Testimonials

From our first conversation with McKenzie at Lavenderie Photos, we know we'd make the right choice. She was responsive, easy to work with, and genuinely cared about making our day special. McKenzie went above and beyond during the wedding intself, capturing moments we didn't even know were happening and turning them into stunning images. The creativity and attention to detail in every shot left us speechless, and we were blown away by how quickly she got our photos back to us. We cannot express enough how happy we are with Lavenderie Photos and have already recommended them to multiple friends. If you're looking for a photographer who will deliver beautiful work and treat you like family, McKenzie is your person.

Why does having two photographers matter?



Every wedding package includes the both of us. While one photographer is capturing the bride and bridesmaids getting ready, the detail shots and Cheers with mimosas, the other is getting the Grooms portraits, groomsmen and other candid moments. We are capturing multiple angles and double the moments and memories.
