Jordan K. Sent on 12/26/2019Stunning photos, exceptional people!
After seeing photos of a friend's wedding, we knew we HAD to have Love Leon as our photographer. We wanted real photos of our day, and we wanted to look like us. We knew we would get photos that checked all our boxes, but what we didn't know is that we were getting an advocate and friend. When plans had to change due to the weather, Lauren stepped in and problem solved with my wedding vision in mind. She listened to me and heard what I was saying and ran with it. And you can truly see that in our photos! We plan on calling Love Leon when we need photos for future life events and hope they are part of these events with us! -

Just the "look" we were seeking!
Anyone who's been through the wedding-planning process before knows that the moment you get engaged, you're BOMBARDED by a mass of people claiming to be "professional" wedding photographers. As such, I was understandably hesitant to look into Lauren and Casey's photography after my husband (and Casey's coworker) suggested we hire them for both our engagement photos and our big day. Once I ventured to their website to check out their work, I was blown away with their picture quality and editing skills! More importantly, their photography was the exact "look" I had been seeking. I LOVE their use of natural light and the warm look and feel of their photos—especially since I'm not a fan of the current dark and moody photography trend.
Some of the best advice we received while wedding-planning was to allow ourselves to splurge on wedding photography, and I'm SO glad we listened. Your wedding photography is something that you, your family, and your future family will cherish and look at often. Therefore, it should beautifully and candidly capture the emotions and details of the day, as well as the personalities of both the bride and groom. In order to do so, you need a photographer that knows exactly what they're doing—like Lauren and Casey. Both our engagement photos and wedding photos were gorgeous, and turned out better than we ever anticipated! Our big day was full of countless happy tears and endless laughter, and Lauren and Casey captured each instance perfectly. Further, and most notably, we felt comfortable with Lauren and Casey because they allowed us to have fun and just be ourselves (i.e., no picture was too posed).
We may come off as biased when we say our wedding photos are some of the best we've ever seen; however, our wedding was months ago and we STILL receive compliments on our photos! -

Our experience with Love, Leon was exceptional, and we are so glad Lauren and Casey were with us to capture all of the amazing moments from our wedding day!
From the very initial planning session, Lauren was knowledgeable, professional, and passionate. They were well prepared and always seemed to know exactly what shots would work, which really helped us execute efficiently (that is saying a lot considering we took pictures with our family).
Not only are they great photographers, they are also fun to be around! We appreciated their honesty, humor, and patience; characteristics we now value in an awesome wedding photographers duo and our marriage!
The pictures are PERFECT. We absolutely adore them. Our wedding day was everything we could have imagined, and so was working with Love, Leon. -

Heather C. Sent on 06/14/2019Love, Leon works Magic!
We could not have been more in love with the way Lauren & Casey captured our big day! They made our photos look straight out of a fairy-tale. We honestly have no words to describe how perfectly these photos came out. For someone who's usually the one capturing memories, it can be hard to entrust that role to someone else. That's especially true on such a momentous occasion, but Lauren & Casey are certainly worth trusting! Love, Leon isn't just there to photograph your big day. They're there to make sure you eat your lunch, are in the perfect lighting for your first dance, to move your cake to the best possible location, to remind you to relax and enjoy your day, and to be a calm in the storm. Lauren & Casey are the sweetest and we cannot say enough good things about them or the work they do! -

Breathtaking photography
Any choice besides Lauren & Casey is just simply wrong. Their work is professional, phenomenal, and ultimately an artistic masterpiece. We were able to relive our wedding day through Lauren & Casey's photography- we decided against videography knowing well enough that Lauren and Casey would deliver. They did! We couldn't be any more thrilled with our vendor choices, especially for photography. Lauren knew exactly what I wanted and needed before I did (and I'm a woman who pretty much ALWAYS knows what I want), and Casey's detail work is unbelievable. They went above and beyond for us, including indulging my rather untraditional schedule and accommodating my massive bridal party. We didn't expect Lauren & Casey to be so grounding for us on our chaotic, special day, but they were. We are so appreciative for their presence and art work. You cannot go wrong with this lovely duo! -

Highly Recommend
Richard and I can’t say enough amazing things about Lauren and Casey. They were an absolute pleasure to work with from the moment I contacted them through the end of our wedding. We loved how at ease Lauren made us feel at our engagement shoot and we left feeling more like friends. The photos tell a story and bring back every feeling from our wedding day. We continue to get compliments on our engagement and wedding photos. Their personality and humor make them a joy to be around and work with. We look forward to using them for more photos in the future. Thank you so much!

Amanda Sent on 10/08/2018Love, Leon was the second major decision Richard and I made for the wedding. No style, theme, ect had been decided on but as soon as I saw one of their photographs I felt something inside I had never felt before. And I knew that feeling was what I wanted for our wedding. The images are more than just a photo – they tell a story of true love. So delicate but so strong. They capture a feeling, not just a moment in time.
I am not very comfortable in front of a camera but 5 minutes into our engagement session it was like we were hanging out with our best friend. Lauren made us feel so comfortable! These feelings transitioned into the wedding day as well. She has a way of calming all the nerves inside so that you can focus on the day! Her and Casey were such a breeze to work with and knew exactly what we wanted without us having to tell them. We had some issues with weather on our big day and they offered to come back to the venue with us at a later date for our portrait session so that it can be exactly what we wanted it to be.
I am so beyond grateful for that offer and for them working with us for the perfect re-do. I have never felt so confident, strong, and beautiful than I do when I look at their work. They captured who we are and our love for each other. The pictures are more than I ever could have imagined - both of us, and our families, will cherish them forever.

