We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding day. Lia and her team truly went above and beyond from start to finish and made the entire experience feel...
so easy and relaxed. Nothing ever felt forced or awkward — they kept things light, fun, and never made anyone feel pressured, which helped everyone be themselves.
They captured the day so beautifully and naturally, and the photos perfectly reflect all the emotions and little moments we’ll cherish forever. Beyond their undeniable talent, they were a joy to be around and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera.
I cannot recommend Lia and Imagine Studios enough!!
Lia & Nelson, with Imagine Studios Photography, run an EXTREMELY flawless business. From the second we met with Lia via zoom I knew she was the right fit for us. She was extremely ...
organized, explained everything from details of how the day will run to pricing very thoroughly. There wasn’t one second where we were questioning or nervous about a single thing. On the day of our wedding Lia and her team showed up to both my house and my husband’s parent’s house and got right to business. They were diligent with their time and took the most flawless and thoughtful getting ready photos. My husband and I have no words for the photos we received. Every single photo captured the feelings, emotions and fun every single guest had that day. From the staged photos, which Nelson perfectly helped us pose in, to the candid photos on the dance floor, we do not have one bad thing to say. Two days after our wedding we received a short teaser video alongside 200 “teaser” photos. We were in absolute awe. We cannot wait to see the rest of the photos as well as the video that Lia and Nelson put together. We would recommend Imagine Studios Photography and Videography to anyone and everyone.
Highly recommend!!! The pictures came out STUNNING!!! They were so fun to work with on our wedding day and we are so impressed with how talented they are and how well the pictures ...
all came out!
Lia and her team at Imagine Studios did an outstanding job with our engagement and wedding photos at Land’s End in May. The entire process was incredibly organized, easy, and enjoy...
able. Sometimes, taking pictures or videos can be stressful, but Lia and her team made it a comfortable and memorable experience. Lia’s creativity and warm personality put everyone at ease, resulting in stunning photos that we will cherish for years to come. Her nephew also provided great assistance and shows much promise in photography- many of our favorite photos were shot by him! We are truly grateful for their dedication to capturing our special day. Thank you, Imagine Studios, for going above and beyond!! Imagine Studios is definitely the best choice if you are looking for extraordinary, timeless photos and a fantastic team. We have nothing but amazing things to say about our experience!
They are a recommended vendor at Flowerfield (our venue), and Lia’s extensive experience working at FF weddings sealed the deal for us. We received all 1,000 photos about 6 weeks a...
fter our wedding, and I am obsessed!
We also used Imagine Studios as our videographer.
The videographer was so sweet!!! I forgot his name, but he assisted with positioning us for the best photos. We have not received our video yet, so I cannot review the product.
I want to start off by thanking you Imagine Studios for capturing one of the most important days of our lives.
Our photographer Maria was so patient- and took her time to review ...
our plan for the day of the wedding. Lia worked with our budget and was so helpful.
Thank you for making it so memorable from the beginning of our day to the end of our reception. We are so in love with all the photos captured- we actually decided to not have a videographer due to our budget and did not feel like we were missing one because of how gorgeous everything came out.
Lia was vibrant and full of enthusiasm. It was wonderful having her and her son be part of our wedding. She captured everything that day. She was a dream to work with. I couldn't i...
magine having anyone else be our photographer that day. If you want amazing photos and a great experience, you have to use Lia at Imagine Studios.
Lia is the most amazing photographer!!! As I looked at all of my pictures from my wedding day, I liked the next one better. They were stunning. The day of my wedding was cold and m...
isty, but Lia still made the pictures outside happen. She was fast, yet detailed and absolutely perfect! She didn't miss a detail or a moment of my day. I couldn't have asked for more. She is amazing and talented!
Lia is amazing to work with. Her personality was exactly what I needed. Direct, but in a kind manner. We had a big bridal party and she kept us all in check. I gave her a pretty bi...
g shot list and she hit every single photo and then some. I’ve read so many reviews about brides biggest regret being that they missed certain pictures, but thankfully I know I got every single one that I wanted. She worked her butt off for us that day and I can’t thank her enough. So so happy that I chose Lia
The pictures speak for themselves and Lia and her team were a dream to work with. Lia did our engagement shoot and we already knew she was great at posing us and making us feel com...
fortable but the thing that sets her apart is her eye for candid shots as well. She knew our venue (Flowerfield) like the back of her hand so we have gorgeous pictures in so many different locations on the grounds. She was affordable and was an absolute pleasure to work with, so we recommend her to anyone looking for airy / natural light pictures.
