“We hired Stephen Lawson Photography to capture our elopement at the last minute and he was extremely accommodating! To be clear, we contacted him about 14 hours before the wedding. He was on time, extremely professional, and took an ample amount of photos. He even used a vintage camera to get a really cool shot at the end! He showed us some of the photos on the camera itself, and they looked absolutely flawless. As a person with a darker complexion who takes iPhone pictures for fun, I’m always concerned the camera will not highlight my features properly due to weak performance. This did not happen, the pictures I saw were already color graded beautifully to highlight my husband and I! I sent about 10 inspo pics from Pinterest, and he was able to quickly capture them all. It felt wonderful having someone who could do that for us without us worrying about lighting, poses, or angles. He was extremely kind and very polite. I would work with Stephen Lawson Photography again 10 times over! 10/10 recommend! Thank you!”

“Stephen was the best! He took both my Airbnb and engagement photographs. I’m very pleased with his work. Prior to my photoshoot, my now husband and I had no idea what to expect from a photo session and posing was an out of this world concept for us by then. Stephen truly understood our vision and the essence of our love story; he managed to capture it all. He skillfully utilized various settings, lighting techniques and poses to create a diverse range of stunning shots. Stephen’s attention to detail is unmatched; from checking that my stray hairs stay away from my face, to helping us nail the natural candid looks. Furthermore, the turnaround time for receiving our edited photos was impressively fast. The quality, the editing (*chef’s kiss), everything surpassed our expectations, every image was meticulously retouched while still maintaining a natural look. I think that my pictures came out perfect! I wholeheartedly recommend this photographer to anyone searching for an expert who can bring out the essence of your fairytale. Again, I can’t recommend him enough and I am for sure booking my next session for my LinkedIn profile!”
