Lavel Marie Photography, LLC

t will fly by all too fast. Lavel and Megan went above and beyond our expectations. Looking back at our wedding photos is a time capsule bringing us back to the bliss of our day. If you're looking for a photographer that is flexible, will hustle for you, laughs with you through the awkward photos, and captures such beautiful moments. Lavel is the best without a doubt. She's so quick to get back with you on anything you might need, we cannot express how grateful we were for her! Lavel and Megan were a blast to have, everyone still compliments us a year later on what an awesome photographer we had. :) <3

photos turned out and look forward to viewing them for years to come. The process of booking with her was very streamlined. I started by filling out an inquiry form on her website, after which we had an in person consultation to go over details. There are several different packages that work for different budgets, and she worked with us to accommodate our needs. Lavel and her team were very responsive and helpful answering all of our questions as well. The engagement session was a great way to familiarize ourselves with the process and get comfortable with Lavel. Both me and my husband are camera shy, but she made us feel so comfortable and provided just the right amount of guidance for our photos. She helped make it a truly memorable and enjoyable experience! Lastly, the quality and editing of the photos is fantastic. We love having access to our entire gallery and love her style as an artist. Highly recommend Lavel Marie Photography for all your photography needs and we would definitely book her again for future shoots!

forward, we had nothing short of an amazing experience. She is extremely responsive and was such a master at creating our wedding day timeline - which as a bride was so wonderful having one less thing to worry about! She is a great team player and collaborated with our coordinator and videographers to ensure the day went seamless. Her and her team allowed us to feel ourselves on our wedding day and created such a fun and comfortable environment for our wedding party and guests as well! My fiancé and I felt closer and more connected than before! Lavel was a dream to work with and we can’t wait to use her for all of our future photography needs!

otic but she still got all the beautiful shots! The variety she gives you in your album is incredible. She has a gift for catching lighting and creating magic. I have never been comfortable in front of a camera but somehow she makes me feel at ease. She gives you direction and helps guide you to get those natural looks. She has remained our photographer for many life events after our wedding and we'll never stop coming back to her!

e is a real professional! Could not recommend her enough!

ct and results - I cannot think of a better option for wedding photography. The best vendor choice we made!

stand out choice. You made us feel confident and at ease about having our pictures taken. They were so sweet and patient with what can only be described as a rowdy bunch!! The photos produced were like nothing we had ever seen before. So much love and happiness captured in each shot. Within days of our wedding we received a highlight reel of pictures and videos. I was seriously blown away. Not only about how fast we had received them but just how beautiful they were. Lavel Marie Photography will be our forever photographer!! Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts for capturing our wedding day so beautifully!

l comfortable, which is essential, especially for those of us who aren't natural models. She provided great direction, ensuring that we captured beautiful, candid moments. After hiring her she was communicative & easy to reach & even sent us the cutest congratulatory gift. The quality of the photos is simply stunning. Every image is gorgeous, and I was thrilled to receive over 100 sneak peek photos just a day after the wedding! It's clear she puts her heart into her work. I've also had the pleasure of using her for family and maternity photos, and each session has been exceptional. If you’re looking for a talented photographer who delivers quickly and makes the experience enjoyable, I highly recommend Lavel, hands down!

ork with, has excellent communication skills, is extremely kind, and all of our images have turned out BEAUTIFULLY. Wonderful photo quality and prompt arrival time!

ly captured all our special moments! She also got our sneak peak photos back to us within days, and the full gallery within a few weeks! We are absolutely obsessed with her work!

onal photos done I was really nervous about the shoots and she changed all that nervousness into joy instantly ! Lavel makes everything fun and gives great direction which means your photos will be beautiful, natural and genuine. She helped us with outfit styling and choosing a location that fit our vision for engagement. For our wedding, she took the time weeks before to meet at our ceremony venue to scout it out for the best shots possible. She is always in touch and super responsive with any questions or concerns. For our wedding day she helped put together a fantastic timeline that made our day of go by so smoothly. On actual wedding day she had a second shooter who was as also great and helped us get shots of everything happening before, during and after the ceremony/reception. She clearly has people working with her who exemplify the same passion for photography as she has and we were so grateful. She captured everything so beautifully and authentically and got in all the special shots we wanted (and more). We got our photo galleries back super quickly and have so many amazing memories she captured that I can’t pick a favorite! Her incredible skill and professionalism aside Lavel is an amazing person and her genuine kindness and caring nature is a huge part of what I loved about working with her. You are not just another client or another wedding on the calendar because she pours her heart into her time with you! I can’t wait to work with her more in the future as we grow our family ❤️

ful location for our ceremony out in the mountains and helped us put together a timeline for our micro wedding. She communicated very well with us as the wedding approached. She was easy to shoot with and made us feel very comfortable. Our only problem is that we have so many beautiful photos that we can't decide which ones to hang. We will definitely be using her again for our families special events and photos.

olute joy to work with. We wanted to leave a positive review to share our amazing experience and to highly recommend her services to all future brides and grooms.