I should of written this review sooner but Lia and her team is absolutely amazing! Unfortunately Covid slowed down my wedding plans and I had to postpone a year but Lia has been no...
thing short of amazing! She was moreeeeeee than accommodating and made sure she did anything she had to to make sure she was available for my new date! For now I’ll just have to stare at my GORGEOUS engagement shoot photos until our big day. The second My fiancé and I met Lia we knew we needed to hire her!
Lia and her team were the most amazing part of our wedding!! They captured every moment I could have imagined and then some! Not only were they the nicest people to work with, they...
are so amazingly talented and professional! They worked so hard to make our day as memorable as possible. She took all of our stress away by remembering all of the important moments for us. They were fast, efficient, warm-hearted and all around great people.
My favorite thing about Lia is that she cares so much about WHO you are, not just why you’re there. She captured our personalities in every picture and have given us the most perfect life-long gift. I would use them again and again and again without question! In fact, I’d probably plan my next event around her schedule to make sure she was the one capturing it!!! Book her NOW! You will not regret it!!!
Lia was amazing to work with. She was responsive, attentive, and just so talented. My husband and I have watched the photo slideshow COUNTLESS times. Everyone, and I mean everyone ...
is talking about how beautiful her work is. Guests that were there and then those who weren’t felt like they were. We are so incredibly happy with Lia. She was a godsend!
Lia and her team went above and beyond for our wedding! They were absolutely spectacular and I cannot say enough good things about them. We had an enormous wedding party and Lia wa...
s able to wrangle everyone ( kids included) to get the most amazing pictures. She made sure that she got every single shot that we had asked for and we had our highlight pictures within a week of our wedding. She was worth every single penny! We love the pictures and teaser video that we have received so far and we're so excited for our album and video! Thank you for everything <3
Lia is a super star! Due to the pandemic, our wedding plans had to change.. many times.. and Lia was always on board with each new plan. She was always responsive and easy to commu...
nicate with leading up to the wedding. On the day of the wedding, she was AMAZING. We ended up with just a small ceremony, so it was only her on site taking photographs, and she simply nailed it. She was kind, but direct and made things happen - making sure to get all the important pictures with family. We love the teaser pictures we were able to view less than a week after the wedding and can't wait for the rest of them. I can't get over how beautiful the pictures are!!! Thanks for everything, Lia.
It’s been a rough year for my husband and I. We were supposed to get married in May of this year, but our wedding was postponed due to COVID 19 like many weddings. However, what wa...
s extremely heartbreaking was that our original photographer took all our money and became extremely difficult to work with when we decided to get married in July. I thank God, I found Lia and her team from Imagine Studios. Lia, Maria, and Nelson were amazing. They really understood what we needed and went above and beyond on our wedding day. Even before our wedding date, they were in constant touch with us and made it their priority to understand what we wanted, who each family member was, and what was important to us. Lia and Maria dealt with my craziness and were always sweet, compassionate, and just wonderful. Maria will keep you laughing and smiling, Lia is so organized that you don’t have to worry about anything, and Nelson will guide you in the right direction. My husband and I are really awkward when it comes to taking pictures, but Maria knew what to do and we looked amazing. Lia, Maria, and Nelson are not only genuinely caring people but extremely talented. Their work speaks for itself. You will not go wrong by choosing them. In fact, you will gain friends who are invested in your day and will give the most amazing pictures ever. We love all our photos and can’t choose a favorite. From the bottom of my heart, I am so grateful that Imagine Studios took our wedding pictures. My husband and I have recommended them to all our friends and family, and we will use them for all our important events. I highly recommend Imagine Studios! They are absolutely wonderful!!!
I am so happy that we chose Lia and her family to photograph our wedding. They came in clutch after we cancelled with another photographer two months out from our wedding and they ...
really delivered. I didn't want anything over the top and fancy, just actually capturing our day without looking too posed or edited. Lia was so professional and got all the photos we asked for in way shorter of a time than I ever thought possible. She and Nelson also did a great job getting my baby cousin to pose for photos by promising he could feed the fish in the koi pond if he cooperated (and of course followed through afterwards). One great thing I heard from my guests too was that they barely noticed any photographers/videographers the whole night so they did an awesome job being on the sly but still getting all the pictures. We got a teaser video 2 weeks after the wedding and the full set of over 700 photos 6 weeks from the wedding. Haven't gotten our video yet but I'm sure its spectacular. You are in great hands if you go with Imagine.
