d natural and it felt like we were hanging out with a friend. The photos were incredible and better than we ever could have imagined. For the wedding, Clay was our lead photographer and we also worked with several other videographers and photographers from Love & Lyons. They captured every single moment and were a pleasure to work with. We couldn't have asked for a better team on our wedding day. The photo booth was a great touch and it was packed throughout the night. We can't recommend Love and Lyons enough!

ay. He wasn't just our photographer—he became a trusted partner throughout the wedding planning process. He took the time to truly get to know us as a couple, starting with our engagement photoshoot a year before the wedding. He learned our personalities, our style, and the overall vibe we wanted for our wedding weekend. Leading up to the big day, he was incredibly responsive, helping us think through everything from rain plans to photo locations and even giving us guidance on poses that would make us look our best. His preparation and attention to detail made us feel completely confident that we were in great hands. Colin also attended our venue walkthrough and was actively involved in planning during the week of the wedding. It was clear that he had done his homework and genuinely cared about making our day special. His creative eye is second to none, and he constantly found unique opportunities for beautiful and memorable photos throughout the day. One of the biggest surprises was the incredible photo booth he generously provided. It was a huge hit with our guests! The setup was professional, the photos were high quality, the backdrop was beautiful, and his team member made the entire experience seamless and fun for everyone. On the wedding day, Colin brought the perfect energy. He was funny, laid-back, and easygoing, which helped reduce so much stress and allowed us to actually relax and have fun. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and captured natural moments that never felt forced or overly posed. We also included our dog, Bagel, in our wedding photos, and Colin was amazing with him. He knew exactly how to engage him, keep his attention, and capture some of our favorite photos from the entire day. What truly sets Colin apart is how much he cares. Even after a full day of shooting, he stayed extra hours into the evening to capture additional creative photos and candid guest moments. One of our favorite examples of his dedication was when he tracked down pickleball paddles and balls so we could do a themed photoshoot with our pickleball-inspired seating chart and signage. The photos turned out absolutely adorable and became some of the most unique and memorable images from the entire wedding. It was such a thoughtful touch that perfectly reflected us as a couple. The photos themselves are stunning, but what we appreciate most is the experience Colin and his team created. They brought professionalism, creativity, enthusiasm, and genuine care to every interaction. We felt like they were just as invested in making our wedding day incredible as we were. We truly cannot say enough good things about Colin and the entire Love & Lyons Photography team. If you're looking for a photographer who is talented, creative, responsive, fun, and willing to go above and beyond in every way, stop searching and book Colin immediately. He is simply the best.

cing for such an extensive event. From the very beginning, he was personable, responsive, and always available whenever we had questions. His knowledge of Chicago is unmatched, and he brought us to some of the most beautiful and even lesser-known photo locations with stunning views of the city. Despite our huge family and a very tight photography schedule, he handled everyone with so much grace, patience, and professionalism while still capturing amazing shots. His entire team was phenomenal as well. They captured every special moment throughout the day without ever feeling intrusive or in the way. We truly could not recommend a photographer more highly. Colin absolutely crushed it, and we are beyond grateful for everything he did to make our wedding memories so special!
