TESTIMONIALS

From the start of our wedding planning, Alan made us feel comfortable by helping us plan out our schedule and when to take certain pictures throughout the day. When COVID made us reschedule our wedding, Alan adjusted with ease. On the day of, Alan and his partner, Ben, were AMAZING! They got all the specific shots we had requested, and their natural skill and creativity took care of everything else. When it was time to take pictures with larger groups of people, they coordinated our family and the wedding party in a timely manner and with a great attitude. They always did everything they could to alleviate any stress on us throughout the day.  After the wedding, we knew that they had tons of great photos, so we were anxious to get them back. Alan was quick and gave us a sneak peek before sending over all the photos from the day. Alan and Ben captured every special moment from our wedding and they were everything we had hoped for. There were a few minor edits we requested and Alan did them in a timely manner without hesitation. They communicated well, made the process very easy for us, and we had such a fun time working with them! We are so thankful for everything they did and would highly recommend them for capturing your wedding!

Oh my, where do I even begin to describe just how amazing Alan is?? When my husband and I were first engaged, I knew immediately that out of everything, I wanted an amazing photographer, since the photos will last forever. I was immediately blown away by Alan’s portfolio. He uses light and color so creatively and finds beauty in the most minuscule objects. It is a relieving bonus that Alan is extremely personable. He put me at ease right away about capturing the memory of my wedding day. He is upbeat, quirky, and an obvious family man. Unfortunately, COVID pushed our big wedding back a year. We decided to go ahead and push forward with a small ceremony, and our big reception is this December. When I called Alan to figure out a plan for having him work with us for both dates, he was beyond flexible and even contributed some insight and ideas that I had not thought of. On our actual wedding day, if it had not been for his cameras that he was holding, you would have guessed that Alan was a member of my family. He fit in so well and we all ADORED having him there. We are beyond excited for round 2, in just a few short weeks.

There is no one I would recommend more highly that Alan and Lighter Focus Photography! Alan has been so kind through all of our wedding planning and so helpful. He has so many tips and tricks to make weddings go smoothly. Not to mention he is so great with picture turnaround and makes sure to share plenty of previews! Our wedding day was the BEST day of our lives and I don’t think anyone would have captured it more beautifully. Alan never missed a second so going through our pictures means we get to relive every detail and all the details we missed all over again. Alan is so laid back and his professionalism and attention to detail was so so appreciated. His talent is TOP of the charts. His creativity is so unique and amazing. We get so many compliments on how great our pictures were for both our wedding day and our engagement photos. Don’t waste a second in hiring Lighter Focus!!!
