Very attentive and a great person for photography. He was willing to wait out the morning rain and adjusted to the event for photos inside and outside.

L.B. was fantastic to work with. My wife and I met him at the venue weeks before the wedding so he could get to know us better, learn our taste in photos, how the timeline of events would occur, etc. This was a smart move requested by him which I believe paid dividends in the end. Also, I appreciated how L.B. was open to suggestion and feedback before and during the event. He had a great suggestion for pictures outside near the water which turned out to be fantastic although at the time it was hot and my wife and I were reluctant. With that said, he didn't insist but instead let us know it might be hot for a few but there was shade and in the end, the photos would turn out great. To his credit, he was absolutely right. L.B. is professional, carries himself with a calm and collected demeanor and I'd highly recommend hiring him. He also finished the photo editing and had the thumb drive mailed to us in a very reason time. Couldn't be more pleased with our decision to have him photograph our big day and his pricing is more than fair.

Details: Wedding • 50 - 99 guests • Indoors • Flash drive

This was an outstanding experience! L.B. was a joy to work with. He had several suggestions and ideas that really made a difference in the variety of photos. He provided a very quick turn around to review the photos. I would highly recommend him for a professional and enjoyable experience and wonderful "exceeds expectations" end product.

FAQs

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    To keep up with digital photography you must continue to educated yourself in all the latest information. I continue to take a Photoshop class each month. I am also the President of the Lakewood Ranch Digital Photo Club with over 100 members and teach a continuing education class for members on all aspects of photography. I am also an active member of BPPA, (Bay Professional Photographer's Association) that offers continuing education for members at each meeting.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    Most of my photography involves people and making them look their absolute best in a photograph. No matter if is business headshot, a portrait or a wedding, eveyone wants to look their best. I interview my clients before taking the photo to determine how the photo will be used. Then knowing how to properly pose, properly light and finally properly retouch the person insures the photo will be the best.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    My advise to anyone hiring a professional photographer: 1.Is the photographer a member of a professional photographer's association or just an amateur? 2. Does the photographer have the proper equipment to do your photography: camera, lighting, Photoshop? 3. Does the photographer have a website that shows their quality of work. 4. Does the photographer's style match with what the client wants in a photograph.
