MARILYN IS INCREDIBLE. She is thoughtful, intentional, calm, detail oriented, sweet, fun, creative, talented, and everything you want your wedding photographer to be. Jeremy is ama...
zing too and the two of them just "dance" together flawlessly. Not only did we get the most amazing pictures of our wedding day, but we had the most special moments because of them. TRUST IN THEM. When Marilyn says do something, I promise you she sees something from her expertise that you cannot from your position. She sees the sun, the wind, the shadows, the backdrop, the people passing, the colors, the memory that can be made, she sees it all and she cares. If you are considering booking her for your wedding day, stop, and book them now. YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS HAVING THIS DREAM TEAM CAPTURING YOUR SPECIAL DAY. Pinky promise. Those photos/videos that Marilyn and Jeremy took will be all I have of my wedding day one day. Theres no one else I would want to hold that responsibility..... and I don't even have my photos/videos back yet!!! I only have my sneak peaks. That's how wonderful they are.
Marilyn and Jeremy were so incredible. They somehow patiently wrangled our 22 person wedding party and got the most amazing pictures. I cannot even believe some of them are real!...
It looks like a beautiful movie-I may have cried a few times looking at the previews. We had a pretty ambitious list of photos we wanted and she made sure we smoothly got through them all. They captured all the fun and emotion of our day perfectly. The staged photos are stunning, the dancing and partying photos are so fun and gorgeous. Leading up to the day- Marilyn was always super responsive and helpful no matter what the question. She really listened and executed on our exact vision. One of the things that made me drawn to their photos when I was searching for a photographer was the broad range of styles she was able to nail. Photographers are by far the vendor you will spend the most time with on the actual day and I can recommend Marilyn and Jeremy as very lovely to be around in addition to their immense talent!
We will treasure our wedding photos forever. Words cannot describe how AMAZING Marilyn is with RLP. Her work is so creative and beyond beautiful. She is also such a beautiful perso...
n inside and out. You will be spending the most time with your photographer on your wedding day. We are so happy to spend our perfect day with her by our side. She captured the moments so we can look back on it. The day will go by so fast and all you will have left will be the memories and the pictures. Book her. You won’t regret it.
WHAT AN EYE!!! Marilyn was amazing, she made the day and was very patient and sweet! She took absolutely gorgeous photos and I never want anyone else to photograph my husband and I...
. She listened to what we wanted and she went above and beyond. We are so grateful she was available on short notice after cancelling our destination wedding. If you’re considering other photographers STOP! Hire Rising Lotus and you won’t be disappointed!
I feel like my appreciation and admiration for Marilyn and the Rising Lotus team can’t fully come across in an online review. She is an absolute joy to work with! She takes the tim...
e to get to know you as a couple and tries to capture what is special about you as individuals and as a couple in her photos. She created a super detailed timeline that helped us get all the photos we wanted in a timely fashion and stay right on track. She’s so kind and thoughtful with a lovely disposition that made spending all day with her fantastic. She knows when to step up and speak out to get the perfect shot while still being mindful of everyone’s needs and desires. Her artistic eye is remarkable and our photos (the ones we’ve received so far) are stunning!!! She is really wonderful at what she does and so diligent, working through the night just to get us our sneak peak. Also, special shout out to her assistant Asha for dealing with our groomsmen, she was a saint. Overall, I can’t be more thankful that we hired Marilyn and Rising Lotus for our wedding day and to look at our photos every single day!!!
Marilyn was amazing and very professional at all times. She was everything we could have asked for and more for a photographer! Extremely pleased with her service and we can't wait...
to see the rest of the pictures!
