    Wonderful Experience!!

    We could not have been happier with our experience with Lauren & Marissa! Not only did we have to change the venue for my daughter's wedding 3 times, we also had to change the date. Lauren and Marissa were so kind and understanding. They are quick to communicate, so accommodating and they make you feel like family. The photos and videos were beyond our expectations! We cry, we laugh and we relive the most perfect day every time we look at them. We are so grateful for our experience with ML Photos and Film!

    The best photographer and videographer in Austin

    As soon as I got engaged, I knew I wanted ML Photo & Film to shoot my wedding! Marissa and Lauren are the sweetest, most talented photographers and videographers I have ever worked with. Their work speaks for itself! My bridal portraits were STUNNING and they made me feel so beautiful! I am so in love with my wedding photos and they were super quick at sending me sneak peeks right after the bridals and wedding. They did a great job at the wedding at getting family photos and making sure every group got the photos they wanted. I highly recommend them for your wedding! I am so glad I got both photos and a video, so I can cherish this memory forever!

    Dream Team!!!

    Do yourself a favor and hire Marissa and Lauren right now!!! They are absolutely amazing!! Not only is their work incredible but they are two very genuine and kind people. I had originally booked a different photographer that informed me 2 months out from our wedding that they were not comfortable with shooting due to COVID. I saw ML and after speaking to them I think it was a blessing in disguise. They are beyond talented, amazing to work with and worth every cent. They captured every moment and I could not be more in love with our wedding photos. I cannot wait to continue working with them through all of our milestones!!

    Don't hesitate; hire them now!

    We loved working with Lauren! From our initial phone conversation to receiving our film and working back and forth on a few small edits she was such a pleasure and very professional to work with! Her calming and positive personality was wonderful to have around on our wedding day and she very much put us at ease even though my husband and I don’t exactly love to be on film. She did such a wonderful job filming the ceremony and the whole evening and caught so many special moments; including some of my dear grandfather laughing who unfortunately passed away a few months after our wedding. We were amazed at how she was able to edit so many hours of footage down to perfectly encapsulate the night (with the best soundtrack to match!) We are so glad we hired Lauren as our wedding videographer and know we will enjoy watching our wedding video(s) for many many years to come. We recommend ML Photo & Film without hesitation to anyone who is looking for a fabulous wedding videographer!

    Fun Team to Work With!

    I loved working with Marissa & Lauren! The quality of their work is so evident from their online galleries. What you don't see there is how professional and fun they are! On the day of the wedding, you spend so much time with your photographer and videographer, I think it's necessary to really like them! My bridal party had so much fun hanging out with them! Not only that, but they are so professional that pictures went quickly (which my husband appreciated). They provided a timeline which was the starting point for the rest of my vendors! I really appreciated the survey I was sent before the wedding asking for all combinations of family pictures. It was nice that they requested names be included because it made it so much more personal! I think the last thing I should point out is how timely they were, we got our preview earlier than expected. It's tough to wait 3 weeks for your preview gallery and video, but so worth it when you see the quality! I highly recommend them!

    Photography and Videography Ninjas

    Marissa and Lauren are like little photography and videography ninjas who somehow manage to capture every single moment of your wedding day without ever seeming intrusive or in the way. I can't even count the number of guests who have complimented them post wedding and told us how much they can't wait to see the photos and videos based solely on their professionalism from our wedding day because they know they captured so many good moments because they were EVERYWHERE. They are the absolute sweetest and such a joy to work with, turned out a final product that I know we will be crying and laughing over for years to come, and captured our day as wonderfully as I had hoped they would. I could say so many things about how incredible they are, but I'll leave you with this note: it's not hard to take a good picture when conditions are great, but our wedding day was insanely cold with 25+mph sustained winds and you'd never know it looking at our pictures and videos, which is a testament to their skill. The pictures from our wedding look just as good as the ones from our engagements and my bridals, which were both great weather days. Marissa and Lauren rolled with everything that was thrown their way and still managed to capture our day better than we could have imagined, and we truly couldn't ask anything more of them.

    Best Videographer in Austin

    Lauren of ML Photo & Film filmed our wedding on March 2, 2019. I initially met up with Lauren over a year ago to see if we'd be a good fit. Not only did I immediately know I wanted to work with Lauren because her work is gorgeous (duh!) but ultimately we have become great friends. Lauren is so sweet, super easy to work with, very understanding of any situations that might arise on the day of your wedding and she is quick! I could not recommend her more to future brides. I have watched my video every single day since she sent it. It is truly a gift I will be able to cherish for the rest of my life. Thank you, Lauren!!

    Organized, fun, and FABULOUS!

