Bryan and Lauren were amazing. They truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect. We wanted candid shots that captured the real feeling of our day, and they absolute...
ly delivered. All of the photos have feeling behind them, not just the traditional stand and smile style. Looking through the album transports us back to the day in the best way. On top of fantastic photography, Bryan stepped in to do whatever (and I mean anything) that needed to get done. For example, my (now) husband realized last minute that he didn't have the right holes in his shirt for the custom cuff links that I'd gotten him for our wedding. Without a second thought, Bryan grabbed a pair of scissors and MADE the holes right there! There are many other similar stories I could tell but the bottom line is, Bryan will do whatever it takes to make your day as perfect as possible and will deliver the photos you are looking for. He is also kind, funny, and a pleasure to work with from start to finish. I couldn't recommend him and his team more.

We booked A Life Built For Two Photography for our wedding in April 2023.
Laikyn and Bryan are an amazing husband and wife couple that together make up A Life Built for Two Photo...
graphy! From the moment we first talked to them, during our photographer search, we knew we wanted to go with them! They are so warm, welcoming, and friendly. They immediately put us at ease about the photo process and provided photo options that covered exactly what I wanted for our big day: 2 photographers, an engagement session, and ultimately an album of the wedding.
Once we booked A Life Built for Two, they worked with us to decide on a location for our engagement photos. We chose Longwood Gardens, which Laikyn and Bryan provided "free" entry to with their season passes to the Gardens. We had such a blast hanging out with them for the day and capturing fantastic photos! It made us so eager to have them photograph the wedding.
The day of our wedding, Bryan and Laikyn seemed to be everywhere, but only in the best way! They took stunning photos of everything throughout the day, but were also helpful in guiding us through how to put on cufflinks, drying off the flower bouquets for the bridesmaids to hold, walking us through how to cut the cake, keeping everyone on track for time, and so many other supportive, kind, and caring gestures. On top of that, they have awesome personalities and were so fun to have around!
A week after the wedding we got a sneak peek photo drop, and then sooner than they had quoted us, they informed us our final gallery was ready. We chose to do an in-person reveal of our photos at their studio, which was so much fun! It was like reliving the wedding day! We are now working with them to create our album.
I'm so so glad we chose A Life Built for Two Photography for our wedding! I can't say enough, how FANTASTIC this couple is and how much we loved loved loved working with them to capture our big day!
The photos speak for themselves, but on top of that, Bryan and Laikyn are so much more than just photographers! They were super resources, guides, and definitely friends on the journey of wedding preparation, and through the event itself.

so much stress! The day of the wedding they both went above and beyond!! They captured so many special moments throughout the day without even realizing they were there. Bryan helped steam dresses and tie ties. Their photos are stunning and they truly were so great to work with! You can tell they put their whole heart into their job.
I could not have imagined anything better than Laikyn and Bryan for our wedding. Not only did they get to know us before the day, they had a great planning tool to help with making...
sure we got all the pics we wanted. On the day of, they were there from the start until the very end of our day. As two very awkward people (and a plus-size self conscious bride!), we were SO comfortable in front of their lens. We felt like we were hanging out with friends, not two people behind cameras. Not to mention our photos are AMAZING! I can’t stop staring at them. Bryan and Laikyn were able to capture our personalities and every funny, emotional, happy, joyous moment of our day. Seriously, you couldn’t get a better photographer duo than A Life Built For Two!
Don't look any further. Bryan and Laikyn were the absolute best photographers that we could have ever booked for our special day. They helped us with absolutely everything from the...
detailed organization in the planning process, follow-ups, clear and constant communication, to everything we needed on our wedding day and then some! These two aren't just photographers, they are the wedding toolboxes you didn't know you needed! Not only did our pictures turn out absolutely stunning, they spent 11 hours with us and helped with little things like the groomsmens' boutonnieres to helping our maid of honor bustling the bride's dress minutes before our grand reception entrance! Their vision, creativity, alertness, and ability to keep everyone on track and on time was exceptional, and made for some outstanding photos that wouldn't have happened otherwise! If we could give them 51397411 stars we would! Bryan and Laikyn, we can't thank you enough!
Bryan & Laikyn are incredible! They capture the most beautiful candid shots and work hard to get to know you as a couple. We so appreciated how they are responsive, genuine, and am...

the whole process so much fun for us. They really went above and beyond what you would expect a normal photographer to do. They set multiple video calls with us throughout the planning process to talk through some ideas and visions that we had. They were able to share some of their own experiences and ideas from their planning process which greatly helped us out also. The day of the wedding, Bryan and Laikyn jumped into action and didn't miss a beat. They captured some of the most special and beautiful moments of our big day that I will always cherish and find myself constantly looking back on. I highly recommend A Life Built For Two for your wedding or any special photography needs, you will not be disappointed and will forever have beautiful and special photos that will put you back in that day when you look at them.
