The Talented Photographer was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Alec's communication style was fun, professional, and incredibly personable. He had a true passion for his craft that shone through in every interaction. The quality of Alec's work was absolutely stunning - we got a wonderful variety of candids, formal shots, and editorial-style pictures that captured all the special moments of our day. Alec has an incredible eye for the right shots, and the final photos are absolutely gorgeous. Despite a complicated location schedule that I was worried about, Alec made the whole day seamless, traveling to over 4 different spots to ensure we got all the groupings and special shots we wanted. Alec truly went above and beyond, and we had such a great time working with him. I'm obsessed with the pictures and would give him an 11/10 rating!

Hi, I’m Connie—congratulations on your engagement. Thank you for being here and for considering me as your photographer.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

The timeline process was smooth & I was fortunate to have her come for our Rehearsal boat ride and get pre-wedding coverage of us together and with our guests. She brought the greatest second photographer, Morgan, & they were both a wonderful addition to our day. Their personalities make you feel like they’re fun, sweet guests and not just another vendor. Not to mention, our photos feel like they’re out of a movie! My husband & I already framed two of our sneak peeks and can’t wait for the rest of her beautiful photos!

We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful.

Hey there, I’m Lauren! I’m a wedding and boudoir photographer based in Grand Rapids, MI. I believe your photos should feel like you—natural, honest, and full of emotion. No stiff posing here—just real, unscripted moments that tell your story. I’ll help you feel confident and comfortable, whether it's your wedding day, a boudoir session, or a just-because adventure. Outside of photography, I’m usually hiking, doing Jiu-Jitsu, or traveling with my wife. Let’s create something timeless and unforgettable together!

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very first moment we connected with Lauren at the Wedding Expo at the Grand Rapids Public Museum, we knew we were placing the photographing of the biggest day of our lives in the most-capable hands. Her professionalism, warmth, and incredible eye for detail completely blew us away right from the start. What she delivered wasn't just a set of photos, it was a breathtaking, emotional time capsule of our engagement shoot and wedding day that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. There’s something truly special about a vendor who becomes more than just a part of your wedding team - someone who feels like a trusted friend. From the moment my wife and I connected with Lauren, we knew we had found someone exceptional. Throughout the entire journey leading up to our big day, Lauren was a steady, joyful, and deeply supportive presence. We first worked with her offically during our engagement shoot, and to say we were blown away would be an understatement. The photos were stunning! So beautifully composed, natural, and authentically us. That experience only amplified our excitement for what she would capture on our wedding day. Lauren’s turnaround time is nothing short of incredible. Despite her demanding schedule (a testament to how in-demand and talented she is), she delivered our photos with unbelievable speed and care. We’re still in awe of how quickly we were able to relive the magic of our day through her lens. Her prep work leading up to the wedding was flawless. Working seamlessly alongside our Day-Of Coordinator, Lauren helped us map out a photography timeline that not only made the day run smoothly but also allowed us to be fully present. Thanks to her thoughtful planning and attention to detail, our First Look and post-ceremony portraits unfolded effortlessly - a massive weight lifted off our shoulders. And then came the photos. Every single one radiates with emotion, artistry, and intention. Lauren didn’t just document our wedding, she told our story in the most breathtaking way. Her talent behind the camera is undeniable, but it’s her warmth, intuition, and joy that truly set her apart. If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only at the top of their craft but also brings a glowing, calming, and genuine energy to your wedding day, look no further than Lauren. We feel endlessly lucky to have had her by our side - and now in our hearts.

Hi! I'm Kayla - a traveling Milwaukee wedding photographer - and I'm going to make you cry. Wait, what? Don't worry, not in a bad way. Most of my couples say they cry when receiving their wedding photos from me for the first time. Five, ten, fifty years down the road when you open your wedding album, bet I'll get you again. You'll still be surrounded by your loved ones - remembering the happy tears and laughing until your belly hurts - just as you did on your wedding day.

