    Excellent experience! Highly recommended

    Lana has the perfect demeanor especially with children which was very important for our event. She was very flexible with our rather difficult at times 6 year old daughter lol. Lana’s assistant was so helpful and wonderful as well. We had a pleasant experience and we’re already loving our preview of pictures.

    Captured our special day beautifully!

    I was very happy with our photos from Lana Rowe. She was very professional and a pleasure to work with. She produced beautiful pictures of me and my husband and my sweet baby boy, and our families. Many pictures were taken outside our house- she has a great eye for backdrops to get that perfect picture!

    Nothing less than amazing

    Lana was such a pleasure to work with. She did mine and my husband’s engagement photos and they came out beautiful. I knew we chose the right photographer. The day of our wedding she was so professional and took into consideration of our must have photos because we weren’t sure of what the weather was going to do. Well we got all our must haves and so much more. Lana told me by the next day I would have some sneak peeks and boom there they were and oh my did she capture such incredible moments. It wasn’t even a week later and we had all our photos. There are so many photos to choose from one is better than the next. Creating our wedding album will definitely be challenging because they are all so beautiful. All our family and friends are blown away by Lana’s work. I can’t recommend Lana enough. She’s truly an amazing person.

    Professional, high-quality photos of our big day!

    Lana was a pleasure to work with in the months leading up to our wedding and we were confident in her ability to capture our ceremony and reception, and the beauty of our venue. She and Mike delivered with flying colors and the photos were wonderful and will help preserve our memories of this special day. Lana knew the venue inside and out, and it was very helpful to have someone who knew the logistics for the day and the best shots throughout the venue and could direct us accordingly. In hindsight, the one thing Lana could've done better (and it's very minor and I may be searching for a criticism) would've been stronger direction of the various shots. I would highly suggest Lana--particularly for anyone with a wedding or event at our venue. We are incredibly happy with our photos and we are certain that Lana's services were a worthwhile investment!

    Lana is beyond amazing. She dealt with the chaos of 9 bridesmaids getting ready in my hotel room like a pro and managed to keep me preoccupied when the groom's limo broke down so I wouldn't know what was going on. What I love most about Lana is her style of photography. Her "staged" photos look so natural and beautiful - listen to everything she tells you to do even if you feel awkward! The result is stunning. Her candid shots are effortless and artistic as well. Best of all, she uploaded a photo album on Facebook with 70+ photos the day after the wedding and I even received all of my photos a week later. You will not regret hiring Lana!

    We were so beyond impressed having Lana capture our special day! Throughout the planning process she made suggestions for the timeline that helped our day go smoothly and stress free! She help two camera shy people feel comfortable and confident when taking pictures, and she captured everything we wanted and more! Her turnaround time for the photos was amazing! She sent a sneak peak in the first 24 hours, and then it was so nice to receive the link to our online album within the first week while we were on our honeymoon! We have been receiving nothing but compliments from our family and friends when they see our photos, and that is all thanks to Lana! It rained for most of our wedding day, but we don’t think twice about it when we look at our photos because everything was captured so beautifully (including awesome umbrella photos)! We highly recommend her for her professionalism, efficiency, and fabulous eye for wedding photography!