My fiancé and I booked with Imagine Studios the night we met with Lia! We had been to a few others, but nothing compared to their work and the extremely reasonable price!! Lia was ...
sweet and extremely informative. Maria is our photographer and when we met her at our engagement shoot it felt like we had known her for years! She is so kind, helpful and really wants you to be comfortable in front of the camera. We got some teasers the next day and we couldn’t believe how amazing they were! Maria is SO talented and will not let you down. We are so happy and can’t wait for her to photograph our wedding in July 2020!! If you’re looking for quality photos with a genuine, kind, and professional photographer look no further!
Lia and her team came through for me when I booked her 6 weeks out from my wedding due to unforeseen circumstances. My fiancé asked every newlywed in his office who they used for ...
their wedding and I started making calls. Thankfully Lia met with us 2x and eased all my fears. She did photography and videography for our wedding at such short notice. Her, Nelson (husband), Calia (daughter) and Maria were the best. They were fun and calm even when we ran late due to the lack of air conditioning in my car (arrived at church at hot mess and required some touching up) and the lack of any power at my church! We had a great time as we did all of our fancy photos and silly photos. I can’t wait to see them work their magic. They really are a fun team and I would recommend them to any bride looking for bright and smiling photos. I can't thank them enough for being so accommodating and keeping me calm on my wedding day.
We worked directly with Lia for our wedding on 8/31/19 and cannot say enough great things about the whole Imagine Studios team! Lia is so sweet and so easy to work with and she kne...
w all the ins and outs of our venue to help keep the day running smooth! We felt so comfortable working with her at our engagement shoot as well, at a vineyard and she went out of her way to find us a sunflower field to make our shoot complete. Our wedding day teasers are incredible and cannot wait to get the full set of proof soon!!
Maria is the absolute BEST! She was super accommodating from our very first conversation throughout the entire wedding planning and actual day. We spoke several times during our e...
ngagement and she was always responsive and so helpful planning our timeline. She is incredibly talented and truly an artist with a unique eye. And not to mention a total sweetheart!! She is so easy to work with and made taking a million photos fun. Our engagement and wedding photos came out flawless. I will definitely be using Maria again in the future!
The staff of Imagine Studios is incredibly talented, patient, hard-working and accommodating. Maria got all the shots I was looking for, and then some. Her attention to detail an...
d her willingness to go the extra mile really made a difference. I highly recommend Imagine Studios for your next big event!
We worked directly with Lia. She is not only the sweetest person but she was so quick at responding whenever we had any questions. During the wedding she did such an amazing job, k...
new all the pictures that needed to be taken and didnt miss any special moments. So far the pictures she sent over as a teaser are absolutely beautiful!! we are so lucky we got to work with Lia and her daughter. they are sooo talented and cant wait to get the rest of the pictures!
We booked with imagine studios for our wedding next year. I wanted an engagement shoot in a sunflower field and Maria totally delivered. She worked with mine and my fiancé’s crazy ...
work schedules and made it happen once the sunflowers were in bloom. They are the most beautiful pictures ever. Maria and Lia are also both so sweet and easy to work with, accommodating and pleasant! Maria made the process fun and exciting. Can’t wait for the wedding!
Maria is so talented and truly passionate about what she does!! Both my sisters in law recommended Imagine Studios because they used them for their weddings and loved their picture...
s. Our photos came out spectacular! Imagine Studios also had great package pricing. Maria was a pleasure to work with. She was organized, punctual, and kept us on track throughout the day and night. We will definitely be using her for future family photo shoots.
I highly recommend Imagine Studios! Lia and her team were recommended to me through a friend and I am so happy I chose them. Highly experienced and professional team who made me fe...
el comfortable from the first consultation until the very end. I am so happy with the way she took care of me, my bridal party, family and friends. She and her team managed to capture beautiful pictures of every single important moment throughout the day of my wedding. I cannot recommend this vendor enough.
Our wedding pictures came out amazing and we couldn't be happier. Lia and her team were great to work with and captured our special day perfectly
From the moment I saw Lia’s work I knew I wanted her as our Photographer. The day of the wedding we had Lia and Maria who made the day go by effortlessly. We got married on 7/3/18...
on a very HOT and humid day. Our pictures came out beautiful! I highly recommend Lia her work speaks for itself.
