My husband and I hired House of Lubold to be our wedding photographer after many of our family members spoke so highly of them and their experiences. Working with Shanna and Mike w...
as an absolute pleasure. From the moment we did our engagement photos, we felt so comfortable and relaxed which is exactly how we wanted to feel when taking photos! The wedding day was more of the same. Shanna was so helpful with maintaining the timeline, while also keeping me calm. All of my wedding wishes and dreams came true because of them and I wish I could give them more than 5 stars! Thank you Shanna and Mike for everything!
Shanna and Mike are the absolute best, and you would be crazy not to hire them to capture your special day! It was immediately evident that they love what they do and enjoy connect...
ing with couples on a deeper level. They were thorough, thoughtful, and prompt. It shows through every single interaction we have had with them. They immediately made my husband I feel confident during our engagement photos, and that confidence carried on throughout the entire process. Shanna and Mike are funny, relatable, and just so down to earth. They made the entire photography and videography process easy and seamless. -- To top it off, their photos are stunning, authentic, and truly capture who Tom and I are as a couple. I could not recommend them more!!!
Shanna and Mike are truly two gems. They photographed my sister's wedding and I knew after that day, that I'd reach out to them for mine - and that's exactly what my husband and I ...
did! Photography/videography were the most important things to me on our wedding day, and they captured every part of our day beautifully. We instantly clicked back at my sister's wedding; our engagement photo experience with them was SO much fun, Shanna and Mike exceed our expectations from start to finish and were the easiest to work with, and what I love most about them is their ability to make everyone in your wedding party feel like they've known them for a lifetime! We will definitely be using them again for future photoshoots/life milestones.
Winning an engagement photo shoot was the best thing that ever happened for us, we knew instantly before even meeting we wanted them just by the prompt responses and friendly vibe....
Shanna and Mike are truly the most amazing photographers you could ask for! With COVID last year canceling our wedding they were so accommodating in finding a new date. They went above and beyond this past year with all our photo shoots. Doesn’t matter if you are or aren’t comfortable in front of the camera, they make you so at ease. They truly work with their hearts and I couldn’t have asked for a better team who also became our friends. Thank you for absolutely everything and we can’t wait to see the rest of our photos! <3
Shanna and Mike are the DREAM TEAM!
Having been the real life 27 dresses, I have come across working with a lot of different vendors. Photography was one of the most important th...
ings for me to ensure our special day was captured beautifully.
I immediately knew HOLP was the team I wanted! Having worked with Shanna and Mike in the past their work is absolutely beautiful and I highly recommend!
My husband and I had such a fun experience during our engagement photoshoot!The team was so professional and extremely flexible as we ended up moving our wedding date. Luckily
Our new wedding date was open because I could not see this day without them!
Our sneak peek and engagement photos were to die for! I cannot wait to see the rest of our pictures!
From the very beginning we clicked with Shanna and Mike. What I loved most is that two photographers were included and they are married which makes it a lot more personal. Shanna i...
s very upbeat and fun to work with they make smiling all day come easy! They worked with us during COVID and made everything a lot less stressful for us! We I’ll be using them in the future for our family photos!!!
Shanna and Mike are amazing! we received so many beautiful pictures with such great memories! covid couldnt stop us! we couldn't be more happier
Shana and Mike are awesome! Very pleasant to work with and they are so much fun. We were very happy with the photos from our wedding. I highly recommend.
No need to look further! Shanna and Mike will fulfill all your wedding photography expectations and more. I can not begin to say enough wonderful things about these two people. Th...
ey are a breeze to work with, both so easy going, and you will immediately have the feeling you have known them forever. I am truly in love with my photos. Their work is beautiful, romantic, and intimate. Just what I had envisioned for my big day!
