Luke is who you want to do your wedding photos!! We had the most amazing day, and the pictures make it look even more magical than it even was. Luke and his crew are professional, efficient, creative and incredibly talented- they know how to capture light, catch the best smile moments and make the photos amazing. He and his team were new to our venue and took the time to find all the best photo spots, were patient when timing didn’t go quite as planned, and worked great with our family and friends to get portraits done efficiently. He got us our pics back lightning fast, and truly was a joy to work with through the whole process. Everything was easy, he took all of our ideas and incorporated them into his list to make sure we got everything we wanted, and helped make the day go smoothly. I can’t recommend him enough. The only con with Luke Wayne Photos is that you might have too many awesome shots to possibly frame in the available wall space in your house.
Luke was the most amazing photographer!!!! He has such an eye for details!! Highly highly recommend!!! He was attentive, understanding, asked us specifically what pictures we wanted, and has a natural talent for working with people! He photographed our engagement shoot with our motorcycle and perfectly captured our story!!! If you are thinking of booking Luke, do it quick!!!! You will not regret it. Such an awesome guy to work with.
Can't recommend Luke enough! From the moment we saw a sample album of his work on at a wedding venue tour, we had a feeling that we wanted Luke to capture our special day. After our fist phone call we knew it'd be a great match. Luke knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of a camera lens - we can be pretty awkward people and not know what to do, how to pose, etc. - and Luke and his assistant helped us feel like naturals, knew what to say to make us laugh, and had so many different ideas up their sleeves to get us perfect results.
We are extremely grateful for the way the photos came out for the wedding - they captured everything - our details, our families, our candidas. Soooo easy to work with, when both my husband and I were getting ready the morning of the wedding, he kept the mood loose and neither of us felt any nerves! Luke got all the perfect angles and we never felt he was getting in the way of anything - we didn't even notice he was there. And, he turned the full gallery around quicker than we expected - it was AMAZING.
If you're looking for a photographer that is willing to lay on the ground to get the perfect angles, one that'll make you laugh, and one that you can truly connect with ... Luke is your guy! The pictures are stunning and I'm so happy we chose him to capture our fairytale wedding. We hope to be able to use him for another milestone one day!!
Luke Wayne exceeded all expectations with our wedding photography. From our very first meeting all the way through our wedding day, he was there to answer any questions and make us feel at ease. Not only is he an amazing photographer, but he (and his assistant) is a joy to work with and makes your day special. The photos were delivered very fast (less than 2 weeks!) and were all incredible. They captured everything about the day and we continue to get compliments on them. We would highly recommend Luke Wayne for any photography!
I cannot recommend Luke enough for anyone looking for a wedding photographer! Luke and his team, Dominique and his videographer Ryan, were awesome! They were professional, very fun to work with, and courteous throughout the entire process. If I could give them an even higher rating I would!!
If I could give Luke more stars I would! He was the absolute best photographer. He was able to direct use for every shot, make us feel so comfortable, and was even able to roll with new ideas on the fly like our "mob wives" photos and getting fun shots of us on the bar. The real magical moment was getting photos outside in the rain. I couldn't imagine this day without having him as our photographer!
Luke Wayne is an artist with the camera! He captured the emotions of the day - from the subtle gestures to the grand moments that we will never forget! The specialness of his work is in the details. We had a wonderful day for weather and his photographs show the vibrant colors of the fall day and the gorgeous bouquets! He was able to capture a portrait of myself surrounded by the beautiful flowers in a way that was reminiscent of one of my favorite artists, Frida Kahlo; and, that picture is one that I will always treasure.
Luke was an absolutely PHENOMENAL photographer! My husband and I worked with Luke for both our engagement photos and our wedding photos. During our engagement shoot, Luke made us feel at ease despite both of us being new to formal pictures. He was funny, professional, and knew the best places to take pictures at our engagement shoot location. At our wedding, Luke and his second shooter Dominique were such a pleasure to work with! They took truly beautiful photos and were willing to stand outside in the pouring rain to get some really cool rain pics! Luke also got our pictures back to us less than 2 weeks after the wedding, which was incredibly impressive. I cannot praise Luke enough for all of his wonderful work. Highly recommend him!!!
Luke and his team surpassed all our expectations with their exceptional service and artistic talent. From our initial consultation, Luke took the time to meticulously plan the photography and videography for our wedding day. His attention to detail and creativity shone through as he scouted out stunning locations for photos, capturing the essence of our special day. Luke's professionalism and calming presence helped us feel at ease, allowing for natural and candid shots. The photos and video he produced were nothing short of breathtaking, each frame a vivid storytelling masterpiece that beautifully encapsulated the emotions and moments of our wedding. His expertise in both photography and videography was evident, as every angle and shot was perfectly orchestrated, highlighting both the big moments and the intimate details. The final products were delivered promptly and with exceptional quality, leaving us in awe of the stunning visuals that we'll cherish for a lifetime. In summary, Luke’s dedication, artistic vision, and commitment to excellence made our wedding memories even more magical, and we can't recommend him highly enough.
