Testimonials

Lainey made all of our wedding dreams come to life, and did so much more for our day than simply photograph the wedding! she helped behind the scenes when my dress clip busted, constantly made sure my mangled train was picture perfect hah, advocated for US, captured details and moments we weren't able to see, and so much more. looking through our gallery makes me feel like i am reliving the most wonderful dream - even the moments i wasn't present for. 10/10 would recommend <3

Taylor & Tripp

Lainey's professionalism and phenomenal talent behind a lens made beautiful lifetime memories for our family.  Lainey makes every effort to make you feel comfortable and makes a point to include your ideas.
