The Bigger Picture Photography, Lisa Shaw

Wow, wow, wow, wow. I cannot recommend Lisa Shaw McKenzie enough. I personally was lucky enough to shoot with Lisa twice, once on my own and then again at my recent wedding. My email chain with Lisa is something like 60 emails long, and that should tell you something about how committed, detail-oriented, and communicative she is. She dealt with my scattered bride brain for months with the utmost professionally and accommodation, and I am so grateful to her for that. She is truly wonderful. Lisa made everyone at our wedding feel so comfortable, and her eye is unmatched. She's an artist, and such a lovely person to boot. My husband Jake and I did private vows during our first look, and at first I was nervous to have a photographer there, but then I met Lisa. Lisa made us so comfortable that it was easy. We hardly even knew she was there at times throughout the day - so I know she got all the best shots of us in our most natural states. Lisa bonded so well with our wedding party and she added an element of fun and enjoyment to our day. She even made our eons-long family photo shoot feel fun and efficient. We could not be happier with our choice of Lisa as our photographer, and I would recommend her 10 times out of 10. I know our photos will gorgeous and different - not at all the same old wedding photos we've all seen time and time again. Lisa, thank you for your amazing services and for making our day so special! We are so grateful to you. Love, Jake and Kirstin Birkhaug

Lisa, is very laid back. Will, take photos that you'll love for sure! They are bright and memorable. Smiles and laughs. Love lisa would recommend her to another!

Lisa was an amazing photographer! She captured all the moments we hoped to have and we will cherish them forever. She has a wonderful mixture of candid and posed shots. Me and my husband are not "picture people" and Lisa made the whole process so comfortable and natural, which translates to amazing pictures. She took the time to understand what we wanted from our day and worked with us to make it happen. She was professional, responsive, and super fun to have at a wedding. You will absolutely be happy with your choice to hire her for any wedding photography needs.

Working with Lisa was one of the highlights of our entire wedding experience! We used her for both our engagement photos and day of wedding photos. The pictures she captured were so stunningly beautiful, we love them! Her style is very professional and unobtrusive, which really helped a bride who doesn't prefer being in photos. She is an absolute joy to be around and so incredibly responsive. We will definitely use her to capture our important moments in the future, and we cannot recommend her highly enough!!

I absolutely love the preview pictures that we have gotten so far! Lisa was very easy to work with and really took the time to get to know us and what we wanted before the wedding date. Her expertise actually helped me plan the day of and how things would flow. I highly recommend Lisa Shaw for your wedding photographer. She is amazing!

Stunning photos of our 25th Wedding Anniversary Vow Renewal on October 5, 2019! I would hire Lisa again in a heartbeat. She captured who we are and our love for one another perfectly. I love every photo she took! Personally, I have never liked having my picture taken but with Lisa that all changed. We had a blast! Lisa is professional yet so relatable. She's fun and makes it all seem so effortless. If you hire Lisa, I promise you will not be disappointed. The final product is so amazing that it looks like it's straight out of a magazine spread. When I saw Lisa's work, I thought we could never afford her services. That just wasn't true. She had so many options that I am certain you could find one to fit your needs. Don't skimp on the budget for photos on your special day. We all put too much time, money and love into preparing for that moment so why not hire the best to capture it forever in a photo! Hire Lisa at The Bigger Picture Photography today, you'll be glad you did. We were able to view our pictures even sooner than expected which is a bonus! I was so excited when I received the link from Lisa that I immediately called out to my family to come quickly so we could see them together! After we viewed them as a family, I looked through all the photos four more times that night before going to sleep. I still cannot stop looking at them! We are ordering an album to forever enjoy our absolute favorite portraits from that day. Plus a large wall portrait of the two of us as well as a large family portrait. I got everything I had hoped for and more!!! You can too!

Lisa did an absolutely amazing job on out wedding pictures. I couldn't have asked for them to be more perfect. They were absolutely breathtaking. She was professional and communicative and all around amazing!

Working with Lisa was the best decision we made. She is so creative! Our engagement and wedding pictures were unique, fun and flawless. She was a blast to work with and we couldn't be happier with the results. She's very friendly, easy going person and working with her was so much fun. She has such a great eye and will find that shot you didn't know you had in you. Very easy to work with and open to ideas to incorporate to make any session perfect. We are beyond thrilled with the quality and the attention to detail she put into them. She’s beyond to make sure you are happy. She captured all of our important moments beautifully, and her artistic range really showed in her ability to take stunning pictures of our venue's scenery, our ceremony, and all of us moving on the dance floor! Her work is unique, romantic, stylish, and authentic-she truly captured all the love and beauty of our day.