We never felt like she was intruding on our private moments, yet she managed to capture every important aspect of the day flawlessly. Her professionalism and communication were top-notch.

She listened carefully to our vision for the photography, and her guidance and expertise helped us achieve the perfect shots. During the photo sessions, she made us feel comfortable and relaxed, which is a big deal for two people who aren't used to being in front of a camera. Her positive and friendly demeanor helped us feel at ease, resulting in natural and authentic photographs that we will cherish for a lifetime. The turnaround time for receiving our photos was impressively quick, and the quality of the final product exceeded our expectations.

We wholeheartedly recommend Lavel for any photography needs and assure you that you won't be disappointed! Thank you again for everything. With heartfelt gratitude, J&A

making us feel comfortable. For our engagement shoot, we had our dog, and she was very accommodating in including him. From our initial meeting to the wedding day, she communicated professionally and kindly. She was one of our favorite vendors that we booked and we are very glad we did. I highly recommend her and her team!

e. She’s also super cool and nice! The photos are amazing. We’ve had so many people compliment how beautiful the photos are. 1000/10 recommend. Can’t wait to make a scrapbook out of the pics she took!!

as abundantly clear from the beginning that Lavel has an excellent eye for arranging stunning photos, as well as a special talent for working with her subjects and bringing out everyone's best sides. I don't plan on getting married again, but if I did I would hire Lavel in a second.

rty, and families. They captured every single part of our wedding day in the most beautiful way from start to finish. We are obsessed with our photos and will treasure them forever. We could not have made a better decision when it came to choosing our wedding photographer! LMP was our first choice for our wedding, and no doubt will be our first choice for photography needs in the future! Thank you SO much!!

agement shoot and wedding day photos. Since we were from Austin and getting married in Santa Fe, we really leaned on Lavel for locations and the best places to shoot. From our engagement shoot surrounded by incredible New Mexico landscapes to our Santa Fe venue and walk through the town square every spot was magically captured. Expect to get your photos back QUICK! I was so impressed with her turn around time. There is both quantity and quality of photos. I am still swooning over ours and trust me, it's hard to pick your favorites. The end result is absolutely magazine worthy.

n I wanted to make sure that everything was captured and Lavel did just that. Lavel worked with us from the beginning helping with timelines and all the details in between and the outcome was just perfect! I would 10/10 recommended LMP to anyone looking for a photographer. Not only do the pictures speak for themselves but the relationship you build with Lavel is priceless. I can’t thank Lavel enough! She’s now apart of our family and we will continue choosing LMP in the future!

enough about how professional Lavel and Matt are and the quality of their work is outstanding!! I will treasure my photos forever and I simply cannot recommend them enough!!

g smile on her face and will make your experience memorable. She sent our wedding photos back in 24 hrs! We were shocked and they were beautiful. We would never hesitate to recommend her and her team to anyone who wants a true professional to create a customized photography experience.

e made us feel very comfortable. We had a blast taking photos with her and this made us look forward even more to our wedding day. On our wedding day, Lavel and her team kept the timeline flow going. She was my right hand and made sure all photos we wanted were taken and had enough time so we were not rushing. Lavel, went above and beyond to quickly edit some photos for us to have the following days. We truly cannot speak enough about her and her team. We will forever cherish our wedding day thanks to her team.

avel Marie Photography for our engagement photos as well. My husband and I will definitely choose Lavel Marie for our future family pictures!

nowledgeable on how to position us. The session was fun and natural, exactly how you would want your engagement shoot to go. For our wedding, Lavel was AMAZING! She helped us put together a timeline and made sure we stuck to it. We had a very large wedding party and Lavel and her team did a great job at organizing and directing us during the pictures. She also made sure my husband and I got to sneak out right before sunset to take sunset pictures, which turned out to be our all time favorite pictures of that day!! Her photos exceeded our expectations, and when we show them to our friends and family, there is genuine awe over the beauty of the photos. Lavel was so kind, flexible, and enthusiastic; we could not give her a higher recommendation to any couple for their special day. Thank you Lavel!

and just have incredible talent. We would definitely recommend to wedding couples and/or for group or family events.

was talented and knew what she was doing. She is so beyond kind and her team is as well. They all helped to make my day less stressful and helped everything to run smoothly. Everything was perfect. I could not recommend her and her team more. Beautiful photos and an unforgettable experience.

