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 were incredibly happy with our baby moon photoshoot with Bill! He is a true professional and knows how to make a beautiful picture out of anything.

Bill was early for the shoot, gave us a lot of helpful direction, and helped us feel relaxed throughout the experience.

We couldn’t be more happy with how that photographs turned out. The editing was perfect.

I would highly recommend Bill for your next shoot!-AmandaView Photographer profile
