s thorough and Carrie called shortly after to discuss in detail my vision for my wedding. I had a rooftop wedding overlooking the Baltimore Harbor at sunset and the golden hour photos we took were of course my favorite ❤️! The level of professionalism from start to finish was superb and during the event I knew they were there but they were not obtrusive. This provided wonderful candid shots during our reception. Everything was so wonderful, I am trying to figure out what event I can plan next for them to come on shoot...thinking some family portraits. Thank you Shaun and Carrie!

to work with your specific needs. I was having so much trouble figuring out which photographers to choose at first. We went through dozens and dozens of galleries trying to pick the best ones and just couldn't narrow it down. As soon as I spoke with Carrie over the phone, my decision was made. She made me feel so relaxed and confident that they would help me to capture the wedding of my dreams! As an extremely organized person that often has trouble handing the working-out-details role to someone else, Carrie was the first person I spoke to that I had complete faith in to get the job done just as I envisioned it! Our wedding day isn't for several months, but Shawn already completed a beautiful engagement session for us, and we are absolutely in love with the results! My fiance and I both feel a little awkward trying to pose for photos, but Shawn was absolutely amazing getting us to look natural and feel more at ease in front of the camera! I can't say enough good things about LightMaster. If you can't figure out who to book, look no further!

th carrie and shawn are like no other, the amount of kindness and helpfulness goes beyond what you expect, they always get back to your emails in such a timely manner and will do everything they can to work with you, as for the pictures they are always PHENOMENAL! Shawn really works with you and guides you while shooting, he knows all the right places and how to capture all the love and the good lighting in every picture, when I first saw my engagement pictures I was in complete shock and awe with how beautiful they came out, with our package that we chose, we got to chose 10 engagement photos out of I dont remember how many and it was such a difficult decision because of how amazing each and every photo was, but of course theres always that option to buy the extras if you really needed too (which you probably would because they're just that beautiful). I cannot wait till our big day, because I know for a fact we booked with the best! Thank you Shawn and Carrie for being the best!

Carrie and Shawn at LightMaster Studios are much more than visionaries and artists--they're family! When you're searching for wedding photographers, you want to search for someone who makes magic, but you also want to search for someone who wil...

l make you and your guests feel comfortable! Carrie and Shawn at LightMaster Studios put my husband and I at ease from the start. They took the time to get to know and understand us before they shot our big day (twice), they never forced anything that didn't work, and they were as committed to our guests as we were. To give you an example, on the day of our reception, I was busting out my corniest dance moves in the middle of the floor. I turned and peeked over my right shoulder and saw Shawn grooving out too, and he was taking shots as he was working his way through the dance floor. (We will not talk about the fact that his moves were better than mine). The pictures were stunning, and they've allowed us to revisit our day through the perspective of our guests. What our guests remember, however, is how fun and nonintrusive Shawn was. You can tell when someone loves what they do, and that is the case with Carrie and Shawn--always. It's also worth noting that due to the pandemic, my husband and I had to postpone our reception. Carrie and Shawn worked with us with such grace, patience, and understanding. I never, for one moment, felt like "another business deal" to them as other vendors had made me feel. They kept frequent communication with us throughout the waiting period, and they often checked in, just to see how we were doing. It's these seemingly little touches that went a long way in terms of reassuring us. When our reception day finally came--the first people I saw at the venue were Carrie and Shawn. To be honest, I focused not on what they were doing with their cameras. Instead I focused on their genuine support and excitement for us. That truly is part of the "LightMaster Magic". It's not just about angles and clicks. It's also about compassion, energy, and thoughtfulness. That's precisely why when we received our digital image portals, we noticed right away that what filled them were much more than pictures. LightMaster Studios captured our narrative and a dream--something we will truly treasure forever.
