Lovesome Photography

tly what angle to get, how the sun would look in the pictures and they came out amazing!! When it came to the day of the wedding she got the BEST pictures! It was great because you never even noticed she was there but she captured the entire night beautifully! I would recommend her to all the brides out there especially the ones that may be a little nervous and aren't the best with having their pictures taken. I look at my pictures almost every day and it's been a little over a year since we've been married. Thank you again Lisa, I wish I could go back and do it again!!

tstanding from start to finish. She made our wedding photography experience so positive despite the fact that we had a major glitch in our intended formal shots location (there ended up being two protests that blocked us from using this space). Lisa knew just what to do and within minutes found a suitable location that was even better! Her talent exceeds anything I could have hoped for and we just love all of our pictures. She is a true expert of her craft and knows how to take her couples through the process before the big day so your vision can come to light, she also is so helpful in making sure you get just the shots you didn't even know you wanted. I highly recommend list to capture the beauty and romance of your big day. 5 stars!

quick to respond and ready to help us. We had phone meetings as well as being able to meet her in person before our wedding to understand our view for the day. She was also able to help us find our wedding ceremony location because she knows the Silverthorne/Dillon area very well! Lisa allowed for a stress free day for us because she knew where to be and when to capture all our moments we wanted! She did this without us having to tell her what we wanted, she just knew because she is so experienced. She provided us with a few sneak peaks within a few days of our wedding and a complete album in less than a month. We absolutely love our photos, they are breathtaking! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a stress free, easy going wedding photographer!!!

omfortable and beautiful. Which, if you are typically shy and uncomfortable in front of a camera like myself, is incredible. From beginning to end, she is always a pleasure to work with. Quick with communication, beautiful work, excellent turnaround, and Lisa herself is just a genuine, down to earth and amazing person. I look forward to working with her again soon!

process, and had wonderful ideas for shots. She was super helpful, sweet, and professional. The pictures turned out beautifully - and we got them back the last day of our honeymoon, which was perfect. If I could give more stars I would!

all guests, caught a lot of cute moments with the little children and great traditional wedding portraits as well. We barely saw or noticed her, and yet it seems like she was everywhere at once. Her calmness and professionalism added to my special day. Thanks Lisa!

mely happy with the photos! She has an amazing eye for photography!

new right away that Lisa was the right photographer for us. However, Lisa went far above and beyond what we expected from our photographer. For example, we wanted a private ceremony in a secluded spot in beautiful Frisco, but had not selected a location. We described to Lisa what we hoped for and she went on her own in search of places for us. The week before the wedding, she drove us to several beautiful spots and described the options for photos we’d have at each one. The spot we chose was perfect- a dried riverbed with a creek running through, a small pine grove, and stunning mountain views. Lisa’s photos of our wedding are beautiful. Lisa was able to capture candid moments showing the joy of the occasion, as well as the beautiful surroundings. We appreciated Lisa’s ability to provide guidance for more structured photos but also to allow us to enjoy the moments without worrying about the camera. During our “First Look” and the ceremony, we didn’t even notice she was there. After the ceremony, she efficiently organized family shots while maintaining the fun and relaxed atmosphere a wedding should have. It was the ideal balance. Moreover, we felt incredibly comfortable with Lisa and she stepped in to take care of many small details. From leading us out individually to our “First Look” location to holding our chapstick, Lisa helped us with anything we needed and felt like a good friend by the end. We could not recommend Lisa highly enough!

l, and she got every shot we had requested and more. She also took the time to go to the venue before our wedding to find the best locations for formal photos. She went above and beyond. I highly recommend Lovesome Photography.

aphers work online and Lisa was nothing short of all the amazing things clients said about her! We had rain, sleet, snow, hail and a little sunshine the day of our wedding and Lisa didn’t let any of it get in the way of her creativity! She captured the most beautiful moments from one of the greatest days of my life and I can’t thank her enough!

