Lindsay is your girl. I interviewed several photographers for our wedding and she was truly the best. Lindsay was amazing to work with. She did such a good job of pulling out the b...
est in both of us, especially my spouse who is more camera shy. She took full advantage of our surroundings, and I loved how she incorporated our clothing items into the shoot — it felt truly personal and not just a stock of poses! She did a perfect job of capturing both posed moments and the candid moments. The experience afterward was above and beyond as well. She was quick with edits, gave us the full shoot of 700 photos in a flash drive, a stack of prints, AND continuing access to a digital gallery. Lindsay is the GOAT, book her! (I would have shared pictures with this review, but the app was glitching)
I hired Lindsay initially for a secret photoshoot for when I proposed to my (now) wife, she even helped me plan the proposal location! So naturally, we hired her for our engagement...
photos, and wedding photos (6/20/26).
Lindsay is FANTASTIC to work with on all fronts. She's great at communicating leading up to all the events (proposal, engagement, and wedding day). She's also great to bounce ideas off; she had some fantastic suggestions and compromises for us for our different ideas). She's just a fantastic human in general, too.
My wife is a little shy meeting new people and uncomfortable with having professional pics taken, and Lindsay made her feel so comfortable that after the proposal mini-shoot she said "I really like her, doing those pics felt natural and she made it fun." which was an IMMEDIATE win for me, and I knew she would be our photographer for all our life events. You really won't regret hiring Lindsay, you get so much more than just a photographer.
Absolutely recommend!!!! Lindsay was so wonderful to work with. She not only did a PHENOMENAL job with the photos but she is warm, easy going, and energetic. She worked with us to ...
get the exact type of photos we were looking for, everyone at our wedding thought she was awesome, and she directed everyone for photos with a fun but efficient approach. The way she made our 1 year old nephew laugh for family photos is something we will never forget! She also made anyone who was not feeling photogenic feel comfortable.
We absolutely loved working with her and could not say enough good things. Lindsay is a MUST for anyone looking for a great wedding photographer.
It’s honestly hard to capture in words just how incredible Lindsay is—not only as a photographer, but as a person. From the moment we first connected with her, it was clear she did...
n’t just see her role as “taking pictures.” She understood what our day was truly about: love, connection, and community. That perspective came through in every single interaction and every single image.
When we were prioritizing our wedding budget, we knew photography would be at the very top. We decided to skip a videographer and planner and crossed our fingers that the photos would tell our story in the way we dreamed. Choosing Lindsay was without a doubt the best decision we could have made. Her talent, dedication, and passion shine through in a way that makes it clear she should never be considered “just another vendor.” She is a true artist, and worth every single penny. One of the biggest reasons we chose Lindsay was the diversity of couples she showcased in her portfolio. It meant so much to see ourselves reflected in her work, and it reassured us that she could capture the beauty, uniqueness, and authenticity of every couple’s love story.
From start to finish, Lindsay gave us everything we could have asked for and then more. She guided us through engagement photos that were stunning and full of personality, and then on our wedding day, she showed up prepared, energized, and completely present. She not only took photos—she kept the day flowing. She helped us plan the timing of the schedule, moved groups seamlessly for portraits, and brought a sense of calm and confidence that allowed us to simply enjoy being in the moment. She even connected us with other vendors, showing how much she genuinely cares about her couples’ experiences beyond just the photos.
And the photos themselves? Breathtaking. They are stunning, timeless, endearing, and true to the moment. She captured the big, emotional highlights of the day while also finding those in-between moments we didn’t even realize were happening—moments that make the memories so much richer. Our family and friends have been floored, with so many saying things like, “I never thought I could look that good in a picture” or “I can’t believe she managed to capture me actually smiling!” Lindsay has a gift for seeing people as they are and reflecting back their truest, most joyful selves.
Looking through our gallery felt like reliving the day in the most beautiful way possible. These are the images we will share with family for years to come. Lindsay didn’t just document our wedding—she became part of the story, and the photos she gave us are part of our family history now. That’s why we know we’ll be returning to her for all of our future photography needs. She isn’t just a photographer; she’s a family historian, and we couldn’t be more grateful that she was the one to capture this chapter of our lives.
