About This Vendor
Artistically Documenting Your Love Story
Lavel Marie Photography LLC is a wedding photography company from Albuquerque, NM. The scale of your celebration doesn’t matter, as these photographers are focused on documenting the various forms of love they find, however they appear. Whether in a candid exchange or a posed, sweet, moment, they want to capture the emotional atmosphere of the day. Lavel Marie, the person behind the camera, has been a photographer for many years but has specialized in weddings for more than five years. She joins forces with Chenoa, her associate photographer, and Lara, her experienced assistant. Chenoa has over a decade of industry experience, as well as owning a photography company of her own. Lavel Marie Photography is passionate about traveling to new places and is happy to travel to weddings outside of their native state. Lavel finds inspiration in the natural world and uses her surroundings as inspiration for her art. Natural features, whether a peaceful creek or an old tree, help to direct her images as they provide something for her subjects to interact with. Lavel particularly adores using natural light, especially sunset, to add a warm, nostalgic tinge to pictures. To enhance this signature style, every image taken by Lavel Marie Photography goes through a special editing process. On booking Lavel as their wedding photographer, couples are granted a complementary engagement photoshoot. They can also add supplementary coverage, or personalized keepsakes, to one of this company’s photography packages. Every package includes an online gallery where couples can browse their pictures in their own time.

We cannot emphasize enough how amazing our wedding photos are! Lavel is a phenomenal photographer who helped us beautifully capture the joy, laughter, and love at our wedding. It was abundantly clear from the beginning that Lavel has an excelle...
nt 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.
LMP made our wedding day truly the most special day!! Not only were Lavel and Katherine so much fun to be around, they made taking photos fun and comfortable for us, our wedding party, and families. They captured every single part of our weddin...
g 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!!
Lavel did our engagement and wedding day photos. We immediately felt comfortable and at ease with Lavel. She really brings out the fun and perfectly executed our vision for our engagement 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.
Any questions?
Picking LMP to capture one of the best moments in our life was probably the best decision We could’ve made while planning our wedding! Having a destination wedding in the Caribbean I wanted to make sure that everything was captured and Lavel d...
id 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!

ith 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.

We will forever cherish our wedding day thanks to her team.

Lavel was amazing to work with on out wedding day! The pictures came out exactly as we expected! She does a wonderful job with candid shots!!
My husband and I loved working with Lavel and her team! Starting from our engagement shoot, Lavel was super sweet and easy to work with. She made us feel comfortable and was very knowledgeable on how to position us. The session was fun and natu...
ral, 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!

d'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.
My wife and I were so fortunate to have Lavel as the photographer for our wedding. From the second we met her, her positivity and love for capturing special moments was clear.
We just received our wedding gallery and it is nothing short of AM...
AZING. 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.
Lavel was a true joy to work with on our engagement and wedding photos. Starting with our engagement photos, my husband and I walked in expecting to feel awkward in front of the camera 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.
Where do I even start?! When Covid hit and our wedding had to be changed, Lavel really worked with us in changing the date multiple times. We wanted to take our engagement photos in 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.

Thank you so much for your kind words. We were so honored to be a part of your wedding. It was all worth the wait!

able 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.
I had the honor to do videography alongside Lavel's photography team and we truly left were in awe with the service she provided. Not only was she an ideal vendor to work alongside, she was creative, genuine, and kind with our client. Left that...
wedding with a new friend! Keep killing it Lavel!
Where do I begin.. from the moment I met Lavel I knew she was the one to capture our special day! She was so down to earth and fun, and really seems to care about making your day special. 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.
Lavel has been our family photographer for a few years now. She’s photographed many important milestones for our family, most recently our vow renewal. We purchased her all inclusive elopement package and it was everything I could have wanted a...
nd 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.
We had the pleasure of working with Lavel Marie Photography to capture our engagement and wedding photos. Lavel and Chenoa's talent and kindness allowed us to relax and enjoy these 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!
LMP was fabulous! If I could give them a 10 star review I would. I fell in love with Lavel from the moment we met. It was like we were old best friends. She is straight up, honest, 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!!!!
Simply the BEST!! Lavel was so wonderful to work with from day one. Her professionalism was outstanding and made me feel beautiful and confident in each session we had with her. I could not have chosen a more perfect photographer that was unde...

All I can say is call and book Lavel ASAP for your wedding! Lavel is the easiest to work with and she will make all of your visions come true! I was on the fence about an engagement session but oh my god Lavel proved me wrong. Our engagement se...
ssion 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!
I am so grateful my husband and I hired Lavel for our July 2021 elopement. She was a joy to work with leading up to, and on our wedding day. Our photos turned out STUNNING and were sent to us in a timely manner after our wedding. I could not ha...
ve dreamt of a better photographer, all around!
If I could give her 1000 Stars I would in a Heartbeat! Lavel did our engagement photos and our wedding photos. To say I am happy with her work is the understatement of the century. Our wedding photos are incredibly stunning. Since we received o...
ur album, I have not stopped swooning over them! Lavel and her team were incredibly fun to work with and had so many creative ideas the day of our wedding. We received our sneak peak within days of our wedding and our album sooner than she said. Every single picture was to die for and we have such a big selection to choose from. As far as pricing goes, when we started looking around, I felt that her pricing was reasonable and fair compared to other photographers. You will not be disappointed with the product. A few months before the wedding I reached out to her and said I wanted to do a boudoir shoot and she was totally on board! Those photos were stunning. She made me look and feel beautiful and confident. Working with her and her team was very easy, they made us feel very comfortable and they were incredibly professional. Hire her. Don't even think about it, just do it. You wont regret it.
I am so happy I went with Lavel Marie Photography for my wedding and engagement photos! Lavel and her team are awesome. Very professional and extremely nice! We are in love with the pictures we received in our sneak peak and can't wait to see t...