Beautiful, amazing photos!
Love, Leon was recommended to us by my younger sister. My wife was drawn to the beautiful, natural photos, capturing not just the individuals but the landscape and the moments. It didn’t take long for us to decide that Love, Leon was going to be our photographer.
Lauren & Casey were amazing during our wedding, all the way from the first look to the sparkler send-off. Their energy is contagious and they got all the little moments that we truly cherish. Lauren worked so quickly and we love our gallery and the photo album!
Lauren also has great recommendations too! We trusted her and everyone followed through. We were blessed to have them!

Jocelyn Sent on 10/05/2018Krauter Photography was the first thing we booked after we set the wedding date. Our friends used them for their wedding and we were obsessed at how perfectly they captured their love that we had to have them! They didn't disappoint. I've never seen more beautiful pictures IN MY LIFE. And we are probably biased because they are pictures of us and all of the people that we love, but they truly captured every detail, every kiss, every laugh, every moment that we could've possibly wanted. The image that we had of our wedding day in our heads was completely blown out of the water compared to the beautiful pictures they captured. The photos are ethereal, whimsical, forrest-y. The photos embodied us. We couldn't have felt anymore like a little woodland fairy couple just sprinkling our love all over nature (cheesy but it's appropriate). Lauren and Casey, thank you for being our little fairy godparents on that day letting us love each other openly, freely and in nature. This explanation truly doesn't even do it justice what our hearts are bursting to say to you both. So.. We will just say THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for capturing our love and spirit in every-single-photo!!

Carli Sent on 10/05/2018We are so happy we chose Casey and Lauren to capture our wedding day. They were amazing to work with. How they conducted themselves and their demeanors allowed us to feel so comfortable around them, like we had known them for years. This enabled them to capture our authentic emotions as we laughed and cried through the magical afternoon. I love that when I look back at the pictures we don’t see posed photos, but photos that capture the love and happiness that filled that day, pretty and ugly tears, times when Lauren asked Colin and I to tell each other why we chose one another. It was so nice of them to take the two of us away from all the craziness of that day and allow our minds to escape into what truly mattered most, the arms of each other. Our session before the wedding with them and the resulting photos will be the tangible and intangible memories we cherish for the rest of our lives. We highly recommend Lauren and Casey, and if we could offer any type of advice, that would be to book them for a few extra hours ;). – Carli & Colin

Taylor Sent on 10/03/2018Lauren + Kasey are incredibly talented in so many ways. They had an unmatchable passion for capturing the smallest of moments on our biggest day. Starting with our engagement session, we could tell that Love, Leon was hands down the best photographer to show who we are as a couple. For the wedding photos, we couldn't have been more impressed with their persona. They have a way of being professional, yet laid-back, which was refreshing for a nervous bride and groom. During the shoots, both Lauren + Kasey found ways to make you forget about all that might go wrong. They asked simple questions, made us dance out the stress, and handed us a drink right when we need it most. It was such a pleasure to work with them, and we couldn't have imagined our wedding photos to be any more perfect than the work of Love, Leon!

Laura Sent on 10/04/2018Working with Love, Leon was the most stressful part of planning our wedding. After hiring Love, Leon and putting down our 50% deposit, we felt that Lauren’s interest in us and our wedding ended.
At the beginning of June, I reached out to Lauren to set + confirm our first in-person meeting. Lauren informed us that she and her husband (2nd shooter) were moving to Germany at the end of the week and she would be unable to meet until the afternoon before my wedding day. As I probed further, she admitted that Casey was no longer available to shoot the wedding and she had already hired a new 2nd shooter with whom I was not familiar.
We begged for our deposit back so that we could go with another photographer and Lauren refused to make an exception. She informed us that she would be keeping our deposit regardless of our decision. We didn’t have the budget to pay another photographer without getting that $1,650 deposit back, so we had to proceed with Lauren and try to make the best of this new situation.
Her demeanor on the day-of was fine. The only thing that struck me as odd & unprofessional was when she asked the Matron of Honor to buy her an Uber home during the reception.
After receiving the photos, we noticed that the family and group shots were blurry. I reached out to Lauren asking for sharper versions that were suitable for printing. At this point, she admitted that she had made a mistake during our group photo session and she did not have any in-focus photos of our wedding party, the bride’s family, the bride + groom’s family or my grandparents.
All this to say – Love, Leon added stress to the wedding process rather than alleviating it – maybe it was a one-time mistake, but I wouldn’t recommend taking that risk on your wedding day.
**As a courtesy, I let Lauren know in advance that we would be sharing our honest experience on this platform. In response, she offered + delivered a 50% refund and apologized**
Love, Leon's reply:
Laura,
I'm thankful for the opportunity to shoot your wedding; however, I'm more than apologetic that you were unhappy with the results. I understand the magnitude of the situation and will continue doing what I am capable of to make this right.
Unfortunately, in this situation, there were some circumstantial obstacles that affected our experience; however, I understand your perception of the situation.
Love, Leon absolutely prides ourselves on our exceptional service and high-quality photos, and I would like any additional suggestions you have on how we might be able to make it up to you.
Best always,
L, L -
