Travis Lawton Photography

Travis is AMAZING if I could give him more than 5 stars I would!! HIRE HIM!!!!! Professional, patient, and clearly talented at what he does! Engagement Shoot - We had our Engagement shoot all the way out at Diablo Lake (one of the first hikes me and my hubs ever did together)... Read More not only did he drive all the way out there - but he tracked us down halfway around the lake when we realized that I hadn't specified an actual meet up location (totally my bad) beyond that it was beginning to rain and while it was putting me on edge, Travis kept his cool, wasn't trying to rush and took BEAUTIFUL photos of us that truly captured who we are as a couple. Between the Engagement shoot and Wedding: Flexible with payment schedules as we were pressed to try to get all of our payments done prior to the wedding, and always super responsive! He was hands down one of the best vendors we worked with. Wedding: First off let me say our wedding party and family situation was not particularly ideal. From the sneak peak photos i've seen, you would never have known that there was any tension or any stress. Travis was PATIENT even when I was not, he was courteous and On time - again even when we were running a bit behind. Another thing I noticed about Travis that I really appreciated, is that he wasn't there to just snap a camera, if he didn't like the branches on the ground, he cleared them out. It wasn't just about lining up and taking the photo, he was specific about locations and specific about lighting because he wants to truly wants to give the best. Okay, so now I'm going to say something a little weird- When it came time to the actual ceremony, as well as reception, I didn't know where he was- and I mean that in the ABSOLUTE BEST way possible! There wasn't a camera shoved into my face, he wasn't interrupting the flow of the day, or intruding on our guests good times, I would see him in one corner of the room one second, and a minute later in another, it seemed like he was always moving, and when it came time for our sunset photos he politely pulled us aside, and captured yet more beautiful images. Post Wedding: So we got married Last Saturday (yey) :P and already we have sneak peak photos! THEY ARE GORGEOUS, Clean and tasteful! They are true to Me and Chris which was really important to us, He got us in our best moments and gave us the keepsake of a lifetime, we are excited to say the least to see the rest! THANK YOU again Travis! I can't say it enough!

I don’t even know where to begin when describing our amazing experience with Travis. He flew to Maui for our wedding and captured the most amazing pictures that come to life every time I look back on them. The scenery was beautiful already, because it was Maui, but Travis made... Read More it look even more breathtaking than I thought imaginable. My husband and I both do not like our picture taken, and when we know it is being taken it makes us even more uncomfortable. We never felt this way with Travis. He had his own amazing ideas and poses already planned, but was also willing to listen if we had ideas. Travis also paid very close attention to all the details, shots of our wedding attire, rings, and the scenery. Most important to me however, was he was able to capture the raw emotion of the day in beautiful photos that I will forever cherish. I highly recommend Travis, as he is very professional but also takes the time to get to know the couple and the family for beautiful photographs.

We enjoyed working with Travis with our engagement and wedding photos. He listens to your ideas as well as coming up with his own ideas. His personality made it very easy to work with him. His style of photography was just what we were looking for, fun classy and creative. He... Read More went above and beyond our expectations. Even though our wedding is over, I enjoy looking at his photos of other weddings and his videography is amazing. He puts a lot of thought and detail in his projects and that's what you want when creating memories to last a lifetime. I hope you choose him for your wedding or any other kind of special day because you won't be disappointed.

We hired Travis after he photographed my best friends wedding. He went above and beyond my expectations in every category. Professional, quick to reply - AWESOME photos!, accommodating, and definitely worth every penny! He worked with us on finding a good day and time to... Read More capture our engagement photos (which were included in the package) in the setting we wanted (we got engaged in August, booked Travis in September and had our fall engagement photos taken in October!) he had me fill out a form of what types of photos (family, wedding party, getting ready, etc) were most important / we wanted a lot of. There was a spot to list out what family photos we wanted (bride/groom/bride mom, bride/groom/groom mom and so on and so forth) so when it came time for family photos that went so quick and easy. He and my wedding coordinator made every picture I had hoped for happen and more. He worked well and profession with my videographer as well - which is pretty important since they are both trying to capture the every moment. Our evening ran a little later than planned but he still stayed a little longer than his contract to get our pics of our farewell. I would highly recommend Travis to anyone and everyone one! You will not be disappointed

My husband and I got married in September and absolutely loved having Travis as our photographer! He captured so many special moments and provided us with hundreds of beautiful photos. On the day of our wedding Travis did an amazing job telling us how to pose and he made... Read More everything incredibly easy on such a crazy day! We highly recommend Travis as a wedding photographer!

Travis recently was our videographer for our wedding, and we absolutely loved working with him! We could tell from the first meeting that he was going to be great to work with. Very professional and responsive! When we received both our teaser video and the full video, we... Read More watched them on repeat :) We have received so many compliments from family and friends! Travis's videos captured the emotion of our day perfectly!

Remarkable. Choosing Travis was the best decision we made surrounding our whole event- Besides each other, of course! Travis eased the stress by listening to what I wanted, asking questions and setting up clear timelines. I had envisioned beautiful fall engagement photos, and... Read More Travis was very knowledgeable in local areas where there were some great landscapes to use as our backdrop. When I had questions about patterns and colors to wear for our engagement session, Travis very promptly responded with great information about what would be most flattering and what to avoid. For a novice like me, it was so helpful and relieved so much anxiety! When engagement shoot-day came, he needed us to be there at a certain time to capture the right light. So of course, we got caught in Seattle traffic and then on a draw bridge! I called him panicking (And thinking he’s be mad!) and he totally eased my fears and told me that we would make it work. He was right. Even though we were fighting nightfall, our photos turned out beautifully! As a matter of fact, our favorite shot (Now a canvas over our bed) was one of the very last photos we took which captured the changing sky. Just breathtaking! Travis had me fill out some special forms to help ensure that he could capture everything I had hoped and dreamed for our wedding day photos. I was able to list any special shots I wanted him to make sure of and identified special people that we needed to be sure we had these precious memories of. The day of the wedding went flawlessly. Travis had arranged for a second shooter so that we could have both side of the bridal party captured while we got ready. Now, I love seeing the photos of the men while they were preparing. It’s so fun to look back and see the time before the wedding when we weren’t together. They took care to use the requests I had made on their forms, and got every combination of photos I had requested for our obnoxiously large family. This was very important to me, so I was very thankful they prioritized it for me. One of my favorite things about having used Travis is how thoughtful he is with many special touches. Just before the wedding, when all of our stress was culminating and all of our balances started coming due, Travis sent us a beautiful letter with a coffee gift card, asking Don and I to take an hour to ourselves, just to be together, enjoy each other, and NOT talk about the wedding. During that time, we needed an excuse to just be together. THEN! After the wedding we had another surprise in the mail. Travis had some of his favorite shots from our wedding printed (Quite a few too!) and put into a handmade a hinged wooden box with our initials carved in the lid! You guys… I said he HANDMADE A WOODEN BOX! I mean, ?? I don’t even have words for how meaningful that was to us! Both our engagement photos and wedding photos were back to us before the deadline Travis had placed. The quality is BEUATIFUL. I have never been captured so well in my life. His professionalism and service was above and beyond my best expectations. Because of our great experience and how noticeable it was to everyone- my Maid of Honor is using him as her photographer for her wedding in August. Book Travis. Everything about your wedding is fleeting except for your marriage and your photographs. Make sure that you choose a photographer that can preserve your memories perfectly and show the legacy of your wedding. Travis does that. You will not regret it.