Lindsay was our photographer for our recent wedding and she was a delight to work with throughout the process! Not only was she fun to get to know but she helped us think through a...
ll aspects of the day and to stay on track. From the beginning of the planning process, she was focused on getting to know us and what we wanted out of our photos. Even though we aren't used to being photographed, she put us at ease and made the whole process fun! Her photos were excellent! She captured candid moments, romantic moments, and everything in between! You are in good hands with Lindsay and can be confident that in the end, you will end up with some absolutely gorgeous photos!
I worked with Lindsay on my wedding day, and I couldn't have asked for a better photographer. I found her after doing some research online for photographers in the area, and my par...
tner and I were particularly drawn to her statements about capturing the candid and authentic moments of the day. Our wedding was small -- we held it at home with less than 30 people. While I was initially concerned that the cost of hiring her for the day would be too expensive, Lindsay provided options and worked within our budget. True to her words, she was extremely helpful in capturing the moments of the day. She provided fantastic advice leading up to the wedding and was able to coordinate photos that were both comfortable and natural. It resulted in incredible photos that we will be looking at for years to come. Without question, we plan to hire her again for other life events!
Lindsay is exactly what we were looking for when selecting a photographer to capture our special day. My husband and I did not want a traditional wedding. We are quirky in nature...
and do not like staged photography...or photography of ourselves. You can only imagine the tall order we had for Lindsay....but she completely understood us. We felt at home with her during the planning stages and on the day of the wedding. She captured the BEST candid shots of us..in our true state...and we loved it. We loved every minute of it. She also kept our bridal party and demanding family guests inline....which is a battle all on its own! 100/10 WOULD ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND HER!!
So far we just got the preview of our photos the same day as the wedding, and they are beautiful. Not only did she take our photos but she helped us plan a timeline and keep things...
moving throughout the day. She went above and beyond what we thought even tying all the boys ties, took all the pictures we asked for and added a bunch of unique beautiful shots. She made sure to make time for just me and my husband to have a moment to ourselves before returning to the chaos. I cant wait to see the rest of the pictures but even with the sneak peak we got i would recommend lindsay to anyone. Her personality matched ours so well and if anyone is undecided just take the leap you will not be disappointed. Thank you lindsay you helped make our day more memorable than we ever could have hoped for.
Absolutely incredible work! From the very early process of getting to know us first and to an extremely helpful checklist as the big day came up, her professionalism, enthusiasm, a...
nd talent were unmatched.
Everything she did was beyond what we could have hoped, you can really tell how much she cares about capturing all the best moments by doing her research, having the eye to frame it perfectly with her camera, and putting you at ease the whole time. The work beyond speaks for itself but knowing how great she is to work with really puts her on the top tier.
We thought her tagline of being a family historian was a super cute way to phrase the work she does but working more and more with her, we completely understand and agree now and want her eye and talent to capture all our family moments going forward. Super professional and wonderful to work with, highly highly recommend Lindsay and her services!

! If you’re looking for a fun, easy going photographer with great quality pictures lindsay is your lady!
I cannot recommend Lindsay Stayton Photography enough; we are so glad we found her for our wedding photography! Lindsay is personable, sweet and takes great pictures. She embraced ...
our dorky and specific ideas and encouraged them! After talking to Lindsay at a bridal show, we knew she would be the person we would be comfortable with and want her with us on our wedding planning journey. We took our engagement photos with Lindsay and they were perfect! She had great ideas for poses and locations and encouraged us to be ourselves and helped us with our ideas. She was so patience with us and gracious with her time. The planning process, which can be a long time for a wedding, was a breeze with her and she kept in contact and offered us so much during that year plus timeframe. When it came time for the wedding day, she worked on a timeline with us and helped to keep us organized. When taking pictures with our groups, she was so kind but also kept us all on track by being assertive and keeping everyone on track so we could get the best and as many shots done as we wanted to. Her background as a wedding planner really helped guide us though everything as well. The shots she takes are so clever and really captured the joyful feeling of our day. Again, her communication was great and we got our pictures back in a timely manner as promised. We definitely recommend Lindsay and would be happy to work with her again in the future!
