Wedding Photography in Gainesville

Awesome pictures.

I've waited so long to write this review because I wanted to make sure I adequately conveyed how much of a pleasure it was to work with Raven for our wedding. As a couple, we had different styles (one more traditional and comfortable/eager to be photographed, one less traditional and very camera-shy). We are deeply silly people, who wanted our wedding to be both solemn and fun. We thought it would be hard to find a photographer who could cover all those bases while generating artwork that would hang in our home forever. That's a tall order! But then we found Raven. Her portfolio quickly caught our eyes because of the mix of fun/fantastical and deeply emotional work. When we spoke to her she was the height of professionalism, while remaining warm and coaxing us into being open about what we wanted. Our engagement session (included in the package we opted for) was - shockingly - FUN and got us comfortable with her, rather than a contrived pain in the neck. At the wedding, she and her fabulous second (Gabbie Burseth, another gem) again helped us feel at ease, capturing meaningful moments beautifully and organically. She was always looking out for us to make sure we were having fun and taking the time that we needed to enjoy the day. When the photos arrived (on time and conveniently) we couldn't wait to share them with our family and friends. I wouldn't have thought someone could capture so much of the magic and the feel of that day, but they managed it. I have and would continue to recommend her to anyone. She is professional, talented, fun, and (perhaps most importantly) kind. Do yourself a favor and talk to Raven.

Maggie is absolutely amazing! She is so nice and easy to work with. Very flexible and did a great job on the photos. She was almost always easy to get in touch with and definitely knew what she was doing. The value of the pricing cannot be beat! She is overall to best photographer I have ever worked with or heard of. I will absolutely be using her again for any photography needs I have. LOVED working with her!

You will NEVER find a better photographer to work with. Julie and David made both engagement shots and wedding photos so fun and easy. David put my nerdy husband at ease and worked with him in the boys while Julie was there with me and the girls. She was totally my advocate for making sure I got what I wanted, and I trusted her implicitly. I chose them originally because of the beautiful sky and sunset photos, and I got mine. It was a windy day, cloudy, and she still managed to catch the light in that exact right moment and get some of the most beautiful photos I've ever seen. You will NOT regret going with these guys. It's worth every penny (and far less than some others I've seen around who are not nearly the quality).

Kaylan is the BEST!!! She took our engagement and wedding pictures, and she is AMAZING! We absolutely love all of our pictures!! She keeps you calm, comfortable and smiling the entire time. We got our pictures back while we were still on our honeymoon. Super professional, responsive and a lot of fun to have around on your big day! We will definitely use her again for family pictures in the future! BOOK HAPPY EVERYTHING CO NOW!!

BethAnn was wonderful! We had our photographer cancel 30 days before he wedding and we were so lucky she had a cancellation as well and was able to do our wedding. She understands not everyone can afford most photographer pricing and does what she does because she loves it. She did a great job organizing photos and got great candid shots too. Would highly recommend her!!

Christa was fun, energized, and easy to work with. She made taking the pictures super fun! She had our engagement pictures back within a week! She has a very artistic eye for what will be a beautiful picture. We would definitely recommend her!

From the moment we met Laura, it felt like we new her for years. That first time sitting with the she makes sure she understands your love story and who you are as a couple. Throughout the entire process it felt like she just became part of our gang and happened to be our photographer!! She captures moments of your day you dont even realize are precious until reflecting on her photos. We will forever be grateful that we chose Laura Hamon Photography for our big day.

Rebekah was so great to work with! She's so nice and easy going and it great at giving direction, though she likes to get a candids (and is great at it, which I love!). She did our engagement and wedding photos and I could not be happier. I will definitely use Rebekah for future family photos!

Erica was by far the easiest choice in choosing our wedding vendors! First off, her work is stunning- still obsessing over our photos captured on 35mm film! She captured our engagement pictures and then wedding day so beautifully. She is also a joy to work with- so sweet and kind. Would book her again and again- cannot recommend her enough!
