Adam Falgout Photography 

5.0

Lafayette, LA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,150

Wedding Photography is so Satisfying! I refer to my style of shooting as “the sniper”. People often tell me when they see a photo pop up on the screen right after I take it… “I never even saw you take that!” That’s the whole idea behind capturing truly genuine and candid moments that can’t be recreated… It’s about being sneaky, having experience and hustling your A$$ off to be in the right place at the right time… and I have so much fun doing it! I’m a proud father of 5 sons and a daughter (she’s the youngest)! I’ve shot over 550 weddings in 14+ years.

I loved working with Adam for my bridals and wedding. He captured both events so perfectly and brought my vision for both to life. I, as well as my wedding guests' loved the real time photos on the screen that he has for your reception. It was so fun to see all the pics he took from the ceremony and then as the reception was happening!

Sidney Donaldson Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Lafayette, LA

I've been shooting weddings for almost 10 years now and love every single one. The love, the joining of 2 people, and the fun of having everyone together. I strive to have every single important moment captured to remember for a lifetime.

Awarded Best of Zola
We knew from the start that our wedding would be a small, intimate affair, and we wanted a photographer who could capture the special moments without being intrusive. Sidney was absolutely perfect! Communication was a breeze. Sidney was always responsive, and they took the time to understand our vision for the day. He arrived early arrived and with an assistant and both blended seamlessly into the background. They captured candid moments of our family and friends, as well as some beautiful posed portraits. We received the sneek peak very quickly and the only "hard part" is picking from all the many photos to move on to the final gallery!

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Awarded Best of Zola
I came across Mae’s work when looking for a photographer for engagement photos in Central Park, and I was immediately impressed with Mae and knew we were going to be incredibly happy with the results. Mae responded immediately to all my questions, day or night, and took the time to video chat with me at length twice before the shoot to discuss what we were looking for in our photos. Before the shoot, I had sent her a few examples of what I liked, and not only did the photos come out exactly how I wanted them, but were even more perfect than I envisioned. The engagement shoot itself was so much fun, and Mae made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, despite us thinking we’d both feel awkward getting posed photos of us taken. Mae truly had a vision for what poses, locations, and lighting would work, and the execution was perfect. Some of the feedback we got from our friends was that the photos looked like a magazine, and that they were “ethereal.” Even better, Mae somehow got us the edited photos back within 24 hours of the shoot. Her pricing is also incredibly reasonable given the quality of her work, meticulousness, and experience in photography, as well as the very quick turnaround time. My fiance and I truly cannot recommend her enough, and we are excited to work with her again in the future. She is truly an artist, and any couple would be incredibly lucky to work with her!

Royce and Michelle were the easiest vendor we contracted. We immediately hit it off with them and knew we'd be in the best hands with them. They ran with all the information I gave them and remained flexible with us the whole day. There wasn't a moment one of them if not both of them were with us making sure not a second of our wedding day was missed. Another reason we contracted with them was the value and flexibility of their packages. I could not find another wedding photographer that would give us the same value at a competitive rate. Royce and Michelle superseded the expectations of our package and delivered our photos in an unbelievable speed. We joke that they just must not sleep in order to have gotten our wedding photos back so quickly. I will brag about Royce and Michelle and recommend them to anyone who will listen. For all the service, flexibility, and just genuine people they are Walstonphoto in my mind is the best wedding photographers in Texas!

Hi! I am Lauren and I am the face behind the camera here at Lauren Crumpler Photography. I am a taco lovin' Texas native that grew up exploring the outdoors. I have lived all over but now find myself nestled out in the Hill Country with my husband and two English Bulldogs, Lou and Arnold. I was raised in a large family and they mean the world to me - that is why it is such a huge honor to photograph you and yours. My passion is capturing couples in head over heels, can't eat, can't sleep, reach for the stars, over the fence, world series kind of love. Weddings and elopements are my jam but I love all photo shoots that incorporate family.

Lauren Crumpler was the absolute BEST person to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process and wedding day. She's the comedic relief when you need it, she's the one that makes you smile when you're exhausted, she's the one who will fix you bustle when you husband steps on it 3 times throughout the night, she's the one that makes sure you get all the picture you want and more. If I could do it all again, I would pick a couple other vendors differently. But I would always choose Lauren and so should you!
