    We highly recommend Sonja and Lightbound Photography

    Sonja and her team fully embraced our personalities, and they captured our engagement and wedding in a very personal and professional manner. Sonja was extremely helpful throughout the planning process, and our photos are amazing!

    Hire Sonja

    Sonja R. is an amazing photographer, person, and artist. She had shot two of my friend's weddings that I was in, and I knew when it came to our wedding that we just had to hire her. She is so professional, responsive, flexible (we had to reschedule our wedding to to covid), and FUN to work with. She has that calm demeanor that makes you feel at ease no matter what is happening. She is organized and will make sure you get all the photos you want. Her style is natural and beautiful and she will capture you looking great even if you get nervous for photos like I do. She also gives you a digital copy of all the photos which is wonderful. You will NOT regret working with Sonja or her wonderful assistants. Worth every dollar and then some.

    Wedding and Engagement photos turned out great!

    Sonja shot our engagement and wedding photos and we couldn't be happier! She did a fantastic job getting all of the shots we asked for in our wedding and also capturing all of the fun candid moments during the event. We strongly recommend her!

    What are you waiting for? Book her!

    We can’t say enough good things about Sonja. She’s one of those beautiful souls who makes photography fun, and her passion and talent shine through in the prints. It seems like everyone has a photographer horror story, but we can confidently say Sonja will never appear in one. Starting with the engagement shoot, we knew we had made a great choice: she’s got plenty of experience to suggest fun shots that work, and the flexibility and creativity to go with the moment when things come up. She really did her homework beforehand and had a bunch of ideas for locations, timing, and angles. It felt so good to be in the hands of a professional - she worked out a super reasonable photography schedule with us well in advance (do a first look if you can! It worked out so well for us!!), kindly but firmly rounded up family members, coordinated really well with her second shooter, and adapted on the fly to keep us on that schedule! It was a miracle. We got so many compliments on our engagement photos, and we absolutely love our wedding photos. She captured beautiful staged pictures and cute spontaneous moments. What are you waiting for? Book her!

    We had a great time with Sonja (despite freezing temperatures) taking our engagement photos. My fiance and I are both not very keen on the idea of having our photos taken, and went into engagement photos thinking they'd be practice before the wedding, but they were actually really easy! Sonja made everything feel natural and we got a lot of great photos. She's also great with animals, and we had our dog join us for a few of the pictures. Can't wait for her to take photos at our wedding!

    My fiancé and I love working with Sonja! The process has been smooth and simple. Our engagement pictures are beautiful. My fiancé and I wanted our eight month old puppy and most of our photos. I know puppies can be difficult to photograph but Sonja made it look easy. Every photo we got back was stunning. Thank you Sonja!

    Sonja has been wonderful. We booked with her after a nightmare first photographer choice. She has been very professional and knowledgeable. In our initial meet and greet with her she drew up a timeline for our big day based on what I told her my general thoughts were. She has great suggestions and our engagement shoot turned out great! We will cherish the pictures forever. We cannot wait to see what she captures from our wedding day!

    Great value for very natural looking engagement photos that we’ve gotten TONS of compliments on!

    Post wedding update: We just got our wedding photos back from Sonja and are absolutely thrilled with the way she captured our day. She was there from the getting ready photos through our reception and did not miss a moment. She captured our love and personalities perfectly. Plus, she got so many great candids of our guests that we would have missed otherwise in the blur of the day. She did a great job location scouting and had so many ideas for shots that we would not have considered on our own. We were very impressed with her professionalism are beyond pleased with her beautiful work!! Thank you, Sonja!!

    It was so great to work with her! We hit it off as soon as I met her. I met other photographers but their character was not always pleasant. I never felt like I am just a job or just a number on her clients' list. We got an abundance of unique and wonderful pictures from our engagement and wedding. She even threw in a few shots of our animals and stayed a tad longer to get the perfect sun setting images. She was so easy going, always friendly; responded to us promptly, and gave us edited pictures very fast. She shared many ideas with us and allowed our input from clothing choices, placement, and to poses. She can work with any style: traditional, candit, and/or fashion. My favorite photographs are those of friends and family. They capture people having a great time and tell the story of our special day. I would love to work with her again. Maybe baby pictures when our family expands?!
    Love,
    The LeClair's

    Sonia from Lightbound Photography was fabulous! She was professional and creative. We got everything and more from our wedding photos. It was 93 degrees that day and you couldn't tell from the pictures. She really captured the emotions and besr parts of our day.

    I'm so glad we chose Sonja to take our engagement and wedding photos! She was very professional and really took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for in our wedding photos. She was thoughtful and thorough about planning for our day, so were were able to relax! We love all of our photos, from the creative shots, to the traditional poses and candid photos of family and friends.

    We were so lucky to have Sonja as our photographer at our wedding! We spoke a few times about shots that I really wanted on the day of and I shared my pinterest board with her, and she did all the magic:) She visited the site before the wedding, and found all the cool places for pictures that I didn't even know that they existed! She made us feel so relaxed and told us exactly how to pose for each picture, so even my husband who doesn't really like his pictures taken felt comfortable. She is so sweet, easy to work with, and very accommodating. We are 120% satisfied and happy with the pictures that came out and our venue even used our picture for their brochure:) And she even traveled out to California for our wedding! Thank you!!!

    Sonja made us feel so comfortable. She was knowledgeable, fun, and definitely her photography lives up to its name... the lighting in our wedding photos was STUNNING. Highly recommend making the investment in her quality services.