Luke and Dominique were absolutely incredible. So much fun to work with! They kept our wedding day on schedule and relaxed. I know the photos will be everything we want - they captured our love and celebration perfectly! Thank you !!!
We can safely say that hiring Luke for our wedding was one of the best decisions we ever made! Not only were we blown away by his incredible talent, but he instantly made us feel comfortable and at-ease with his breadth of wedding experience. He’s a complete professional and knows exactly what to do and what we need before we knew it ourselves. After our very first conversation with him, we knew he was the one. He was a complete joy to work with and is incredibly personable and easy-going. The photos are absolutely stunning and we are beyond thrilled with our experience with Luke. Could not recommend highly enough!
My husband and I cannot recommend Luke and his team enough! Luke was the first, and only photographer that we contacted regarding our photography needs for our wedding. As soon as we initiated conversation with him and found that he was available for our wedding date, we knew we didn't have to look any further. Luke is so personable and welcoming to everyone. He was quick and responsive to all our questions, was a great communicator, and set forth an entire wedding day timeline for us to follow to ensure we captured every moment we wanted the day of our wedding. He kept adjusting the timeline when hair/makeup times were adjusted, and was so flexible with scheduling. From our initial conversations on the phone regarding his services and different packages, to meeting in person as the date got closer to do some in-person planning, and to every email with details and questions as the special day approached, Luke was so professional, collaborative, funny, and a great person to be around and celebrate with. He has an upbeat, humorous personality. We captured so many amazing memories thanks to their attention to detail and thoroughness with the entire day. The amount of compliments we are receiving from our wedding guests, even weeks after our wedding is truly amazing. Our wedding party loved working with Luke and Ashley, too! Luke helped bring the energy to our wedding and wedding party, and made taking photos, both small and whole group, so much fun and enjoyable.
We are IN LOVE with our wedding photos! He and Ashley did an amazingly beautiful job capturing our entire special day from start to finish. We are absolutely thrilled with the quality of our photos. Luke got sneak peaks to us in less than a week of our wedding date, and our entire on-line album in less than two weeks of our wedding date, which was so impressive. Several of our friends and coworkers who recently got married could not believe the fast turnaround of our photos, as their photographers took 1-month+ to get photos back to the couple.
We simply can’t say enough good things about Luke and Ashley. We highly recommend Luke to capture your photography needs at your wedding or other special events. We are so sad that our special day is over, but are lucky to have established a great connection and friendship with Luke, and look forward to working with him again as needs arise in the future for us for pregnancy and family photos! Thank you, Luke! We couldn't be happier!
Luke was so much fun and is so talented! He was such an amazing photographer to work with. We started by doing our engagement session with him, and he helped make us feel so comfortable, especially my husband who isn't used to so many photos and poses. For our wedding, he was able to take photos we requested, and those that we didn't even know we wanted until we got them back. We are in awe at how amazing they turned out. He is great at communication and answering all our questions. And even though it rained on our wedding day, he made the most of it and took some extra special shots! It was such a great experience to have him as part of our vendor team!
Luke and his team were absolutely amazing at our December 2022 wedding. He and Dominique were so easy to work with and the photos are flawless! Luke immediately put our wedding party at ease and was able to truly capture the magic of the day. I would 1000% recommend Luke without any hesitation.
If you want someone to perfectly capture your wedding day, Luke Wayne is your guy. He is the ultimate professional who knows how to preserve every emotion and special moment through his photography. From the moment my husband and I met Luke, we had a blast working with him! His expertise, experience, and energy are unmatched. Luke really took the time to get to know us and what was important to us. He was also so accommodating with the dynamics of our family and wedding party. His assistant Ashley was such an integral part of our day as well, she is lovely and has an incredible eye. So many friends and family members raved about our photos. Perfect is the word they used to describe them, and that is a testament to Luke and Ashley. We can't thank them enough and would recommend them time and time again!
I highly recommend choosing Luke as your wedding photographer! Not only does he have an amazing, creative eye that leads to incredible photos, but he is also a true pleasure to work with. From the moment we first spoke to him, to the big day, he made us feel so comfortable and we truly had a blast working with him. He is a true artist and a wonderful human. Our photos turned out amazing - we cannot stop looking at them. Luke is the real deal and a wonderful partner on your wedding day!