We had an amazing experience working with Kayla for our wedding. From my first introduction to her it was clear that she is extremely organized and thinks of every detail. For our engagement shoot we gave her a few ideas of the direction we wanted to go, and she created an entire vision. We were nervous about being unnatural in front of the camera and she made us feel comfortable, relaxed, and gave us good directions! We are so thrilled with how our wedding day photos turned out. She captured our day so beautifully with our family and friends and we truly couldn't be happier with our photos! We will cherish these memories she captured for life.

From cinematic videography to swoon-worthy photography, epic DJ sets, seamless coordination, timeline planning, and even custom social media content, we do it all with flair, flexibility, and heart. Every package is handcrafted around your style, your story, and your budget—because no two love stories should look the same. We’re obsessed with getting every detail right and making you feel celebrated, not stressed.

Working with S&LM was pretty good. They communicated to me closer to the event, and asked me for everything they needed and more. The pictures I have seen so far look great, and the small video I have seen looked good as well. They made sure I got almost all of the specific photos I wanted, and had a take-charge attitude while photographing, and making sure everyone was in the right place and looking great! The DJs were pretty good, but didn't know all the specific songs we mentioned that we wanted played for certain dances/moments. They also didn't announce the first dance until they were hitting the play button, which threw our choreography off until we asked them to restart! Unfortunately, some people missed our dance because they didn't know that it was happening. It still worked out in the end, and all the right songs were played at the right moments. All in all, I would definitely recommend Lights & Sound Media to prospective couples.

2020 was a difficult year for many reasons, but weddings were especially tough to make happen in this calendar year. But what made it even more difficult was having to plan 2 different weddings. The first being a 10 month planned wedding in Joshua Tree, California, until we had to cancel it due to COVID in November a month before it was supposed to happen. My now husband and I scrambled to reset for a smaller ceremony in Illinois instead to allow at least his family to attend and have it at his sister's home in Huntley, IL. We only had one month to reset. One of the most important things for us was photography, and although we had spent most of our savings on the cancelled wedding and we had no hope in recovering most of that back or even soon enough to help with the 2nd wedding, we knew we had to put forth the money and make the right choice for a photographer to document our day as best as possible so that our love ones who couldn't make it could experience that day through the right lens. Justin Vaughn of JVaughn Photography LLC was the right lens and so much more! He worked very closely with us via online google meetings, with a minor setback, which was we couldn't have an in person engagement photo session with him (since we were based in Wyoming and wouldn't arrive in Illinois until closer to the ceremony). Justin prefers to complete an engagement photo session, which comes already included in a lot of his packages, before the wedding to get to know us as a couple and make sure we get the shots we prefer. However even without the engagement session, through our online meetings, we were able to discuss who we are and Justin had that personal touch as though we were talking to an old friend. We established the narrative and story telling that we hoped to have for the day. Justin took detailed notes and had a list of shots to take for the day. But his improvisation and artistic eye was also excellent and he captured moments that we had never thought of that were so beautiful and amazing. In addition to the photography he also did minor videography to provide us a highlight reel, which was beyond what we expected! Throughout the day he was also very much a ninja in capturing the right moments beautifully without obstructing the views of guests present. I would recommend him for any photography need, he truly is an artist that captures the moments you wanted and so much more!

They are truly dream photographers and it was truly an honor to have them capture our photos.

Phil and Andrea were married in May of 2007 and have two crazy fun and brilliant kiddos named Owen and Gwenna, (affectionately referred to as “crumsnatchers.”) When they aren’t hanging out with their awesome clients, taking photos or editing them, you can find them involved as a family at their church, sharing the holistic nutrition they love, going to a yoga class, grilling out, fixing up their 100 year old home, (there’s ALWAYS a project to complete), spending time outside with their kids or dreaming about the next camping trip they’ll take!

Phil and Andrea were amazing! They helped us feel so calm and collected on our wedding day. Photos from our engagement session turned out beautiful, can’t wait to see our wedding photos!