SHANNA AND MIKE ARE THE BEST! We felt like we were hanging out with our two close friends the entire day. They help to make you feel so comfortable. I first met them at my cousi...
n’s wedding, I was so impressed with both of them. Not only are they both so professional, but the photos they take are beyond beautiful! My husband and I met with them for our engagement photos, it was an awesome experience! They taught us how to pose, made us laugh, and we just had an awesome day with them. The photos were returned to us in great time and there were SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM! The wedding day was the same! They made us feel so comfortable, made sure we looked awesome, and we just had an awesome day!! They are both such positive, awesome people! And their photos speak for themselves! Shanna and Mike are both amazingly talented! They have shared a few sneak peeks from our wedding day, and...WOW! We are so excited to see the final photos! I can’t recommend them enough, they are such amazing people and photographers!!!
3500 characters is far from enough to review
Shanna and Mike! A husband and wife duo who work effortlessly together. Mike is a man of few words but masters that camera to capture...
the moments you didn’t even know were happening. Shanna. What can I say?! She’s hilarious and a magician behind the camera! They felt like part of the family, as my wedding party joked, they joined in too, (sorry low knees 😏) and what about the final product you may wonder... there are no words. My husband and I will cherish these photos for the rest of our days! Every time I look at them I find a new treasure I missed from the viewing before! Choosing the Lubolds was one of the best decisions we made!
Tensions were high and tears were about to come before Shanna arrived and saved the day. I cannot thank her enough for her positive, calming, professional demeanor, and ‘we can get...
it done’ attitude. The moment she arrived, the stress and anxiety about things going wrong started melting away. Her presence lit up the room with so much love and excitement. Having an amazing wedding photographer doesn’t only get you beautiful pictures. You need a true professional to be completely on your side on your wedding day – someone who is understanding, stays calm under pressure, can take control of any situation, completely trustworthy, and super upbeat. This is the team that gets it done, going so far above our expectations and letting us start relaxing for the most beautiful wedding ever. I have never seen a professional make such a positive impact on such an important day, and it meant so much to the Bridal Party. Shanna – thank you so, so much. We truly appreciate everything. Love, one of Lynsey’s bridesmaids.
I have officiated two weddings where Shana and Mike have been the photographers. They have always been accommodating and personal, and they even uplift the other vendors at the wed...
ding. They get to know the wedding party and almost become part of it. They always go above and beyond to capture the special event and their shots are one of a kind!
HOLP captured not only our wedding but our engagement photos and wedding shower. Shanna & Mike put their heart and soul into their business and it shows in their photos. They alw...
ays exceed my expectations! Five stars & highly recommended!! Thank you HOLP!
House of Lubold always delivers amazing photos. My cousin’s wedding was no exception. My son was the ring bearer, and I must admit, I was a bit nervous that my 5-year old wouldn’t ...
be very cooperative with photos. He did great, or at least that’s what HOLP captured. The candids and posed portraits are absolutely stunning! Each photo that we get to see as a “sneak peak” is better than the previous! My cousin and his new wife are sure going to have a tough time choosing photos! The pictures are fresh, emotional, and timeless. You won’t be disappointed with HOLP!
Shanna and Mike were absolutely incredible. I haven't even received my photos yet, but the quality of the few I saw so far are outstanding. They were also super excited to take som...
e ridiculous photos with fog machines and wrestling belts, since that was a big thing for my husband. They laughed and went along with all of our craziness. Not only are the photos incredible, but Shanna made me super comfortable, eased all my concerns, and made sure I had nothing to worry about. There was a moment when I felt everything was going wrong, and I would miss some photos, but she reassured me that they would be flexible and still capture everything I wanted. She was like my personal calming coach for the day! She also made me feel even more like a princess than I already felt, which I didn't think was possible. Highly recommend both her and Mike for your wedding day. You will not be disappointed.
Shanna & Mike were such a pleasure to work with. Their modeling poses and hysterical catchy instructions made us feel extremely comfortable. My husband hates getting his picture ta...
ken but LOVES working with House of Lubold. On our wedding day, they were extremely efficient with us, our entire families, our wedding party and even our dog. We look forward to working with them many times again and your wedding day will only be improved by booking them!