son AND she will make you feel like an absolute model! My husband's head was so big after our engagement shoot, 'She said I'm a natural' -Ben. She worked so smoothly and professionally with our videographer and wedding planner. She also stepped up in a huge way when our wedding planner got Covid a couple of days before our wedding. Lavel kept the day on track by making sure my husband and I were where we needed to be at all times and gently herding our friends and family for the photos we wanted. Everyone has just gushed over the gorgeous wedding photos and we are so happy that we have them to look back on for the rest of our lives. As I look at the photos I think, did it really look this beautiful in person or did Lavel's photos just level it up? I think it's the latter. Lavel is worth every penny! You will be so happy you booked her for your day.

just received our wedding gallery and it is nothing short of AMAZING. Her team was fantastic and they worked great together and with us, especially with the windy conditions that NM presents. I would highly recommend her to all couples looking for a fun, energetic, and very talented photographer. Thank you Lavel! We will cherish these photos for years to come.

mera but Lavel made the entire session fun and very natural. She really got to know us and was so easy to work with when we started planning wedding details. For our wedding, she helped move everything along expertly (even though our ceremony took way longer than we were expecting). Lavel and her second shooter Katherine took INCREDIBLE photos of our wedding party and our couple shots. A bonus was that we received our fully edited wedding gallery in record speed - amazing! I seriously loved our experience with Lavel and HIGHLY recommend her for your photography needs.

n a special place that was out of town. When we asked Lavel, she was more than happy to take photos in a new location that she hadn’t been before and she even took her beautiful family to assist us with our dog! Our engagement photos were flawless and she got them to us so promptly! Fast forward two years later to our wedding day, she made sure our timeline was perfect! Our wedding party was large and her and Chenoa really took the time to ensure everyone looked their best especially in the group photos! Lavel and Chenoa captured our day beautifully. Of course we were so excited to see our pictures and the morning after the wedding we woke up to some sneak peeks! They were so awesome to see immediately and we didn’t have to wait! Our wedding photos allow us relive the day over and over. They have given us the most precious memories to last a lifetime! Lavel Marie Photography is 1000% recommended.

work with and our photos are beautiful. We're not really comfortable in front of the camera, but Lavel made us feel comfortable and we got some really lovely shots. She also got us our photos back WAY faster than I expected.

, she was creative, genuine, and kind with our client. Left that wedding with a new friend! Keep killing it Lavel!

pecial. My engagement shoot was incredible and such a great way to set everything off. She is quick to give sneak peeks and gets photos to you quicker than I expected. She was so patient on our wedding day and even thought I was your typical stressed and exhausted bride she kept things organized, did the thinking for me and captured forever moments. I would use her again and again. My wedding is over but she gave me such a special gift—the ability to relive the best day of my life over and over again.

ve elopement package and it was everything I could have wanted and more! She made the day so easy and fun and every single picture came out beautiful! I’m not the most confident in front of the camera but you’d never know that from the way Lavel captures us. She has the fastest turn around time I’ve ever seen! She works so hard, always has a great attitude, and is fantastic at what she does. She will be our family photographer for as long as she’ll have us. I can’t say enough good things about her.

special moments with confidence that we would love our photos. When we received our wedding album we were blown away by how much we loved the photos. I would recommend LMP to any couple or family searching for someone to capture their love. Worth every penny of our investment and can't wait to document future milestones with LMP!

and trustworthy. She made us feel comfortable and she was easy to work work! On the day of our wedding she went above and beyond for us and our wedding party. Chenoa was quick to grab us waters and Lavel even cut our cake! Things (especially pictures) wouldn't have gone so smoothly without them. The quality of the pictures were A+. Everything was exactly what wanted and more! No doubt that choosing LMP for our photography was the best decision we made when picking our vendors. We are so happy with the pictures that we have to look back on for years to come! THANK YOU LMP!!!!

could not have chosen a more perfect photographer that was understanding and able to work with my new date after the pandemic. We were so blessed to have Lavel capture our two engagement sessions and our recent wedding!! I’m beyond grateful for Lavel, her team and her incredible work!!! Definitely will be working with her in the near future!

nt no matter what the occasion is, you’ll be happy with the results.

, responsive, and so easy to work with! For all of our sessions, we have received a sneak peek after the event, so we have photos to use even if the whole album is not yet ready! This has been so helpful in sending out holiday cards, thank you cards, etc! Not to mention that the photos are stunning!! I 100% recommend Lavel and her team to anyone looking for a great photographer!!

ed some stress. Our photos from our engagement session and wedding came out absolutely beautiful!

t session but oh my god Lavel proved me wrong. Our engagement session was so much fun and the phots came out perfect even the ones where my husband and I are just goofing around. The engagement session also gave me the confidence that Lavel and her assistants would capture every moment at our wedding and make it look beautiful! She was so organized the day of the wedding, even when we fell behind schedule she still used it to her advantage and captured the most amazing moments. I can't say it enough if you want amazing wedding photos you need to have Lavel Marie Photography as your wedding photographer!
