    Highly recommend

    Shannon and David are absolutely fantastic at what they do! They made my husband and I feel so relaxed and comfortable on our wedding day. The pictures turned out amazing, and we couldn't be happier with having them as our wedding photographers. Shannon takes the traditional straight on photos, and David captures the adorable candid photos.

    Their package comes with an engagement photo shoot, which allowed us to become familiar with their work. The photos turned out spectacular! Shannon and David allowed us to change into multiple different outfits and change locations 2 or 3 times throughout our engagement photo session. We had such a wonderful time!

    On our wedding day, Shannon captured the "getting ready" moments with the girls, and David captured the boys getting dressed. It ended up raining on our wedding day, but they were able to adapt to the venue and capture the most beautiful photos.

    I highly recommend choosing David and Shannon as your wedding photographers! They are currently creating our wedding album, and we are beyond excited to see it!

    Amazing High Quality Photographer

    When planning our wedding a photographer was the most important detail to us. (Obviously outside our love for each other and the real reason for the day.) We wanted someone that would capture our day and the love that we had for each other, as well as our family and friends. Locke Innovations exceeded all of our expectations and then some. Not only were Shannon and David both professional and top notch quality, they both went above and beyond to assist with the day and to make sure everything went smoothly. Our pictures all turned out amazing and really captured what we were hoping to be able to cherish over the years. They were also fun to work with and made us feel at ease as sometimes intimate pictures could be awkward. We never felt uncomfortable with Shannon and David. We would definitely hire them again for any photography needs that we may have.

    LOVED Locke Innovations!!!

    We're super glad we chose Locke Innovations as our wedding photographers. Shannon really helped us think through the timeline of our wedding day and accommodated the different shots we wanted to include. They really considered our style by using our engagement photo shoot as a way to help us determine our style preferences and shots we wanted. When it came to the wedding, we had no doubt they were going to get the pictures we wanted.

    I recently had Locke for my wedding in Sept 2011. We had a very small wedding and Shannon was great. She spent a lot of time with us getting to know exactly what we were looking for and wanted. She went above and beyond what we expected from her. She was flexible, easy to work with and patient. The pictures we got back are wonderful. They look fantastic and she was even able to hide things in the background that were not as appealing. I would absolutely recommend Locke for anyone who wants speculator, interesting pictures.

    When we were planning our wedding, we wanted to make sure we focused a lot on the photos; it is the one thing that will document your celebration, love, etc for the rest of your life. We couldn't have made a better decision than to have Locke Innovations as our photographer. From day one, Shannon and David were extremely professional and easy to connect with, which is extremely important...because this is the one vendor you will spend the most time with on your wedding day and in the planning process. They helped us feel relaxed, not rushed, at ease and we had a lot of fun taking our pictures. Shannon is always very professional and very organized during the planning process and it carries on through all day during your wedding. One thing that was huge for us was that our families wanted to have photos of all of our extended families and I have a huge extended family, in which we typically can't get people organized and quiet to take a photo, but Shannon and David did it and fast (which is amazing!)! Also, if you have children in your wedding, they are fantastic with photographing young children, we are so grateful that we will have a lot of wedding party photos with our niece in them and smiling! Shannon was amazing and got her to look at the camera and smile. And finally, the photos are wonderful, creative and truly represent how happy and wonderful you feel the day of your wedding in a classic and stunning way. Overall, they are wonderful photographers and you will be so glad you decided to have them as your photographers! We most definitely are!

    David and Shannon are amazing! They put in so much time and effort to give us awesome engagement and wedding photos! They spent over an hour explaining everything to us at our first consultation, and they spent extra time with us at our engagement session! Their attention to detail is incredible, and their photo-editing is awesome!!!

    My husband and I had the privilege of working the Shannon & Dave for our wedding and we could not be more grateful, pleased and impressed with their overall professionalism, calm demeanor, one of kind ideas and pure magic they created with their stunning photography. On the day of the wedding, they were wonderful (guiding us, providing helpful hints) in order to capture truly breath-taking and some of the most romantic photography I have seen. Their creativity and vision was clear when we opened our wedding album (which was delivered with a box of Godiva chocolates which they were thoughtful enough to be arranged...could they be anymore romantic). Our album is our treasure, every person I have shown it to is literally blown away by how BEAUTIFUL the pictures, coloring, poses, candidness, creativity, etc. Everyone wants to know, "who did your photography". Choose Locke Innovations for your wedding, you only get to do this day once, so choose right the first time! Thank you Shannon & Dave, beautiful work!

    If you want to see how good they are, just check out their photos! I got a ton of compliments on mine. Shannon and David also came down to Cincinnati from Dayton for the rehearsal just to make sure they had a plan for the ceremony, and they were very thorough about making sure that we got all the family shots. Definitely take them up on their offer to get extended family shots -- it's rare that so many family members get together for one great photo.

    The easiest part of planning my wedding was deciding on my photographers. I knew from the beginning that I wanted Locke Innovations to capture all the special moments of my big day. Not only are they amazing artists, but they are wonderful people. I am so thankful that I had such talented people available to take such stunning photographs and help me remember all the moments (big and small, posed and candid) of my amazing wedding day!

