About

I don’t just take photos. I turn moments into memories.

And it all starts by making you feel comfortable in front of the camera because that’s where your magic happens. That’s where your story as a couple unfolds as you join together on this journey we call life. My goal is to capture these raw, heartfelt moments — from adoring looks to shared laughter — in the most authentic, natural way possible amid the true-to-life, vibrant colors of a place that invigorates your love. Think classic, not corny. Timeless but on trend. Sweet, not cheesy. In me, you’ll find a seasoned photographer expertly skilled in providing the perfect blend of guidance and observation as we create the heirlooms of the day you said yes or I do.

Before the First Shutter Click

First things first: After you reach out, we’ll connect via email, text, Zoom, in person, or via any mode of communication that works best for you. You’ll share with me the vibe you want to create at your wedding and what’s most important to you. Are getting-ready shots a must? Or would you rather focus more on that magical sparkler exit as you step into your new lives together? These are the kinds of questions that will help me sketch out a timeline for your big day and what package makes the most sense for you. Once you book, I’m yours. We’ll plan your engagement session and start setting the tone for your wedding. I’ll check in regularly (no, not in a mother-in-law kind of way) to make sure you’re comfortable with the decisions we’ve made. Think of me as your wedding wizard who’s ready and willing to share everything from vendor referrals to planning tips and tricks along the way.

All In

Being a bad-ass wedding photographer means wearing many hats and playing multiple roles, and I’m here to support you at every twist and turn as your day unfolds. Sometimes that means stepping in to remove a stain, telling a bad dad joke to break the ice, or giving a pep talk to a flower girl whose shoes are giving her blisters. I’m here to capture the beautiful moments of your day, yes, but know that no matter the obstacle, I’m also your hype girl, your biggest cheerleader, and your go-to stress-reliever who’ll fluff your train or straighten your tie with as much care as I capture the next moment you’ll always remember.

Expert Guidance

I’m a visual storyteller to my core. I’ve traveled the world for national travel and wedding magazines and photographed everything from the well-worn faces of Buddhist monks to overwater bungalows in Tahiti, which just so happen to make the perfect honeymoon destination. I’ve channeled my passion for capturing moments into a wedding and engagement photography business that allows me to combine my love of people, their love of each other, and my penchant for human interaction.

Patient and Fun to work with

Lori Did a great job trying to keep us on schedule. We hit a snag early on in the morning that lead to us running behind schedule. But she made sure to get all our important shots.

There really should be a 6 out of 5 option for vendors like Lori. She was the second vendor we booked, only the venue came first. Why? Because in every picture I've seen of hers, the bride looks beautiful. There were other photographers who were artsier, or edgier, but Lori's photography really captures the emotion and beauty of the wedding day.

She customized our package to our liking, and was completely flexible with what we wanted. She listened to our suggestions, and tweaked them to make them work. She's a consummate professional. Oh... and did I mention our pictures are GORGEOUS? First the engagement pictures: The people who have seen them have said they're some of the most artistic and stunning engagement pics they've ever seen. We shot at three different locations, and she captured the mood and tone perfectly at each site.

And then... the wedding. Lori and her second shooter, Jeremy, captured the most beautiful images of our wedding. I literally got teary-eyed when I saw some of them on her blog. One of my friends saw them and said "Those pictures look like they're straight out of a bridal magazine." She's right. Lori's got a great eye, and knows how to frame a shot. And guess what? I, the bride, look beautiful in every picture she has up there. It's a true testament to her artistry.

So, if you want artistic (but not bizarre and weird) wedding pictures, and want to work with one of the sweetest human beings I've ever had the privilege of meeting, check Lori out.

Love Love Love Lori! She had one of my most favorite weddings to-date published in the knot.com and it was beautiful! So fun, and easy to work with... My clients had their photos back in a flash and were over the moon pleased. Lori even sent me a mini coffee table album to showcase in my office. GREAT Professionalism....Fabulous Vendor to work with :) Best, Sonya Keller {Owner - Event Planner} www.busybridedesign.com
