88 Love Stories

sly into the whole wedding day. We could not have been happier with the final products too! Without a doubt I would highly recommend Shaun and 88 Love Stories to all my friends and family.

ke he was a buddy from the moment we met him. His expertise, professional knowledge, and experince resulted in sparkling photoraphs that so wonderfully capture our special day! Our wedding was a bicultural ceremony and Shaun captured all the events in a supportive, flexible, and organized manner. He far exceeded all of our expectations and all the peopelcan't stop talking about our photos of our wedding that we will cherish for a lifetime. You have one wedding, and I can think of better person to entrust the one shot of capturign your special day to then Shaun!

m to document the day. Would absolutely recommend. We also received our pictures within a month, in time to make Christmas gifts from a November wedding. So fast!! Thanks, Shaun!

e us feel comfortable in front of the camera (despite wedding-day jitters), was flexible and patient when hair and makeup took a little longer than planned, and generally just went above and beyond making everything so easy for us. Knowing we had a packed schedule the morning of, she was even sweet enough to come a little earlier than originally planned to ensure she had enough time to get details. Our pictures came in about a month after the wedding and they are so beautiful - we are so happy with them and cannot stop looking through them! We are struggling to pick which ones to frame and cannot wait to put as many as we can in an album. Thank you so much Ashley for capturing all our special moments so perfectly, we are so grateful for everything!

dding! We loved loved loved his energy and he was very easy to work with. I cannot wait to see the pictures and will update then but wanted to write something today :)

the perfect moments. He setup the first look with my dad and husband perfectly, making the moments even more special. Shaun made us feel comfortable and listened to our vision from engagement photos to wedding day.

e business relationship, Shaun was professional, timely, kind, and actively wanted to work with us. He drove out to Charlottesville, VA in the early AM to shoot our engagement photos on UVA Grounds. He even had a spare belt in his car when Nic had forgotten to pack his. Shaun has an amazing way of working with people during the photography sessions to get exactly the right pose and best photos out of them. He suggested poses and places, but often his directions were non-technical. Like "now look at each other, now laugh, now serious". He did not pose us like mannequins, he captured our love and how we naturally looked at, touched, or held each other. Even after postponing and downsizing our wedding, Shaun remained flexible. He accommodated our new date quickly, and made himself very available to us in case of any last minute planning or changes. On the day of, he made sure to capture the casual and candid moments just as much as the posed and framed ones. During the ceremony, Shaun was unobtrusive. He quietly and accurately captured our ceremony, which allowed us to enjoy ourselves without worry. He arrived at our dinner venue early for some final pictures, and stayed long enough to capture us cutting the cake. After the wedding, we received our digital photos in 2 weeks. They had great variety and looking through them it felt like we got to relive the special day. All in all, we could not have asked for a better experience.

ng was missed. They even thought of taking shots that I hadn't thought of and they are some of my favorite photos! I'm so happy with how all the photos turned out and so happy with the experience they all brought to the wedding day. They helped keep the party and happy day vibes all day long and I couldn't have asked for a better photographer!

asking you to perform different tasks, which helpfully takes the thinking out of posing. On the actual wedding day, James and Ashley set up our first look and it went off without a hitch. They also handle the chaos of a wedding day extremely well and know how to get the right people in the right places at the right time. As said before, we would highly recommend using 88 love stories for your photography needs!

special moments nothing short of fascinating, as he was able to bring our big day to life and get amazing photos of both posed and candid situations. Shaun was somehow able to get photos of all the big moments of our wedding day while never being seen, as he never disturbed any guests but was always at the right place at the exact right time. The only thing that exceeds Shaun’s ability as a photographer is his character. Long story short, both our engagement shoot and wedding day faced more problems than anticipated. Shaun was able to maneuver them effortlessly, taking control when necessary and making us feel great about the updated run of show. Additionally, he is kind, caring, thoughtful and truly wants what’s best for couples. Any request thrown at him he made work, and there was no question he had our best interests in mind from the first phone call we had with him. Simply put, Shaun is a fantastic photographer and a great person who we were thrilled was an important piece of our wedding day.

el so at ease and comfortable in front of the camera! Our pictures are stunning and perfect and we couldn't be happier!

