Working with Lacey has been one of the sweetest parts of our entire wedding experience. From our engagement photos to our wedding day, she made every moment feel joyful, natural, a...
nd genuinely fun. We never once felt posed or forced — just completely ourselves. She has this amazing way of bringing out laughter and real emotion, and it shows in every single photo.
Lacey is truly one of the kindest and most uplifting people to be around. She’s funny, sincere, and so easy to connect with. It felt like having a friend behind the camera — someone who was just as excited for our day as we were.
Her attention to detail absolutely blew me away. It was like she could read my mind and knew exactly what I was envisioning before I even said it. Every tiny moment, every little look, every detail I hoped would be remembered — she captured it.
We will cherish these photos forever. And without a doubt, we’ll be using Lacey for every future milestone. She is THE dream photographer — talented, caring, and genuinely a joy to work with. We could not be more grateful.

I can not say enough good things about Flatland Photo. From her creativity and spontaneity to her calm demeanor and professionalism. My husband and I are not picture people, but sh...
e made us feel so comfortable allowing us to truly enjoy the moment without being self conscious! In terms of pictures one thing I loved is that she never washes you out for the sake of the look of the lighting or picture. I truly could not narrow down my favorites, so I have pictures from all our sessions with her all over the house! Booking Flatland Photo was easily the best decision I made for our wedding!

Lacey was the absolute best photographer for my husband and I during our wedding season. From engagements, to bridals and to our big day, she was incredible. Lacey made my husband ...
feel comfortable in front of the camera which made me feel at ease. Lacey was so encouraging and fun during my bridals and made me feel so beautiful taking so many photos of myself. My wedding album is something I still look at every single week because Lacey truly captured the JOY in our day. She was so fun to be around and truly just had such a flow for pictures on our big day, it didn't take away from anything else going on. I would recommend Lacey to anyone searching for a wedding photographer. She is your gal!

onal, personable and efficient. A lot of photographers that I’ve tried in the past sometimes make you feel like a burden or a time inconvenience and that couldn’t have been more opposite with lacey. She made sure that we had a good time when we were taking photos, made sure that we were comfortable AND and even made my husband enjoy taking pictures and that is something that is a very hard to do lol. Each session that we had with her was top quality and quantity with the photos they were worth the wait every single time. Each session we had were detailed and personable to my husband & i’s relationship & it made the photos even more special. The day of my wedding I had a change of plans on how I wanted to do my vows and lacey was all in. She never made me feel bad about it and encouraged me to make my day perfect and she helped to make my day perfect. Lacey also made sure to be my biggest supporter when it came to making decisions and hyped me up to be able to own what I wanted! she was extremely flexible and adaptable throughout the entire engagement season as well. All of my wedding party left the wedding being best friends with her because they had so much fun with her on the dance floor and even made after ceremony pictures fun when everyone was anxiously waiting to get back to the party. I can’t recommend flatland photography more and I will continue to sing her businesses praise!!!

Lacey/Flatland Photo is truly one of a kind. She photographed our engagements, my bridal and boudoir sessions, and our wedding, and every single experience with her was effortless,...
comfortable, and so much fun. She is just great vibes all around: organized and professional, yet easygoing and down to earth. It always feels like spending the day with a friend who happens to be insanely talented behind the camera.
Leading up to & our wedding day she was incredibly thorough, making sure we got every photo we wanted (and so many we didn’t even know we’d want. Hi sunset photos!!!). She manages to capture every emotion, every laugh, and every moment in between with such beauty, all while keeping things running smoothly. I felt so comfortable around her the entire time which makes such a difference in how natural and emotional our photos turn out.
I honestly wish we could use her for every big moment in our lives. She’s not only an amazing photographer but an even better person, and we’re so grateful to have had her capture such meaningful memories for us. 10/10 always, I could not recommend her more highly to capture your love story.

Where do I even begin?! Lacey is the absolute best! First off, we had planned our entire wedding, engagements, all the above to be in West Texas...well we changed plans and decided...
to have a small wedding in the Hill Country! When I called Lacey with a new date, new location, and ENTIRE new plan she was SO understanding and still made everything work for us!! When she flew to us for our engagement shoot, I was so nervous because we had never had professional pictures done before, but she made them extremely fun and so easy! AND they all came out absolutely stunning! Fast forward to the wedding...again she flew in for our wedding and was such a joy to be around all day. It was honestly like having a new best friend with me all day. Both of our families absolutely adored her, and she was such a calming spirit throughout the day! I felt like I could ask her to take last minute pictures that we hadn't discussed before the day, and she was totally on board for whatever we wanted! She was literally everything we could've imagined for our engagement/wedding day photographer! I feel like we've gained a lifetime friend in Lacey, and we can't wait to have her continue to capture our next big chapters in life!

She will put on your veil not matter how many times, fix your hair, help you figure out how to put on a wrap dress when you have no clue, and even pick stickers out of your wedding dress. Her photos speak for themselves, but being able to work with her is pure joy! My husband, our wedding party and families had nothing but compliments after our wedding day. She is someone we will continue to use for every life journey we want captured!

Talk about going the extra mile. I will seriously never forget that! Also, she responded very quickly over text or call to any question or concern I had. A stressed bride sure does appreciate that! I would definitely recommend Lacey Cates and Flatland Photography to all of my friends and family! Thank you Lacey! :)

ast minutes of the wedding. She communicated with me and always kept me up to date with deadlines, timelines, and other things. She researched the weather and time of sunset to ensure we could get the best photos. She was also a blast to be around. She brought all the energy and I was glad to be able to hang out with her outside of the wedding the night before.
And the pictures: Seriously magical. Gorgeous. Breathtaking. From the poses to the filters and colors- literally worth every penny and more.
Seriously- if you want a true ride or die who happens to also be an amazing photographer HIRE FLATLAND!!
