I really love creating photographs! As a professional photographer since 2011 (eek!), my pictures are bright and happy and are meant to hit you in the feels. But most of all? They're a total party!
My goal as a wedding photographer in Northwest Arkansas? To create photographs so happy, your grandkids will frame them!

Couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture our magic moments during the engagement & wedding! She was so much fun to work with & has a way of easing nerves to capture our true personalities. She even helped with fixing my dress when the zipper kept slipping. I'd book her again in a heartbeat!!

TLDR; Choose Lissa - she's worth it!
Choosing Lissa as our wedding photographer was the best decision we made! The day flies by so fast and what will last you forever are the gorgeous pictures that she and her husband will take. Lissa is a joy to work with - bubbly, energetic, and positive. I warned her upfront that my fiancee and I were not models and felt somewhat camera awkward which she immediately embraced and overcame. She quickly feels like a family friend you want to invite to your Christmas party.
These shots aren't your typical "pose like this and smile" generic; her fun and quick directions kept us laughing, enjoying the process (rather than feeling like a burden), and resulted in amazing photos. Her editing is bright, HAPPY, and flattering. Communication was consistent and she was patient to track me down when I was busy and forgot to follow up.
Your wedding is one day and these photos last forever. Trust Lissa!

Lissa is absolutely the best photographer I have ever worked with. She made my wedding day a breeze. I am obsessed with the pictures I had for my wedding, and engagement. Lissa took charge, and helped in every aspect of the wedding day. She made sure that we had special time together during the wedding, and our pictures show that. Her attention to detail is second to none. I will come back to Lissa for any pictures we need!

Hire Lissa Chandler. You will be so grateful you did.
As my now-husband (and mom and best friend) and I began planning our wedding, my number one priority was finding the right photographer. We wanted a simple wedding—no bridal party, nothing formal, just a simple ceremony and fun party in my parents’ backyard for the people we love. What mattered most to me (beside the whole getting married part) was having beautiful photos to remember the day.
I knew the cost of professional photographer would take up most of the budget for a simple backyard wedding, and I was totally at peace with that because I knew that I would be devastated if I my wedding photos were anything less than stunning. When I met Lissa and she shared her work with me, I was thrilled. Her photos are full of light and color! They perfectly matched what I was visualizing for my wedding.
When the ceremony is behind you and the reception is over the dress will be tucked away in a closet (and probably filthy), the centerpieces and flowers will be something you have to get rid of, and the cake will be such an annihilated wreck you won’t recognize it. But the photos are what you get to keep. They preserve all those choices and all that hard work—the dress, the flowers my sister-in-law spent hours crafting into bouquets, the toys dinosaurs I spray painted because my husband likes a dinosaur video game and I wanted him represented in the decorations, the cake that was so beautiful I wanted to cry. Lissa captured every detail and all the special moments of our wedding in bright, happy photographs that I will treasure always.
Lissa Chandler is simply the best wedding photographer you could ask for. She also takes great engagement and family photos. I want her to be my personal paparazzi and just capture all my important moments.

There are too many good things to say about Lissa. We cannot express how happy we were to have her as our wedding photographer! She is fun and bubbly, listens to your desires, gets to know you as a couple, and her photos reflect the overall atmosphere of the day. Her direction in how to pose is welcomed but not rigid (makes photo subject rookies feel so comfortable). She also gets the sweetest candid shots. When we first received our wedding album, I remember how impressed I was. I literally felt like I was reliving my wedding day over and over again...and I STILL feel that way! Her vibrant photography and attention to detail leaves you with a happy story to show for generations to come. Lissa basically feels like your best friend who you want to hang out with all the time and document your life, because she is the most fun human and her photography captures moments in the sweetest way.

I couldn't imagine my wedding day without Lissa! Her positive and receptive personality made talking and working with her so easy. She puts thought into every. single. detail. Lissa listened to my input (let me pick my bridal session site!), but also used her creative talent to exceed my every expectation. She's photographed two of my very best friends' weddings, too, and now we are all just waiting for another opportunity to call her. Best photographer in our area. I love her, dearly.

Lissa is absolutely amazing. She was more than our photographer - she kept me calm, cool, collected, and EXCITED. She was extremely professional, but also personable. She made it feel like you've known her for years. She also worked with me on a tight budget. Her style and the photographs fit our wedding perfectly. I am having the hardest time selecting which ones I want in an album, because I want every single photo in there! Man oh man. I can't say enough about how much I love Lissa and her talent.

Back at ya, Claire! I'd photograph your wedding every weekend! It was SO fun!!

OMG LISSA IS THE BEST! Was lucky to snag her as our photographer after seeing her skills at a friends wedding. So kind and bubbly which I loved. She's also excellent at her job. Really efficient but still makes the photo part fun. Not to mention her photos are gorgeous. Definitely recommend her!