ould interact with family members who want to be taking and directing photos of their own. We did an adventure session and an engagement session with Lisa prior to our wedding and not only are the photos amazing but it also was a great opportunity to get to know her better. The day of our wedding everything went off well and Lisa helped choreograph a so very special first look and also gave us some of our most precious moments by photographing us from afar so that we could enjoy the moment just the two of us. All of our photos turned out great but the best part of working with Lisa was that we knew not only would our photos be great but also working with her would be a phenomenal experience.

learly had done her research and picked the most beautiful mountain views for our portraits. Most importantly, she made us feel comfortable and at ease, thus creating beautiful, natural photographs we will cherish the rest of our lives.

can really appreciate the harsh daylight conditions she had to shoot our mid-day outdoor wedding in. She pulled it off with flying colors! She captured everything about our wedding and we couldn't be any more pleased. Not only is she a wonderful photographer, but she is also a really nice person.

ofessional, kind and friendly, there are no words to describe the beauty that she captured for us! We are forever grateful as she was the only one to witness our vows.

e went above and beyond by helping us change the venue setup from outside to inside due to the rain. With limited options for shots inside, we still had the most beautiful pictures that we will cherish for a lifetime!

is incredible!! My friends have said these are the best wedding photos they have ever seen!! She really captured every aspect of the Venue and used the different surroundings to create many different looks. If you are searching for an amazing photographer, look no further, Choose Lisa, you will Not be disappointed!!

f the year. To make it even tougher, our wedding was entirely outdoor. Lisa and Heather each carried two big cameras, and sprayed themselves with loads of bug spray to solider through the day. Despite the environmental challenges, they carried us and kept us happy and excited. For the couple portraits, they took us into forests, near ponds, through gardens, and a steaming green houses. They had a great eye for both couple pictures and capturing subtle details throughout the day. They also did a great job not being noticed which allowed them to capture great candid shots and precious moments. Heather was so creative and asked me to spin in my big dress with the lawn as the background. I had so much fun, and those pictures will forever be great memories. We didn't have anyone to direct the family pictures, so Lisa stepped in to orchestrate the session - which was above and beyond what she had to do and we really appreciated it. When the pictures were delivered, we immediately fell in love.

tly on her pictures. She was fabulous from the moment we talked to her for the first time, discussing what we wanted, and the final result of her work proved to have gone way beyond our expectations!

to taking can be kind of awkward and intimate. She was soooo amazing at making us feel comfortable and everyone still talks about how beautiful our photos are since I put them everywhere on facebook (gross, I know). Our wedding was magical, and she took amazing shots and dealt with my semi-bratty attitude with ease when I wanted to just dance and not take pictures. She's one of a kind with talent and personality, and I couldn't be happier to have her take our photos on the most important day of our lives that we hope to share, via pictures, with our future children thanks to her.

. Second, communicating with her was a breeze and she is very open to suggestions (but she has a perfect sense of what will work best from a technical and artistic perspective so she'll let you know if a different approach is better). This was huge for us, because some photographers have huge egos and they're offended if you make a small suggestion. But not Lisa. She wants you to be completely happy with her work. Third, she is so passionate about her work. We looked at a lot of photographers' portfolios. And they were all pretty good. Lisa's was no exception. So what set her apart from the rest, besides her wonderful style of photography (as evidenced by her elaborate photography portfolio), was her passion. It shines through when you discuss anything photography-related to her. Finally, she also conducted herself very professionally and, in the end, she went above and beyond our expectations. I highly recommend her.

s warm, communicative, professional, and thoroughly delightful to spend time and plan our wedding with. I researched a number of photographers before finding Lisa's gorgeous and "real-looking" images that were the first that really spoke to me, so I cannot wait to get our final images back because I know they will be incredible. We were married at Lansdowne Resort, and Lisa actually came to the hotel the day before our wedding to scout out good photo locations for us. She and her second shooter Heather arrived early on our wedding day and made everyone immediately feel at ease with their friendly demeanor and efficient professionalism. They kept us smiling, on schedule, and were great about checking in with me throughout the evening to make sure my groom and I were happy and getting all of the specific group photos we requested. Lisa's photo package included engagement photos, which I did not particularly want, so she kindly exchanged that service for three full photo albums that she will put together for us to give to our parents as gifts for the holidays. We hired Lisa as a photographer but left our wedding weekend 100% feeling like we'd made a wonderful and trusted friend, and I cannot thank or recommend her enough for all that she's done for us. Hire her to photograph any special occasion in your life- I promise you won't regret it!

