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.
