Bryce was very professional, easy to deal with. He answered all of my questions and concerns in a timely manner. He is very creative with his shots! Loved everything about him. I would use him again in a heart beat!!
Bryce was awesome to work with. When I saw his work on his website, I knew he could capture all the moments and emotions on our big day. We also were fortunate enough to be married at a beautiful location, and really wanted to capture the beautiful views too. Bryce delivered and then some. Our album is so perfect and I cry happy tears every time we flip through pictures. He captured some really unique shots and we can relive the best day ever. Finally, Bryce was great to work with. Professional, timely, and great communication
I couldn't be more thrilled that Bryce was one of the photographers for our wedding in DC. He captured some amazing images that my husband and I will treasure forever. And I will forever be grateful for how he helped me solve unexpected challenges on the day itself and his incredibly professional manner!
Bryce and his staff (TJ) were phenomenal. He will go through any means to get the right shot. He had all the shot ideas I wanted from Pinterest at my venue and recreated them all with a personal touch. He travels as well, so remember him even if you are outside of NC. He was meant to do this-look no further!
Bryce was incredibly professional right from the very start - meeting with us to share his portfolio, clear communication of his services provided, and helping to execute a seamless wedding day. We were planning our wedding from out of state and he was always available to answer any questions we had as well as offering input for other vendors in the area to help pull off our dream wedding. On the day of the event he was very personable and everyone felt comfortable in his presence so he was able to capture the day perfectly as it was. We have since used Bryce to photograph our growing family, and plan to use him again this summer as we've added one more!
Bryce was not only extremely professional, but a breeze to work with which made him the perfect choice for our wedding day! His kindness extended to us even further, as on our actual wedding day we had an issue with our limo company which forced us to leave our ceremony site earlier than planned and we did not get to capture some family photos. Bryce came back 3 days after our wedding to take those pictures and did not ask for extra payment. My husband and I were blown away by his generosity as well as his incredible work. We have cherished his photos from our special day, and special week!
Bryce was an absolute professional from the minute my Husband and I met him! We were looking for someone who had experience photographing in an aquarium. He instantly put my mind at ease sending me many examples of his work both inside and outside the aquarium. We in no way felt rushed to book him and was open and quick to respond with any questions. Fast forward to our wedding, Bryce checked in the day before the wedding ensuring that he had everything he needed and all the requests from us for the wedding. Bryce and the other photographers he brought with him were incredibly professional and captured moments that I did not even realize he was seeing. He broke up his time between my Husband and I perfectly and put my mind at ease for the indoor pictures. My guests commented that they did not see him during the ceremony and rarely saw him during the reception but we had pictures of the whole night shot from beautiful angles and lighting. Our photos came very quickly and included more than we expected. We look forward to booking him in the future for other events in our life!
Where does one even begin when talking about the level of service and artistic guidance that comes with your photography package when you bring Bryce on board for your wedding.
First I must say that I did not find Bryce, my now wife did. She set up engagement photos for us with him and I could not wrap my head around why anyone would want these type of photos done, well without knowing it he showed me why and even got me into suggesting shots that, with his touch, came out amazing and made me look forward to the photos we would get on our wedding day.
We had a destination wedding and it worked out for us that Bryce was available for almost the entire trip.
Personal I do not like anything posed in traditional, boring ways and it came across to me that Bryce understood that and created such a candidly wonderful experience that there were times that I was not aware of the pictures being taken. Bryce captured moments that were so fleeting that we didn't remember them until we saw the pictures after it was a said and done.
As someone who does not like pictures of himself as a rule, Bryce got me to forget that feeling and embrace the moment and let my guard down. If I had it all to do over again I would not change a thing.
As the old adage says "you get what you pay for" and we are thrilled with what we got!
My wife and I had a wonderful experience working with Bryce. He went above and beyond! Our photo session was my wife and I in our wedding attire. We chose a country cottage just outside Asheville. A rainstorm came through the day before and threatened the day of. He was more than willing to move everything a day later. This was all three days after Christmas, mind you. Day of, he showed up twenty minutes early to scope things out. He took pictures of everything while we were late getting dressed. Well we are two people who become awkward at posing for pictures. He made things warm and as candid as possible. Easy to work with, great conversation and easy going person. Best of all was his work! He juggled two cameras and knew what he wanted to do all the way. He gladly took our suggestions and places we wanted pictures taken. We dragged him up and down a mountain side twice. He even stayed over a bit without mentioning a thing. I just can't say enough. We will be booking him again for family pictures. Thank you Bryce for our beautiful pictures that we will always cherish, and an experience we'll never forget.

