We absolutely loved having Makaila as our wedding photographer! She is incredibly talented and we…read morecouldn't recommend her more. Her gorgeous photos and dreamy editing truly speak for themselves, but what really sets Makaila apart is her remarkable eye for capturing the raw emotions and authentic moments of a wedding day - the little moments between us when we weren't posing, candid shots during our ceremony, our family and friends' reactions, creative shots capturing the decor and venue. She did such an amazing job capturing not only the look, but the feel of the gorgeous natural setting (from the jagged backlit mountain peaks down to us hiking in the dirt with our fancy shoes). She really has an eye for creative compositions and shots that feel genuine, fresh, and full of life. She was great at giving us natural and romantic posing directions and yet also had an uncanny ability to catch the best candids of us, family, and friends. She was such a pleasure to work with and has a friendly, composed, and upbeat vibe! We're so grateful we get to relive our wedding day through Makaila's photography. Thank you again so much again for capturing our day so perfectly!

Makaila is an absolute star photographer! She was very communicative, very easy to work with, so…read moremuch fun, and took amazing photos. We were so nervous, but after meeting Makaila for the first time it felt like we had found the perfect photographer. She asked all the rig questions to help us understand how everything would go and really had a sincere connection. Her work is unparalleled and we are so lucky to have worked with her. Her photos were exactly as we had pictured - the use of detail, action shots, sensual shots, thoughtful shots, and editing were very much on point. I can't say enough how awesome she is as a human and her work will leave you breathless.

Larissa was an absolute angel from the first time I reached out to her and still to this day. Her…read morewebsite was user friendly, she was quick and efficient with responses, and altogether we wish we could relive our session with her over and over again! Cody and I are both Texas natives so we were lost when it came to locations, dress attire- the whole thing. However, Larissa made this process as smooth as could be. Not only was she so beneficial in coordinating everything for us, she also took the time to truly know me and Cody through questionnaires and authentic conversations. During our shoot we spent the afternoon having fun while snapping candid photos (which in our opinion, is the best!) Overall, we swell with pride and gratitude everytime we look at our engagement pictures. This wasn't a job that was taken lightly by Larissa and we love her so much for that. She understands and values every single vision that you have while intertwining her professional expertise. Last but not least- our final pictures! (I am happy dancing while I type this) We are over-the-moon about them! What I appreciate the most about her amazing craft is that she took the time to capture Cody and all of his features equally as much as mine, which I find to be rare during engagements sessions. I can't wait to show our future children, grandchildren and so on how handsome he was/is through these pictures. If I could turn back time I would high-five my past self for booking with Larissa. :-) In fact, as soon as we wrapped up our session Cody looked at me and said, "She has to do our wedding photos!"

We reached out to Larissa with We, The Light Photography for our engagement photos, and COULD NOT…read morebe happier with how they turned out!! From the first moment, she was so helpful and easy to work with. She had this great questionnaire to fill out to get to know us as a couple, and while I am normally not a fan of questionnaires this one was so fun and we genuinely learned a few new things about each other! She took care of absolutely EVERYTHING leading up to and during the shoot, down to helping me choose which hat to wear (which she was totally right about!). And then during the actual shoot she made us feel so comfortable and natural. We do not normally take a lot of pictures but she made it easy and fun and we were laughing the whole time. She truly captured who we are as a couple! The photos are absolutely stunning and we cannot wait to share them with everyone and get them printed! We would 100% recommend Larissa and We, The Light Photography to anyone getting married, especially anyone who is looking for a fun adventure wedding. Trust me, you will be so happy you did!! We can't wait for her to capture our wedding next! Thank you Larissa!

Working with Love, Leon (formerly Krauter photography) was the most stressful part of planning our…read morewedding. We were profoundly disappointed with the lack of client-care, honesty and communication throughout the entire process, even in the delivery of photos. We hired Lauren + Casey because we liked their style, we wanted a husband/wife duo and we wanted Indy locals (we live in Los Angeles, our wedding was in my hometown of Indianapolis). We were happy to hear that Lauren, like us, felt it was important to meet in-person to talk vision + prep before the wedding. We agreed to meet in the June and July months when I was scheduled to fly home to Indianapolis. After hiring Love, Leon and putting down our 50% deposit, we felt that Lauren's interest in us and our wedding ended. At the beginning of June, I reached out to Lauren to set + confirm our first in-person meeting. Lauren informed us that she and her husband (2nd shooter) were moving to Germany at the end of the week and she would be unable to meet until the afternoon before my wedding day. As I probed further, she admitted that Casey was no longer available to shoot the wedding and she had already hired a new 2nd shooter. When I searched for this photographer online, I came up blank. There was no Instagram, no website, no reviews and no verifiable online presence of her work. Lauren supplied us with two private links to photos, but asked me to "trust her on this one" even though she had never shot a wedding with this person. We begged for our deposit back. Because so much had changed, we wanted to go with another photographer and part ways with no hard feelings. She refused to make an exception and informed us that she would be keeping our deposit regardless of our decision. We didn't have the budget to pay another photographer without getting that $1,650 deposit back, so we had to proceed with Lauren and try to make the best of this new situation. Her demeanor on the day-of was good and she handled herself well with our bridesmaid photos. The only thing that struck me as odd & unprofessional was when she asked the Matron of Honor to buy her an Uber home during the reception. After delivering the photo galleries, we noticed that a vast majority of the family and group shots were blurry. The trees behind us were focused, but all of our faces were out-of-focus. I reached out to Lauren asking for sharper versions that were suitable for printing and using in a photo book. At this point, she admitted that she had made a mistake with her camera during our group photo session and she did not have any in-focus photos of our wedding party, the bride's family, the bride + groom's family or my grandparents. I was stunned. I reached out to some professional photographer friends to see if anyone could salvage the images. I received an overwhelming response that this was not a camera setting issue, but rather a fundamental photography-skill issue. A photographer may occasionally slip into back-focus for one or two frames out of a hundred, but anyone who bills themselves as a professional would see this mistake after a shot or two and fix it immediately on-site preventing further blurry photos. They were all stunned to find out that she hadn't fixed it on-location, and further than she hadn't owned up to the rookie mistake upon delivery. She waited to see if we would catch it. The whole thing just doesn't sit well with me. All this to say - Love, Leon added stress to the wedding process rather than alleviating it. Maybe it was a one-time mistake, but I wouldn't recommend taking that risk on your wedding day. If you're a bride or groom who values communication, transparency and an overall positive experience in wedding planning, I would urge you to explore other photographers in Indy. **NOTE: As a courtesy, I let Lauren know in advance that we would be sharing our honest experience on this platform. In response, she offered + provided a 50% refund for the $3,600 contract and apologized as she understands that nothing can replace the fact that these images were not captured. She will "use this as an opportunity to learn and grow."**

Our experience with Love, Leon was exceptional, and we are so glad Lauren and Casey were with us to…read morecapture all of the amazing moments from our wedding day! From the very initial planning session, Lauren was knowledgable, professional, and passionate. They were well prepared and always seemed to know exactly what shots would work, which really helped us execute efficiently (that is saying a lot considering we took pictures with our family). Not only are they great photographers, they are also fun to be around! We appreciated their honesty, humor, and patience; characteristics we now value in an awesome wedding photographers duo and our marriage! The pictures are PERFECT. We absolutely adore them. Our wedding day was everything we could have imagined, and so was working with Love, Leon.