Luke and his assistant Dominique were absolutely amazing! Our pictures of our wedding day came out even better than I imagined they would! Absolutely would recommend Luke and his team to anyone! Their fun loving energy made them a breeze to work with, and made everyone feel more comfortable in front of the camera, book Luke and his team, you won’t be disappointed!
If you are looking for a wedding photographer, look no further - seriously. Luke is the BEST one out there and we are lucky that he was available for our wedding date (9/10/22). From the start, he was very responsive and always got back to us in a timely manner (even during the busy wedding season!). Our wedding photos were beyond what we could have ever hoped for. Luke and Ashley (second shooter) were so easy to work with, they helped us feel comfortable and they made the experience so much fun. The day goes by in the blink of an eye so having these beautiful memories to look back on is really special. AND he got the photos back to us in just over two weeks which is incredibly impressive. I would highly recommend Luke to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer, he is truly spectacular!!!
After meeting with a few different photographers I knew Luke would be a perfect fit for us. Every part of the process was smooth and clear. The included engagement shoot helped us feel more comfortable with him. Communication was easy and fast, he was prompt and comprehensive, answering questions and giving more information that I didn’t know I needed until he mentioned it, filling in gaps I didn’t know I had. He and Ashley worked seamlessly the whole day/night and captured memories that will last us our lifetime. Our whole set of pictures were delivered within 2 weeks and were beautifully done! We have already gotten so many complements on the photographs! I highly highly recommend Luke!
Could not recommend Luke more highly. We hired Luke for our engagement photos and our wedding. He was responsive, accommodating and such a pleasure to work with. He worked with me to create the “day of timeline” and accommodated each request. As a trustworthy vendor he explained the costs and benefits of each decision (for example helping me understand that I am planning a busy morning).
During the wedding day, he was everything I needed in a photographer. His calming approach allowed for me and my partner to drop our guards, relax and just have fun as a couple. When we had to do larger group photos, Luke was direct, clear and efficient. (Went above and beyond by managing a disorganized videographer effortlessly!) Luke was everything I could have hoped for and more.
His work speaks for itself. Photography, to me, is one of the most important decisions and I am SO incredibly happy we chose Luke.
Luke and Ashley were wonderful! They were personable, friendly to all of our guests & easy to be with. Communication was excellent throughout the process, pictures are gorgeous, and a fair price. Thank you Luke & Ashley!!
Luke was an amazing person and photographer to work with for our wedding! What impressed me the most was his laid-back and chill vibe on the surface but in his head has a whole agenda and timeline to keep to. This allows for him to keep everyone relaxed and care-free the day of the wedding but also keep everyone on schedule and get all the necessary shots. He is truly a master of his craft. Both my husband and I were also very impressed with his second shooter, Ashley. My husband has no patience for picture taking and he said working with Ashley made it so quick and painless for him. The turn around time for our photos was also SO fast — I couldn’t even believe it! Our photos were gorgeous and we are currently working with Luke to create our album. I could not be happier that we hired Luke for our wedding day — he is truly a master of his craft.
We reserved Luke for our wedding, scheduled for March 2020. We had paid him a $1000 deposit, but, of course, the pandemic hit and the state of Connecticut shut down all venues; which is to say, we had to cancel, but so did EVERYONE, so we did not cost him a job.
Unlike [literally] every other place … the wedding venue, cake designer, DJ, etc … Luke wouldn’t budge on refunding at least a part of the deposit (we said we’d understand if he kept a couple of hundred for his time and any prep work he did). So for two phone calls (maybe 20 minutes worth of conversation), this cheapskate kept our $1000.
A word to the wise, if you want to deal with an ETHICAL business owner, go with someone else.
Words cannot describe how great it was to work with Luke, Ashley, and Mike to capture our wedding day. Luke made planning for our wedding easy and helped us throughout answering any questions we had. He captured amazing shots for our engagement photos and made being photographed comfortable and fun. Ashley and Mike were so much fun to work with on our wedding day! By the end of the night it felt like we knew them for years. They were so easy to work with and they were able to corral our wedding party all day long keeping us on track with time. We could go on for days about how much fun they were and how much we would recommend Luke, Ashley, and Mike for any wedding or event.
Luke is awesome! He’s such a nice guy, very funny and great to work with! Not to mention the pictures are absolutely beautiful. His second photographer Ashley was also wonderful! We really enjoyed working with them both. Your photographers easily become some of the people you spend the most time with on your wedding day and Luke and Ashley are so easy to chat with and get along with, they make you feel like you’re just hanging out with friends and make taking photos fun! We really enjoyed sharing our day with them and love our photos! We highly recommend them!
If you are looking for the most amazing photographer with an eye for detail AND an amazing sense of humor, please look no further. Luke is down to earth and incredibly skilled. We had the best time with Luke from the minute we met, through engagement photos, and he was such a rockstar at our wedding. Then, as if that’s not enough- he has the best second shooter, Ashley, and videographer, Chris. I cannot tell you how amazing they all were, and we will cherish our time with them, the photos and the video for years to come.
