Paula and Dan are AMAZING!!!! They did our engagement and wedding photos! My husband is someone who doesn't like to smile in pictures but they captured him looking so happy!! I'm plus sized and i usually hate how I look in pictures. They made me feel comfortable getting my picture taken and the images they captured are BEAUTIFUL and STUNNING!!! They were so GREAT with our nieces and nephews! I am in awe of their work and am so grateful they took our pictures. I will be using Luz Photography for everything I need pictures of. Thank you Paula and Dan for always going above and beyond!
Paula and Dan did an excellent job at photographing our wedding, and engagement photos. Paula is responsive and a lot of fun. Some guests told us she was great!
She got our photos to us way sooner than we were expecting! I can't stop looking at them.
Paula and Dan - top notch, professional and fun!! You will not be disappointed! I keep looking at our wedding photos from that day and how absolutely amazing they are! Paula and Dan captured who we are and how we felt that day through the photos they took. Absolutely amazing couple who care so much for their clients and only want the best for them. They kept us in the timeline we needed and despite the rain on our day, they made sure we got the most superb outdoor pictures. They are simply amazing.
Paula and her husband Dan exceeded our expectations in capturing our big day in September and provided us with phenomenal photos that we will cherish forever. From the start Paula made it feel like we have know her forever. She listened and delivered on everything we wanted. The weekend of our wedding was forecasted to be a hurricane which thankfully held out but She didn’t let the overcast skys stop her from truly delivering amazing work. Paula and Dan are some of most kind people I have ever meet and I would recommend them every time.
We LOVED Paula and Dan. My best friend had them photograph her wedding years ago and I remember saying to my (then) boyfriend "I want her!" Fast forward a few years and him and I got married and it was no debate - Paula and Dan were it!
What we love:
** the pictures (of course)! Paula has a great eye for catching beautiful portraits while putting an artsy twist on them. When everyone saw the pictures afterwards they all commented on how "stunning" they were.
**Paula has an AMAZING personality for a photographer; she is 100% in the right line of work. She has a way of making EVERYONE smile - even the most stone faced people. She also was able to get both our dogs' attention at the same time - and it's one of our absolute FAVORITE pictures ever. I'm not exaggerating when I say EVERYONE commented on Paula and how fantastic she was after the wedding.
** Direction. Are you awkward and have no idea how to pose or what to do for photos? Same. Paula and Dan were able to make it look like that wasn't the case - thanks guys!
** Teamwork makes the dream work! Paula and Dan flow seamlessly together and maneuver all their equipment/cameras/etc in a highly choreographed dance to capture magical photos.
** Did I mention direction? Our venue came with an event coordinator and she was great, but I 10000% would have been late for our first look if it wasn't for Paula keeping us on schedule. Our venue was split into three buildings. The guys were getting ready in one, the girls in another, and the wedding venue was in the third where the first look was happening. Dan coordinated the boys and Paula coordinated the girls. It's easy to loose track of time when you're getting ready for a wedding! Paula helped wrap up getting ready - she buttoned buttons, tied shoes, helped with jewelry - everything - and got us out the door on time.
** Paula and Dan captured phenomenal photos, but more than that, our day would not have been the same without them.
We were so happy going with Paula and Dan for our September wedding. She made it very comfortable for two awkward people getting married. She was adored by the guests and the wedding party. Her photos came out beautifully! I'd recommend Luz photography to any of my friends or family.
Paula was great to work with and was a savior for our wedding! We had an issue with our prior photographer and I reached out to her a couple months before our wedding. She moved things around with her personal life to have her and her husband photograph our wedding, which I was very grateful for. During our wedding, she was professional the entire time and was on point with our timeline. She kept a timer on her which allowed us to keep on track with our first look, ceremony, and reception photos. She had great poses lined up for us and made me and our party feel comfortable the whole time. I highly recommend using Paula as a photographer for your next big event! We already reached out to her to capture newborn photos for when our baby comes this year.
Paula and her husband Dan shot our 10/13/2023 wedding and they were Incredible. They were both very easy to work with and Paula took her time to listen to our wants. We discussed what "vibe" we were looking for and any must have photos we wanted for both our engagement session and on our wedding day.
My husband isn't a big "smile" guy, Paula made him laugh to catch those genuine smiles. She also has this incomparable way to catching the moment. Some of my most favorite photos are the magic moment she caught. Posed pictures are always a must for wedding and sometime those can feel super awkward. Paula did not make us feel like that at all!
