Marilyn Shamblin is a very professional and talented photographer. She took our photos as the event was occurring and was almost unnoticeable, so the finished products were natural, for the most part un-posed, and very beautiful. Her use of light was spectacular, and mixed in several black and white pictures as well as color for varying effects. She genuinely appears to enjoy her craft, and she was especially talented in catching the fleeting emotions on people's faces without them knowing it. We would recommend her photography for any event, and we will enjoy her photographs for the rest of our lives. Thank you, Rising Lotus Photography!

Marilyn did a phenominal job photographing me and my husband for my maternity session, and our sweet new baby girl! She is patient and makes sure she photographs us in all the ways we wanted! She is full of joy and truly enjoys what she does! It was such a pleasure being able to have Marilyn and Rising Lotus Photography photograph us!!!

If there is one piece of advice I would give a fellow bride, it's LOVE LOVE LOVE your photographer. And man, oh man. Marilyn is the BEST. Seriously. I would have been a hot mess if it hadn't been for her cool and calm head, and gorgeous photos. She's also so sweet, and willing to help out when necessary (like when you have a surprise wedding, and need to send out postcards next day to tell the world). I interviewed many photographers, and I knew from our first call that she was the right person for us - and I was right. THANK YOU MARILYN!!
14 Endorsements
These days every cell phone comes equipped with a better camera than most people owned 10 years ago. So when hiring a wedding photographer, the gear is of less than expected significance. The goal is to find a seasoned professional with a well practiced routine, the ability to communicate well with their clients, and an eye for beautiful images. Rising Lotus provides these and more in spades. You can trust that the experience before, during and after your wedding will be pleasant, and that your photos will be images you can share proudly for generations to come!
Marilyn was a pleasure to work with and has a wonderful eye. I highly recommend her for all of your photography needs.