Luke said something to me when we first met that really stuck “You’re going to spend the most time with me on your wedding day, so we need to make sure we click.” He was right and hiring him wound up being one of the absolute best decisions we made. Luke was a pleasure to have by my side the ENTIRE night. He was hilarious and personable, he stepped back and gave me space when he could sense I needed a minute to myself and he genuinely just fit right into the party. The photos came back in record time and they were even more perfect than we could have ever imagined. He captured the essence of “us” because he took the time to listen to who we were and what we wanted. Luke is truly a master at his craft.
We couldn’t have been happier to have had Luke as our wedding photographer. We did an engagement session with him as well and had the best time. Luke knows exactly what he’s doing and made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. Not only did our engagement and wedding photos come out beautifully, but shooting with Luke and Ashley on our wedding day was a ton of fun. He helped us scope out the best spots for the first look and venue pictures. Luke was very flexible and checked in with us throughout the day to make sure we were getting all the shots we wanted. We can’t recommend him highly enough!
Luke was so easy to work with from start to finish. From our first meeting in his studio to the wedding day, he was honestly amazing. Luke was quick to respond to emails, rolled with any changes, and adjusted to anything that came our way (like an insane rain storm on wedding day). The wedding photos are UNBELIEVABLE and were back to us so, so quickly. Luke (and Ashley!) made the wedding day just perfect. Luke is a joy to work with, will make you laugh (even if you're camera - awkward) and will deliver photos that are just priceless. Highly, HIGHLY recommend.
I am so incredibly grateful to have had Luke and Ashley photograph our engagement and our wedding! Luke was able to capture our beloved dogs in our engagement shoot - photos that we will always cherish. Our wedding day was captured so beautifully it is truly difficult to choose even a handful of favorites. Not only were we impressed with the quality and the beauty of our photos, but the care that was taken to ensure that our bridal party and families felt at ease during the process and genuinely enjoyed themselves on our wedding day. I still hear to this day how much fun everyone had taking photos and enjoying the day. We are so unbelievably happy with our photos and memories made on our best day. Luke and Ashley were such an integral part of our wedding and our dream team of vendors. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!! 💜
Luke is not only very friendly and funny, but makes even the most shy person feel comfortable. His work is truly amazing and we know several people who have also used him for their weddings! Wouldn’t have wanted to work with anyone else!
Luke and his assistant Ashley are the DREAM team of wedding photography! From the moment we met him we knew he was our kind of people. Down to earth, funny/ goofy and very artistic with his work. He worked well with the postponing of our wedding due to the pandemic and came in clutch ready to have fun the day of the wedding. He came in instantly making everyone laugh and that's super important on a anxious day! I will continue to use him for big moments in our lives for years to come. Thank you luke and ashley for making the day so wonderful. And for capturing the best day of our lives.
Luke is amazing, he is so organized and fun to work with. The pictures he takes are stunning. Could not have worked with a better photographer, one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding!
Luke was a critical element to our engagement and wedding celebration, and he 100% delivered! After interviewing a few photographers, we chose Luke because of how comfortable we felt after meeting them. Luke takes so much pride in their awesome couples, and his work is absolutely stunning. From our evening engagement photoshoot, to postponement and finally our wedding celebration, Luke was flexible with us and provided so much useful, priceless guidance. Luke and Ashley promised we would have amazing photos AND get to enjoy our entire wedding - and we definitely got both. My biggest fear for our wedding day was that we would have to spend a ton of time on photos, but with Luke's attention to detail and our timeline, we had the best of every part of our wedding day and kick-ass photos to remember everything. We cannot recommend Luke enough to couples looking for an experienced and creative photographer that delivers flawless, timeless photography tailored to your exact hopes and dreams!
We have absolutely loved working with Luke! We knew we wanted to work with Luke when just about every other vendor we spoke to (venue, DJ, etc.) suggested we reach out to him, and we knew we made the right choice after Luke not only kept us laughing and having a great time through our engagement shoot, but he produced the most beautiful photos for us. We loved working with Luke so much that when we had to postpone our wedding due to the coronavirus we decided to call Luke before our venue to make sure he was available on our new date because the most important thing to us was getting to work with Luke again. When we did have to change our plans due to the virus, Luke was incredibly flexible and willing to work with us to do whatever he could to give us the day we wanted. If Luke is available on your wedding day do yourself a favor and book him!
