    So Grateful!!!

    I had to cancel my March 2020 wedding with 5 days notice (thanks COVID) and have rescheduled multiple times. Marilyn has been the absolute best to work with through the changes!!! She responds quickly, is thoughtful and kind, and has gone above and beyond to work with us! I don’t have photos to rave about yet as the wedding is now March 2022, but I have no doubt they’re going to be fantastic! Highly recommend Rising Lotus Photography!

    Amazing wedding photos

    My husband and I used Rising Lotus Photography for our wedding not the Starship Yacht out of Tampa. They took sooooo many beautiful pictures of our day and I could not ask for a better team! Not only did our photos turn out AMAZING, Marilyn was so easy to work with and made us both comfortable through the entire process. She was so understanding of changes, questions I had, meeting with me, etc. Planning a wedding during a pandemic was not easy but Marilyn made this piece of our day as seamless as possible. We just ordered some prints from our collection to hang around the house and even the quality of those is top notch!!! She was so interested in our story and the love we shared and I would recommend her to anyone getting married in the Bay Area, especially on a Starship Yacht!

    The most perfect Day

    After looking at so many photographers, I thankfully found RLP, and I’m so happy I did. Marilyn (the owner of RLP) is such a beautiful person inside and out. I could go on and on about how wonderful she is. Once you talk with her on the phone you will know. Her work is so creative and beyond beautiful. We are so in love with our engagement session and the few pictures from our wedding (haven’t received them all just yet) She was so wonderful to work with on our wedding day. She was calm and patient when we had a stressful situation. Her work belongs in magazines!! Trust me. Book her!

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!