We first worked with Bryce for family photos on the beach. He was wonderful and easy to work with! We were so happy with how he was able to capture our family! When my husband and I got engaged I immediately reached out to Bryce, hoping he’d travel to Baltimore for our wedding! He traveled to Baltimore and got a fantastic second shooter from DC. Bryce was easy to work with, communicated with us regularly leading up to the wedding and throughout the process. He again captured our love, our personalities, and the beauty of our venue. I will continue to work with Bryce whenever possible and highly recommend him for both family photo shoots and wedding photos!!
Bryce is WONDERFUL! Our family has used him before, for both family photos, and my now sister-in-law's wedding, so when we got engaged last fall, I knew exactly who I was calling first! He is so easy to work with, makes you feel comfortable, and the effort he puts into getting all your shots is easy to see! And he works FAST! So on hot wedding days, you won't be roasting in the heat for too long! (Both weddings he's shot for my family were incredibly hot.) Don't look any further for your wedding photographer!
Bryce was amazing to work with from the very beginning. He was responsive, professional, and enthusiastic. What I loved about working with him is that he was genuinely excited to be a part of my wedding day. He was creative and thought outside of the box. He took the time out to scope out the venue to play with the lighting and find interesting photography shots. The wedding day went by so quickly. I am so happy I chose Bryce Lafoon to capture the day. The photos are amazing and dramatic and creative. He listened listened to what my vision was and most importantly, fulfilled it. My photos are beautiful and I highly recommend choosing Bryce to capture your important day!
Bryce and Irina, his assistant for the day, photographed our wedding in Wilmington, NC. He captured some really beautiful shots and we were happy overall.
Bryce and his partner were fabulous to work with. He was there for me throughout the entire planning process leading up to the wedding. He was very organized the day of and knew exactly what shots I was wanting. He captured so many wonderful photos that we will cherish for ever. He help keep me relaxed throughout the day so that I could soak in every moment. We will definitely use him again for photos in the future.
Bryce was great to work with! Our wedding on Bald Head Island was beautifully portrayed , he did an amazing job and was very professional. He listened to what we wanted, and also made suggestions for some great photos. We received our photos in a timely manner and were unbelievably happy with them. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!
The absolute BEST. My best friend hired Bryce for her wedding and I loved her photos so much that I just had to see if he could photograph my own! His ability to capture the perfect light is unprecedented. He did a wonderful job with the engagement session, even traveled a few hours to our place of choice. He was very easy to contact and always great with planning ahead or even last minute changes. He has fantastic ideas and will help even the most camera-shy couples shine on their special day. Our final photos are phenomenal and I could not have asked for more. He also will give you a USB drive with all the photos so you aren't missing a moment!
We hired Bryce to be both our engagement and wedding photographer. All of our photos turned out better than we had imagined and Bryce was wonderful to work with! He brought an extra photographer on for our wedding day so we had multiple angles and plenty of pictures to tell the story of the day. Bryce was flexible, professional yet casual, and worked great with our crew. Check out his website if you have any doubts.
BOOK BRYCE EARLY HE BOOKS UP WAY IN ADVANCE!
P.S. He is well worth the money he asks.
If I could give more stars, I would! Deciding on a photographer was a big deal to us. Most of our wedding budget was going to that. We "interviewed" several, looked at portfolios, and had late night talks about it. From first contact (inquire by email) to phone conversation, we subconsciously knew Bryce was "our photographer". After all, photographs tell the story after all the padgentry of a wedding day is done and gone. They tell the story to people who were not there. They remind us every day what a wedding day is all about. Timeless and priceless. After we got the price list, we still didn't blink. Every penny, every dollar, every second is beyond worth it. There is a range of pricing for every person's financial background. We went hourly to suit our sunset wedding day. My husband and I were at separate locations before the wedding and his photos tell the story of what we couldn't see, to each other. What was captured that day is simply amazing and no English word could describe Bryce's gift of photography.
Bryce did an amazing job!! We didn't know Bryce before we chose him, but I knew from his portfolio that's who I wanted. I wanted someone to capture our moments and not just do the normal and posed shots. He truly captured our love for eachother and our children and we will be forever grateful to have these photos forever. I cannot recommend Bryce more. The moments he caught for us are priceless. He was very professional and sometimes I had to look around to see where he was hiding! Amazing photographer and great person!
Bryce was a fantastic photographer! Our pictures were beautiful and he captured every moment throughout the entire day!