Seriously look no further if you’re looking for an amazing team of photographers/videographers. From our first meeting, we knew Luke would be the best person to capture our wedding. This was confirmed at our engagement shoot, where he made us feel so comfortable (especially for two people who aren’t comfortable in front of a camera) and made us laugh. In the year that elapsed before our wedding, he helped us figure out the “day of” timeline, helped us decide whether to do a first look, and was always available for questions. On our wedding day, Luke and his second shooter, Ashley, and his videographer, Chris, made us all feel at ease. They joked with us, helped calm us down before the first look, and kept everything running smoothly. They positioned us so that we all looked amazing and thought of every detail that would make our photos perfect! Luke Wayne Photography is a talented, down-to-earth group of professionals and artists - I would give them a million stars if I could!
Luke is absolutely amazing!! Our venue had some of his work displayed and we loved it from the start. Luke was the first vendor that we booked with after reserving our wedding date. We booked him right at our first meeting! We didn’t need to look elsewhere. He really captured our personalities in the photos, and he captures the moment of every scene. He loves what he does and it absolutely shows. From the engagement shoot, to photographing myself and my bridesmaids while we were getting ready the morning of the big day, the wedding ceremony and reception, everything went smoothly. We had specific photos that we wanted of family members and he made sure to get every photo that we had requested. My husband and I had never taken professional photos together and Luke made us feel very comfortable during our engagement shoot. He is very professional, creative, responsive, and very easy to work with. He really takes the time to make sure that his couples get every photo that they request and more. The photo album that he made is wonderful as well! We will have these memories the we can relive for the rest of our lives through his beautiful photos. We would highly recommend him!
Luke was extremely easy and fun to work with! I had booked him from Colorado and it was super easy to communicate with him. We had a beautiful engagement photo shoot in Collinsville, CT. It had been our first time meeting him in person, but Luke made us feel so comfortable. Even though it had been raining, he took some amazing photos. I felt that Luke really captured some beautiful moments and gave us the shots that we had requested with family and friends at our wedding. Our photo album is gorgeous and I would definitely book with Luke again!
Luke photographed my sister in law’s wedding and we knew we wanted to book him for ours! Luke was the FIRST vendor we booked after securing our wedding date. Not only did our photos come out better than I even imagined but Luke is fun, silly, organized and has a very calm presence. He is such a please to work with from start to finish!
Very personable and fun to work with! Our photos came out amazing and he was extremely timely with our photos! Highly recommend him!
Where can we start about Luke?! Don't even search for anyone else!!! We never even considered another photographer once we met him at our venue. From the moment we met, we immediately had a bond with Luke that we hadn't gotten from anyone else. His striking pictures drew us in, and his friendly and funny, yet professional demeanor made us never want to leave him.
His work is beautiful and his way of caring and understand is amazing. As soon as we met him at his studio and hired him we immediately started planning our engagement pictures. Luke took a weekend and travelled to New York City for us so we could take our pictures in the beautiful Central Park. I had sent him some inspiration pictures from Pinterest and he immediately read our minds and knew exactly the look we were going for. When I stupidly forget to take my hair elastic off my wrist, he was right in it seeing all the details and made sure I took it off immediately!
Fast forward to our wedding and when it came to the pictures, we didn't need to worry about ANYTHING! He came to my bridal suite where I was getting ready to document everything, even going as far as to take my jewelry and our rings and finding the perfect place outside to photograph them.
Luke's co-shooter Mary Beth was with my husband and his guys in their suite getting ready and had so much fun with them!
We went to the wedding venue and Luke had an incredible way of shooting things I knew I wanted pictures of but was so busy to ask for! He was there for it all and captured our day perfectly.
When it came time for family pictures I was scared I wouldn't get my blended family and my husbands family in all the photos. But without even providing a list, Luke knew just the right pictures to take and how to corral all of our families to be ready for them.
We had found some wedding pictures he had taken previously that we wanted to copy and he was more than happy to do, including a champagne pop in the dark. Never could I have expected to get these beautiful photos with me and my husband in them until we met Luke.
All these decisions for your wedding are so important and you want to be sure you make the right ones, and know that hiring Luke to capture your special day will be the easiest and best decision you make!!
Luke will forever be such a special part of our big day and someone we hope to stay in touch with for a long time!
We worked with Luke for our engagement photos as well as our wedding day. He was very professional, creative, and easy to work with. We had a great time throughout the process.
It was evident that Luke is one of the top photographers and has perfected his trade. He had many suggestions whether it be for locations/poses/ways to integrate light throughout our engagement photos and made it a great experience.
Luke is very flexible, willing to travel, and helped us from start to finish. His feedback and suggestions on building the wedding album were key to having a beautiful finished product. I would highly recommend Luke Wayne. Great work, Luke!
Luke is a terrific photographer. I was impressed with his work, and was extremely easy to work with. I would recommend him to everyone.