If you are looking for an easy, fun, and spunky duo to shoot your magical day go with Luz Photography by Paula. She is wonderful and I can't wait to work with her again.
My fiancé and I had the pleasure of working with Paula and Dan for our 2023 wedding! From the moment we contacted Paula we knew she was the perfect photographer for us! Paula and Dan made us feel comfortable right from the start, when we met them for our engagement shoot! They were very professional knowledgeable about weddings and hilarious! Paula prices are very reasonable and fair! The packages that she offers are very worthwhile! Paula was easy to get a hold of my phone whenever we had any questions! The day of our wedding, Paula was nothing but supportive and helpful-friends and family raved about how awesome Paula and Dan were! Paula is the whole package! She was very helpful as far as coordinating the ceremony, helping us advocate to other vendors, and very accommodating! I cannot recommend Paula enough. She truly made our wedding so much more special!!
Paula & Dan shot our wedding in June 2023 and we could not have been happier with our choice. Both Paula & Dan are incredibly professional, kind, and easy to work with. I continue to receive compliments on how our photos turned out and how they made everyone from our family, friends, and bridal party feel comfortable and confident taking photos. I will also say for the quality of photos and the expertise you are getting from Paula, her prices are very reasonable in comparison to other wedding photographers. All in all, if you are looking for a professional wedding photographer who is on top of her game and will provide amazing shots, Paula is your girl!
There aren't enough words to say how happy I am with the talented Paula and her husband. They truly are a dynamic duo. The pictures are beautiful!! The last thing I wanted to do on my wedding day was think and direct, that's what the planning is for, I wanted to enjoy every moment - with Paula as your shooter you will be able to do just that - it was not her first rodeo! She is fun and makes you feel great the entire time! The pictures speak for themselves: beautiful, classy, and artistic PLUS they're all yours! She has the best packages, with the most to offer. I would not recommend anyone else. She'll be my go-to photographer for every milestone from here on out.
10/10 recommend!! I will be using Luz Photography for all my future professional photography needs, as well as recommending to everyone. We used Luz Photography for our wedding. I am still blown away with how amazing Paula and Dan are, and how perfect and beautiful my photos along with our wedding album came out. Price was extremely reasonable for everything you get! Paula does not waste one second of capturing your special day! She also assisted in our wedding rehearsal, which was not an easy task, seeing how our wedding party was a very rowdy crowd. But nonetheless, she got all of us the same page and captured the most amazing pictures. She also gets the most beautiful, real and raw candids. I have been with my now husband for 9 years and never saw him cry, and thanks to Paula I have documented proof to remember forever!!! Thank you Paula and Dan for everything from the bottom of my heart!!!!!!
Paula and her husband Dan were the best wedding photographers we could have hoped for! They are super fun, make everyone comfortable in front of the camera, and went above and beyond what we paid for for our wedding! The pictures came out beautifully and in only a few weeks! I definitely recommend Paula and plan on using her for future shoots (her newborn portraits are absolutely adorable).
We are so happy that Paula was our wedding photographer! We initially chose her because we were impressed by her online portfolio. She has a great eye for composition, and we liked her use of color and silhouette. We sincerely appreciate the amount of time that Paula and Dan spent with us before the wedding discussing our preferences and what to expect. On our wedding day, Paula was great to work with and she kept everyone smiling. From corralling family members for formal shots, to keeping up with us on the dance floor, she made everything run smoothly.
We could not be happier with the photographs Paula took at our wedding. She beautifully captured the moments of our special day with professionalism, good humor, and an amazing attention to detail.
Paula is absolutely amazing! From start to finish, she was able to make everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, find everyone's best angles, and truly felt like a friend. The memories she captured are breathtaking and we were blown away with the different techniques she used to create such amazing photos. I can't recommend Paula enough!
We met Paula in late 2019 at a wedding expo in Bolton, CT and immediately fell in love with her work. We were planning a long engagement and booked her not long after we met her for our June 2022 wedding. Taking our engagement pictures was one of our favorite days during our engagement. We are a couple who doesn’t really know how to take a great picture together but Paula hyped us up and knew exactly how to pose us. She was so much fun to work with. We loved how our engagement pictures turned out! We spent about two and a half years following her work on social media and between seeing the photos that she posted and our own engagement pictures, we knew that we had hired one of the best photographers out there. We were not prepared to be truly blown away with how amazing our own wedding photos came out. We can’t stop looking at them and we have so many favorites that we really don’t know how we are going to choose which ones to display in our home.