Two very enthusiastic thumbs up! Bryce is so wonderful to work with! We had a smaller wedding but he still treated us as if we were his most important clients--and the pictures are amazing! He helped with finding the right location, to the time of day, with find a florist, and even calming my nerves now and then. He was prompt and professional, yet laid back and super friendly. He was assertive enough to make sure we got that perfect shot at sunset but cool enough that he felt like part of the family. Check out his Instagram if you're still in the fence--his pictures speak for themselves!
There is so much to love in our wedding photo album. You have captured our emotions during our trip, happiness, funny moments, and anxiety. It's wonderful that we recount our story in each photo. Also, the different lighting, colors, and angles gave us so much variety. Most the photo shoots was so easy to do because of your easy going and accommodating personality.
We are so happy we chose Bryce to shoot our wedding. We planned a destination wedding and did not have the pleasure of meeting him until the actual day of, which for some couples can be stressful. Bryce made us feel at ease in the planning stages as well as during our wedding. He was extremely responsive, timely and professional in all pre-wedding communication. He was great at suggesting poses for the portraits, as well as capturing those great candid moments in between. We received a sneak peek of our photos within several days and the rest of our photos in less than a month. They all turned out awesome, he got some great shots. We've had a hard time deciding which ones to print. He is a creative guy with a lot of talent. Highly recommend for any type or event and hope to work with him again in the future!
Bryce was more than we could have hoped for! The passion he has for his work truly shows in everything he does. The photos he took of our wedding turned out amazing. We loved his personality and how he made us feel so comfortable. I knew I had nothing to worry about having Bryce to capture our day. Thank you for everything Bryce!
If you are looking for a wedding photographer Bryce is the best and very reasonable. When we got the photos I could not believe the amazing quality and composition. We felt like we rarely saw him, but by the pictures, he was everywhere and being very tasteful about his shots. Professional, talented,creative, and sincere are how I would describe Bryce.
Bryce was an amazing photographer for our wedding. He truly captured the special feeling of the night. Our wedding was a small ceremony at grandma's backyard in Southport, NC. Bryce was there a bit earlier and ready to photograph the special moment my mom and I had before everything started. He was very talent and professional as well as very easy to talk to, which is important with all the emotions going on! Bryce had the pictures ready after a month, which I thought was really fast. The flash drive came on the mail and all pictures were there. They will make great gifts for our relatives, I am looking forward to seeing their reaction. I only have good things to talk about Bryce, and you will be very pleased working with him. And of course, at the end, you will have beautiful pictures of the most important moment of your lives!
A real talent and pleasure to work with!
We loved working with Bryce Lafoon for our engagement and wedding photos. He had done a good friend of ours wedding and we knew we wanted him for our special day as well. Bryce is very easy to work with, has a good eye for the vision he wants to capture, very professional, and just a really cool guy! Both him and his assistant were great from the beginning to the end. We felt very comfortable working with them and would use Bryce again in the future. We also love keeping up with his adventures and amazing photos on his website or social media. He comes highly recommended from us and all the people he's worked with. The awards and recognition he's received comes well deserved!
5 stars are not enough! Bryce is a one-of-a-kind photographer that is truly passionate about his job! He is an absolutely incredible photographer! We could not have asked for a better person to capture such an important time in our lives. The photos are so beautiful and everything I could have asked for and more. I have received nothing but compliments on the photos and I can't stop looking at them myself. Everything was perfect and I can't thank Bryce enough!
Of all of the vendors and choices we made during our wedding planning, Bryce would easily be my first recommendation. My family and friends are still talking about how quick and professional he was. Even one of my bridesmaids is considering having him travel to shoot her wedding. I hardly noticed him during the ceremony and somehow he managed to get amazing pictures from every angle! The group pictures were incredibly fast, but not rushed at all, allowing us to have more time celebrating and we had such a wide variety of gorgeous pictures. I loved that his packages were all inclusive and there were no watermarks or paying per photo.
If you are looking for a photographer, go with Bryce! He is fantastic! He photographed our wedding years ago and my family this past summer. He does quality work, is knowledgeable and really knows how to make you look great! I recommend him to everyone!
Bryce Lafoon Photography is amazing! We worked with Bryce and Chris. They were so nice and great to work with. The pictures they captured on our wedding day we're absolutely beautiful! Not only is the work that they do fantastic, but Bryce is very responsive which made it an easy choice to work with him. I would recommend Bryce Lafoon Photography to anyone in need of a photographer.