    Lana Rowe Photography should be every bride first and last choice for a wedding photographer! She was absolutely amazing!
    From the very beginning she was great. So, knowledgeable personable & flexible with our wishes and demands.
    Lana made me feel beautiful on my wedding day!
    Lana was not only an amazing photographer but she was able to provide me with so much helpful information and suggestions for my wedding day. She had so many cute ideas that made my wedding even more special than I had planned, such as my engagement photo sign in book, a huge canvas photo ect. I could email her with any kind of question about the wedding and she guided me in the right direction.
    She made me and my husband feel so comfortable when we took our engagement photos and even on our wedding day. She was not afraid to let us know if something didn't look right in a photo. "Lean this way, look that way, your hand would look better this way." Little things that you wouldn't even realize. She made my husband and I look like super models!
    The Engagement photo shoot we did was gorgeous. 1 place, but it had so many cute and different backgrounds to play around with.
    On my wedding day, she was a super woman. I had so many demands of who I wanted pictures with, all my wedding tables, this family member, that family member, this dog, this room, this pose. 1400 later! She was able to capture more than I even asked for. She was quick and efficient. Having a huge family, I wanted so many pictures with many different people. Lana was able to capture it all. What should have been chaotic, she made everything run quick and painless!
    She was able to capture our entire wedding and we were able to enjoy every minute of it! We were able to eat and dance, we were not stuck away from the party taking pictures all night.
    Lana's work is amazing and I would highly suggest her to every bride out there!

    Choosing Lana as our photographer was one of the best decisions we've made.

    From our first meeting with Lana we knew she would be perfect for our wedding day. You can tell she is passionate about what she does and her photos speak for themselves.

    Our engagement session turned out amazing and we couldn't wait to see our wedding photos. Our sneak peek photos were beautiful and we weren't disappointed when we received the entire wedding day gallery.

    Lana and her team was a pleasure to work with. We appreciate her professionalism, patience and positive energy. She was definitely worth the investment and we highly recommend Lana Rowe Photography.

    Lana and her team were the glue that held my wedding day together. After meeting with Lana and viewing her website, her talent was obvious and it was clear she was the right choice. Right off the bat, we meet in the hotel room and Lana notes that the room is not the bridal suite and the hotel made a mistake (I had no idea it was the wrong room! Thank goodness Lana was there with her experience!). So they hustle with all of their equipment to the next room so that we can start on time. Like clockwork they started taking pictures of the rings and jewelry and running (literally) to the venue to get the flowers for us that were misdelivered. Somehow, amidst this chaos, our getting ready pictures are adorable! The pictures with my parents and bridesmaids are precious. Then we go to head across the parking lot to the venue, and there is a giant Indian wedding happening in the parking lot!! BAM, Lana knows a shortcut around back so we don’t get caught in the middle. At the venue, Lana efficiently guided us on how to pose and where to stand. She accommodated all of our photo requests while also giving us tons of cute photo ideas. I didn’t think it was possible that my husband and I could look so perfect in our photos. We are usually so awkward at taking pictures, but somehow Lana transformed us into the couple that looks like they belong on the cover of a bridal magazine! My veil even caught the breeze and they captured my veil flowing against and bright blue sky! Lana captured our love, our joy, and made us look our best without getting in the way of the wedding flow. I’ve seen weddings where the photographer interrupts the dance for a photo, but she never did anything to ruin the integrity of the wedding. We have more than a thousand photos, and there isn’t a single one I don’t like! Every time we look at these pictures we can’t help but smile! Thank you Lana and team for being more than we could have ever hoped for! <3

    We are so glad we had Lana photograph our wedding. Even before meeting her, I was impressed with her prompt responses and attention to detail. Her enthusiasm and talent for photography shone through. On the day of the wedding, she was prompt, organized, and ensured we stayed on schedule to get all the shots we were seeking. We received the gallery of photos within just two weeks of our wedding. We were so impressed with how quickly she finished them, and how well they came out. She truly captured the look we were seeking. She provided us with a variety of different poses and picked out locations with beautiful scenery. All of the photos came out so well that it will be very hard to narrow down which ones to put in our album! Thanks Lana for taking such wonderful photos that we will forever cherish.

    Lana and her team were amazing. They shot for over 12 hours and captured our day so beautifully. We had incredible images without feeling like they were intrusive and when we got to the reception they were real ninjas - we never saw them! The photos were outstanding.

    Lana was wonderful to work with. She understood us as a couple and knew exactly what type of feeling we were going for on our special day. She is a talented photographer and I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family. Thank so much I simply love all of my photos. You truly captured the essence of our wedding day.