m, creative, fun and simply the best!! We wanted our wedding day to be perfect and James made that a reality, capturing every important moment. James was able to bring our love to life in our pictures. He was able to reproduce the very essence of who we are as a couple. Both of our large families really enjoyed working with James and complimented his overall approach and style. He was inclusive, patient, efficient and effective. If you choose 88 Love Stories and James Lee you will not be disappointed, it will be the absolute best investment you will make for your wedding or engagement. We cannot say thank you enough to this amazing photographer for the spectacular photos of our wedding. He is truly a visionary and we are beyond thrilled and pleased with the final product. THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES A MILLION JAMES LEE!!!

ent shoot and then drove more than an hour out of her way for our dream location; to say she was accommodating is an understatement! On the day of, Stephanie and Jess handled our (sometimes difficult) families perfectly, and by the end of the day, it felt like we were talking to friends and wedding guests more than vendors. Most importantly, the pictures are amazing and arrived only a few weeks after our wedding. We definitely recommend them!

orking, and fun to be around. What drew us to them was their ability to capture moments genuinely and edit photos authentically. It’s so common nowadays for photographers to take mediocre photos and slap on a wispy filter to make them look romantic. We knew we did not want our photos to be edited in such a trendy manner because we might look back on them with regret, years down the road. We thought of our photos as the most important wedding investment we could make. Afterall, they are the one thing we will look back on the most from our wedding day. We can honestly say that we made a great investment by hiring 88 Love Stories. The photos they produced are worth every penny and we know we will look back on our wonderful memories for decades to come. What's more, 88 Love Stories has an innovative method that allows them to process and deliver finished photos in record time! We received our STUNNING photos in just a couple of weeks. They sent us a link to their portal where we could view photos, heart our favorites, download, or purchase directly through them with a discount. This also made sharing photos with loved ones, a breeze! 88 Love Stories also mailed us a USB drive with all of our high resolution photos and they even included a few complementary prints which was such a sweet and unexpected surprise. We had a wonderful time doing our complimentary engagement photos with James. He is such a genuine person and talented photographers. We were truly impressed by the photos he captured and still consider him a great friend. It was a great preview for what we could expect on the day of the wedding. And we were nothing but impressed. On the day of the wedding, we had the luxury of having both Shaun and James throughout the day. They were with us at every step of the way, capturing every moment and detail to perfection. They worked so well together and with our videography team and other vendors. And they often led the pack, with their high level of experience photographing weddings. Our wedding guests were so impressed by the high energy, congeniality, and professionalism they exuded from beginning to end and so were we. They absolutely killed it on the day of the wedding! We could not be happier with the way things flowed and with the GORGEOUS WEDDING PHOTOS they masterfully captured. Trust us when we say that hiring 88 Love Stories is THE BEST WEDDING INVESTMENT you can make! We’ll just let our photos speak for themselves.

ve had him capture our day! The photos are incredible - tear- and laugh-inducing and they instantly bring us back to our perfect day. If you're not sure who to book for your wedding photographer (or engagement or anything else!), 88 Love Stories is outstanding and absolutely best in class. Highest recommendation!

our photo taken. We are very happy with our choice to use 88 Love Stories and would highly recommend them!

pictures, there is greenery just laying on the floor in one of the shots and at no time did either photographer attempt to fix my train during the photos. My Mistress of Ceremonies finally got frustrated and corrected it. I understand that due to the time in the evening we were pressed for daylight, but for the amount of money spent on this package, I really did expect so much more. I realized there is also not a single photo of just myself, my husband and my parents, although a timeline was provided. I was also disappointed that we didn't have pictures taken of our hands together with our rings, I was under the assumption that this would have been something standard in most sessions. There were definitely some things that I wish I could change, but overall, we have some nice pictures to remember our special day.