Bryce is an amazing photographer and was so great to work with. We were planning our wedding from afar, as we live in Chicago and got married in Holden Beach, NC and only corresponded with him through email and phone calls. He made the whole process so simple for us. He was very familiar with the house that we were getting married at and knew all the good angles and spots to capture our big day. It was so great to finally meet him in person. He and his assistant made everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera. They truly went above and beyond to make sure that they got the picture. They were climbing dunes, laying in the sand, getting splashed by the pool, anything it took to get the shot. I was even more impressed when we received a sneak peek just three days later. I almost started crying when I saw the pictures. They were absolutely breathtaking. We couldn’t be happier with our choice of going with Bryce. I would highly recommend him.
We absolutely loved working with Bryce! He was helpful and responsive every step of the way. We love all of our pictures and are so happy he was able to capture so many memories that we can cherish for a lifetime. We have received so many compliments on his work. I would recommend him to anyone!
Bryce was an absolute pleasure to work with on our wedding day. He asked for photo requests prior to the wedding to ensure any special requests were fulfilled. Granted we haven't seen the full collection of wedding pictures yet, he provided us with 8-10 sneak peek pictures within 2 days of the wedding and they were phenomenal! He does some of the best work around. I'm so glad we found him!
Choosing Bryce Lafoon to be our wedding photographer was one of the easiest choices during my entire wedding planning. He was terrific to work with, very accommodating and professional. He provided us with so many wonderful photos to choose from for both our engagement shoot and wedding day. I appreciate Bryce being flexible and willing to travel for our big day! I highly recommend Bryce for your wedding!
Bryce did my bridal portraits in Southport. He was amazing! I was super nervous when we started but he quickly put me at ease with his expertise and personality. He got some amazing shots all over my favorite little town! I highly recommend him.
We loved working with Bryce! He was very professional. He knew in advance what we wanted and came in prepared. We worked very well together and managed to take full advantage of our time. He captured some very special moments and his turnaround time with our photos was amazing. We couldn't be happier! Definitely recommend Bryce as a photographer.
Bryce was so great to work with! He was quick to respond to any questions or changes we had. It was wonderful to have a photographer who had experience with beach weddings. He really maximized our photo time and ensured we got all of the images that were important to us. Our photos turned out amazing!
Absolutely amazing photographer! Bryce is fun, spunky, detailed, and will make sure to get every shot you want & need to capture your day! We truly enjoyed our time with him during our wedding photos and was sad when it came to an end! We got our wedding photos back quickly and we loved every single shot he got! There were some shots that we didn't even see him take that were perfect! It's like he was in multiple places at once! We are so happy with our decision to trust Bryce with capturing our day!
Bryce, your passion for photography truly shines through in your work. Thank you for everything!
In love with our wedding photos! Bryce did an excellent job on capturing everything from the small details to the big moments. He was great leading up to the wedding and got our photos back to us very quickly. We will cherish these for many years to come and I am so glad that we have them as a way to look back and remember our wedding day that that flew by so quicly. I will recommend Bryce to all of our friends!
Bryce was by far the easiest person to work with. Neither my husband nor myself like to have our photos taken and he made the process seamless. His package included our engagement photos (although he does have a package that doesn't) and we thoroughly enjoyed working with him. Even on the day of the wedding he made the photography process pain free. Our guests didn't even notice him or his assistant at our reception and we got some amazing Candid shots because of it. We cannot wait to work with Bryce again as we experience more of life's "big moments".
I talked to several photographers before "meeting" (via Skype) with Bryce and then I immediately knew I wanted to book him for my wedding. All of the reviews that talk about how friendly and fun to work with he is are absolutely right, he made my husband and I feel extremely comfortable with him and he had fun ideas for photos. You can tell that he LOVES and is passionate about photography, which I really liked. We did an engagement shoot with him at the beach where he had a great recommendation for shooting location and then he traveled to Raleigh to take our downtown wedding pictures. I was a little nervous since most of his pictures were outdoor/beach pictures and our wedding and reception were inside older buildings, but there were absolutely zero issues with shooting inside and our pictures look amazing. I can't wait to get some of them printed, I'm just having trouble deciding which ones because he got so many great ones! I also really liked that I had some ideas of poses I wanted and he was very open and receptive to getting them. Bryce has given me life long, tangible memories from my wedding day and I can't thank him or recommend him to other brides enough!
Ps. His second shooter for our wedding was Jason, who was also awesome and so friendly! If you can work with the two of them together, even better!
Bryce was very easy to work with. From the initial communication, to the last shot of the night. His wedding packages were simple and to the point. The quality of his work was perfect. He blended seamlessly into the crowd, all the while getting great shots. He also took things in stride when I changed my mind a million times of where and when I wanted to take pictures. Would definitely recommend Bryce to all future brides!
Excellent photographer, great picts, supper fast next day Photo CD!