I could write pages about how amazing our experience was with Lisa, but since there are word limits on these reviews I had to write a "short" version. ;) Trust me when I say - Lisa is AMAZING. You will not regret hiring her, and when your wedding is over you’ll realize all the things that would’ve gone wrong without her guidance. If you are looking for a photographer to truly DOCUMENT your day, Lisa is the photographer for you. The little glances, the toss-your-head-back laughs, the tears in the eyes… Lisa somehow captures all of these moments without you realizing she’s there. She also does some “traditional” photos (ex: family pictures in the church) so you get the best of both worlds – candid, in-the-moment, artistic shots and traditional, posed shots that your parents and grandparents love to hang on the wall. Here are some of the things we loved about Lisa: *She truly is a wonderful person - SO easy to talk to and instantly makes you feel like a close friend. *She always answered e-mails promptly, and when we set up phone consultations she called exactly when she said she would. Lisa is very reliable and easy to communicate with (even if you live out of town like we do). *She gave a lot of awesome suggestions that helped us plan our wedding, but wasn't pushy at all. We ended up taking her suggestions and we are so thankful! I can honestly say our wedding timeline felt perfect, and Lisa was instrumental in planning it. *She wasn't just a photographer to us - she was also a wedding planner and a calming presence (reminding us to enjoy the moment, relax, breathe, etc). It's easy to get lost in the details when planning a wedding, but Lisa reminded us to have fun and made it easy to enjoy the day. *Lisa is incredibly organized - many of our family members commented on how organized she was, and how much they appreciated it. Family pictures were a breeze! *I hate getting my picture taken, but Lisa made the engagement photos and wedding photos easy. We didn't even notice she was there 95% of the time. No awkward poses and cheesy smiles... just the two of us having fun while she took pictures. *Let me tell you, Lisa's pictures are gorgeous. She posted a preview of our wedding photos on Facebook and I had multiple people tell me they were the best wedding pictures they'd ever seen. Everyone loved the special moments she caught on camera: my now-husband giving me a little smirk during the ceremony, my dad crying when he saw me for the first time, the 2 year old flower girl stopping to talk to her grandpa while she walked down the aisle, and so many more. *Lisa goes above and beyond to be helpful, even if it isn't related to wedding planning/photos. We told her about our plans to go to Hawaii for our honeymoon and she's given us lots of tips (since she used to live in Maui). I guess she's part-time vacation planner too! I really could go on and on about how wonderful Lisa is. If you're struggling to choose a photographer, just look at her reviews, and then look at her responses. So much positivity! Lisa is someone who makes your day brighter because of her kindness. We all know that weddings are stressful, so why not hire a photographer who makes you feel great and is fun to hang out with? It's a no brainer! THANK YOU Lisa for everything you've done for us - before, during, and now after our wedding. I'm so happy we found your page on The Knot! Looking forward to catching up soon and getting Maui food recommendations. :)

Lisa's really personable and easy to talk to. The pictures turned out great. We love them! Lisa made us feel relaxed when we took our engagement and wedding photos. We didn't have to pose or worry about the camera. We'll definitely choose Lisa again for future photo needs.

Lisa was one of my favorite vendors to work with throughout all of the wedding planning we did. She was so quick to respond to every question that came up, and helped out so much with suggestions and recommendations. We just got our preview back, and I am obsessed with how amazing every single picture turned out - Lisa is AMAZING at what she does!!

I cannot recommend The Bigger Picture photography enough. Working with Lisa was the one of the easiest parts of my wedding process. She was incredibly flexible and accommodating of a busy schedule, and she was really fun to work with! She is very responsive and answered all the questions I had throughout the process. Both our engagement session and wedding were no less than 100 degrees Fahrenheit, but Lisa perfectly captured all of the love we felt and fun we had on those days. Her photo-journal style of photography really allowed my husband and I to really be ourselves while she documented the day. She has an eye for great shots. She also was really great about capturing shots we saw on Pinterest and wanted to attempt. In addition to the amazing photos, Lisa was a great person to have around on my wedding day. She was a calming presence on what turned out to be a chaotic day full of drunk bridesmaids and A LOT of competing family personalities. She captured the best of everything, and I'm so thankful she was there!

