Ever since I can remember, I've always been drawn to the art of capturing moments. The simple act of pressing a button, freezing time, and immortalizing a fleeting instance is something that has always fascinated me. I am Ron, a man of simple pleasures, and photography is my passion. It began as a hobby, a mere pastime that I indulged in during my spare hours. But as time passed, it became an integral part of my existence, something that defined who I was, and who I wanted to be, and now I'm doing what I was born to do- I Capture Memories! I've been blessed to share my life with my beautiful wife for 33 blissful years. Together, we've raised two extraordinary boys, Samuel Andrew and Gabriel Seth, who have been my greatest inspirations. Samuel was born prematurely at 25 weeks, weighing only 1 pound 7 ounces. He was given a mere 3% chance of survival. Despite the odds, he fought his way through, and today, he is a 24-year-old computer whiz with an Associate's degree from HCC. Our younger son, Gabriel, was born with a rare blood disorder that affects only 3% of the world's population. His journey has been equally challenging and inspiring. Today, he is a 20-year-old college sophomore at STCC, making us proud every single day. As a father, I've understood the importance of documenting life's precious moments. During the early years of my sons' lives, when they spent countless hours in the NICU at Baystate Medical Center, my camera was my constant companion. I took hundreds of photographs, capturing every triumph and setback, every smile and tear. Those pictures tell a story of resilience, love, and hope - a narrative that is close to my heart. Photography has not just remained a personal passion, but has also become my professional pursuit. From weddings, families, high school seniors, to headshots and maternity shoots, my camera has allowed me to be a part of countless stories.

My husband and I loved working with Ron through the whole process. Ron shot our engagement photos and our wedding. He went out of his way to make sure our wedding day was special. Ron even took the groomsmen flowers from the hotel to the venue for us because the florist didn’t listen to our instructions. Ron was super supportive and his teammate Nelson was just as fantastic!
We received our photos and we are very impressed. He does not disappoint!!!!

As the mother of the bride I can tell you that hiring an amazing photographer should be one of your top priorities. If you are lucky enough to have Ron as your photographer then you have done just that. Ron is superior to all others. He brings kindness, attention to every detail, and enthusiasm that lasts till the very end of the night. Ron is a professional in every way. Ron loves what he does and this shows through to his pictures. Ron thank you for everything you did for my family. We are so grateful we had you to photograph this incredible moment! All the best to you!
Sincerely,
The Chmyzinski & Levin Family.

Simply put, Ron is an amazing photographer! We were looking for a photographer who could capture our wedding day in a way that included all of our family and friends, and took extra special time with us a couple. It was obvious that Ron was the only choice. From the time we first spoke with him, he was professional, always quick to respond, and very thorough in making sure we knew exactly what to expect.
On the day of our wedding, he did that and so much more. His ability to work with us, our wedding party and our officiant was amazing. Ron made our day his number one priority, making sure to capture all of the special moments prior to the ceremony, during and after. He was extremely flexible, checking in with us to ensure that everyone was included. We received more compliments from our guests, and even was asked to send his information for a couple who is getting married next May.
Ron’s vision of location for the memorable pictures is incredible. He knew all of the special places to take amazing photos. We were very surprised at how quickly he sent us our online photo gallery. The experience on our wedding day was matched by the quality of the photos – just breathtaking. He really does tell a story with his work. We will be calling on Ron in the future, and highly recommend Lemelin Photography for any of your photographic needs!

My finance and I recently had our first engagement photo shoot with Ron and his Lovely Wife. I can truly say it was a really good experience. In the 11 years we have been together we have never been professionally photographed. I was concern it was going to feel awkward and embarrassing but it was a great experience. Ron was very professional, nice, caring and detail oriented. He asked about my planning process for the wedding and gave wedding information for the questions we did have. We loved the experience so much we booked a second engagement session with him this fall. I truly cannot wait for him to capture our big day next year!!

My husband and I had Lemelin Photography photograph our wedding. Ron was amazing to work with! From the moment he walked in on our wedding day, he was professional, organized, and made sure to know the names of everyone in the wedding party (which was so helpful when looking to gather everyone). He was so energetic and made the day such a breeze. Ron communicated so well leading up to the day and on our wedding day with what was going on, when we had something to do (cake cutting, dances, bouquet toss, etc.). You can tell he loves what he does! We will definetly be using Lemelin Photography in the future!

I have been putting off this review because I have so much to say about Ron and his team. From the day we met him at the bridal expo, we knew he was our photographer: full of life and light that we knew would translate into amazing wedding pictures. His positivity and expertise was so comforting not only on the day of the wedding but also during phone calls/engagement shoots/emails/ texts prior to the big day. We loved that he was very knowledgeable about our venue and knew all of the “secret” spots to take amazing photos. He even coordinated between my husband and in the morning of the wedding, running gifts to each other and making sure everything ran as smoothly as possible. He truly went above and beyond his duties and was such a pleasure to work with. All of our family members and friends commented on how kind and efficient he was, not to mention the photos are breathtaking. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts Ron & team, for capturing our most special day forever and ever.

Easily the best experience with a photographer to date! Ron is super personable and very talented at his craft. He made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the experience. Ron was energetic, engaging, and a lot of fun! Our wedding party and family loved having him and his 2nd photographer join us during our special day. Also, I can’t say enough about how professional Ron is and the quality of work that he provides. He eased all my worries and ensured there was communication throughout our wedding day. Great photographer to work with and HIGHLY recommend.

