Laske was FANTASTIC! We met up with them at a wedding expo (when we weren't even engaged yet, long story) and the photographer I spoke with, Robert, made such an impression that when we did get around to getting engaged he was the first on my c...all list. Not to mention, Laske came highly recommended by every other vendor I had already hired. I was really nervous about a photographer because I knew nothing about what style or type of photos I wanted from my wedding. I met with Scott and he eased all my nerves and anxieties, telling my that I didn't have to know anything. He's been in the business for so long that him and his legion of photographers are great at doing any type of style (whether you want formal, fun, sweet, romantic, day or night) and communicating constantly with me and my fiance. That's what I wanted most, transparency and communication and he delivered! They were extremely helpful and patient when it came to getting my itinerary together because the ACTUAL day of is so scattered and abstract until you start getting everything in an actual hour by hour calendar.
Robert was there early and not just a good sport, but a LOT OF FUN! He was having a blast, he fit in perfectly with my clamoring crowd of relatives and friends and managed us all without seeming annoyed or peeved. I chose him because he is so much fun and knows exactly what he's doing even when I didn't. Even when we got a late start, groom and groomsmen got there late, it didn't even phase him. He got so many pictures of the girls and guys getting ready in different places at the winery, the ceremony pics looked natural and gorgeously lit because of the timing, and he stayed WELL AFTER he was supposed to because we were having so much fun. The send off pictures look FANTASTIC as do the dancing, plus the family photos look like we're all having a good time instead of like we're being staged for yearbook photos which was my fear. Most importantly, I got all the photos (in addition to the like 75% that had been completely edited) to do with what I wanted! I got the flashdrive, the download link, the print purchase link, everything within two weeks and was able to give that to my relatives instead of buying all of them, a HUGE distinction from a lot of photographers I spoke with.
To get to the point, HIRE LASKE! I BARELY remember my wedding day because of what a blur it was and the amount of pictures I've had to send to relatives, incorporate in thank you cards, and post all over my social media, not to mention the pictures are what help you Remember the whole frenzy of the day, should be as amazing as the day itself. Don't cheap out on the photographer, people. It'll be worth it and it will last and last in yours and everyone else's enduring memory as the thing you wanted to spend the most money on. Also, Laske is a value deal when compared to a bunch of one-man photographers I looked at. Regardless of how great your friend from college who took a photography class is, this is an occasion you will want to remember and the fun but consummate professional nature of Laske Images makes them an easy choice!