Lisa was more than AMAZING! Nothing about my wedding was easy! She made things so simple for me and kept me informed (and reassured everything was gonna be just fine when I was not so sure it was) Lisa kept in contact with me the entire time! From the moment she stepped into the crazy boathouse we were all getting ready at, she was like family! I gave her very little direction of what I wanted, but she somehow just knew! She is GREAT at what she does and I would highly recommend her for any sort of photography needs.

Lisa was great. The pictures came out fantastic and she was very easy to work with. Having a great photographer for our wedding day was one of the most important things on our list, and we were extremely satisfied with Lisa.

Lisa and The Bigger Picture Photography are amazing! Having a great photographer for our wedding was my number one priority. I am so incredible happy with how it turned out. Lisa makes everything so easy, she was a perfect fit for us. She is friendly and upbeat while being professional and staying on task. We can't recommend her enough!

I knew that Lisa and I were going to get along from the very first consultation. She is warm, funny and easy to talk to. The day of the wedding she was just as much fun! The thing that drew me to choose The Bigger Picture was her documentary style of photography. I do wish that we would have gotten more posed pictures with myself and the bridesmaids but we were limited on time. Our videographer also struggled to get some shots because she moved around so frequently but other than that, I would highly recommend! We can't wait to see our finished products!

Lisa was absolutely phenomenal. She was very patient with our children (have you ever asked 3 kids to sit still for a photo? Exactly!), and also blended into the environment very well. Honestly, most of the time I forgot she was there, which is a great thing. We got our preview back very quickly, and our pictures were completely finished in a very reasonable amount of time. I will recommend The Bigger Picture to anyone who needs a photographer

Lisa was amazing! She was organized and professional, but she was so fun to work with! Everyone felt so comfortable with her and the photos turned out great!

Just got our full album of images. AMAZING!

Having Lisa photograph our wedding was the best decision we could have possibly made! From the day we met her for our engagement session to the final picture she took at our wedding, she took the time to get to know us and what we were hoping to capture through photographs. Her calm demeanor and sense of humor combined with her artistic talent created the perfect mix. We had so much fun working with her! She interacted with such joy with everyone at our wedding and her photographs reflect that. They tell the story in vivid detail, beautifully capturing the happiest day of our lives. We are forever grateful!

When Beth and I started looking for a photographer for our wedding, I knew that I wanted someone who could see the big picture of the composition, not just the portraits of the people in the pictures. I also wanted the photographer to be assertive (because we have a large combined family), nurturing and kind (because we HATE having photos taken), and someone who would know when to listen to our requests and also know when to make some of the decisions based on their experience. Miraculously, we found such a person in Lisa. Our engagement photos took place at our home. Lisa was great with our barky dogs and quickly made us feel at ease. Laughter and sincerity were both present during the photo shoot and were reflected in the photos. This “magic” continued to our wedding day. Lisa was able to roll with the changing weather and the close to 50 family members who all needed to be corralled. Lisa was able to capture our day in a way that told our story through candid photos and images that radiated love. I would recommend Lisa to anyone who is looking for a photographer who has an artistic flair, a bigger picture perspective, and the flexibility to capture magic whatever the day may bring.

Your photos were amazing,. The direction you gave everyone for the photos was well needed and awesome as our family is very big, loud, and at times hard of hearing/taking direction. I cannot wait to see the rest of the photos and I am interested in booking you for my wedding!

Lisa captured some great moments at my best friends wedding. She was very professional and patient with the large wedding party. She really captured the love and the personalities of both the bride and the groom. I would definitely recommend.

Lisa is so great! She did our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos. She's not afraid to pose you if needed and she always caught the light just right. I'm so happy with how she was able to truly capture the emotion on the day of our wedding. Especially because I didn't even notice she was there! I'd recommend her to anyone. She's professional, available by email, answered my 1,000 questions I of course had. We've worked with several other photographers getting family photos done and she is by far the best we've worked with. And now the only one we'll work with :)

Lisa was incredible to work with for my best friends wedding! Very professional, but made sure we all had a great time.