We were referred to House of Lubold by friends of ours who used them for their wedding and we could not have asked for a better experience. Shanna and Mike are SO easy to work with...
. They make the whole photography process easy and FUN! Taking engagement/wedding photos can be super awkward but they made us feel comfortable and the pictures look natural. I cannot recommend them enough. I promise you will not regret working with them and you might even want to be their best friends after it's all over...we sure did!!
Shanna and Mike do an amazing job. They have photographed two of my sisters weddings, so it was natural (and necessary!) that we would use them for our wedding on August 10, 2019....
As usual they were a blast to spend time with. They showed up as we were all getting ready at the house and fit right in with the wedding party. They're fun to hang out with and truly enjoy what they do. We can't wait to see how the photos turned out, but for the samples we've seen, we know they will be plastered all over our home.
Shanna and Mike were AMAZING! I didn't even see them during the ceremony or reception, but I know they were capturing all the moments. They were so easy to follow and if we wanted ...
to do something, no hesitation from them! Also, my eyelashes started to fall off and Mike ran (nah he drove) to CVS up the street to get me glue! I can't wait to see all our pictures and can't wait to use them for future events!
Where do I even begin with this amazing team! Shanna & Mike are PERFECT. Everything was so much fun and they capture every detail you wouldn't even think of. I put a lot of DIY int...
o my wedding and they captured all of my hard work. Shanna has the best personality and is so much fun. Mike is laid back and very helpful, they are the best team and make everything so natural and comfortable. I am honestly going to miss working with them and I can't wait to have photos with them in the future. They became friends and are way more then just amazing photographers. Do yourself the favor and stop driving yourself insane looking around and book HOLP you will not regret it. My husband & I couldn't be happier with our decision. They made the busy stressful times so much easier and made sure we were in the moment enjoying our day because it passes so quickly. These photos will be displayed in our home for a lifetime and we will never forget all of the laughs and memories we made with the both of them. Love you Shanna & Mike!
Words are not enough to describe this amazing husband/wife team! We had both our engagement and wedding photos done by HOLP and we are so in love. We are trying to justify hanging ...
every one of our wedding photos because they are all beautiful. Shanna and Mike were fantastic at capturing all of our favorite moments while not making us pose for a million stuffy and cliche shots. They made us so comfortable with everything. They were professional yet still made us feel like we’ve been friends forever. Thank you for capturing all of our memories so perfectly!
When we got engaged, the one thing that my fiancé said was that he wanted to choose the photographer. He noted down to about 15 people… We met with all of them. However, we kept co...
mparing them titties to you. It was the best decision he made. Mike was literally my man of honor, and Shanna was like the best friend I needed to remember everything, and never miss a beat. I felt like they were wedding day coordinator is on top of being outstanding photographers. I’m bummed the wedding is over because they are the best and I won’t get married again. So time to have babies for family sessions.
The saying goes and its so true, the best and most important people to focus on is your photographers. Shanna and Mike are couple goals. They are fun, happy, emotive and kind. They...
capture fun, happiness, emotions and kindness in their photos. They capture love. Can't wait to have them photograph my growing fam. <3
We had an amazing experience with Shana and Mike over at House of Lubold Photography! They were extremely friendly, helpful and professional. Both have helped us every step of the ...
way and made both our engagement photo session as well as our wedding an amazing experience that we will never forget. I truly can’t thank them enough for everything! Not only did we have great photographers we gained lifelong friends! Thank you again.
It doesn't get any better than this husband wife duo! Shanna and Mike were the easiest to talk to and made us feel as if we've known them forever. They knew all the best spots to ...
take pictures, while also finding new and other creative angles to get the best photo. They know their stuff when it comes to photography and all of our photos came out beautiful. They kept us on track with time and helped carrying flowers, fluffing dresses, and fixing boutnieers. I plan to use Mike and Shanna for all of our photo needs from here on out- that's how much I enjoyed working with them and the quality of their work.
