About
I have had a passion for recording audio, making videos and taking photographs since I was in my early teens that led me to study film and aesthetics at Sonoma State University. I learned a great deal there from excellent teachers about how to observe and develop perception skills using both natural and flash lighting techniques to create emotionally moving results with my camera. I later trained at a video production center in Port Jefferson, Long Island, worked on the TV film crew at 510TV, co-founded Clear Light Video Productions, and had the opportunity to develop my video editing skills further with the professional staff at the East Bay Media Center in Berkeley, CA. Over my 25 years of experience with Clear Light Video Productions, I have developed a special skill in creating event slideshows and capturing slow motion moments, such as a wedding couple’s “first look” or sports live action. I also have a great deal of traditional videography and photography experience in video recording and photographing special events, small business promotional projects, legal depositions and corporation functions, as well as individual or group portraits and real estate shoots. As you can see from my profile, the wide range of events I have memorialized include: weddings, engagements, baby showers, birthdays, proms, funerals, memorials, anniversaries, fashion runway events, quinceañeras, sweet sixteen parties, retirement celebrations and corporate events, in addition to theatrical, musical, singing and dancing performances. I really enjoy using my audio visual skills and background to tell a story that captures the spirit and mood of celebrations. Knowing that I exceeded my clients’ expectations and that they feel happy and satisfied with my work motivates me in bringing a project to fruition. Clients also appreciate my creative can-do attitude and my great sense of humor that makes working with me more like having fun. I also relish the empowering process of establishing good two way communication before, during and after each event so that project requirements get shared and met. Continuous photographic coverage for the amount of hours needed. Hi-resolution JPEG files that you will be able to print (no water markings). Retouching & editing on all images. Before I start on a project, I therefore aim to make sure my clients and I understand each other thoroughly and that I've earned their trust so that they can relax and enjoy their special events knowing they are in good and responsible hands. Your welcome to Contact me today to discuss your project. Also have been twice vaccinated for COVID and Booster as of Dec 2021

We hired Lawrence for our wedding and he was amazing. He was punctual, flexible with last minute changes and his work was flawless. The turn around time for our photos was quicker than we expected and he managed to capture our best moments of the day. He gave great suggestions and was willing to work with all of our quirky requests. We would absolutely hire him again and again.

Lawrence was very receptive to our ideas and followed through as agreed. He created a beautiful highlight video and a full length video which both captured our wedding ceremony and celebration as we had hoped. He was very prompt in responding to communications and in sending us the final product. We are so glad we chose to add videography in addition to photography to our wedding memories.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Lawrence for a photo shoot, and I was thoroughly impressed. He’s a fantastic photographer with real talent and professionalism. The entire shoot was enjoyable and comfortable - Lawrence made the experience great from start to finish. The photos turned out amazing and exceeded my expectations. His eye for capturing great shots and attention to quality really shows in the final results. I would definitely love to work with Lawrence again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for excellent photography services.