Lisa is an absolute gem! She made my husband and I feel so comfortable, relaxed, and organized throughout all the chaos that comes with a wedding! Lisa is kind, creative, and respectful. We received so many great shots! She honestly felt like a part of our family with the amount of support and love she expressed. She captured our truest moments and has a great eye for detail. Posed photos can get old, so it was great to have the photojournalism style to our candid photos. Lisa communicated with us every step of the wedding process and we were thrilled she provided us with a suggested timeline. It truly kept the entire wedding party organized! Planning a wedding from down south was a challenge but Lisa made it so smooth! We are forever grateful that she was there to capture one of the happiest moments of our lives!

Lisa is such a lovely person. She was the first and only photographer we met while planning our wedding. We selected a package that included an engagement session, and that really helped my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera. She has a photojournalistic style where many photos are candid, but she gave direction and ideas for poses to get started. The engagement pictures were well done but I wasn't so pleased with how I looked in them, so having the engagement session as a "trial" really helped me be more aware of how I smiled and composed myself for our wedding day pics. Our wedding pics were phenomenal. I loved how both myself and my husband looked in them, and even some family members who are not particularly photogenic looked great in them! The posed family pictures were just as good as the organic, observed moments she captured. She managed to turn personal, trivial exchanges into beautiful snapshots, such as when my husband was showing me a cut on his hand, or when our nephew was touching the embroidery on my dress. We also have an aunt that is the "designated photographer" at family events with her own camera, and Lisa handled that with grace and professionalism. Our aunt kept setting up shots and telling people to get together and pose during the reception, and I noticed Lisa would take the opportunity to snap photos of other people enjoying themselves, or taking ring detail shots instead. She was very prompt and responsive to emails or texts, and was always professional, very easy going, and sweet. I did not enjoy wedding planning, and she made the photography part of planning very easy to manage. I would've preferred to have a more low-key, private celebration, but ultimately decided to have a wedding because my husband wanted one and for our families to enjoy. When we got the sneak peek from Lisa, I was so pleased with how they came out that it made me feel like the wedding was worth it. We are not a physically affectionate couple but many friends and family said they were able to see the love captured in the photos. I highly recommend Lisa and believe her work rivals other wedding photographers with much higher starting price points. She's definitely an artist that also photographs weddings -- she knows her stuff.

Lisa did a nice job with our photos!

Lisa provided us with a lot of unique and artistic shots from our wedding day. She did a great job of using the varied setting of our venue to give us many different backgrounds for our photos. Turn around time was quick for product delivery. Having a second shooter was also great to capture different perspectives.

Lisa did a great job on our wedding day. We had a unique set-up and she was able to cover all of it.

So happy with our pictures and with Lisa. She was so easy to work with and helped us both relax and be comfortable. We have gotten so many compliments on how beautiful the pictures turned out and how perfectly they captured our personalities.

Lisa was phenomenal! From our first phone call, she was the ultimate professional. She returned any phone call or email quickly. She is incredibly warm and funny. She made us feel at ease when we were both nervous and reluctant to be photographed on our wedding day. Her work is the best. She captured every moment for us in such wonderful pictures. We couldn't have been happier with all of the photographs. Her unique eye for capturing special moments made our pictures one of a kind. We would recommend her to anyone. We just loved her and our pictures!

I loved Lisa! I am not a very photogenic person, but she made me feel comfortable the entire time. The pictures were fantastic. I would recommend The Bigger Picture Photography to anyone!!!

Words can't express how happy I am with The Bigger Picture Photography. When I look at the photos, I'm overwhelmed with all the amazing emotions I felt that day - the love, joy, happiness and pure bliss of marrying my best friend at Michigan Stadium (our favourite place on earth) in the presence of our closest family and friends. Our wedding was truly the best day of our lives and Lisa captured every moment as no one else could. I am so grateful for her and would recommend her to anyone!

Lisa is a great photographer. She always had a great personality and vision towards getting the very best pictures. She definitely went the extra mile to make our big day very memorable. All of her pictures she took at our wedding were very crisp and clean. I highly recommend her to anybody for quality memories at any occasion.

Lisa is amazing! I loved her unique ability to capture my wedding. I knew I had to have her as soon as I saw her wedding pictures and I'm so glad I got her. She responded so fast to any email or phone call which is so nice when you're planning a wedding. I get endless compliments about my pictures. I would definitely recommend anyone looking for those classic wedding photos but also wants unique and edgy ones to go with Lisa!

Lisa was amazing from start to finish, especially considering the long day that lasted 12 hours from start to finish. She had every detail planned out ahead of time and executed flawlessly across multiple locations. I would recommend her for your wedding without question.