Luke and his entire team were super professional but still really personable, made us feel relaxed (and we’re not natural models and don’t love taking pictures), were super accommodating with our day of schedule and of course gave us amazing pictures to look back at! Luke was great about rescheduling our engagement photos at the last minute due to rainy weather, coordinating our dog into some of the engagement shots and was very responsive throughout the entire process. We are currently trying to pick photos for our album which is extremely difficult with how many we really love. When we met with Luke the first time, he told us that even though he hadn’t been to our venue (Ethan Allen Hotel in danbury, CT) before, it’s his job to find pictures in the moment based on people, places, weather etc. so he wasn’t worried at all about that and that was one of the things that convinced us to book him. Definitely very happy that we did!
Luke is the absolute best!!! Not only did he capture our day more perfectly than we could have ever imagined, but he was amazing to work with beginning to end! We are certainly not models, but Luke made us feel comfortable and relaxed, resulting in the most beautiful photos. His responsiveness, sense of humor, and overall personality are just a few things on the long list of reasons he is so great to work with! He made the whole process so enjoyable, and for that we are forever grateful. Thanks to Luke, we will always be able to look back and relive the best day through his gorgeous photos. We would 100% recommend Luke to anyone looking for an incredible photographer and person!
Photos came out beautiful. Luke did an amazing job at also getting cool/artsy pictures. He went above and behind. Would highly recommend!
The best photographer ever!!! We are so happy with everything he has done for us. He did such a beautiful job with all our photos! We couldn't be happier with our choice to use Luke Wayne Photography! And we will use him again for photography needs! He is literally the best
If you haven't seen Luke's photos, I encourage you to first go to his Instagram. His photos are professional, creative, and artistic. He has a wonderful style that is both elegant and timeless. Thanks to Luke's knowledge of the lens, he is able to find the best and most beautiful lighting and color for his photos: back-lighting a rainy night or capturing golden afternoon sunlight filtering through a weeping willow as a dramatic backdrop. He is able to improvise and utilize his time at any engagement shoot or wedding venue to find those one-in-a-million shots that only YOU will have in your wedding album, because he utilizes every detail of YOUR day. Luke is knowledgeable about the traditional family and bridal party portraits too, and makes sure to prioritize those, which makes the moms and dads happy! He knows every arrangement of people and where to place them.
Neither my fiance nor I were comfortable in front of the camera, as we'd never done professional pictures before, but we smiled and laughed the entire time, since Luke's instructions made it so easy to follow along and have fun! He knows how to position you and find those most flattering angles, too :)
Best of all, Luke does videography too!! YAY! I was so happy to be able to get both beautiful photos and video in Luke's style.
Working with Luke was easy and fun! We enjoyed our many meetings with Luke at both hosting us at his studio and out at local restaurants as friends. He is easygoing and friendly, yet professional and really takes his time to get to know his clients through every step of the process. Luke's day as a wedding photographer is every bit as busy as ours, as he starts early in the day and shoots for over 8 hours, even taking time during the reception for beautiful "twilight photos," which is so nice as it gives the bride and groom quiet time away from the hubbub to take romantic evening light photos that look amazing! I also can't compliment Luke's second shooters enough (there are two Ashleys!). We worked with one of the Ashleys during our wedding and she was fun and friendly as well!
One thing I also really liked about Luke was the way he put together his wedding packages. I have to say that once I saw Luke's photos, I wasn't really interested in anyone else because his photos really pop. However, I did compare packages to see what they included, and I feel that Luke gives the most honest and comprehensive packages out there: he includes everything in his pricing, which are things that you might not realize are important to have, or that other photographers charge extra or treat as add-ons, such as rights to photos and a wedding album, as well as number of hours shooting. I felt that I might have lost out on these very important details if I went with another photographer, but Luke was upfront and eager to include it all! When meeting with Luke, you get to look through examples of his different types of wedding albums and know exactly what you will be getting when you hire him!
All my family and friends were floored by our wedding album, and they couldn't stop talking about how awesome Luke was to work with, thanks to his professionalism and eye for detail. He made every moment shine and count for us, and I hope you consider him for yours!
Luke ( and his second shooter) are absolute professionals. He is amazing to work with and makes taking pictures fun. We chose to work with Luke after being in a wedding he shot and loving his personality and work. On our wedding day he went above and beyond. He captured every special moment. We love his pictures and his candids are some of our favorites. We received our pictures within weeks of our wedding date and they are beautiful! We can't wait for these picture to be shared for the rest of our lives and hopefully beyond our years. Luke may not realize it but he documents history for families that will last forever, truly a special thing. He is a true professional and an enthusiastic photograph that I wish every couple had the opportunity to work with!
