Incredibly Talented Photographer!!

Lawrence and his team are an absolute joy to work with. They have an innate calmness that radiates through everyone around them, helping us keep calm along with them. Lawrence is flexible when things change, like family requesting last second photos, and open to feedback. He makes an immense effort to build a personal relationship to understand your vision. His familiarity with the venue was a huge benefit as he knew the perfect locations as the natural light shifted throughout the day. We had a 3-day wedding and Lawrence was happy to be present for the whole weekend, ensuring he captured all of our special moments.

Lawrence’s robust portfolio gave us full confidence that he would capture our wedding in an elegant manner that would last forever. Lawrence also has an incredible turnaround on building the photo suite; only a month after our wedding, we have already received our full slate of photos, allowing us to relive those moments as we deal with post-wedding blues. He is an artistic storyteller and his work certainly reflects that. Know that you will work with a talented, kind, and trustworthy team if you opt for Meadowlark Stills.

Great experience

The photos say it all. Lawrence was our wedding photographer at two venues. He took film and digital photos that captured formal and informal, individual and group moments in both color and black and white. He was easy to work with, a good communicator, and an excellent photographer. His conduct was very professional. Lawrence is affable as a person and low-key in his presence at the event. We are lucky to have had him photograph our wedding and would highly recommend him.

Amazed with the experience and the results!

Our experience with Meadowlark Stills started with a very thorough kickoff meeting, where their team asked thoughtful questions to get at the heart of what we were hoping to accomplish. The attention to detail they seemed to be paying from the start made us confident we were in capable hands.

On the day of the wedding they were very accommodating, meeting us at a separate location early in the morning to shoot pre-wedding activities. They were consummate professionals, handling nonstop requests from bossy family members very gracefully. Their team knew when to interject with direction and when to hang back, allowing us to enjoy intimate moments without feeling like we were constantly on camera.

Throughout the day they shot on both film and digital, and in the final edits managed to capture an energy and authenticity that completely shattered our expectations. We couldn't be happier with our photos!

Photographer That Genuinely Tells Your Story

Lawrence Braun captivated us from our welcome call more than a year ahead of our big day. It was immediately clear that his highest priority was to help us tell our story. As we looked through the final wedding gallery, it was clear that he valued all of our community’s nuances and quirks. Now we have photographic treasures for the rest of our lives.

During our engagement photoshoot, he helped us drop into the moment by using such kind and poetic language to narrate our experience. He brought this same energy to every interaction we had and to our big day. He made us cry, laugh, and be in awe at our wedding. Lawrence also brought much needed levity to the day. Weddings are intense and can be overwhelming at times. He was always calm and had a great sense of how we were feeling in a variety of different moments. Your wedding photographer is someone you are going to be spend a lot of time with on your wedding day. And we are very grateful Lawrence was there with us. We recommend him fully and with confidence!

Incredible Experience!!

Choosing Meadowlark Stills to shoot our wedding was a great decision! From our initial phone call on I felt incredibly comfortable with Lawrence, his patience and genuine nature was very apparent from the beginning. He took the time to get to know us and shared about himself to ensure we were a great match! Chatting with him ultimately brought more excitement to us for planning our wedding. We decided to go with the second shooter option and we are so happy that we did. Lawrence and Kelly were absolutely phenomenal, and I don’t say that lightly. They showed up in every moment with their best, bringing laughter and character, and their presence was truly so comfortable. Several of our guests asked us if they were friends of ours and I felt that says a lot. When work and passion blend it becomes lighter, easeful, and fun, that was truly reflected on our experience with Meadowlark. Also, our photos are so beautiful I cherish them dearly! I am so grateful to have had such skillful photographers shooting our day! I highly recommend hiring them for any occasion, especially a wedding! Thanks again!!

Choose Lawrence for the Best Photographs

I first met Lawrence when he was recommended to me by the folks at the DeBruce. I was setting up a surprise engagement shoot and Lawrence brought the magic and expertise that raised the experience to another level entirely. He took the time to scout locations with me and added invaluable info about timing and sunshine. The photos came out so good that we subsequently hired Lawrence to shoot our wedding in NYC. The photos from that night are unbelievably good. They are classy, moody, romantic, fun, and above all captured the experience entirely. In fact, the Polo Bar now uses some of the photos on their social channels. I wholeheartedly recommend Lawrence and Meadowlark Stills for any of your photo needs! He is punctual, professional, and flexible....but above all he's an extremely talented photographer and artist...and now a friend.

Amazing eye for capturing all the moments you want to remember

Lawrence captured our day exactly how we had envisioned. From the beauty and stillness of the venue grounds to the dancing and excitement of the reception, we get to revisit and treasure our day thanks to his hard work. We could not be happier and have nothing but praise for his incredible talent. A delight to talk to and work with, amazingly down to earth and truly a pleasure.

Best Decision

I found Lawrence on Instagram and immediately fell in love with his style. I was thrilled when he agreed to capture our wedding. We met with Lawrence for an engagement/get to know you shoot which was the best decision. It was so good to meet him before the wedding, and for my husband to feel comfortable having his picture taken. Then on the wedding day it was just like having another friend with us as we felt so comfortable with him. Lawrence captured the most special moments and fit in so well with the whole group everyone was sad when he left. Receiving the finished photos felt like reliving the best day all over again. I have tried hard to decide which is my favorite and I just can't, there are too many favorites. I would choose Lawrence again in a heart beat. Thank you Lawrence!

Amazing photos! Highly Recommend!

My husband and I got married in July this year after having to postpone our wedding twice due to Coronavirus. Lawrence was so helpful in working with us each time we had to reschedule. Not only is he very personable but his work is amazing too. We were blown away by our wedding photos and so happy he and Moriah were there to help capture our special day! We highly recommend Lawrence and his team as photographers for your big day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
