“We cannot recommend Liza Lavine highly enough! She is an incredibly talented photographer with such a clear artistic vision, but what makes her truly exceptional is the way she combines that talent with her kindness, organization, and ability to make you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera.
As someone who does not particularly love having my picture taken, I was honestly amazed by how comfortable Liza made me feel. Her coaching is direct, insightful, and incredibly helpful — she knows exactly how to position you, where to look, and how to make a moment feel natural rather than posed. And for anyone who thinks that the subject is what makes a photograph beautiful: the subject might contribute to the photo, but Liza is the reason it is so beautiful. She has an incredible eye and a way of capturing people that makes every image feel artistic, authentic, and completely us.
Our family and friends absolutely adored her, too. She was so warm and personable throughout the entire day, and somehow managed to make everyone feel comfortable while still getting all of the photos we wanted.
For our 120-person wedding, we made the decision not to have a second shooter, and we were so impressed by how organized and efficient Liza was. She truly does not miss a moment. She was somehow everywhere she needed to be, capturing all of the important moments as well as the little ones we didn't even realize were happening. Her knowledge of how to photograph a wedding — while also keeping the busiest day of your life moving on schedule — is seriously impressive. We never felt rushed or behind, and we always felt like we were in the best possible hands.
Liza also photographed our engagement session, and that experience made us even more excited to have her capture our wedding day. We are so grateful for the beautiful memories she gave us and cannot wait to come back to Liza when we start our family and are ready for more photos!
She is truly the very best, and we feel incredibly lucky that she was our photographer!”