    We were lucky enough to have Marissa and Lauren travel with us to our wedding in Jamaica! From start to finish I never doubted they were the right choice for our wedding/ "wedding weekend". I will let the photos/ videos speak for themselves for the quality of work these two produce. Every moment from getting ready, to getting down on the dance floor was perfectly captured and we will be able to relive our day through these beautiful photos and videos forever! As for working with ML- I really appreciated that they facetimed and got to know my husband and me! If possible I would 100000% suggest also doing your engagement photos with Marissa. It was a great way for us to get to know her style and to not be super awkward when the main event happened. They are both very professional but also felt like long time friends the whole day.

    Blown Away - Stunning Photo/Video Team, Inside & Out

    If we could give 1,000 stars to Marissa and Lauren, we absolutely would. Working with these two ladies was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding, and we had a team of AMAZING vendors. It’s truly difficult to put into words what an outstanding team these two make, and what beautiful talent they each have as individuals.

    From the moment we FaceTimed with Marissa and Lauren almost a year and a half out from our wedding date, we felt comfortable and like we were talking to friends. Marissa and Lauren were incredibly communicative and professional throughout our 1.5 year engagement, and every time we heard from them we were that much more excited for our big day! Marissa took time to answer every question I had leading up to the wedding (being Type A I had enough of them) and always responded promptly which made me feel at ease. Being from Dallas/Fort-Worth, we got to meet her for the first time for our engagement session one year out from our wedding date. She was every bit as wonderful in person as she had been over phone and email, and she stayed calm when there was a miscommunication regarding the time our planned location was available. Somehow, all thanks to Marissa, we wound up having the entire Dallas Arboretum to ourselves and ended up with the most gorgeous photos! For both our engagement session and our wedding, Marissa’s photos have been stunning and crisp, and they capture every emotion felt in a still image.

    Marissa and Lauren were not only professional come the day of our wedding, but they were FUN and full of so much excitement and positive energy that my husband, myself and our entire bridal party fed off of the entire day and night. These two ladies, along with their second shooters, had a way of making every photo taken and every second filmed feel natural, and they always worked smoothly from one moment to the next. When we got our photo preview and highlight video, I was in awe at some of the moments captured - I truly hadn’t even realized they were taking photos/filming because of how seamless everything was. The gorgeous photos we have already received as part of our preview make us smile from ear to ear every time we look at them and our highlight film still makes us cry without fail - Lauren stitched together the most perfect story of our day, and the music she chose gives me chills. In my father-in-law’s words when he saw our video: “I have happy teardrops flowing and I can’t turn them off!”

    Our best friend/groomsman/officiant who is married himself and has been in at least 8 weddings said that Marissa and Lauren were the best photographer and videographer he has met over the years . . . while we haven’t been in as many weddings as him, we couldn’t agree more. Thank you Marissa and Lauren for capturing our day so beautifully and for being such a joy to work with! Love, The Drinans (Julie and Zak)

    We absolutely loved working with Lauren from ML Photo & Film. We used ML for video for our wedding! Throughout the whole wedding planning process she would check-in on us to see how everything wedding-related was going, not just for our video needs. She is a true gem!!!! She also has STELLAR work, it is seriously incredible. When we got engaged, some friends of ours said the #1 thing that should be a non-negotiable vendor to book is video, and we couldn’t agree more now that we’re married and have been able to relive wedding day moments through what Lauren has put together. Everyone that has watched what she put together raves about her work, including us!! If you’re looking for a videographer for your wedding we hands down recommend Lauren at ML. She is simply the best!!

    I knew they would have beautiful photos from their Instagram, but I didn’t know how sweet, kind, fun and caring they would be. I LOVE these ladies!! They made everything so incredibly easy and they capture such beautiful moments so quickly. Everyone raved about how kind they were and willing to take photos of all the guest couples. I haven’t stopped staring at my pictures since I received them. Marissa and Lauren know what they’re doing and you can trust that they’ll give you something to cherish for the rest of your life.

    I don’t even know where to begin with expressing how AMAZING Marissa & Lauren are! I had the pleasure of working with ML as both a vendor & a bride. Marissa is absolutely fantastic at what she does! I knew from the minute I got engaged that I needed Marissa for my wedding photographer & I couldn’t have made a better choice.

    Our family, wedding party and guests can’t stop saying enough good things about all of our wedding photos. I love how Marissa and her second shooter captured all the little details that you want to keep as forever memories & of course, perfect portraits.

    Marissa made my husband and I feel so comfortable during our photo sessions & I don’t think I’ve ever had so much fun taking pictures before! We are going to have to order multiple wedding albums because all the pictures are just that PERFECT! You can’t go wrong with this dynamic duo!