I must first admit, that this review is LONG overdue! Mike (my hubs) and myself both LOVE Shanna and Mike. They are such an incredible couple & their love for each other and photog...
raphy shines through in their images. We booked them for our wedding this past June and have already recommended them to various friends & family. We first met them on the day of our engagement shoot. Mike (my hubs) was not exactly looking forward to the shoot… he was expecting an awkward session with two strangers placing us in awkward positions. To his surprise, our experience was the complete opposite! Shanna and Mike were so friendly and instantly made us feel comfortable – from talking about our wedding to our shared Amazon shopping problems… they felt like instant friends! When we saw the engagement photos – we were in love! The wedding was no different – it was great having Shanna with the bridal party and Mike with the groomsmen. They captured some awesome moments of the two groups getting ready & helped to keep on us track for our schedule. We decided to do a “first look” and I cannot tell you how much I LOVE those images. I mean I honestly love them all, but I am super happy we did the first look! We had a fairly large wedding party & had a few large family pictures that were requested – Shanna was AWESOME at making sure everyone was gathered and posed quickly AND everyone was actually smiling, eyes opened! Throughout the whole day & night, Shanna & Mike captured SO MANY incredible moments and emotions. We actually had a wedding guest come up to us and say, “Your photographers are awesome, they are everywhere! Every time I turn around they are there.” Watching the slideshow of images on my TV was like reliving our big day all over again. So, so, so many emotions – THANK YOU HOLP, Shanna & Mike, you two are the best… NOW to come up with an excuse for another photoshoot! 😉 PS- the fact that HOLP gives you rights to download/print all images is amazing & just another reason for you to book them- DO IT!
The Lubolds are amazing and I will recommend them to everyone! I was married in 2014, when their business was on the newer side. I felt like I hit the jackpot. Through all of our p...
rewedding planning, I found them to be immediate friends. But extremely talented, professional and experienced friends!! Everyone has different taste and a different style, but if magical, artistic, nuanced, personal and documentary is your thing - you won’t be disappointed. I’ve trusted them with my wedding photos, boudoir photos and maternity photos and have never been disappointed. They’re timely and prepared. They knew when to disappear and capture moments and when to organize and take charge to get the photos we’d requested. My only complaint is I wish they could have hung out as guests longer 😉 They were a pleasure to spend the best day of my life with and left me with photos I will cherish forever.
Shanna and Mike are the BEST. It doesn't get better than these two. Not only are they super responsive, but the day of they captured every moment before we even know they were mome...
nts to be captured. Our day wouldn't have been complete without them.
I don't know where to begin with Shanna and Mike other than to simply say- we LOVED them. Their pictures are gorgeous and can speak for themselves, but what you really need to know...
is just how amazing these two are as people. It felt like we had two more friends at our wedding celebrating with us. On the day of our wedding, we were faced with torrential rains, making our outdoor pictures impossible to get- and they both calmly adapted to our new indoor setting, reassured us that everything would be great, and DELIVERED with their gorgeous photos. In addition to this, they have such an effortless way of making you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and making you genuinely smile and laugh rather than feeling awkward. I can't say enough about these two, but I can promise that if you choose them to share your day with, it won't be a decision you regret. We wish we could get married all over just so we could hang out with Shanna and Mike again!
I can't say enough how amazing Shanna and Mike were! They are a truly incredible team. They were constantly shooting, while making sure everyone was okay. Their help and direction ...
was invaluable. It felt like a good friend was taking photos, which was so comforting. Thank you so much guys! So excited to see the photos and work with you for our album.
Shanna and Mike are the absolute best. They make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Our pictures came out absolutely stunning, not to mention fast turnaround. You won'...
t be disappointed choosing House of Lubold as your wedding day photographers!