    Shannon and David were the CALMEST and most reassuring people present on my wedding day! Not only did they do an amazing job on our photos, but they helped manage the flow of the day! We got our pictures back within a month and even got to see a sneak peak while on our honeymoon! They are very punctual and responded to phone calls/emails right away. They are very experienced and handed out great ideas for our ceremony and reception. I would recommend them in a heart beat! We are so thankful :)

    We could not be happier with our pictures from our engagement shoot and from our wedding. Our pictures are amazing. Locke Innovations has an outstanding ability to capture the beautiful candid moments from an event. They were able to capture the precious moments of a quick meaningful smile or hug. The moments that you feel like you will just have to remember in your heart because there is no way someone could have captured it on film... the moment was just to quick. Well, Locke Innovations captured those fleeting moments for us as well as the beautifully posed ones. We are so happy that we worked with them.

    To anyone looking for a photographer for thier wedding, I would HIGHLY recommend Locke Innovations. I can't say enough about how great it was to have Shannon and David photograph our wedding. They are truly a superior photography team and we are sooooo happy with the results.

    Shannon set up some cool photos and all the while as she was setting up the bride, groom and others in the wedding party, David was snapping candids. Some of my favorite shots are the candids that David snapped when we didn't even know it. And the ones Shannon took are amazing too. What I loved about her photos is that although most of them are posed shots, they don't look posed. She set up some unique shots that captured the personality of me and my husband. David and Shannon are both very gifted at what they do and very professional in the way they run their business.

    They are so easy to work with, very flexible, personable and went out of their way to not just capture the event, but to make our photos unique to my husband and I. They helped us stay relaxed and not just give "fake smiles".

    I do have to admit that the price of wedding photograophy was shockingly expensive to me. However, I discovered that to get quality wedding photos, you're going to have to pay a high price anyway. Why not invest your precious hard earned money in a gifted couple who photograph as a team and deliver an amazing product! You won't regret your decision!

    We will treasure our photos from Locke Innovations forever! Everytime we show our beautiful, unique album, people comment on how amazing the photos and the album look. They say they wish they had something like this to remember their special day.

    I couldn't have asked for a better photographer. All of my emails were answered very quickly and they even offered helpful tips on the day of the rehearsal/wedding that made both days go smoother. They were one of the best things at my wedding and were very encouraging/kind throughout the entire day. The pictures turned out fantastic and the nerdy ones that we requested were awesome.

    I couldn't possibly be happier with my wedding pics. We were on a tight budget and Locke Innovation's prices were great :) and you really get alot for the money. And if I do say so myself... our wedding pics are better than any others I've seen by places that cost three times as much!

    If you want to feel like every penny you spent on your wedding photography was worth it, you should choose locke-innovations photography. Our wedding was 7 months ago, and people are still commenting on our beautiful photos. David and Shannon were excellent people to work with. Not only were they extremely professional and talented photographers, but they were also very flexible and prompt in anwering questions and getting our photos back to us after the wedding. Our album ended up being more beautiful than I had ever expected, and I will always enjoy showing it to family and friends!

    My husband and I got married in Xenia in January and Locke Innovations did an absolutely fabulous job capturing the day. They were great about meeting with us before the wedding to get an idea of who we are and what kind of pictures we wanted. I was planning everything from New York, which could have made it difficult, but they were so flexible and so prompt about replying via phone and email until we could meet in person. The day of the wedding they were so great about keeping us relaxed and laughing and smiling throughout the pictures. My husband and I are kind of goofy and rather than reeling us in, they let us be ourselves and caught some great candids that turned out to be our favorite pictures of the day. They were also very creative about finding places to shoot that I would not have thought of, like doing a series of shots on a swingset that turned out so fun, and using the stained glass windows in the church for some beautiful shots. It was certainly not an easy environment to shoot in - it was kind of a cloudy day and the lighting in the church is kind of dark and yellow and usually completely washes me out, but you would not know it to look at our pictures...they are just beautiful. They clearly know their stuff about weddings...Shannon even helped me to get an eyeshadow stain out of my dress because she came prepared with Shout wipes! My family raves about how beautiful our pictures are, and our friends say that our pictures are not just a perfect reflection of the day, but also a great portrayal of us as a couple. They were a pleasure to work with and we could not have asked for better photographers.

    I can't say enough about Locke Innovations. Our pictures were absolutely perfect. My husband and i couldn't be more pleased with our photos. They were very accommodating and went out of their way on many occasions to provide the best service possible. The wedding book they created was not only unique but it captured our wedding day from morning until evening. The book is something we will treasure forever. We have recommend Locke Innovations to our friends for their upcoming wedding and would do so again.

    Locke Innovations were outstanding! They far exceeded our expectations. Shannon was quick to respond when emails were sent and easy to reach when needed. They were very professional and offer a husband and wife team that makes for a unique dynamic. Because of this they are able to capture both the planned and candid photos. The money we spent provided us with pictures that captured our special day and will be shared for a lifetime - money well spent! In terms of flexibilty they flew out from Ohio to Washington on about 2 months notice, so I would say they are very flexible! HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommended!

I would recommend them to any bride! They are awesome!!!!

    Locke Innovations put together a wonderful day for us - they captured every moment my husband and I had asked for, and then our favorite pictures now are those where they captured us naturally together. I could not have asked for more friendly, personable photographers, and any time I had questions leading up to my big day or on the day, Shannon was right there to answer and put me at ease. PERFECT!