Creative, talented, unique. Best decision I've ever made. Our pictures our priceless and one-of-a-kind. Nothing cookie cutter. Seriously worth every penny. Lisa was a breath of fresh air to work with and I am 100% satisfied with how everything turned out.

Lisa did a great job with our wedding pictures. We wanted more of a photojournalism-style picture set and Lisa definitely delivered. She did a great job taking us around town and setting up interesting backgrounds for our pictures.

The Bigger Picture was everything we were looking for in photography services. Photography was a large part of our overall budget for our small wedding but it really appears you get what you pay for. Lisa is a talented artist and her style was exactly what we had envisioned. She worked with us to get what we wanted within our budget. I would love to hire her in the future for portraits of our family.

Lisa was amazing right from the beginning. She was prompt, professional, fun and energetic. I was looking for a photographer to capture the candid moments and Lisa really nailed it - I am in love with our wedding pictures!

We were very happy with The Bigger Picture Photography! Lisa was really easygoing and great to work with. Everyone who has seen our pictures raves about how beautiful they are, and even the posed pictures with the family look natural.

When we were planning our simple, low key wedding, several of my married friends said "Whatever you do, get a good photographer. The pictures are the only thing that lasts." I'm so glad I took their advice and went with the Bigger Picture Photography. Lisa was so great to work with. We live on the other side of the state so we didn't get to meet ahead of time (just coordinated everything on the phone), but in no time I felt comfortable and felt she "got" us. She has a great eye for angles and color, and you can tell she's passionate about what she does. Also, as someone who hates her posed smile, Lisa's style really worked for me. Our pictures are natural and our smiles are genuine. We love our pictures, and we're so glad we went with The Bigger Picture Photography.

We honestly couldn't be happier with our decision to hire Lisa as our wedding photographer. From our first meeting with her to our final consult learing up to the wedding, Lisa was so patient with us and was a huge help in our overall wedding planning. Because of her experience, she had great insight for things to consider well beyond photography. Rather than a simple business transaction, she develops relationships with her clients, making it that much more enjoyable for all parties. Not to mention - most importantly - she is an extremely talented photographer. She met each and every one of our requests and exceeded all of our expectations! If you're looking for a fantastic photographer and a great person, give Lisa at the Bigger Picture a call.

I have nothing but good things to say about Lisa, she is professional, great at her craft and very organized. I used her for both my engagement and wedding pictures and I get compliments on them all the time. She took our ideas and brought them to life and I couldn't be more pleased with the quality of the pictures and the overall service. I highly recommend her services!

Lisa was extremely easy to work with! She did a fantastic job listening to the ideas I had and then putting her unique spin on them. I did a large search for the best photographer in Grand Rapids & think I truly got that with Lisa. My husband was only interested in candid shots & Lisa was able to capture them in a tasteful way. We did not spend our entire evening posing & we had a blast with Lisa!

My partner found Lisa Shaw online in our search for a gay-friendly photographer. She was willing to put together a custom package for us at a reasonably low price that include just 5 hours of coverage the day of and printing rights with a DVD of the photos. We got our final photo DVD about a month after the ceremony. She was respectful of us and the rules of our church regarding photography. She was not obnoxious and did not do a lot of posing and people placement. The few portrait style photos that were taken were fantastic - definitely the best portraits of us that I've seen. Her style is more photojournalistic though, and she is very good at taking photos of real moments, unobtrusively. She was nearly invisible to us and did not inconvenience us or our guests at all. The only thing that missed my expectations in any way (and it's pretty minor) was that the finished photos only included a single photo of our kiss at the end of our ceremony, and even that one photo was a bit blurry. I can only figure it caught her off guard somehow although it was basically in the same spot in our ceremony as any other. Thanks Lisa!

Lisa photographed our wedding and we could not be happier! She was amazing! She made us feel so comfortable. Which is quite a feat, seeing as my wife HATES getting her photo taken! She gave good, clear directions, managed time well and the photos came out so BEAUTIFUL! They far exceeded our expectations! Beside having fantastic photos to remember the day, it was such a joy to have Lisa around all day. She even danced with us for a bit until she said she needed to get home to download the photos so that nothing could possible get lost. :-) She was very thorough and the turn around time was quick. We would reccommend her to anyone! Especially if you're a same sex couple looking for a photographer in West Michigan...it can be a tough place to find a photographer that will be comfortable enough to make your photos gorgeous. She was absolutely perfect.