I cannot say enough positive things about Shanna and Mike. House of Lubold shot both our engagement and wedding photos. Beyond their talent and expertise; they are an incredible co...
uple to just be around! Both Shanna and Mike not only helped to manage the wedding chaos on the day of, they were supportive, encouraging, and helped all our guests to feel comfortable! Our families and friends had nothing but positive things to say surrounding their interactions with Shanna and Mike (trust me, it's a tough crowd to please). We felt completely confident in our photography team which eased our anxiety and left room for us to worry about other things!
Shanna and Mike, absolutely PHENOMENAL both professionally and personally!!!
Shanna & Mike did our engagement and wedding photos and they were great, the perfect mix of formal, candid, and artsy pics! In addition, they caught all the little details that I h...
ad put so much effort into that I didn't have time to notice during the wedding. Now I don't want to understate the photos, they were beautiful, but the real value here is Shanna on your wedding day (and the groom says the say thing about Mike). They have a way of gently guiding the whole day leaving you completely stress-free. Save yourself the trouble of talking to ten other photographers (which I did) and just book HOLP. Seriously.
I could gush about Shanna and Mike all day long- and I do...I recommend them to all newly engaged people I talk to. You can't find a better combo for the biggest day of your life: ...
they produce stunning photography, they have a wonderfully unique dynamic (Shanna has a refreshing humor, an uncanny ability to keep things in order- time, family members, other vendors, etc. and Mike couldn't be more easy-going with a calming presence you'll need on your wedding day), and they make you feel at ease and in-the-moment on the most important day of your life. Shanna and Mike are wonderful photographers and people- book them if you can!
Shanna and Mike made our day magical! They were energetic, professional, easy to work with, and made us feel so comfortable and confident on our wedding day. Shanna trucked through...
the beach and on rocks with a broken foot to capture unforgettable photos! Every time there was a moment I hoped was being captured, Shanna and Mike were already there. We just received our photos and felt like we got to relive all of the magical moments of our day. My husband and I trusted them completely and are so happy with how they worked their magic!
My daughter and her husband chose house of Lubold photography for their wedding. I felt that my review would be important because I was indeed the momzilla Who drove her daughter...
crazy. I was so pleased that Shaina kept me calm and at ease, and Mike was an absolute delight. He even tied my husband's bowtie! I can't wait for my sons to get married.
We can't say enough good things about Shanna & Mike of HOLP! They were recommended by a friend, and we're SOOOOO glad we decided to go with them. Although we had our initial meetin...
g via Skype because of our schedules, Shanna made us feel completely comfortable. This then translated to making us feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera during our engagement session and on our wedding day.
Shanna & Mike are absolutely fantastic, and I'm also pretty sure that they're part ninja. Most of the time on our wedding day we had no idea that they were capturing photos. When we went through our photos we were in absolute awe of the moments that they captured. They truly have a fantastic dynamic and are really good at what they do. We'd recommend them to anyone who's looking for a great team that will produce great photos.
Thank you for capturing our day so perfectly!
HOLP was the photographer for my best friends wedding whom I was a bridesmaid for. They are unbelievable . The comfort level we had with them was like having lifelong friends photo...
graphing us. The wedding party was compiled of best friends of the couple who all happen to be couples as well . Having Shanna and Mike there was like having another set of best friends at the wedding. The photos were amazing!!! No matter how a bridesmaid felt about hair, makeup, dress etc, she made us all look phenomenal. As a hair salon owner I've recommended HOLP to many of my brides without a second thought. I just always warn everyone that they will walk away with a great relationship with this couple. Their work speaks for itself. And they're personality's will be a lifetime of memories along with the photos they take . A million star review !!!!