    Lana is the best there is! She did an incredible job at our wedding. She captured every moment!! We have so many great pictures, I can decide which pictures to hang in my house. My cousin and various friends have also used her for their weddings and they loved her as well! Her work is the best!! Besides her talent, she is so nice to work with and is a true professional. She also just designed the most beautiful thank you card for us. You will not be sorry with Lana!

    Lana photographed our engagement session on 4/26. We were thrilled with the quality of the photos and ease of working with her! She chose Sweet Briar Nature Center in Smithtown, NY, for our session -- a location that perfectly matched our wedding reception venue: The Bates House in East Setauket (which she was also familiar with). Lana's studio showcased her beautiful photography, and we immediately knew we were in good hands. A few of my friends from grade school recently used Lana for their wedding photography and also had great outcomes. It was clear early on in the shoot that Lana was a true professional and knew what she was doing. Given the quality, I also thought the value was good, especially compared to the vast majority of high quality photographers in NYC. We received 129 proof images (selected from just shy of 400 photos) the day after our shoot - exceeding our expectations. From there, the finished photo files were transferred a few days later. We would recommend Lana to engaged couples on Long Island without reservation.

    Lana Rowe was an excellent photographer. She made sure to get my must have shots that day and was so open to everything. When I look at our wedding photos I feel like I am reliving our wedding. I would recommend her to everyone and would use her in the future!

    Lana was so much fun to work with. The planning process was a breeze and we LOVE our photos!!! Our wedding was the first day of spring, however it snowed about 6 inches!!! Lana helped us through the day and thanks to some fluffy white snow and Lana's talent, we have gorgeous photos from a day we will always remember :) Thanks so much!!

    Lana and her team were amazing on the day of my wedding. They were so kind and really help me calm down when my nerves were getting the best of me. I could not have asked for a better photographer. We got every picture that we wanted to get and I absolutely loved feeling like a movie star at my own photo shoot.

    If you are looking for someone with great personality and who cares about your day like you do, you have to choose Lana and her team. I know we will be going back here for all our pictures in the future.

    Words can't even express how happy my husband and I are with the work Lana did. She captured every detail at our wedding and the pictures are phenomenal. She takes pride in what she does and it shows through her work. From the first time we met with her we knew she would be the perfect match for us and we were right.

    We had such an amazing experience using Lana Rowe Photography! She was so flexible working with our schedule since my fiancé lives out of state. Our engagement photos turned out absolutely wonderful and we love them all! Lana has such a wonderful eye to capture both classic and candid pictures that all look and feel so natural. We can't wait until she photographs us again on our wedding with her wonderful and cheerful attitude and work ethic!

    Lana was an absolutely excellent photographer! I'm so glad we chose her for our wedding. She knows how to get those special shots without making them cheesy like so many wedding photographers do. She was very professional throughout the whole process. She was also great with directing us all day - so many vendors ask the bride questions and there's so much going on in your head, you look at them like a deer in headlights. So it's nice to have someone who just tells you what to do and where to go! The price was also very reasonable for what we got. We're absolutely thrilled with how our pictures came out - we love every single one!

    Lana and her team of assistants were wonderful to work with. They seem to have somehow managed to capture every smile, giggle and kiss on our wedding day, without ever feeling overbearing. We have such beautiful pictures that show every emotion we felt that day. Our entire family will be forever grateful for our spectacular photos.

    Thank you so much for your kind word. I am so lucky to have been a part of your weddings. It was so beautiful. Your family is lovely. I hope you and Josh share many years of joy!

    Lana and her assistant Stacy were awesome! They provided us with posed pictures and captured us in our true element to give us a nice blend of different pictures. They were easy to work with and took our suggestions and feedback into consideration while photographing us. I am very satisfied with how my wedding pictures came out and when I look at them, I can relive our special day.

    Lana Rowe Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much- Happy Holidays to the new Mr. and Mrs!
