Lyle is the absolute best!! He is so amazing to work with and he does stunning photos! Lyle captured every moment of our wedding perfectly and we can’t possibly thank him enough!
My husband and I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Lyle as our wedding photographer. From start to finish, he went above and beyond to capture our special...
day perfectly. It's evident that he is deeply passionate about his craft and genuinely cares about his clients. This care shines through in every interaction and every photograph he captures.
Lyle's work reflects the highest level of quality, with each photo expertly crafted to encapsulate each moment. His warm and welcoming demeanor made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. He took the time to meet with us on more than one occasion, to ensure that our vision was communicated for both the engagement photos and the wedding day, prompt questions for times when we were too overwhelmed to think of the details, and offer words of encouragement during the more stressful times. His patience and kindness made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. Both his photography skills and empathy truly set him apart.
We are so grateful for Lyle's talent, dedication, and unwavering commitment to making our day unforgettable. Without hesitation, we recommend Lyle to anyone in search of a wedding photographer, or photographer otherwise.
Thank you, Lyle, for playing such a large role in our special day and making it "picture perfect!"

hind the scenes, and I didn't even notice! He got some really cool shots (some candid, some planned). There was one photo I really liked but my hair had been caught by the wind from behind and it was standing straight up. He was able to retouch the photo for me and it's perfect. His communication was excellent. If you're looking for a photographer and wondering if Lyle is the one, I would say pull the trigger! He's awesome.

osing. Lyle continued to work with us every step of the way, and when we rescheduled, he made sure that he did everything he could to make it a wonderful and perfect day for us.
His skills are second to none, but my favorite thing about Lyle is his personality. He was NEVER pushy, always open to our ideas and suggestions, and never wasted a second of our time. He was always smiling and happy, and had fantastic ideas for pictures. He captured some moments that I’ll treasure for the rest of my life. If you need a wedding photographer, I absolutely recommend him. He’ll do everything he can to make your day even more perfect for you!

the reception and get some couple and family shots, which turned out amazing! He caught some hilarious moments during the reception and also did a great job catching all of the mandatory family/room setup/special dance shots/etc. He was great with both directing us in poses and obliging us when we wanted a jump shot or another shot with a different group. We had so much fun with him and he did such an amazing job!

We had over 300 people at the wedding and he was able to get so many shots of the guests which I am so thankful for because I don't remember half the people who were there. He is amazing and I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to capture our special day.

my special day! When the day of the wedding came, he was the same as I remember! The second shooter that he hired was also fantastic! The day was a breeze and he captured everything I asked, and did not leave until I was happy with everything! The turn around was also FANTASTIC!! I now have over 800 images that perfectly captured everything about the day! I would recommend Lyle to anyone, whether it is weddings or family pictures to anything else in between! I hope to use him for all of my photography needs for years to come!! Thank you Lyle!!