While we were wedding planning, one thing that we heard over and over again was that you really want to love the vendors that you hire. After our engagement session, there was no doubt that we had made the right choice. Leading up to our wedding, Paula answered any questions we had, helped us with our timeline, and recommended our incredible videographer. On our wedding day, we spent the same amount of time, if not more time with Paula and Dan (her second shooter) than we did with our bridal party. They were such a big part of our day and felt like an extension to our bridal party with how funny and personable they are. Our pictures are of us but our memories include them. We could not have asked for a better photographer team. So many people at our wedding commented at how much they liked our photographer and we will always recommend them!
Paula and her husband were absolutely amazing to work with! From the moment she walked in the door she was so easy to talk to, understanding and had the most wonderful energy! She got right down on the floor and started taking pictures of my rings and decor without me even having to lift a finger. She made my day stress free with her calm demeanor and helpful advice. I truly could not have asked for a better person to work with. My husband and I are so grateful she made the day so smooth and our guests couldn't stop talking about not only the beautiful pictures, but how great Paula was each step of the way! Thank you so much! 🤍
Paula and her husband were just amazing! They listened to our wants and needs, accommodated our family dynamics, and had a beautiful vision. They delivered such outstanding pictures! Working so hard to make the day special, memorable, and following up weeks later to make sure we received everything we desired. Thank you Paula and Dan!!!
There are few people who pour as much heart and soul into their work, as Dan and Paula do. My wife and I worked with Luz Photography for both our engagement and wedding shoots. The pictures are absolutely stunning and really capture the characters of everyone there. They really take their time to research and plan, and then take even more time capturing the perfect shots and angles. I hate getting my picture taken, and so does my wife, but we had FUN thanks to Paula and Dan (and we look good too 😉). The best thing for me is how happy my wife gets looking back at the pictures. Worth every penny and then more.
Paula and Dan are amazing! They did both our engagement shoot and our wedding and I could not be happier with how things turned out.
From the very beginning, Paula and Dan have been extremely helpful and accommodating. They helped us pick out the best package for us and helped us customize it to fit our wants and needs. They were very thorough, asking us about the vision we had for our wedding and through our conversations, Paula and Dan were able to capture who my husband and I were in every picture they took.
Before the wedding, Paula helped me plan the day and scheduled where she and Dan would be at what time, both of them traveling to multiple locations to take pictures of me, the bridesmaids, and the groom and groomsmen. It was so relieving to know how the day was going to go and knowing that we would get all the pictures we desired.
On the day of the wedding, Paula and Dan were wonderful. Even though the weather was less than desirable (we had quite a few rain showers throughout the day), they were able to make everything work and come out beautiful. They were able to take all the pictures very quickly without it feeling rushed at all AND we were able to enjoy the day with our family and friends. They were also very diligent and accommodating when it came to taking the obscene amount of formal wedding pictures I asked for. They never questioned anything we asked for. They made sure that they could do everything in their power to do everything we wanted.
My favorite parts about having them as photographers were
1. how comfortable they made us feel all day. Even though we are extremely shy around a camera, both my husband and I were not nervous or anxious about taking the pictures or how they would turn out
2. how smoothly the day went while they captured every moment. We did not feel like we had cameras in our face at any point and we got to truly enjoy our day without feeling pushed around or forced to do something before we were ready. We had more than enough time to interact with all of our guests while still having pictures taken.
Overall, I am elated to have had Paula and Dan from Luz Photography be our wedding photographers. They made our day feel even more special and magical AND the pictures came out extremely wonderful. I would HIGHLY recommend Luz Photography for everyone, especially anyone who may not feel super comfortable in front of a camera.
Paula and Dan of Luz Photography were fantastic all the way from our engagement photos to the wedding. They spent so much time chatting about our vision and desires and budget and were so accommodating. On the day of the wedding, they went back and forth between the groom and bride's locations and kept us all on track! The pictures speak for themselves and are so beautiful. Paula is fantastic and has vision that I relied on to capture our day. Highly recommend this fun and talented couple!