Luke is, in one word, phenomenal. After the first look at his website, I knew he was my wedding photographer. The deal was sealed when my mom found him separately and told me I had to check this guy out. Luke’s talent is obvious and his photos speak for themselves, but perhaps the best thing about Luke, is Luke! He is amazing. Incredibly responsive, patient, easy going, and always down to have some fun. I live out state for school and was quite the absentee bride, Luke was such a trooper. He even Facetimed with me so I could ask all my questions!
One of best things about Luke is his personality- fun, open, very personable and caring. He wants to know his clients and produce photographs complementing their personalities. My husband is not comfortable having his photo taken and was very resistant to engagement photos. Not only did Luke brave below freezing weather to go hiking with us for it, but by the end he had my husband laughing, chatting easily, and feeling more comfortable. That rapport came back on wedding day and resulted in some breathtaking and amazing wedding photos. Not only did my husband love Luke, my entire bridal party could not stop talking about how fun and talented he was.
Our wedding photos are a testament to Luke’s talent. My bridal party was a rowdy and ridiculous bunch…no one could keep a straight face the moment Luke and Ashley arrived, yet wonderful, candid and beautiful pictures still happened. He made sure to ask if we wanted any special photographs and got all the family photos done in a timely manner so everyone could enjoy cocktail hour. We had rain all day, but Luke utilized our venue and captured beautiful shots. When the weather cooperated, we got some great twilight and outdoor shots too! We could not be happier with choosing Luke as our wedding photographer. We highly recommend him to everyone and guys, seriously, he’s getting really popular so BOOK NOW before he’s full! Thank you Luke!! Much love from Caroline and Aaron!
As a wedding professional myself, I knew the importance of choosing a top-notch photographer for my own wedding. Luke and his second-shooter Ashley were everything I could have ever wanted in a wedding photographer and then some! They captured every single moment beautifully, without being pushy or invasive. Luke has an eye for unique, jaw-dropping shots, is so easy to work with, and makes you feel so comfortable. His turnaround time with your photos is so fast and there honestly wasn't a single photo that my husband and I weren't in love with! I would recommend Luke in a heartbeat!
Let me start by saying this, Luke is an amazing photographer and is truly gifted at what he does. Now, with that being said, he also has a few quirks about him that make him difficult to work with. I had two major issues with Luke and if we hadn’t already paid him in full, I would have switched photographers after the first issue.
The first issue arose when I started discussing a “live edit” show that I had purchased through my DJ. A live edit involves playing a slide show at the end of the wedding that is put together by the DJ and photographer during dinner time. I had paid an extra $750 to my DJ for this option and was really excited about it. When I spoke with Luke he stated that while everyone was enjoying their dinner, he planned on doing the same and would not work with the DJ and provide images for the slide show. I was instantly turned off by Luke and very disgusted. I am not paying you thousands of dollars to enjoy your dinner; I’m paying you to do a job. Luckily I was able to receive a refund from my DJ; otherwise I would have made this a bigger issue with Luke.
After all was said and done, I decided to let my ill feelings towards Luke go and just hoped that he would make it up to me by taking amazing photos on my wedding day. As I suspected, Luke did exactly that, and captured beautiful moments that I will have forever. After returning home from my honeymoon I contacted Luke to discuss my wedding album. He instructed me to send him the images I liked, and he would start putting together a rough draft of an album. After several revision we put together what I thought was going to be a beautiful wedding album. However, when I received the album, I was very upset. There are tons of empty white wasted spaces, and it is not at all what I expected. When we were designing the album there were never any indicators or statements from Luke as to where the photo ended and where the edges of the pages were. This whole time I was expecting to have the pages of my album fully covered by my photos, not huge areas of white empty space. When I reached out to Luke to discuss this, he got very defensive and was instantly unwilling to change anything without charging me an additional $600 for a new one after I already had to pay an extra $150 to add 3 pages to the current one!! I’m sorry, but truly that is unacceptable. I am now stuck with an album that I am unhappy with, and every time I look at all’s I can think about is how frustrated I am with Luke.
I know this review is lengthy, but I have thought about this for a long time (almost 5 months) and for the two reasons above, I would not recommend Luke without sharing my story. He truly is a gifted photographer, but his customer service approach needs some adjustments. It’s a shame that he was so unwilling to help me correct the miscommunications regarding the album, because that is truly what drove me to write this review.
Just look at his photos! He is the absolute best! Makes you feel comfortable and not awkward and gets you laughing the whole time. Truly listens to what the bride and groom wants. Has stellar ideas to get amazing pictures. Book him now before he’s gone!
