My husband and I used Lucas for our wedding in Manchester, VT, and he was a dream to work with! We planned our wedding in only 3 months, and Lucas was incredibly responsive and understanding of our short time frame. He was open to our requests, but he was also very directive when it came to our family photos (which we all appreciated!). He also walked us around the entire property with so many different locations planned for our shots, making it so hard to choose which backdrops to order. He also encouraged us to get a few really unique shots (climbing on top of a boulder, pulling us outside during dinner to catch the moody dusk lighting), and those turned out to be some of our favorites. We couldn't be happier with the shots!

Give Lucas a call and then read his reviews online. After a few minutes on the phone with him and a quite look at how happy he has made everyone, you will know Lucas is the best wedding photographer around. You will not be disappointed!

Lucas was absolutely wonderful! He was very easy to communicate with prior to the wedding, even driving over an hour to meet us at our rehearsal dinner so we could have some face time prior to our big day. On the day of the wedding he and his assistant went above and beyond. They arrived early and stayed late, and were a constant but non-intrusive presence documenting our best and most cherished moments. He was extremely prompt in preparing our wedding photos--we had access to our wedding photo album a very short time after our wedding. The pictures were incredible! Everyone who has seen our photos thus far has commented on how beautiful and perfect they are.

We cannot recommend Lucas and his assistant enough! They were absolutely perfect!

Lucas and his staff were great! He was very relaxed and easy to work with. He made everyone feel comfortable, gave good direction and was open to other ideas/suggestions. His package included engagement photos, rehearsal dinner and lots of coverage for the wedding day and he blended into the crowd getting lots of great shots. After the wedding was over, Lucas kept us updated on his progress and estimated timeline, and was very quick to get the photos/images back to us (only waited 4 weeks!). We were very happy with our decision and would highly recommend Lucas to any future bride & groom!

Working with Lucas was an absolute pleasure.

We were coordinating our wedding from the West Coast, which had its obvious difficulties, but Lucas was incredibly responsive and helpful with planning and logistics. We met several times via Skype to discuss our vision for how to shoot the day, and he was able to offer several very helpful options that really relaxed our decision making process.

Any on top of that, his pictures are incredible. The color, tone, and style were exactly what we were hoping for and truly speak to his artistic eye. His relaxed style made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera which is something we were a little intimidated by.

The entire experience was a pleasure from start to finish, and now we have hundreds of wonderful photos (including a bunch of fun ones from his photobooth) to relive our wedding. We can't recommend him enough.

My wife and I worked with Lucas for both our engagement photo session and our wedding. Right from our initial phone conversation, Lucas was extremely professional and a pleasure to work with. We had an amazing engagement photo session at Shelburne Farms, in Shelburne, Vermont. Lucas spent almost two hours with us and really took the time to get a variety of shots that we were very pleased with. It was really nice getting to know him not only at the engagement photo session but in our many phone conversations as we prepared for our wedding. He was extremely attentive to detail and made sure that everything ran extremely smoothly. He managed to not be overly intrusive while at the same time capturing many great moments throughout the entire evening. The quality of Lucas' photos which one can see on his website speaks for itself. We could not be happier with the number of wonderful photos we have from our wedding, and we have received so many positive remarks on our wedding photos. We would highly recommend using Lucas for any of your photography needs!

Living in Atlanta, my now husband and I had only spoken with Lucas via skype before our wedding. Even from speaking with Lucas remotely, he was extremely invested, thoughtful, and worked very hard to accommodate us.

On our wedding day, Lucas was very professional and clearly was invested in giving us the best possible product over the course of the day.

Now after receiving the pictures, I can honestly say that these are the best wedding pictures I have ever seen, and many of my friends and family said the exact same thing. I could not be more thrilled!

Lucas is very talented, very hard-working, and he is a really great guy to work with. I give Lucas my highest possible recommendation.

We have not seen the results of Lucas's photography but very much liked the shots he took and his personality. Lucas was easy to work with and seemed very creative in his choice of settings.

Lucas was fantastic! His personable demeanor during our engagement session immediately put us at ease. From the get go, he was easy to communicate with and took the time to get to know us as a couple. His commitment to making our wedding day a true reflection of us came through in his work. It has been a joy to see all the photos as he carefully captured the details and intricacies of our special day. From candid photos of family and friends to easily forgotten table numbers and cake, we have been able to re-live the event through his incredible documentation of everything. We are so grateful to have had such a talented professional with us on our wedding day! Thank you, Lucas!

I can't say enough good things about Lucas!! To start, he is VERY nice and so was his assistant. We are terrible at pictures and he made us feel comfortable and have a good time. Our guests loved the photobooth! He is fast with the formal pictures (which is what we wanted). We opted for an extra hour at the wedding rather than engagement photos. I loved that he was there for more of the dancing portion. One of my best friends asked him to be their wedding photographer before she even saw the photos because of his personality! Another great thing, he has a computer with photos before the wedding is even over! Loved him - HIGHLY recommend!!