Lee, we knew that he was going to be the photographer for us. James spent 45+ minutes on the phone with her, discussing life, dogs, and video games. We met him for brunch at our favorite brunch place and discussed us as a couple, how we met, our values, our hobbies, and James seemed genuinely enamored. The way he talked about his work was inspiring, and we knew that we wouldn’t be making a mistake going with him and his team. The prices were a little on the higher side, but the service we received was worth every single penny and then some. The first time we worked with James was for our engagement session. He was incredibly patient with us while we had to juggle the date around several times. When the time finally came, he worked with us in a way that made us happy and comfortable - being the total nerds that we are. Because he knew that dog rescue was a big part of who we are, he took special care to include our dogs in the shoot, making them a focal point in many ways. He listened to our ideas and accommodated us in every way. He even tolerated 95 degree weather in Deep Run Park in order to get us the shots we wanted. When the time came for the wedding, James showed up to our rehearsal the day before. He took beautiful photos of our wedding party, and took the time to make sure everyone was comfortable working with him before the big day. The morning of, he showed up on time and eager to work. His ideas were amazing, and he did most of his work without stressing out the bride or the wedding party. He was sociable and easy to talk to, and made everyone feel at ease, despite wielding a giant camera. He worked through our getting ready process, taking amazing photos of me, my girls, and the dogs. He and his partner took great pictures of our decor, and even got some really awesome shots of the groom and groomsmen while they got ready. Because of his personal friendship with hour videographer (Adam Samuelson at Memories), he allowed Adam to use his drone in order to get some awesome footage of the venue for our video. Honestly, I could go on all day about the incredible service James and 88LS provided. He is passionate about his work, super creative, and incredibly professional and talented. The quality of our photos is everything I could have dreamed of. He let us - and encouraged us to - be our silly and goofy selves, and still managed to get beautiful shots of us in addition to the silly ones. He paid close attention to our dogs because he knew it was important to us. I cannot sing 88LS’s praises enough. If you are planning to get married, you should absolutely at least have a conversation with James and/or his team.

Included in the package was an engagement photoshoot, and he gave us a gorgeous recommendation - Belle Isle. James continues to impress with his beautiful photos and keeps it causal and FUN. You can definitely tell he has a true passion; would recommend to anyone needing a wedding photographer!

ll cherish forever. He was a true professional to work with, responding to any inquiry within 24 hours. He takes the time to really get to know the couple and understand their love story. It makes for an amazing working relationship and the pictures he captures are breathtaking. I can’t recommend 88 Love Stories enough.

uld tell he was great at making people feel at ease. We were both really nervous for the engagement shoot, but he kept us laughing so we got natural looking beautiful pictures. My bridal party and family loved him on the wedding day. He and Lindsey were a joy to have around the whole day. He really does get your pictures to you as fast as he says, and they look amazing! I’m having such a hard time narrowing down my favorites for the album! Photography is the one area of weddings I had heard the most horror stories about while planning. You do not want to regret your decision and be left with bad photos or bad memories. That will not happen with James! I will recommend him to anyone I know getting married!

ly responsive and so much fun to work with. The turn around for getting our photos back was the quickest I have ever seen. The pictures from our wedding were AWESOME, so much so we are buying a photo album and have no clue how we will narrow down what pictures to use!! I would recommend 88 Love Stories for any occasion!

lutely gorgeous !! I highly recommend these guys !!!!!

true professional. I recommend him to everyone for any kind of photos!

ures are so creative yet timeless. We are very impressed by James' photography and highly recommend using him to capture your memories!

aid to photograph my small wedding. My now-husband and I had a very relaxed event at a local restaurant, and James captured the essence of our gathering in hundreds of beautiful pictures. He even took a video without being asked!! He arrived early, stayed later than contracted, and got our pictures edited and loaded onto his website gallery within a week!! James listened to my needs and suggestions in the beginning stages of our planning, which was a mere 4 weeks before the wedding day, and used his creative genius to improve on my Pinterest inspiration/ideas. All my family and friends loved him, and I do too!! Thank you 88 Love Stories, I wouldn't change a thing!!!

able in the process) so I knew the wedding would come out great as well. The photographers arrived early, kept it fun, kept us at ease and were very organized. The communication level is the highest of all of our vendors-they were prompt in their response and always professional. They are so friendly that I truly enjoyed having them in the bridal suite all day. Our pictures were ready in A WEEK, fully edited and so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes. They really captured our entire day and every feeling of emotion throughout it. THANK YOU 88 LOVE STORIES! -Ashley & Eric Married May 4th 2013

ographers seem like part of the wedding by the time the night is over. They truly care about their service provided and the quality of their products. They give unique perspective to photos while bringing a warm personality to share in the day.