he wedding she brought a lot of good ideas and was engaged and gave great feedback to all of our ideas. She put me at ease on the wedding day and we surprisingly had a blast taking pictures! During the ceremony we hardly noticed she was there and she was very professional! Thank you Lisa for everything you are awesome! I highly highly recommend Lovesome Photography! 10 stars!! :)

ur emails - gave us useful ideas. I knew early on that I wouldn't have to worry about our photography, and I didn't mind that being taken off my shoulders because there were lots of other wedding stuff to worry/fuss over. On the day of the wedding, the experience was the same. She tried to make the couple-only photo session less awkward - my groom and I are awkward photo takers :) As for the photography for the actual ceremony and reception, I never really noticed Lisa or Ian taking photos of us - which is a good thing. They somehow managed to blend seamlessly into the event without being in our face taking photos, yet the photos turned out wonderful. Captured lots of moments we were a part of and not a part of, it was a great storyline of our wedding day. We couldn't be happier with chosing Lovesome Photography to be part of our wedding.

ut her personality is awesome. Your Photographer is with you all day and it only made my day that much better that I got to be around such an amazing photographer. She captured every thing I asked for and more. The album she put together for my husband and I is the most beautiful thing. Everyone has asked if I was the one to put the pictures together and my answer is no my photographer did it and there was nothing that I wanted to change. I would recommend lovesome photography to any one for any purpose every time !!!

ce we were planning from 500 miles away) and welcomed us to her gorgeous studio on a Sunday morning to accommodate our limited travel schedule and go over plans for the big day. At the wedding, Lisa and Ian were timely and professional while offering the perfect amount of direction, enthusiasm, and comic relief. We love our wedding photos and are so glad to have worked with Lovesome Photography!

on a venue) was her demeanor. She put both myself and my bride at ease. She understood our concern that the photography should not be obtrusive in the ceremony and reception, and also our interest in using the opportunity to capture candid photos of our aging relatives. She did a great job addressing both. She also offered advice in a constructive way, without being pushy about it. From helping set the positions of some arrangements, to detailing some of the flow of the reception, to working out how the sparkler-lit exit should go, she offered her experience (which we needed) in a very transparent way and left decisions up to us. Furthermore, she didn't push vendors on us, but when asked for suggestions, provided outstanding recommendations. Both times we asked for suggestions (after having searched on our own for a while), we ended up vetting the vendor she suggested and then hiring them. Lisa and the other vendors she recommended were amongst the best vendors we had the opportunity to work with on our the wedding, and the photos she took were outstanding - even though our engagement shoot ended up taking place in a blackout during a thunderstorm! (Like every other curve ball we threw at her, she knocked that one out of the park too!)

deas for picture opportunities and, with her experience and expertise, made my ideas into realities. She is calm, confident, and foresees moments that make great candid pictures. Her assistants were very capable and helpful! I am so happy and lucky that Lisa was available for our big day. Her services were affordable, the results were absolutely perfect, and she captured the beauty of our wedding in a way we will treasure forever.

0 wedding photos within 3 weeks! She's always a pleasure to converse with, be it in person, on the phone, or via email, and she's super quick to respond to any inquiries you may have. We haven't finalized our album yet, but that's mostly because we're having the hardest time narrowing down our favorites since we love practically every single photo. After going through all of the photos multiple times the day she posted them, I sent her an email: "I just felt the need to email you again. These are incredible. Simply amazing. Captured the day perfectly. I can't stop looking at them. So many wonderful moments that I had already forgotten but can now cherish forever! Thank you so so so much!" I would definitely recommend her to any and all brides. Plus, her studio in Leesburg is super cute!