We cannot say enough good things about Luke! Two of my bridesmaids used him for their weddings, and after seeing their pictures and hearing their comments about Luke I knew I️ had to have him when I got married one day. I️ literally booked my venue and wedding date around his availability! From our first meeting Luke was so personable and approachable. He even helped me to research a mountain bike wedding gift AND went for rides with my husband on their free time. Luke kept us laughing, reminded me to relax, and managed to capture every amazing moment from the day, even some that I️ didn’t know happened! His second shooter Ashley was equally as amazing and my husband and his groomsmen had nothing but good things to say about working with her all morning. Our pictures came in less than a month and instantly made me ugly cry happy tears all over again. I would HIGHLY recommend Luke, and Ashley, to ANYONE getting married. If you want quality, professional, one of a kind pictures and an amazing experience there’s simply no where else to look!
We cannot express how happy we were with not only the amazing photos, but working with Luke. Luke was helpful and always willing to discuss any questions we had from the very beginning until our wedding day and even after. I wanted to have our wedding day planned to the minute and Luke was there every step of the way with a Plan B in case of rain and with a ton of positivity and great ideas. We would highly recommend Luke for the high quality of the service but also the overall experience- it can't be beat!
Luke is an absolutely incredible photographer and an even better person. He went above and beyond to make my wife and me feel comfortable and at ease on our wedding day. The pictures we just received were beautiful and he captures the day including all the intimate details. In addition, his co-worker Ashley was fantastic and worked so well with all the groomsmen. We highly recommend Luke and think there's no better choice for ensuring a great day and wonderful photos.
When you have a fiance who is pretty apprehensive about the photography portion of your wedding having an easy going photographer is clutch. Working with Luke not only made the experience comfortable for the both of us, he made it fun and enjoyable.
While we had plans to meet a couple of photographers, we only had to meet with Luke. We both knew right away that his casual approach with high quality professional photos was exactly what we wanted for our day. We live in Boston and Luke was willing to drive up to see us for our engagement photo session. Even though we were getting married in Connecticut, we were still able to incorporate where we currently live into the experience, which we really appreciated.
The day of the wedding, Luke and his assistant Taylor were awesome at getting the details of the day but also the candid photos that we really wanted to have. Both of the engagement and wedding photos were delivered quickly and had so much variety to choose from. Everyone loved the guestbook that he put together for us and I can't wait for us to finish our wedding album!
Hands down-Luke is one talented photographer and any couple would be lucky to have him photograph their day!
My husband and I couldn't be happier to write a review for Luke Wayne Photography. While visiting a wedding venue, we fell in love with one of Luke's photographs and knew we had to contact him to set up a meeting and the rest is history. Luke is the best around and here are several reasons why. First off when we submitted an inquiry to meet with Luke, he was quick respond. He was willing to travel to meet with us, arrived on time and brought several examples of his work for us to look at. He was very personable and was interested in getting to know us as a couple and not just clients. He laid out his packages and was helpful in selecting the right one for us. After that initial meeting, my husband and I knew we had to book Luke (and we're lucky we did because our wedding date became one of the most popular inquiry dates for him). Our engagement shoot was so much fun and it was great for us to see how Luke works before our wedding day came. We loved the photos that he took and it just made us even more excited to see what he would capture on our wedding day. The day of the wedding, Luke was punctual and ready to get to work. Our bridal party fell in love with him and soon he felt like a part of the group. He made sure everyone felt comfortable in front of the camera. Our package came with a second shooter and Luke brought Ashley. Together they came up with some brilliant photos. From prep to our first look and the ceremony to the reception, Luke's pictures captured every beautiful detail about our day. The fire alarm went off during our reception which meant we had to evacuate the venue. What could have been a downside of the night, Luke quickly turned into a great photo opportunity with a fire truck as the backdrop to some amazing pictures. He sent pictures to us quickly and now we have the daunting task of choosing which photos we want in our album since they're all stunning. We can't thank Luke enough and plan on using him to photograph future life events.
Our experience with Luke was nothing but excellent from start to finish. It was great getting to know him during our engagement shoot, and his friendly and easy going manner totally relaxed us (in the cold and snow!). The fact that he spent our entire wedding day with us was exceptional. He beautifully captured our "getting ready" process, got tons of great candids and sent his second shooter to take pix of the guys too, which got some awesome memories as well. And even though our wedding day was 95 degrees and the crazy humidity made us sweaty messes, his pictures came out amazing! We couldn't be happier that we chose Luke!
Luke Wayne Photography is hands down the best choice I could have made to capture every beautiful moment of my wedding day. Not only did he make the groom and myself comfortable to have every emotion we did on our wedding day, but he was 100% amazing to hang out with. He was never hesitant to do what needed to be done to keep us happy and productive with our time. He, and his assistant, Taylor Kemp, were absolute professionals, and by the end of the day, absolute friends. I can't recommend Luke Wayne Photography enough!