Lia and her husband Nelson were the photographer and videographer at a wedding where I was in the bridal party. I knew after seeing how they worked together and the pictures/video ...
that I needed to have them for my wedding. Lia, Nelson, and team are professional, easy to work with, and listen to any requests. Even though it was a rainy day, they braved the rain with us and took gorgeous pictures outside. You couldn't even tell from the pictures it was a gloomy, rainy day! I am so happy with the work they have done! They have exceeded my expectations and beyond! Everyone who has seen our pictures can't stop commenting how beautiful they came out!
Imagine Studios did our wedding on 10/13/18 at Flowerfield and we could not be happier with them! We had Maria, Chriz, and Cesar (they all have such great energy!) from the start M...
aria was such a sweetheart during our engagement shoot and that continued to our wedding day. She was very thorough in asking ahead of time what photos we wanted and created a timeline to make it happens and to keep the day organized. They got all the photos we wanted and so much more. They truly went above and beyond for us. They were so personal and made us feel so comfortable. We got a ton of teaser photos back quickly after the wedding and they were all so beautiful. We are beyond confident that the rest of our photos and video will be just as amazing. We can’t say enough good things about Imagine studios, they are so talented and kind, thank you!!!
Lia and Maria make a great team. In the beginning of all the wedding planning, Lia quickly responded to all of our many many questions. We had Maria for our wedding, in September a...
t Insignia Steakhouse. First off, she is a total sweetheart! So pleasant to work with and talk to. We told her what we specifically wanted in advance (and what we didn't want) and she made that happen. She went above and beyond to make sure she got all the photos that we wanted to get and thought of some great ones we would have never even thought of. She has quite the talent. We highly recommend her and will use her for future events. Great job Imagine Studios! Definitely 5 stars from the Fedes and no complaints :)
Mr. & Mrs. Christopher Fede
The teaser photos we got back (see attached) speak for themselves. Lia captured our day, and love perfectly. She got every photo on my requested shot list covered, and was BY FAR ...
my favorite vendor. Lia kept us our timing for the day on track, while making sure to take the most creative pictures! Every person who has seen the teaser photos can not stop talking about how amazing they are. I have friends that are past brides that are seriously jealous, lol. Photography and video, in my opinion, are the *most* important, as they last far after the wedding day is over, and I am so thankful that I am able to look back on our beautiful day and obsess over every single photo she took. I'm typically a very picky person and I'm seriously having a hard time picking out favorite pictures from just the teasers; so I don’t know how we’re going to choose photos for our album when we get them all back! Lia’s husband was our videographer and I can’t wait to see his work too! They worked really well together and made the entire day run very smoothly. Obsessed is an understatement.
Lia and her staff are absolutely incredible. We received a preview of our pictures about a week after our wedding and received our full set of proofs about 2 months after. Our pict...
ures are absolutely perfect! They are clear, creative and captured all of the happiness of our day. Every detail was captured and Lia made sure to take all of the important pictures we requested. She made sure everything ran smoothly the day of the wedding and made sure everyone was where they needed to be. She paid such close attention to every detail and got pictures of special moments we didn’t even realize she saw. She helped us to design gorgeous thank you cards and walked us through the entire process of picking out our pictures for our albums, canvas and all the detail for our video. We cannot wait to see our album and video when they are finished.
Upon looking into photography services for my wedding, I instantly loved Imagine Studios the second I logged onto their website. Their quality of photographs was amazing and I was ...
so happy that we were able to book them for our wedding. During the wedding day, we had Lia and Maria, and another photographer. My husband, already having been in another wedding earlier in June, commented to me privately that he could not believe how professional, and how talented the photographers were. They were familiar with our venue, and where the best areas to take photographs were. They were flexible on locations, especially because it was a bit chilly that morning, and there was not a lot of sunshine. I am so excited to be able to see the photos they took. I would highly recommend Imagine Studios if you are looking for professional, kind and talented photographers.
My fiancé and I recently had our engagement shoot with Imagine Studios and we could not be happier! Maria made us feel so comfortable and took the most beautiful pictures! She has ...
great vision and her talent shows! We cannot wait for our wedding and feel confident knowing we chose Imagine Studios!
I cannot recommend Imagine Studios enough! Maria was our photographer for our June 25th wedding at Insignia - and she was fantastic! We were so comfortable with her (she did our en...
gagement photos also!) She worked so hard to make sure she captured our day perfectly and beautifully - and our pictures are proof of that! We could not be happier!
