We cannot recommend Mary and Emily enough! From the moment we met them, they brought such great energy and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. They did an incredible job guiding us through poses and shots while still making everything feel natural and fun. Not only are they incredibly talented, but they were also such a joy to be around on our wedding day. They fit right in with our family and friends, kept the atmosphere relaxed, and helped make the entire experience even more enjoyable. And the photos are absolutely stunning. They captured every special moment beautifully, and we are beyond grateful to have these memories preserved so perfectly. We were also amazed by how quickly they delivered our gallery! If you’re looking for photographers who are professional, fun, organized, and exceptionally talented, look no further. We are so thankful we chose them and will cherish these photos forever.

Lyons Media Production were absolutely phenomenal to work with from start to finish. They were always professional, prepared, communicative, and friendly! They listened to our vision and gave great direction and creative ideas as well. On our wedding day, they brought such positive energy (even when it was super hot/sweaty outside) and they were my hype-women all day. We definitely recommend working with Lyons Media Production, you will not regret it! Thank you, Lyons Media Production, for beautifully capturing such a special day in our lives 🤍

We had a great experience with Lyons Media!!! Mary and Emily were nothing less of amazing! They both have great personalities and you can tell they love what they do. From the firs...
t initial call and every single detail and what our expectations were. The type of lighting, angle, and shooting we expected to have and get. They covered it all. They were very detail oriented and organized. We also did our engagement shoot with them as well and it took our breath away too. They are both great individuals. Emily and Mary make a wonderful team and are super fun to work with. They help you with ideas and always want to know your inspiration ideas. From the moment they walked in to start shooting the morning of our wedding they were on top of it all getting every shot at every angle and we could not of been more impressed with their work. Browse their website, look at their gallery and their channel on you tube. Their work speaks volume for itself. They are also very reasonable and quick with timing on getting your photos and videos back to you. Book with them!! They are worth every penny spent. Thank you Mary & Emily for making our special day even more special with the outstanding work you do. We had so much fun!! Tasha+Kevin

econd, and somehow managed to capture moments I didn’t even realize were happening. Our photos are EVERYTHING. Like Pinterest-level dream vibes but still totally us. If you’re debating who to hire for your wedding… this is your sign. Hire them and don’t look back.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Lyons Media! Mary and Emily were absolutely amazing—not only on our wedding day but throughout the entire planning process. ...
They were incredibly professional, yet so warm and supportive, making me feel truly beautiful and at ease. Mary was the ultimate hype girl and made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera! They captured every important moment perfectly while never being intrusive. The final video was breathtaking—so much so that we immediately hired them to create a second one just to see more of their stunning work! I can’t imagine having anyone else capture such a special day. If you’re looking for a wedding videographer, look no further. I cannot recommend them enough!
