Our friends & family traveled to the Bahamas for our wedding. We had a wedding photographer at our resort, but we decided we would like our friends and family to have a separate photo shoot at different locations around the island, so we contacted Local Lens. Best decision ever! Our photographer, was awesome. It was very easy to plan and everything went according to what we asked. The photographer made great suggestions.-Michelle
We booked a shoot because we wanted to make some memories. It went really well! She was engaging with our daughters and very personable. We also did a pregnancy announcement that she helped us with-Allison
We traveled to NYC because for our 10 year anniversary. For certain circumstances we did't hire a photographer on our wedding, so this was the perfect moment to change that. After reading lots or reviews we decided to hire a professional photographer to capture great images. Lauren was incredible to work with, she was super patient while planning the photoshoot and once we were there she made us feel really comfortable. As we were not from the city we were concerned about arriving late, but Lauren made it clear that we could reach her if something weird happened. Luckily we arrived on time.-Jonathan
We got engaged! Mike was amazing! Very kind and took amazing photos.-Taylor
We flew out for a surprise proposal. Nothing in particular for Barcelona, was attracted to the idea of a beach photoshoot. Jordi was superb! He arranged what we needed and made it all so simple.-Pav
We booked a shoot because we had a family beach trip!-Kalena
We were on vacation for our daughter’s 1st birthday and our experience was wonderful. Daythan was the absolute best. He was so great with our daughter! Would book him again in a heartbeat. Great photos and great experience.-Rachel
We had an Anniversary in Cancun, Mexico We wanted to capture the beautiful memories we had in Cancun on our anniversary day, and my husband and I truly believe that Laura captured the most beautiful memories that we will cherish forever! We honestly loved the experience and we felt so comfortable and had a lot of fun, my husband wants to do this experience again with Local Lens and we highly recommend Laura.-Bilkin
Had a Just Because photoshoot for headshots at the WeWork Reforma location - Very nice experience, fantastic photographer!-David