My husband and I were married 9/9 and can't say enough good things about Shanna and Mike! We used our engagement pictures for the save the dates and shower invites and everyone com...
mented on much they loved the photos. The wedding pictures exceeded our expectations, and we can't wait to order our album! Even more important to us was how fun and organized Shanna and Mike are, they made sure everything went smoothly and always kept us laughing!! We highly recommend them to anyone looking
I am an anti-bride, or so says my planner. Our wedding was very relaxed, even keeled. I was happiest with Shanna and Mike's ability to keep us calm and capture all the moments. Sha...
nna's super energetic and personable. She made a big fan of my grandfather and little brother alike. We all had a great time and you can see that in my photos.
As I come up on our one year wedding anniversary. I decided it would only be best to ask the Lubold’s to capture another milestone. From the first time WE met Shanna for some froze...
n yogurt at Froyo world there was no doubt in booking her. From day one she answered my entire crazy requests, never shot down any of my ideas, and was ready to rock and roll with whatever I threw at her. (I am a bit of a control freak). Our engagement photos were at Harkness Park in CT. The Lubold’s met us and let’s just say we became friends instantly. Our personalities clicked. I felt a mirror image to Shanna – big personality, loud, and funny. While her husband is similar to my husband, a little quiet, go with the flow, and surprises you with their funny comments. Our engagement photos were so fun and spontaneous! I could not wait for the wedding to work with them again. I booked a Boudoir session for a surprise to my husband. No one makes you feel more comfortable in your own skin then Shanna. With a little Beyoncé and her singing and dancing, I got right into the groove. As the wedding came, I was nervous of it being in October and making sure I got enough photos before sunset. Shanna and Mike you really out did yourselves. To the details of getting ready, our first look, ceremony, and capturing the sweat happening on the dance floor. The Lubold’s become part of your bridal party and really know how to join fun and still work professional. You guys did not miss a step or beat and I have the most beautiful memories because of you both. Mike and I are so happy we met you both and have become true friends. We look forward to all the Milestones to come and to share with you. We have full confidence in your work and any couple will be lucky to have you be part of their day! Look no further the Lubold’s are the BEST!
PS Brides. Shanna loves Pitbull. Make sure you throw her in a song to dance too.
Love, The Carreiros AKA “The meatballs”
When I first met Shanna and Mike, I was sure that we were going to be life long friends. They have a personality balance that keeps you calm, but also laughing. They singlehandedly...
made our wedding day feel stress-free. Mike was a pro at fixing a broken boutinneire/flower thing and Shanna sewed up my bustle when it broke! We were nervous after booking them and reading a bad review, but Shanna and Mike took the time to meet with us, go over our plan and reassure me that everything was going to be perfect. They were right and my wedding images speak for themselves. I have never, IN MY LIFE, seen pictures like mine. They tell a story, they look right off the pages of a magazine, the were from start to finish perfect. I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't want to book them.
They're talented. They're so very in love. They're Mr. and Mrs. MacGuyver. Not that I want to get married again, because it was stressful, but I'd love for everyone I know to use HOLP because seriously they are the best.
Where do I even start??? My pictures were probably the most important thing about my wedding to me (besides my dress of course) Shanna and Mike are absolutely AMAZING!!!! not only ...
are they crazy talented but they are the best to work with! They make you feel super relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera and they are so much fun! They do a great job capturing lots of pictures in a timely manner so you can still enjoy cocktail hour with your guests. One of the huge benefits to having this husband/wife duo photograph your wedding, is the fact that Shanna can get pictures of the ladies getting ready while Mike can get pictures of the men! loved that! I didnt give them any specific shots or poses I wanted because I fully trust their skills, and was NOT disappointed! My pictures came out so beautiful, I cant even count how many people told me they were some of the best they'd seen, magazine material even! Every time I see other wedding pictures from other photographers, I cant help but think that Im SO happy to have gone with HOLP, because while other photographers are good and all...they aren't nearly as good as Shanna and Mike!!