Lisa shot my sister-in laws wedding and min. She does awesome work, especially if you don't want cheesy posed pictures. She really captures the feel of the day.

We hired Lisa for our engagement session first, and immediately after the shoot decided to hire her for our wedding instead of choosing a local photographer (wedding was in the U.P.) which had been our original plan. Working with Lisa is AMAZING, she is so sweet and laid back, it was like hanging out with a friend that just happened to be taking our pictures. And the pictures... I don't have words to describe just how beautiful our engagement and wedding photos turned out, she is an expert at capturing wonderful moments on film, with unique angles and amazing color quality. She is the BEST, hands down. The only problem you'll have with Lisa's pictures is deciding which ones to print/display!!! ;-)

My wife and I are so happy with our engagement and wedding photos from The Bigger Picture! After our initial consultation, we knew we found a perfect fit. Lisa is very genuine and interested in learning about her clients. She quickly had a sense of who we were and what our wedding would be like. Her photos reflect a perfect blend of natural poses and candid shots that capture individual personalities. Her photo-journalism style was exactly what we were looking for. It was also very important to me to choose a photographer that was open and affirming of same-sex couples, and Lisa was the perfect choice. It meant a lot to me that Lisa understood my gender expression and ensured that this was reflected in the poses she designed. It was not something we ever discussed, which made the whole experience feel very natural. Overall, I would highly recommend The Bigger Picture to anyone. Once you see some of her work on her website, you will know why!

I am so glad that we chose Lisa Shaw. Her pictures, including our own and the others on her website, are the most beautiful engagement and wedding pictures I've seen. She is both professional and fun, which makes her great to work with. She captures beautiful images!

The first meeting was very easy and went well, Lisa, though based in Grand Rapids, came to the Detroit area for everything we wanted with no travel costs. (she will also go to Hawaii at no extra cost too!) The engagement session (1 hour) went well. Lisa sets up great shots but her best work is in capturing candid moments. She caught some things that we didn't even know we did! In prepping for the big day Lisa impressed upon us the need to stay on schedule leaving the impression of a bit of a time Nazi. However, starting in the morning when she and a partner showed up at our individual dressing rooms to take the "getting ready" photos it was like they were not even there. aside from the few necessary posed photos she caught every memorable moment of the day / night and never once pressed us on time. I know its our wedding and she works for us, I was very impressed by her patience with our 5yr old ring bearer and 3yr old flower girl. She gave great direction when needed and had a great eye at all other times. The most impressive thing to me was that she was essentially invisible all night. We got our preview photos within a week and the full discs soon after. After hearing wedding horror story's one after the other regarding pictures, My wife and I couldn't be happier with Lisa Shaw!... well, maybe had we been able to take advantage of the Hawaii thing! LOL

Meeting Lisa Shaw was a beautiful, beautiful thing. I immediately loved her and I felt like I had just met a new friend. Looking for a wedding photographer seemed daunting, and you get overwhelmed with sticker shock when seeing the prices of other photographers. Lisa and The Bigger Picture Photography were SO reasonable and I was thrilled to find out that there was an amazing photographer out there for brides-on-a-budget. And her work? Brilliant. She's beyond talented, creative, artistic and she's got an amazing eye for detail. And snaps her camera, capturing these beautiful moments going on during your day, when you're not even aware that she's there snapping the camera. My now-husband always "mocked" my posing-abilities. He was really looking for candid pictures and for pictures that were actually capturing the moment as they happened. And he loved, loved, loved Lisa's work in doing this. When we saw our engagement photos, we both looked at each other, beaming with these huge smiles. Lisa managed to capture "us"...she captured who we are, and really put together awesome photos that were like a storybook...every picture told a story, capturing an emotion, capturing a moment. And the absolute same thing rings true for our beautiful wedding day. And don't worry if you still like the posed photos and if you want those pictures too, especially with your wedding party and family...Lisa does a great mix of both. She'll provide you those posed photos, but she captures even those with a creative and unique edge, making them look artistic and beautiful. Her fun personality and awesome energy will be the first thing you notice, and you'll be so happy that you have someone like her with you on your special day. She's so professional and organized about every detail. Quite simply, she's the best and I would recommend her work to anyone and everyone who wants the best.
