One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was booking Lory! She was an absolute rockstar and made our editorial, retro, photo goals come to life. Lory is a pro at what she ...
does, and is incredibly knowledgeable in her craft. Our wedding day was blustery and cold and even still, she made total magic happen and worked with the elements to get stunning images. Throughout the process and day-of she was so kind, communicative, collaborative, and was a calming presence at every step. Aside from her evident talent & skill, Lory was truly a friend to us and we were so grateful to have had her by our side for the big day. I’d recommend Lory every time!!

Working with Lory Lyon as our wedding photographer was an absolute dream! From the moment we met her, we knew we were in good hands. Lory is not only incredibly talented, but she's...
also an absolute joy to be around. She has a way of making everyone feel comfortable and at ease.
On the big day, Lory was fun, upbeat, and so easy to work with. She has a true gift for capturing candid moments while still directing everyone with clear, positive energy.
Lory made sure to get all the important shots—while also sneaking in those perfect, intimate moments between us and our loved ones. She was incredibly thoughtful, capturing all the little details we didn’t even think about but now cherish. The portraits, group shots, and candid moments are all stunning, and every time we look at our photos, we’re reminded of how much fun we had on our special day.
We couldn’t be happier with our choice to work with her. If you're looking for a photographer who’s not only a master of her craft but also someone who’ll make your wedding day that much more enjoyable, Lory Lyon is the one. Highly, highly recommend!

Two words: hire her. My husband and I are not big on taking pictures, and felt pretty anxious for our wedding photos. Lory, and her assistant Cirsty, made it feel so fun and comfor...
table. They were hyping us up the entire time, and we enjoyed ourselves so much that I think my husband is considering a career switch to modeling. Additionally, she was always incredibly responsive while we were in the planning process, and helped us develop a photography timeline and shot list that balanced what we wanted to do with what made sense for the photography (lighting needs, etc.) based on her expertise. We are so happy we went with Lory and absolutely recommend her.

We couldn't be more thankful for the incredible work Lory did for us on our wedding day. Every single photo is absolutely gorgeous—above and beyond any expectations we might've had...
. We're both completely obsessed! She's a through and through professional with an impeccable eye—an artist—capturing us in such a way that genuinely feels so true to form. And she made us feel so comfortable (which says a lot for two people who feel uncomfortable in every photo ever—and in life generally). She made our day feel so incredibly special and we can't wait to share her gorgeous work with everyone we love!

Lory blew our mind! My partner and I work in film and photography and had high expectations for a wedding photographer. We are extremely selective and spent hours poring over diffe...
rent photographers until we came across Lory. Our photos blew us away, and she went above and beyond to make sure she captured every moment. Thanks to Lory, we have beautiful memories we will cherish forever and can someday show our grandchildren. She is the real deal!

Lory is a reliable, inspired, and top-notch wedding photographer. She is a true artist and worth every penny--I would get married again just to hire her! She went above and beyond ...
to make sure we were comfortable throughout the day. She was thoughtful with all of our guests, warm, and a consummate professional. Knowing Lory was there gave me the peace of mind to really let go and enjoy my special day. We will be recommending her to all of our friends. Look no further than Lory!

Lory is FANTASTIC! We are so grateful we booked her for our wedding! Lory collaborated with me on a vision board and was extremely creative with her ideas. She arrived early at my ...
bridal suite and captured beautiful moments. At the ceremony she captured every angle you can think of. After the ceremony she gave us incredible direction with family and couple photos. She is very good with large groups!
Lory made us feel so comfortable while candidly capturing our guests. She quickly made lots of friends! ; ) Her energy is calming and it put us at ease throughout what could be a stressful day. She was patient with and very willing to take many photos of our demanding family members!
We waited only 2 weeks to receive a loaded gallery of the most beautiful photos I have ever seen! We are in LOVE. Her photos are timeless. It is impossible to pick a favorite. Our guests were also so amazed at her ability to capture movement so well. We could not have asked for a better experience on such a special day in our lives! Book her now!! You won't regret it!
