before the reception started. He gave us a ride there because we needed one. He also helped with the schedule and make everything smooth. The engagement pictures turned out amazing. He was patient with my special needs daughter during the photoshoot of the wedding. He was patient while I tried to calm her down. I'm incredibly awkward when it comes to getting my photo taken and he made it a lot less awkward. He even made the speech less awkward by giving me tips on how it looks better if we both stand up. He did amazing!

Lance photographed our wedding on October 14th, 2017 at the Hotel Pattee in Perry, Iowa. He did a fantastic job - right on time, professional set up, super accommodating to special last-minute requests and the photographs are simply beautiful. Lance's pictures have this wonderfully sincere quality to them - a beautifully shot honesty that is hard to define but easy to see in his photographs. We would hire Lance again in a heartbeat (and plan to!) and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great photographer - thanks Lance :)

Lance perfectly captured our wedding and I'm so very glad I went with him! We were planning our wedding from the other end of the state, as well as moving and starting new jobs at the same time so we hired him off his portfolio alone. Lance was flexible with our schedules and was an absolute pleasure to work with. He's personable and friendly and helped us feel at ease even though neither my husband or I like being the center of attention. He's a jewel for rural Iowa, I recommend him 100%!

Lance was great - he did both our engagement and our wedding photos. He's been a pleasure to work with and the pictures turned out great! He has been the photographer for a couple of friends' weddings as well and they recommended him to us.

I would recommend Lance to anyone needing a photographer. :-)

Absolutely exceeded standards as a photographer with a personality to match. We live in Colorado and sought out Lance for our wedding in Iowa based on his portfolio alone - our perceptions exceeded our expectations. He charges much less for much more and even stayed late to make sure every important moment was captured. Hire this guy!

Lance is a fantastic photographer. He worked with my husband and I for both our engagement pictures and our wedding photos. Aside from being very personable and great to work with, Lance is creative, unobtrusive, and very adaptable. We were thrilled with the shots that he took, and he didn't charge us exorbitant rates. We would definitely recommend Lance to anyone.

Lance is an amazing photographer with a lot of fantastic and invaluable ideas. Although our "traditional" photo were very, very well done, where Lance shines is capturing the wedding's life - we really feel that Lance has a talent rarely seen that allows him to find what's important and put it in a photo. His photos we will cherish for years and years to come.

Lance did an excellent job at our wedding. We couldn't be happier with the quality of his work and were especially happy with the candid moments he captured of us and our guests. We have already recommended him to friends and family and will continue to - he is incredibly easy to work with and does excellent work!

Lance was awesome to work with! You spend a lot of time with your wedding photographer and Lance was so easy to be around. He was flexible and open to ideas and got just the shots we were looking for! We looked at a lot of photographers and many were much more expensive and didn't delivery the great quality that Lance did, we were incredibly pleased with the price of his service.

Lance provided us with beautiful photos for our wedding. I love his photojournalistic style and his fun personality. His rates are reasonable which made things easier on our wedding budget. I know he takes great pride in his craft and I have recommended him to friends. I look forward to working with him again at our friends' wedding!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