ped calm my anxious nerves during the big day! I would highly recommend Lisa! I will use Lovesome Photography for future photo needs!

l of my friends and family for any occasion. Hopefully we can use her again in the future!

the brief time between our wedding ceremony and reception. The photos she took were amazing -- all of our family and friends raved at how beautiful they were! She also had a "photo reveal" party for us that was very lovely. I would definitely recommend her to anyone getting married!

will cherish for a lifetime. Working with Lisa and Ian has been a seamless and enjoyable process. Not only are they highly attentive, making sure that we were completely satisfied with pre-event planning and comfortable on our wedding day, but they also have a wonderful eye for detail that makes their work truly impeccable. Thank you both for your dedication and hard work. We could not be happier!

s from the day are spot on in showing everyone's personalities (and looking their best). We got behind in getting to the venue from hair, so we went to a Plan B Lisa and Ian came up with that worked great. We still got all the formal shots we wanted and the candids from the reception were great, too. I can't say enough wonderful things, especially when we got the photos (which were ridiculously fast in getting turned around); it felt like we could remember the day just as it was. Will treasure the photos always. :)

nvisible that day, I don't even remember seeing her very much. But we ended up with the most beautiful pictures ever! We definitely recommend her to every one!

sion instantly. Our e-session was an amazing photo shoot in downtown DC. On our wedding day Lisa and Ian were on time and dressed ready for a wedding (our guests were very impressed with this)! During the entire day both Lisa and Ian were one step ahead of us and captured our day beautifully. There is not a bad photo that I have seen. We cannot wait to see our albums. We will be using SoftBox Media for all our future photography needs! Mr and Mrs Tolbert

gement session with them in October 2012 and let them choose the venue and it was perfect. Actually, we left everything up to their judgment and we were never disappointed. They blew us away! They took a lot of time to get to know us as a couple, and as individuals. We met with them on several occasions at restaurants and their office. Even when we couldn't put into words what we liked they knew exactly what we wanted because they knew us so well. The engagement shoot was so much fun. We weren't worried at all if we were getting good shots because Lisa and Ian's work speaks for itself. We had our engagement pictures printed into a bound book that was incredible. We used this book as the signature book for our guests at our wedding. This book is sitting on our coffee table and every time someone visits they comment on how great the pictures look. Lisa and Ian also photographed our wedding and they literally got every second on film. They were able to document every single emotion and event at our wedding without us even aware they were around - even the candid moments that are priceless. Everyone that sees our pictures remarks at how perfect and creative they are. The guests at the wedding spoke so highly of them because they were not only professional, but fun! We also used their photo corner at the wedding reception and all of our guests raved about it. It was so entertaining and I highly recommend it. SoftBox Media's packages even allowed us to get every picture taken in the photo corner printed in a bound book. They have a very fast turn around time on reviewing and providing us with the pictures - we even get access to every single shot. Lisa and Ian were by far our favorite vendor for our wedding. We cannot speak highly enough of their skills and professionalism. We have recommended SoftBox Media to several of our friends and we will continue to do so. You would do your wedding a service by hiring them - they are hands down THE BEST!

r husband AMAZING but they also were in tune with our needs as a couple. We met prior to our engagement session to talk more about our needs for our wedding day and as the bride, I met individually with Lisa before our wedding to discuss more details concerning our ceremony and reception, both of which required multiple family portraits because we had 5 sides to our new family. Additionally, as an interfaith couple they respectfully inquired about the important aspects of our faiths and how they would be included in our ceremony so that they did not miss them when taking photos on our day. Together, they captured all of the small moments that were important to us. On top of that, we received our photos to us within a month and are looking forward to planning our wedding album together. Everyone who attended our wedding and who has seen their beautiful photos have been commenting on how great they turned out. Another important note to mention is that they knew we are HUGE Washington Capitals fans and they even put us in contact with the official Slapshot Mascot for the team. Our rehearsal dinner was Capitals themed and their connection with the team led to a fantastic surprise that my husband will never forget! Since our wedding, my husband (who hates having his picture taken) has even talked about having them do our first family portrait once we have children in the future. Now that is saying something! This photography duo is too good to pass up. I am sure glad that I had them for my wedding! I will always be grateful to them for providing us with such beautiful photos. THANK YOU!!!