Ron was the perfect fit for our wedding from the start. He was incredibly detailed, authentic, and responsive to all of our questions and needs. He spent time getting to know us and what we wanted for our wedding. He was so personable which made it even easier to work with him. My wedding party even commented, numerous times, about how amazing he was from remembering everyone's name so quickly to his sense of humor and ability to make everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. He really captured our dream wedding perfectly.

Ron was outstanding from the very first phone call. He came highly recommended by a good friend, and did not disappoint. One of my tasks as future husband was to hire a photographer, which in my eyes is probably the most important (other than food). This is the one person that will be responsible to capture every moment of one of the biggest days of my life, and he did just that. Ron was so easy to work with, and was even able to make my camera shy fiancé feel very comfortable with every picture. He went above and beyond on our engagement photos, which set the bar for the wedding. Once the big day arrived, he showed up early and got right to work. Even after meeting a lot of people for the first time, he treated us like we were lifelong friends. He took more pictures than I can count, and half the time I didn't even know he was there. He assisted in any way he could even if it wasnt picture related, which if youre anything like me your head is spinning so much that day that you'll take any help you can get. Ron is an artist with that camera. His work is phenomenal, and it's obvious that he loves what he does. Can't thank you enough Ron!

If you've stumbled across this review I hope by the end of it you look no further for finding a photographer for all of your photography needs. This review is specifically for our engagement photos we did back in April and although this review is a little delayed trust me it is worth the read. First off Ron is one of the most selfless people we've ever met. I had first met Ron back in 2017 when I was a bridesmaid in one of my friends weddings. At this point I wasn't engaged or even thinking about wedding planning but I knew that one day Ron would be my wedding photographer. I remember the day after I got engaged I messaged Ron on Facebook and was like "I want you to be our photographer, what does your 2022 schedule look like?". We were so fortunate that the wedding date we picked Ron was available but for more information on him as a photographer on our wedding day can be found in a later review.
For our engagement photos Ron went above and beyond. He made us feel so comfortable around the camera and made sure he captured our love in every photo. He has a way about him and his work that literally you can feel the love and emotion shine through every shot he takes. Truly an incredible and talented artist and also has an eye to make even something so simple like a plain wall look beyond perfect in the final shot.
I've seen the work he's done throughout the years and when I tell people he's our photographer we've heard nothing but positive reviews and feedback. He's accommodating, creative, skilled, but most of all just a pleasure to work with. He'll make you look and feel like a million bucks and capture the big moments, but also the little ones too. There is no detail forgotten in his work and he is so passionate with what he does. I would recommend Ron and his crew over and over again and I cannot wait to work with him in the future.

Ron is AMAZING! Not only are his pictures incredible, but we loved having him a part of our day. He kept everyone on track but was never pushy. He understood what we wanted out of the day and made sure we got all of the shots but also maximized our time celebrating/with our guests. His personality was so calming and he had everything covered. All of my wedding party and even my guests are continuing to compliment him still on how awesome he is! They all loved working with him and having him there. I can’t say enough good things! Highly recommend!

Ron is nothing short of amazing! We had to reschedule due to COVID and he was extremely flexible and responsive. He checked in with us during the year to make sure everything was still moving forward accordingly. During the day of our weddingf he kept everything on track while still doing his job flawlessly. He checked in with us to make sure we didn't need anything throughout our reception. All in all Ron is the guy for the job!! He makes your day his day and you feel completely at ease all while still capturing the moments.

With covid we had to reschedule our wedding 3 times. Ron was so amazing through it all and was so willing to keep letting us postpone. We ended up doing just wedding photos which turned out amazing! He got them back super fast and over the last 3 years has been so quick to respond to any calls or texts. I would use him again in a heartbeat. His is always in such a happy mood you can't help but smile, especially helpful with my toddler.

We cannot not say enough nice things about Ron, honestly. He was so wonderful to work with and immediately set our minds at ease. He was super easy going and easy to talk to. He had great suggestions/ideas for our engagement photos, since we were kind of unsure what to do. We feel lucky to have found him on theknot. We cannot wait to see what he does for us on our wedding day!

My husband and I can't say enough good things about Ron and Lemelin Photography. We hired Ron to capture our wedding day back in the fall of 2018 for our 2020 summer wedding. It was the easiest decision we made when selecting all our wedding vendors.
Ron is extremely professional and such a pleasure to work with. He went out of his way to make wedding planning during the pandemic a little less stressful and when we decided to postpone out 2020 wedding to August 2021, he was there to help us make the best decision for us. He even captured our "minimony" as we ended up getting married on our original date. The photos came out AMAZING.
We just had our wedding celebration over the weekend (8.8.2021) and once again, Ron went above and beyond to make sure the day we waited so long for went off without a hitch. He kept the day's schedule on track, found other vendors when we needed them, worked seamlessly with our videographer and was just all around so helpful and professional all day long.
Not only is he our preferred photographer, but he has become a friend. Our friends and family raved about him after the wedding. We would highly recommend Ron and Lemelin Photography for anyone looking for a photographer for any occasion!

My husband and I can’t say enough good things about Ron and Lemelin Photography. From the TWO engagement shoots (he wanted to ensure we were 100% happy with our photos which meant we shot at two different locations to try out some options) to the covid minimony just this month, Ron goes above and beyond for his couples. Ron and I met at a local bridal show and it took all of 5 min chatting for us to both know we wanted to work together. Ron is super outgoing, passionate about his job, and really wants his couples to love the final product so he works hard. When we had to make the difficult choice to postpone our August 2020 wedding to 2021, Ron was there to talk us through the options, checked in via text, and was just all around great during a really tough time. We can’t wait to get our minimony photos back and can’t wait for the postponed big event in 2021.
