I was searching for a photographer in the Boston area to capture the moment I propose to my girlfriend when we visited Boston. I was referred to Lorna's website and I was very impressed with her portfolio/website. I reached out and received a quick response! We set up a zoom call to get to know each other. Lorna was very nice and professional. She offered great advice and really wants to get to know you and your partner. I was very impressed with Lorna overall and 10/10 would recommend.

Picking a photographer is very difficult. I was looking for someone that could handle our venue (a public park in Boston) and direct sunlight hitting us during our wedding ceremony and photos. Lorna did all of this and took amazing photos that we will cherish forever.

Lorna photographed our wedding in the Boston Public Garden. She requested we schedule a short facetime before our wedding day, which was probably the best thing we could have done. It gave her the opportunity to get to know us and what we were looking for, as well as keep our minds at ease that we made a good choice for a photographer :) During our first look and ceremony, she kept us very relaxed and produced amazing photos that we'll cherish forever! She gave us enough direction where we got amazing shots without feeling awkward or staged. The emotions of our wedding day really showed in the pictures, and we were so lucky to have her there! Definitely recommend!

Lorna did a spectacular job photographing our engagement photos and wedding in early November 2018. We were so happy to choose her for our big day. Her communication was excellent and kept us as ease during the planning process even when we asked many questions :). When time came for our big wedding day, there were no doubts she would capture the wedding, us, and our guests having fun. We are truly thankful for Lorna as well as the second photographer Kayla for making our day very special. We highly recommend Lorna Stell Photo for anyone else's wedding!

To me, comfort is key. I typically don't like getting my picture taken because I am very body conscious and have a negative attitude towards my appearance. When it came to my wedding, I knew that photography was essential so it was important that I felt comfortable around my photographer. I wanted to feel at ease so I could enjoy my day to the fullest and Lorna made that incredibly easy!
I would say that out of the entire wedding planning process, Lorna was the best decision I made. She is incredibly talented and from day one, I knew that I could put my trust in her. She finds a way to capture who you are as a person or as a couple in her photos and the love you share for one another. She has an excellent way of putting you at ease and making you feel comfortable, which is critical for those of us who don't typically stand in front of a camera! Overall her work speaks for itself! Her talent, experience, and calming personality make her an easy choice for anyone needing photography services.

I've attached some of my favorite images from our special day to show how talented Lorna is!

Lorna is a professional who will help you feel natural in front of the camera while taking outstanding photos of you. She is wonderful at capturing beautiful moments while setting up a perfect background. The photoshoot will be fun and comfortable!

We loved how Lorna made the indoor photoshoot work. Lorna had great suggestions on where we should stand and would move around for different angles to shoot us from. We had a lot of fun exploring different parts of the building and when we saw how the pictures turned out, we were amazed at how beautiful the shots were.

Our biggest concern before our session was that having photos taken would feel unnatural. We had a very small wedding where it would have been impossible for a photographer to blend into the guests and so we were worried that it would be awkward. Our fear did not come true and in fact, we felt amazingly comfortable during the shoot. Lorna reached out to us beforehand so that we got to know each other, which helped a lot. On the day of, she was very supportive and encouraging. She let us be ourselves and we actually often forgot we were having photos taken. Instead of being awkward, it actually made it so that we enjoyed our wedding even more!

My now husband and I really appreciate lifestyle photography, so when we booked Lorna we were excited to have someone we felt matched that style. But leading up to the wedding, I suddenly got nervous - what if the wedding doesn't translate well on camera? What if all the candid shots are awkward? What if we look horrible because we didn't know a picture was being taken? Everyone else does more traditional photo shoots, shouldn't we?? Thankfully none of these fears came true; Lorna did an amazing job of capturing us and our guests at our finest. Everyone raved about how beautiful the photos were, and we felt like the emotion and joy of the day was perfectly captured.

We loved how Lorna just fit right in with the crowd. It was great to see her flitting about and making sure everything was captured on camera! She was also very hands off and let us go around and do what we needed to do on our own timing. But she also was sure to seize amazing opportunities. For example, at one point during the reception we were saying hello to guests, and Lorna came up to us and said she needed us to come with her NOW. We didn't ask questions, and when Lorna led us outside it was to see the most amazing sunset ever. Thanks to her awareness and diligence, we were able to capture a truly beautiful moment we might have otherwise missed.

We would have no problem recommending Lorna to even our closest friends! Lorna did a great job from the very beginning. From her flexibility with pricing to accommodating our budget, her willingness to travel, and all around excellent execution, it was a pleasure working with her!