    Lauren and Marissa are the PERFECT duo! I could not say enough wonderful things about them to do justice. They are genuine, organized and so easy to work with. You will have your last appointment and miss them already. We got a sneak peek of the video after a few short weeks after the wedding, and it still brings me to tears. They truly do an outstanding job!

    Lauren and Marissa are seriously THE BEST! If you are looking for a wedding photographer and videographer please do yourself a favor and book ML photo and film. They are so sweet, easy to work with, and most importantly talented. I was overwhelmed how beautiful everything turned out. Several friends and family have commented that our wedding photos are the most beautiful they have ever seen. I feel so fortunate to have found them. Thank you Marissa and Lauren!!

    We have loved working with Marissa and Lauren for our wedding photos and videos and my bridal portraits! They are so friendly and professional, and we have felt so comfortable throughout the whole process, which is so important when you're in front of a camera. They have gotten our photos and videos to us in a timely manner, and we're so excited to see the finished products in a few weeks! If I had to start all over, I would happily pick ML Photo & Film again!

    ML Photo and Film is truly the best decision we made when planning our wedding. They captured our May wedding at LBJ Wildflower Center perfectly. The photos and videos are exactly as we remember the day, sunny, happy and full of happy tears and dance moves. Not only did they capture our day exactly as we remember it but they put in the work ahead of time to make sure they knew exactly what we wanted. From asking and knowing what shots were important to us (to the extent Marissa reminded me of a shot I'd mentioned to her months ago) to how long we wanted to spend in family shots - no detail was missed!

    I simply don't have enough good things to say about Marissa and Lauren. The highlights are:

    -They are personable. We always felt at ease with them at my bridals, engagement dinner and the entire wedding day they were easy to work with and kept us laughing and feeling amazing.
    -They are extremely organized. What bride doesn't love their photographer/videographer to answer their questions completely and so so quickly?
    -They are fast! We had our short video and about 40 photos within two weeks of our wedding. That is unheard of but couldn't be more meaningful to us and other couples.

    The added bonus is that Marissa and Lauren are sisters and they work together so effortlessly!

    Lauren filmed out big day, and we couldn't have been happier! She is very accommodating to any changes or requests that you have, and completely understanding of any questions you have. We didn't even notice when she was there, and everything caught was so natural. She has an amazing vision, and it showed through on our wedding video. We can't stop getting watery-eyed every time we watch it!

    Marissa and Lauren were so awesome during our whole wedding journey. They did our wedding photos/videos as well as our engagement photos. They were so professional, friendly, so easy to work with and overall just awesome people. I highly recommend hiring them. Our pictures and video turned out better than we expected and I couldn't help but cry and get teary eyed every time I see and watch our pictures and video. They truly captured the essence of our wedding and it resonated with the work that they do. I am forever grateful with their team for their work and you won't be disappointed hiring them.

    I simply cannot put into words how grateful I am for Marissa and Lauren. I whole-heartedly endorse them! What a wonderful duo! They are incredibly easy to work with and have such a fantastic eye for their craft. After meeting with them the first time, I felt like we were friends! They are very detail oriented but also so so personable. Their easy-going nature made it a pleasure to have them spend time with us the whole day. They didn't miss a beat and were so energetic the entire day. Their attention to detail and organization made me feel at ease! They were very organized while I was planning the wedding and I was so grateful that I knew they had all details in order. True to themselves, they were also so organized during the wonderful but hectic wedding day. For example, I had just a few orange roses in my bouquet and asked them to make sure I was holding my bouquet at a good angle to show the roses. EVERY picture has the orange I wanted and they were very kind to remind me to hold my bouquet the right way. Plus, both offered expert ideas and thought of fun variations in the poses I suggested. They were completely on-top of things and helped make sure we got all of our pictures in, which was so relieving to be able to trust in them for such an important part of the day. They completely captured the sentiment of our wedding day through video and photos! It is incredible! I am SO glad we chose to do both the video and photo package. The day went by so quickly and I am so grateful to have amazing wedding photos and videos to review. Each photo makes me smile for hours- they are simply stunning! I also have received so many compliments on our wedding video- I have been told how unique and perfectly crafted the video is. PLEASE choose M&L for your wedding photography and videography. You will be in such good hands!!

    ML Photo&Film is fantastic! I booked only photography, but they have videography packages as well. Really reasonably priced considering how great of a job they do. I have already gotten my engagement photos done and LOVE them! She lets you know when you will get your photos back (only 2 weeks for engagement) and a preview one week and it was a lot of photos for a preview - at least 30. And she was very relaxed when taking the photos, not so posey, more natural. I can't wait for her to shoot my bridal and wedding day!