Shanna and Mike were an absolute pleasure to work with and we are thrilled with the memories that they have saved for us! We were looking for wedding photography that was romantic ...
and showcased the sunlight and soft colors at our spring wedding; HOLP was just want we were searching for. We wanted a blend of traditional photography with some modern photojournalism, and our photos were exactly that. HOLP was within our price range and it was such a bonus to have two photographers to capture our day. Shanna and Mike instantly made us feel comfortable and and were so easy to work with! Before our wedding day they ran through the schedule of the day for us so we could be sure they took the photos that we definitely wanted; but they were also creative the day of taking advantage of unexpectedly beautiful shots! We had a Catholic ceremony and they were very respectful of our priest and church; they also were remarkably efficient getting the family portraits that we wanted of our very large and loud family! We are so in love with our photos and can't stop looking at them. The captured so many moments that we never saw ourselves. We feel so lucky to have worked with such fun, professional, and genuine people. We highly recommend HOLP!!
I am very happy that we hired Shanna & Mike to shoot our wedding. For the package price you get so much including a comp engagement session and the rights to the images, 8 hours, a...
nd 2 photographers, and they make everything super easy with being able to fill out your questionnaires online and pay online, which just makes things EASY! My husband and I probably had a slight advantage since they also shot my brother in law's wedding last year, so we got to see how they worked before our wedding which was more of an added bonus for us! Shanna & Mike are true professionals and I really wasn't worried about a thing. They showed up early on the wedding day and were on schedule the entire night. Every special request for a photo that we had was taken which I was so happy about. We also got through the family photos quickly which was great because my husband has a very large family so it was great to get through those formalities so they could enjoy cocktail hour! Shanna & Mike are really great to work with- they make you feel like family and have the best personality, so we felt really comfortable the whole time while posing etc. I got my photos back exactly a month after our wedding date which was awesome! We definitely received a ton (over 1000) images back so I am very happy there are so many great options we have for framing/gifting/putting in albums. I loved seeing all the detail shots and seeing the creativity there, as well as the more traditional family shots (which I might add- not a single squint or non-smile in all 20+ of us!!) Overall they are a very fun couple that made us feel so comfortable the entire time. We had so many people that came up to us saying how great they were! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a good mix of photos that are a great combination of traditional, creative, and artsy.
We cannot recommend Shanna and Mike at HOLP.
For our 4th of July wedding in Cape Cod we wanted a photojournalistic style of photography and we were on a budget. We searched arou...
nd and HOLP seemed the perfect balance of bright, artistic images at a competitive cost. Even better, they are a team so our chances for amazing images doubled.
While Shanna and Mike are nice people – this review is for their photographs and unfortunately they fell flat. It’s no secret that Shanna and Mike are new photographers - this comes out in their photos – they really struggled with using light, framing images and capturing emotion. I cried when we received our batch of images. My family saw them and said they were ok- and I’m sure they were being polite. A coworker said that she heard the wedding was so much fun, but the photos didn’t seem to reflect that – that hurt too. You trust a wedding photographer with capturing your special day and when that trust is broken it is heartbreaking.
I was truly baffled about some of the photo choices. For example, the photos of my bridesmaids and mothers getting ready were not flattering- bad angles, dim lighting. There is not one great photo of my dress – the images are dull, borderline dark, framed really strangely. It seems Shanna struggled with using inside lighting and how to position the dress. We also requested many images of our guests and their emotions. While we received many images of guests, they are often of people making strange faces, awkwardly posing, etc. In another instance, our guests were playing bocce on the lawn. Shanna and Mike did not get a wide image of the game, instead they took individual photos of a couple people in the game (basically, they completely missed the idea of an establishing shot). The cake photo- forget it. We don’t have a nice one. I feel like their approach to event photography is snapping tons of photos and hoping some work. I would have preferred a professional eye that curated a story with beautiful and emotional imagery.
