The Perfect Day
One month ago today, my now husband and I were prepping for our wedding later that day. With only a few friends joining us, we were having a small ceremony at a qu...
aint venue, 200 miles from our home. One of our biggest challenges planning our wedding had been finding a photographer who would capture the special moments of our wedding day. One lucky day, I happened to reach out to @lanaracquelphoto and was pleasantly surprised to get an immediate response.
Not only did Lana respond to my questions, she made me feel like our small wedding was as important as any wedding she’d ever photographed. Never having met Lana prior to the day of our wedding was not a problem, as she felt like a friend the minute we started planning which wedding package suited our needs best, and what details I wanted to include in our photographs.
Wedding day came, and we were not disappointed. Lana met every expectation we had and more. She captured our personalities, our love and our joy of the moments. Our 2 friend/couples in attendance were a big part of our photos and she did an amazing job making sure our friendships were evident in the group pictures-and that everyone looked their best. It was obvious how comfortable we all were with her. Our smiles and expressions were all so natural. My friends were so complimentary of how well the photos went. Neither my husband nor I are comfortable in front of a camera, but that day, it was different. Lana made us feel so at ease-we didn’t look nervous or posed or unnatural.
It was an amazing day, with our closest friends at a beautiful venue with my favorite person, and all those sentiments were captured in our wedding photos. I am still thinking about our perfect day with fond memories, and I often pull up our sneak peek photos and just smile remembering how much fun we had that day. I can’t thank Lana enough for the thoughtful and creative way she was able to capture us so naturally in our photos. Choosing a wedding photographer is a really big decision, and Lana made that decision so easy to make. Thank you so much, Lana!

na has such genuine, kind spirit and immediately made me feel incredibly comfortable and beautiful. The photos were absolutely stunning and I was so excited to be able to gift them to my husband.
Now that we have been married a few years, I contacted Lana again and asked her if she would mind taking our gender reveal photos as we are now expecting our first little one. Again, I was blown away by her kindness, professionalism, and the quality of photos she took for us. She made me feel absolutely beautiful and comfortable and she was a joy to work with. We are so thankful to have these memories and will definitely be contacting her again if we need special moments captured in the future.
Lana was amazing, not only because she is an incredible photographer, but also for her ease to work with. She captures the moment. The joy in the laughter. The orneriness in his ex...
pressions. The happiness in a mother’s eyes. The moments of pure love and the moments of anticipation for what is ahead. She even used the natural surroundings to add a little something in a shot. She carries herself with grace and moves almost unnoticed. Her ideas were great and we purchased the shots of every one of them. They were that good! We have and always will use Lana for our future needs. It’s almost time for a new larger family portrait.
