Prior to getting engaged, I had several friends to go through the wedding planning process, and naturally, I, too, had begun my homework on planning my own wedding; after all, every girl begins planning her wedding from a young age, right? Well..., as I researched vendors, location, styles, etc., I began to realize that while all of those items were essential, fun, and fabulous, when all was said and done, all that we'd have to take with us were the pictures. Thus, my quest to finding THE perfect photographer became my main focus.
Soon after getting engaged, I began narrowing in on photographers whom I wanted to contact and seek additional information, and I must admit, I'm a sucker for a good name, and the name Little Acorn Photography caught my attention early on. When I accessed the online galleries, I instantly fell in love with what I saw.
**Side not to mention -- truth be told, during planning, I was a comparative bride; everything was compared in three ways. (I compared three quotes from three separate vendors for EVERYTHING.)
With the photography, however, I had NO desire to compare or keep shopping. After contacting and meeting Jackie and Luke Lucas, I knew they were THE perfect pair for our wedding day. After all, you have to consider that aside from your family and wedding party, your photographers are the closest people to you on that day. You want the relationship to be a good one, and we had found, indeed, a very professional, personal and friendly relationship with LAP.
Throughout the planning process, LAP did an outstanding job communicating. As a teacher in a my first year of teaching and a bride planning a wedding out of town, it was imperative that I be able to reach vendors via email. Jackie and Luke were very quick when responding, always answered EVERY question, and yes, folks, I had several, and were consistently extremely helpful to provide answers, as well as, guidance.
For both engagement and bridal sessions, Jackie and Luke were very creative and worked to establish and maintain a stress free environment. They are very genuine people who truly care about their clients, and their sharp skill set to design and capture moments in the lives of others was evident during each interaction.
I am a firm believer that there is NO way I would have made it through the wedding day without this awesome LAP duo. The day of can be very hectic; emotions run high, and it's the smallest details that can be most stressful. Jackie and Luke were able to help all nerves subside, at least for this bride! They were engaging, interactive, and direct when necessary, especially when coordinating such a large wedding party for pictures.
At the end of the day, when all of the food was gone, guests had left, and so had we, I was at peace knowing that our incredibly talented photographers had captured our day, and we'd have those memories to take with us.
I feel that I could continue to write pages of positive comments about LAP, but to truly know the greatness behind LAP, you must experience them for yourself. If you are looking for an understanding, creative, affordable, and unbelievable photographer for your wedding day, seriously look no further. I assure you that you will NOT be disappointed. Jackie and Luke offer what every bride and groom needs -- a personal and professional experience that documents the perfection and meaning behind one of the most important days of a lifetime!