eir work is fantastic, but they make you feel completely at ease and the whole process becomes very simple. They worked with us to build a package that really matched what we were looking for, and were also helpful in suggestions for our engagement shoot. During both the engagement and the wedding they were efficient and we actually never noticed them "in the way" at all. AND they are fast! Back from our honeymoon and our photos are already there for our review! We hope to work with them in the future, definitely.

ey were featured on a couple wedding websites. And when they did our actual day, the photos were stunning! They captured every little detail (and we were a DIY wedding so there was a lot!) and did a wonderful job at showing the atmosphere of the day. Ian and Lisa are absolutely wonderful photographers and I would absolutely recommend them to any bride any day!

er seeing their work and meeting with them at their studio that they would be the perfect match for our wedding day. From the get go they wanted to know what we envisioned for our day & how they could fit in to that vision. They did just that! Starting with our engagement shoot. They listened to our ideas for photos as well as suggested lots of their own creative ideas. Our pictures captured images that we will cherish forever. Our wedding day came and they were there on time, ready to go, with cameras in hand! They both took their time to do the individual portraits of my bridal party and the groomsmen ahead of time before the ceremony, while both communicating to ensure my wish of not seeing my husband beforehand was met. Lisa and Ian made everything stress free and made it flow so easily! After the formal posed pictures, I hardly felt like I saw them during the reception. This was not because they weren’t there, but because they blended in. Not once did my husband and I feel like we had a photographer following us around all night. Lisa and Ian somehow found a way to just blend in to the crowd all while capturing every single smile, tear, and laugh! When we got our photos back I was excited as I opened the first category of pictures on the site. Instant tears! I laughed and cried through all the photos. I was left feeling like I didn’t have enough words to even begin thanking them enough for capturing our day SO beautifully. We are still left in awe as we continue to look at our pictures and reflect back on our special day. As if anyone couldn’t tell by now, YES I would highly recommend these two. They are the most genuine, creative, hardworking, and dedicated professionals anyone could ever hope to work with. And more importantly they deliver absolutely flawless work!

ideas for shots and are both intuitive and creative. Before the wedding, Ian went with my husband to take pictures of him and his groomsmen while Lisa stayed with me. Prior to the wedding, my bridesmaids and I were running around and I was incredibly stressed out. Lisa was instrumental in calming me down and insuring me that everything was going to be fine. Since the wedding, my husband and I have been dragging our feet about the final product we want. Lisa and Ian have been amazingly patient. They delivered us a beautiful product in a timely manner. They were able to discern what would be an important memory for us to capture on film. With SoftBox Media not only did we find talented photographers, we also found two good friends.

ve been more thrilled with their demeanor and presence throughout our wedding day. Our Wedding Mass ran long, so we only had 15 minutes for formal church pictures which would be tight no matter how small the wedding party and families are - but we had a ring bearer, a (feisty) flower girl, six bridesmaids, six groomsmen and large immediate families! They were structured and timely throughout the informal wedding party shots at the reception site, and were very creative, patient and fun during the shots of just me and my husband! An extremely positive experience...We would definitely recommend SoftBox (and already have)!

ot stop looking at them...they turned out a million times better than I imagined. My family is going crazy over them. They are both laid back, fun people and super easy to work with; very knowledgable and answered all our questions promptly. We will definitely use them again and again for all our special occasions!!

my search was done!!! They were friendly and extremely helpful through and through. They were great at helping me do all the pre-planning and picking different sites at the plantation. There were a lot of differnet shots in different locations I really wanted and they were extremely easy going and were able to get AMAZING pictures. It has been near impossible to narrow done the pictures we want for our albums because they took so many amazying pictures!!! I would highly highly recommend them!!! Our wedding pictures are something that was extremely important to me and they did not let me down! You will not be disappointed!