We were so happy that we chose Imagine Studios for our wedding photos and video. We immediately knew we wanted Lia after looking at some other weddings she did. The photos are stun...
ning. Lia was efficient and organized and you can tell that she and her team have lots of experience. She communicated with us before the wedding and gave us suggestions about where to take photos and different options to consider. Her team kept us in great spirits throughout all of the pre-wedding photos and made sure everyone was looking great. She was there throughout the whole night capturing every moment. We cannot wait to see our photos and video and highly recommend Imagine Studios for any special event!
We used Imagine Studios for our wedding last spring. Let me start with we like our photos and overall have enough photos from the day that we are satisfied.
However, I would not ...
agree with most of the five star reviews. I met with Lia in her home and she walked me through photos that I had already seen online. It did not seem worth either of our time to drive all the way to her home for this meeting. But our venue highly recommended them so we went with it.
Day of Maria was extremely flustered and I had to organize our family and bridal party for the photos. Maria also did not have a list of photo combinations even though I had emailed a list to her and setup a phone call with her prior to our wedding. She also did not listen to our express directions that my MIL's boyfriend was not be in the photos and my groom had to uncomfortably ask for the group to reorder.
I was not satisfied with the day of organization or the organization leading up to our wedding. Maria missed our original phone call and I had to email her and text her only to reschedule for another call. Not to mention that she never sent us a follow up email and we had to email Lia twice to find out when we would get our preview photos.
Overall the photos came out nice but the studio lacks basic organization and customer service. I would look elsewhere.
My husband and I cannot say enough about Imagine Studios! Lia and Maria photographed our wedding, and Nelson shot video footage for us. They were so great to work with and it was o...
bvious they are pros at what they do. I was very particular about the type of photos I wanted and they captured everything that I asked them to. I was nervous that we wouldn't have enough time to take pictures but they were so incredibly efficient that we got through everything with time to spare, and we were therefore able to relax a bit before the start of the ceremony.
Our wedding was on Sept 30th and we've already received our full set of pictures - beautifully edited! They captured everything from start to finish, and going through them is like reliving that perfect day. I hope to work with Imagine Studios again in the future for family portraits!
My wedding was August 27,2016 at Lands End. I just received my photos and I love them! Working with Lia, Maria and her husband was a pleasure! Lia is very talented and artistic wit...

y amazing! Maria took such natural, beautiful pictures. I already saw my proofs and started crying as soon as I looked through them. She really captured the feelings of joy in each moment. Nelson was also a pleasure to work with and I can't wait to see our video when its completely done. I absolutely loved working with Maria and Nelson and definitely highly recommend Imagine Studios!

not have asked for a better photography company! They were so personable, it felt so comfortable to be around them!
Lia and her husband, with the rest of their amazing team, helped our wedding move along without a hitch. My husband and I come from two larger families, and Lia and her team accomm...
odated every picture we asked for. We chose to forgo an engagement shoot for an extra photographer and this decision was well worth it. Maria took care of any pictures that the family wanted without the bride and groom and it made it so Lia did not have to split herself from us. Normally photographers and videographers can be annoying and in the way during a reception, by Lia and Nelson allowed everyone to have a great time while capturing our wedding in an elegant and beautiful way. If you want to have stunning pictures to remember your day, and what bride doesn't choose Imagine Studios.
I used imagine studios for my engagement photos as well as my wedding photos and video. They were awesome. They show up on time they don't get in the way and are very professional....
They are just great. It is very correct with the saying you get what you pay for. I'm so happy in the way everything turned out. The photos were good quality and you get them very quickly. I would use them again and I highly recommend them for any event.
Imagine studios was one of the recommended vendors. After looking at their website and meeting with another photographer with a negative experience, I decided to meet with Imagine....
I went to their office and looked at their photos and saw an example of their videos. I was absolutely impressed. I made some changes to what I wanted with the photos and the video. I did think they were priced a little too high, but I kept reading how the photographer was an investment and I believed that I would get a good result from them. The day of, they were organized, full of energy for the entire day. They were not in the way at all, but working as a team to get the best shot. I haven't seen the pictures yet, I should this week. But I have full confidence they will turn around a great product! I can't wait to see them!
I used Imagine Studios and I was not disappointed! Lia had some amazing shots (things I never would have thought of doing). Fair price and she will work with you in terms of what i...