Even the guys loved getting photographed! Throughout the whole planning process, Lavel was responsive, reassuring, and such a pleasure to work with. Would recommend a million times over!! Thank you SO MUCH!!!
Could not have asked for a better photographer for my engagement and wedding photos. Lavel and her crew are so creative and make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She was so understanding through the pandemic and with all the cha...

Lavel shot my Master’s graduation photos back in 2020, and I was so blown away by the entire experience I was wishing for more reasons to shoot with her. Lucky for me, I ended up getting engaged a few months later and without a doubt knew I was...
going straight to Lavel.
Lavel captured my April 2021 wedding in California and was hands down the best vendor I had worked with throughout my entire planning process. Lavel is extremely talented at what she does and truly has a gift for not only capturing amazing images, but serving her clients in a way that goes above and beyond. She is detail oriented, creative, and professional from start to finish- she is the total package! Her and her team worked seamlessly throughout my wedding day, catered to every need I had, and provided my husband and I with the most amazing experience. You will be stress free knowing Lavel is capturing your wedding day and completely wowed by her talents. You can tell Lavel loves what she does, and it will show in your images. There is a reason why this woman and her team are highly sought after for weddings, engagements, and everything in between; Lavel delivers every single time. I truly cannot say enough good things about Lavel Marie Photography, and I will continue to choose her time and time again for all of my photography needs.
To work with Lavel and her team is honestly the best decision you can make when choosing a photographer to capture your special moments! Lavel has been everything we asked for and more. She went above and beyond what we expected. Of course our ...
original wedding plans were adjusted so naturally we had to have Lavel help us capture our small ceremony with our parents, and again she will be with us when we can celebrate with our family and friends in December of 2021. Lavel has a true gift when it comes to photography and poses. She is always on time, ready to shoot, and will create beautiful memories for you and your family. I also love that she will meet up ahead of time in order to scout the perfect spot to photograph. We will continue to seek out her skills throughout the milestones of our lives. My husband and I have such a beautiful album available to us that includes our engagement and wedding photos.
With all of the craziness in the world right now with Coronavirus, I am sure you can imagine the disasters and stress of wedding season. My May 30th wedding was cancelled, my original photographer couldn’t travel to where I was stuck due to tra...
vel restrictions, it was a hot mess. But at the end of the day my husband and I just wanted to have our special day no matter what. So it was quite easy... all we need was a photographer. And that was when we stumbled across Lavel. From the very beginning, my thought are just wow. She was the sweetest, most thoughtful photographer I have ever worked with. Before our elopement, she took us to several places to scope out the area for a ceremony, and offered a few more recommendations as well. We chatted over zoom a few times to make sure all the details would be perfect- Lavel did not let anything past her when it came to perfection! Now our actual photo shoot and wedding photos- literal tears of happiness fall everytime I look at them. Label and her sister made Jacob and I feel so special on our elopement. They perfectly captured our love and playful personalities in the photos. We have already printed a few to go around the house, and I know more will be coming because they are just STUNNING. So if you are on the edge about hiring Lavel or not, take this as your blessing in disguise and go with YES YES YES.
Response from the Vendor on 07/07/2020
Than you so much for the beautiful review. It was such a joy to be a part of your wedding.
Lavel
Well, where do I even begin? I met Lavel a few years ago as a fellow photographer for coffee, and the rest is history. I have unique experience working with Lavel on numerous occasions, both behind and in front of the camera. As a photographer ...
she is extremely talented, knowledgeable, and prepared before every session. She does a great job organizing and directing groups and families in a wedding setting, all while continuing to make it fun, so that everyone has a great time (which is a feat in and of itself)! Her sister and Assistant Lara, is a blast, SO fun, and helps every aspect to run seamlessly. Chenoa, is an amazing photographer as well and is such a beautiful and friendly person. The team they have is and has become a little family, that rocks the socks off of every photography session.
In front of the camera I have modeled for two styled shoots, one turned into my SURPRISE proposal!! 😱 Both times were meticulously well crafted and organized. Lavel worked with my now fiance to plan the most beautiful and perfect setup for him to pop the question... literally made my dreams come true!
Working together, Lavel is one of the kindest souls you will ever meet. She not only invests in people as clients, but she does it to build relationships. Which is something incredibly rare these days! Lavel has such creative vision and the ability to bring it to life! Additionally, Lavel is excellent at giving direction for posing which doesn't feel awkward or unnatural, something that is incredibly helpful! Her work is second to none and never fails to leave me speechless. If you've made it through reading this novel of a review, there should be no question in your mind whether or not I would recommend Lavel Marie Photography. YES, everyday and twice on Sundays (especially on Sundays 😉)

I highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding or lifestyle photographer!