Another problem was with the formal portraits. When I spoke with Shanna and Mike, they told me that they even make formal family photos more interesting- they don’t just have everyone stand in the same spot and rotate family members in and out. Well, that’s exactly what they did! We have many photos of different family members on the same set of steps (or on one space in front of a bush) with every photo taken at the exact same angle. All very boring. My favorite photo of the entire day was when we came off from the steps and we personally requested a shot from a different angle. It looked so much better! Shanna and Mike didn’t really bring people out of their shells or create a special moment– this is important skill they are still developing. (Note: they did have our wedding party jump in the air - cheesy, not creative.)
We wrote an email to Shanna and Mike expressing what is said here and showing examples of images “advertised” on their website and what was delivered. They re-edited a set of photos of our choosing and put them into a book. We actually gave them iPhone images from our friends' personal phones to incorporate because these amateur photos were just better.
If you hire HOLP for your wedding there will be no issue of quantity- the issue will be quality. You will be leaving your images to chance. In hindsight I would have paid more for an experienced photographer and avoided disappointment.
There are no words to describe just how amazing Shanna and Mike of the House of Lubold Photography were on our wedding day. They are extremely professional, fun, and creative. We c...
ould not imagine having anyone else to capture our day. They have such a wonderful way of making you feel at ease in front of the camera that it wasn't awkward at all. Even down to the most simple things, we could count of them. For example, Mike was there to come grab my husband's collar stays that he had forgotten from my room down the hall. While Shanna was there to calm my pre-bridal jitters. We weren't the only ones who noticed just how great this wonderful duo is. We got compliments at the wedding and afterwards from many guests about our photographers. Lastly, because I could gush all day, they both have an artistic eye for the perfect shot. We cannot wait to see how our pictures came out! The House of Lubold Photography come highly recommended!
Once I booked my venue the next thing I wanted to check off the list was a photographer. After asking for recommendations I reached out to several different photographers. Shanna r...
esponded immediately and within no time we set up a time to meet. In the first 2 minutes of sitting with Mike and Shanna I knew we were going to hire them. They had a beautiful portfolio but more importantly they made us feel comfortable instantly. The best way to describe them is the dynamic duo. Miss Shanna was outgoing and bubbly and someone I knew I wanted there on my wedding day. Mike was more laid back a little soft spoken which was a perfect fit because my husband has never been a fan of cameras in his face. Through the whole planning process She was very responsive and a few times just checked In and asked how the planning was going. On the wedding day thet were nothing short of amazing.I never realized exactly how important a wedding photographer was until the day after my wedding when everything was a blur. As soon as Shanna started posting pictures I instantly remembered that moment and everything about it. House of Lubold has given us hundreds of amazing images with memories that will last a lifetime.I will always recommend them and would definitely hire them again even if it was just to hang out :) Needless to say these two are super talented and genuine, nice people.
As someone who has always loved photography, I was being especially picky when looking for our wedding photographer. I was a DIY bride, but the only thing I refused to settle on wa...
s a photographer. When I was introduced to House of Lubold by a friend of mine, I immediately fell in love with their style. I set up an appointment, and with-in the first five minutes into it, I knew Shanna & Mike had to be our photographers. We did our engagement session, and had so much fun. Shanna and Mike are so patient and guide you with poses to ensure you the greatest pics. They made us feel so comfortable, it was as if we had known them for years. We fell in love with all of our pictures and couldn't wait until the wedding day. The day came and again, it was like Shanna and Mike were a part of our family. After minutes of meeting my large bridal party, Shanna was already referring to them by name. They made us feel so comfortable and had us laughing the whole day. Everyone in my bridal party along with so many of my friends and family all agreed how great they were. They were always there to capture the shot. Then the day come that we got to see our pictures, and they are beyond amazing!! My husband and I couldn't be happier. Every moment that made our day so special was captured. We would recommend House of Lubold Photography to everyone!! These are pictures we will cherish forever and we will certainly be going to them for all of our photography needs!!
