    Simply amazing!

    We had the most amazing experience with Lavinia + Louise. Britney and her husband, Jarrad, did photo and video for our scaled back Covid-style outdoor family-only ceremony. In a time where life was incredibly stressful and we were making decisions about our big day down to the final minute, Britney was there every step of the way. She spent hours on the phone with me discussing options, and they even were flexible enough to change the original date we booked them for because our ceremony venue changed with Covid.

    Not only did they make my husband and I feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera (something we were nervous about), but they made it SO FUN! We loved every second with them and truly believe they played a large part in making it the best day ever. And now we have amazing photos and a stellar video to share with all our guests that couldn't be there. Book them!!!

    Amazing Experience!

    A photo shoot with Lavinia + Louise is an experience you can’t find anywhere else. I had a fun photo shoot with my boyfriend! Britney makes you feel so comfortable during the shoot. She gets very creative and lets you try out different poses. She is so dedicated to getting that perfect shot, she will quite literally climb a tree. And let me tell you, the end result is amazing. The photos are such great quality and there are so many to pick from. They have the perfect mix of posed and candid shots. If you’re looking for photos to capture that special moment and raw emotion, then Britney and Lydia are your people! Thank you for the BEAUTIFUL photos. Highly recommend these 2 lovely ladies!!

    Lavinia and Louise Co. create an easy going and fun environment where taking photos felt natural!

    I had the opportunity to have a portrait session done with Britney last winter. Not only were the photos amazing and filled with gorgeous snow, but the session was a lot of fun! I have never been the person to stand and smile in front of the camera, but Britney created an easy-going environment that made me comfortable. I loved the fun tricks she taught me to help make my poses natural and cute. Would definitely recommend Lavinia and Louise Co. for any photography needs you may have!

    Great experience

    My fiance and I weren't planning on doing engagement photos, so we had no idea what we were doing. Brittany was wonderful. She walked us through everything and the pictures turned out FANTASTIC.

    Engagement & Wedding Photos/Video

    Lavinia + Louise did an AMAZING job with our engagement photos. Not only did the pictures turn out great, but Britney was super easy to work with, the session was relaxed, she listened to our input but also had ideas of her own, and we got our pictures back pretty quickly. I’m looking forward to having Lavinia + Louise as my wedding photographer as well!


    ***UPDATE***
    Britney had taken our engagement photos, so we already felt comfortable around her and trusted her abilities to capture precious moments. We hadn't met Lydia prior to the wedding but she helped photograph/video. As expected, she was also very easy to work with, and she and Britney made a great team. Britney helped a lot with the planning and timeline of our big day which I REALLY appreciated. Without her help I wouldn't have been as prepared and organized as I was. She was also there throughout the wedding day to remind me of the time and what was next on the agenda - but not in a way that I felt pressured or rushed through the moment. The best way I can describe working with them is "easy", which is something you'll really appreciate on your wedding day. When we got the pictures back I couldn't stop looking at them! They turned out better than we could have imagined. Seriously. We've gotten so many compliments on our pictures, and not just how pretty everyone looked, but the picture quality and how great they turned out. We are waiting for our one year anniversary to watch our video, but I know it will be great. We asked if they could do a more home-video feel, and they were more than happy to switch things up and cater to our needs. They asked guests (who we pre-approved) questions, recorded all the toasts and I'm sure a lot of other timeless moments that we were too busy to notice. I can't say enough great things about Lavinia + Louise Co.. We loved working with them and they did a BEAUTIFUL job. We highly recommend!

    Amazing ladies to work with, highly recommend!

    Amazing people, amazing work! They were so easy and fun to work with. We had a big surprise planned for our guests and we talked to them about it beforehand and they were able to capture all the best moments. Our wedding day was so smooth and these ladies definitely played a part in that. We would definitely recommend to others looking for a laidback, professional, and friendly photographer and videographer.

    So easy-going and fun! I felt like a kid again.

    Britney makes the photoshoot experience a blast for everyone involved. There isn’t a single uncomfortable moment, and she’s careful to make sure no one feels awkward at any points. Her prompts are super fun and interactive, so she always is able to capture REAL joyful, goofy moments. Nothing about my photos felt posed or uncomfortable. Britney treats all of her clients like friends she’s known forever, which makes the experience so much more enjoyable! I left my session feeling fantastic, and honestly the photoshoot itself was such a fun experience/day out!

    11/10 would recommend!

    Although it was a gloomy and rainy day, we had an amazing time with Britney! Not only did she make it easy to be "photogenic", but made our shoot extremely fun and enjoyable. Our pictures were very high quality and we love how they turned out!

    Silver Lining

    We were expecting a beautiful fall engagement photo shoot, but the weather didn’t cooperate. Britney made the most of a dreary day. Her creativity and quick thinking gave us some of the loveliest photos. I can’t wait until they shoot our wedding!

    Fantastic Photos

    We had a great time with our spring couples shoot. Britney made both of us feel very comfortable and brought out our genuine emotions. This made for photos we loved and will cherish for years to come. She did a great job of making us laugh, keeping us serious, and ensuring the entire photo shoot was a fun memory instead of a dreaded chore. We would absolutely recommend them for engagements, weddings, and really any photography needs you may have.
