Flawless experience with Live Picture Studios! Booking with Natasha was a breeze—she was incredibly helpful and made the initial planning seamless, including providing dedicated same-sex wedding forms that made us feel welcomed and included from the start. Our wedding day photography team was phenomenal. Carlos was our lead photographer and Aleks was our second photographer, and both were absolutely amazing to work with on-site. It was incredibly comforting to know that Carlos has extensive experience working with same-sex couples, and his background made a huge difference. Both he and Aleks made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera and ensured everything ran smoothly. The service was highly professional, inclusive, and seamless!
We could not have selected a better group to video our special day. The coordination, professionalism and execution from Live Picture Studios is second to none and truly a 5-star experience. The day of staff were great to work with and we barely felt like they were even there! They worked extremely hard to capture every moment and did so perfectly. Just from what we have seen so far, the quality is amazing. Crystal clear audio and video, camera angles were spot on and really guided us to take some great shots! Hats off to LPS, I would recommend them to anyone!

Our main photographer and the team that came with her on our wedding day made sure to get the most amazing shots and they were so fun and easy to work with! And same goes for videographers! Our highlight video is perfect and everyone we show couldn’t compliment it more about how great it came out.
Thank you LVP for all you did to capture the best day of our lives!

We were so happy with our Videography and Photography package from live picture studios and highly recommend them to any couple on the search for a fantastic but affordable experience to keep their special memories forever of their wedding.
We had the pleasure of Working with Aleks as our main photographer and got to meet and chat with him a few times leading up to our wedding to make sure he knew what we wanted to capture from our day. He also did a fabulous job on our engagement shoot and we built a great relationship that made our wedding day so much more comfortable and fun!
Our second shooter was Lillian and she was a dream as well! She went above and beyond as a second shooter and we could have not have asked for a better team to spend the whole day with and get the shots we wanted. She also spoke to us earlier on when we had some concerns with editing before our wedding to make sure our vision came true and was kind, helpful, and placated our worries and nerves. Our gallery was delivered so fast as well and it was so nice to be able to already get to look through and pick all our favorites.
Our videographers were fantastic and detailed oriented as well. Paul and Joel were fantastic at recording all our video and they helped bring energy and focus to make the day feel so fun and give us video that we can watch and cherish forever. We received our highlight roughly in the timing they estimated and it was beautiful.
My husband and I really had so much fun with our team on our wedding day and they really made it all come together. Not only did they capture moments, they captured the feeling and the love. I love with our gallery and highlight and I can't wait to see the rest of our footage. We can't wait to share our special memories with all our guests. We would recommend Live Picture Studios to anyone who is looking for their special day!

Our wedding video/photo people were amazing. We had the team with Carlos and they were so funny and helpful with picture ideas. They created the best memories with our bridal party and families. They were attentive and patient and made us feel at ease during a stressful day. We had our wedding at the Waterview in CT and they were so flexible with everything we needed. We are so grateful we chose them.

We had an amazing experience with Live Picture Studios for our wedding videography!
One of the things that impressed us most was how unobtrusive the team was throughout the day. They captured so many incredible moments, yet you could barely even tell they were there. They blended seamlessly into the background while still making sure every special moment was documented.
To top it off, they delivered our highlight video 3–5 weeks earlier than expected, which was such an exciting surprise. We were absolutely blown away when we watched it for the first time. The video perfectly captured the emotions, energy, and joy of our wedding day, and we are completely obsessed with it! We've already watched it countless times and can't stop sharing it with our family and friends.
If you're looking for a wedding videographer who is professional, talented, and able to beautifully tell the story of your day, we highly recommend Live Picture Studios. We are so grateful to have these memories captured so perfectly!
