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

Lawrence was responsive and professional from the very beginning. Super easy to coordinate with. He was flexible with our needs and did wonderful work taping our band’s performance. Lawrence took some really awesome photos we can use on social media as well to help get our band’s name out there. I plan to reach out to him again to document upcoming shows. Lawrence works hard and takes pride in his craft. Highly recommend him!

I was very pleased with Lawrence's work. He did double duty for my wedding - taking both photos and videos. He was also flexible by taking additional creative shots at a second location after the wedding. He was patient and artistic in instructing us on various poses to take in the beauty of the architectural surroundings and our blissful event. I highly recommend Lawrence as both a photographer and a videographer.

Lawrence was very responsive to my inquiry and answered all my questions in a timely manner. At the site, my back garden, he arrived early in order to set up, found an attractive and appropriate spot for the shoot, was cordial with all my family and grand kids. The photos turned out well and I am very happy that I hired Lawrence for my family shoot.

Lawrence was absolutely incredible, exceeding all our expectations from the very beginning to the end. As the photographer for our wedding, he demonstrated exceptional professionalism and creativity. Prior to the event, Lawrence proactively engaged with us, sharing his innovative ideas and ensuring he understood our vision. One of his brilliant suggestions was to capture our ceremony and toasts on video, an addition we hadn't considered but now cherish deeply. Thanks to Lawrence's foresight, we have a precious recording that we'll treasure for a lifetime. The quality of Lawrence's work is unparalleled. His photographs are not just beautiful but also reflect his unique artistic vision, capturing moments in a way that goes beyond mere images. During the celebration, Lawrence was everywhere, yet he blended seamlessly into the background, ensuring that every special moment was captured without ever being obtrusive. Our guests were truly impressed by his professionalism and warmth. Incredibly, Lawrence delivered all our photos and videos just a few days after the wedding, an astonishingly quick turnaround that allowed us to relive our special day almost immediately. Overall, we cannot recommend Lawrence highly enough for any photography needs. He is not just a photographer but a true artist and professional who helped make our wedding day even more memorable. Thank you, Lawrence, for everything!
