Received wedding footage over 3 months after wedding. Footage barely met minimum requirements in terms of duration. Package offered up to 5 minute video but we only received 2min v...
ideo and they did not even included the speeches in the 2 min. We requested the owner modify the video deliverable to include the speeches and he requested to charge me an additional $350 on top of $10k to re-edit the video to include speeches. Slow communication, no communication. Was supposed to have two camera rolling as part of package, but we only received 1 person. Wife upset about them to this day.
I tell everyone that Emily and Brandon were easily one of the best parts of our big day! Getting married and replanning a wedding amongst COVID-19 was a process and thankfully the...
se two made it every bit of worthwhile. They will make you feel like you have known them both for your entire life. As a couple, they radiate positivity and know exactly how to make you feel comfortable and take the lead on such a busy and love filled day. Emily has the best tips and tricks while Brandon was working magic behind the camera. When we received our final film, you could easily tell that they had poured time and energy into creating something beautiful. We will forever be grateful for their talent and presence. Seriously, you will not regret booking Emily and Brandon!
Emily was an absolute dream to work with. She’s one of the kindest people and is crazy talented at her craft. Her vision and dedication to her work is truly admirable and I’m so gl...
ad she was a part of my big day. I’m not one to feel very comfortable in front of a camera but she made feel so confident and at ease. We are in love with the moments she captured and we can not recommend her enough!!!!
Emily and Brandon were an absolute dream team for my wedding!!! Not only are they wildly talented, they took charge and made magic happen! My day of coordinator dropped the ball on...
everything she was supposed to do, and Emily and Brandon worked their hearts out to make up for her negligence. They were consistently on the same page and brought a great energy to my wedding! My husband and I generally hate getting pictures done and we are far from “naturals” in front of the lens, but Emily brought out the absolute best in us! She coached me and was honest about what I would like and what I wouldn’t which I SO appreciate. She took note to what was important to me and made it happen! The day goes by so quickly and with Emily and Brandon at the helm, I had no doubt that they would capture every moment of my day. Their photography is MAGIC. Their talent unmatched. I have never seen such a compatible team who truly cares about delivering the best quality photos in the middle of an often chaotic day. I trusted them. They were EVERYTHING and I look at my pictures every day. They are stunning and they capture me as every bride wants to be captured—beautifully. Our love is memorialized in their photos and I will forever be grateful to them and their talent. They don’t skimp and they stepped up in a way that I don’t think many vendors would. They epitomize small business ethics. They CARE. They are INCREDIBLE professionals at what they do and their prices are so fair for what they deliver. They truly impressed me so much with what they were able to do—problem solving and advocating for me as the bride. The best thing you can do for yourself is have memories and moments you can look back on and think “WOW I can’t believe that was me.” Her pictures are you but elevated. Knowing nothing about videography, I trusted Brandon and he knew what shots he wanted and how he was going to accomplish them. He was a calming, kind presence and his talent and commitment to our day and to Emily were palpable. I can’t say enough about the Lahmanns, but what I can say is booking them will be the one if the best decisions you can make for your big day.
There are really no words that do these guys justice. They’re fun, extremely talented, and know exactly what to do to capture your day even better than you could ever imagine. They...
fit right in with our wedding party and it felt like we had two more friends hanging out with us all day! They captured our love so perfectly and found the perfect places for us to do our photos since I felt so strongly about fall leaves being present 😂. They are your ultimate hype people, quick to solve any issues, work quickly and efficiently so you can party and make sure to capture all the details of the day you’ve put so much time and effort into. You will truly feel like their favorite couple and they will treat your wedding day like it’s the only day that matters. If you want to have some new BFFs hang out with you on your wedding day and also so beautifully document your day, then you NEED to hire them! It was so important to us to have our day surrounded by people we loved and who would make our day even more fun and they were the perfect people for that. We already plan to use them for all or the major events in our life because we love them so much!!!!
Can’t say enough good things about Emily and Brandon. Emily worked through many reschedules for our engagement shoot through the stay at home order and was very organized. Our sho...
ot was more amazing than I could have ever imagined. They made us feel so comfortable and our pictures turned out absolutely amazing. Could not recommend enough!
AMAZING does not even begin to describe Emily. She is not only incredibly talented with an insane ability to capture the smallest moments beautifully but she is a wonderfully kind ...
and sweet human being as well. She went above and beyond to make our day exactly what we dreamed. We changed our entire wedding from a big local venue close to home to a small elopement 2000 miles away and she not only embraced it but she offered advice on how to make our day perfect. I 100% know that my wedding would not have been the same without her. She went above and beyond to not only get us gorgeous photos but to keep us laughing and feeling comfortable throughout the entire process. Our photos turned out completely stunning and I am so thankful that we chose Emily. If you are looking for a photographer who will be there with you every step of the way, be the greatest person to work with seriously ever and also create the most beautiful photos I have ever seen then pick Emily!
Hire Emily and Brandon. If you want to feel like a model and the most beautiful person in the universe HIRE EMILY AND BRANDON!
I haven't even received all of my wedding photos ye...
t but their work is impeccable, they are the most FUN people on the planet, and you seriously can't find a better team than them. We were looking for something more than just pictures when we set out to find a wedding photographer. We wanted to be apart of someone's art. They are worth every single penny and their work is seriously an investment in preserving your memories in the most beautiful way possible! They were so cool when we completely changed all of our wedding plans (from the NC Mountains to the FL Keys) and even cooler when I asked if I could jump in a pool in my wedding dress. Just honestly the coolest, most awesome, kindest people you will ever work with or meet. And really, the photos are insane. The most beautiful things I have EVER seen in my life!
So seriously, hire them if you want to feel insanely amazing, make art, and get the most amazing photos you could have EVER wished for!!!
Emily and Brandon are THE BEST. Emily took our engagement photos, my bridal portraits, and our wedding photos. She is relaxed, insanely fun, and so kind. She made my husband and I ...
feel so natural in our sessions and you can absolutely feel that when looking at our photos. Emily accommodated several location and schedule changes with grace and professionalism. The warmth and love portrayed in her photographs are so genuine and I am so glad we chose Lahmann Photo Co.
Emily is the kind of person who makes you want to create a knot profile AFTER your wedding just to leave a good review. She did my boudoir and engagement photos and not only did I ...
have the most fun hanging out with her- I never thought I would be so confident going into my wedding day. I knew no matter what craziness the day would throw at me, Emily would capture everything in a “this wasn’t posed it was just this perfect” way. Not only is she super talented in what she does, she coordinates a tipsy bridal party through group photos like a bad ass bish, AND she will go out of her way to break it down on the dance floor with you so like idk what else you could possibly even be looking for tbh. 500,000,000 stars from me.
Emily and Brandon are some of the best humans you’re going to meet. They not only made us look GORGEOUS, but made us feel comfortable. Which, lets be honest, is so important, espec...
ially on your wedding day. After hair and makeup I was running a bit behind and I felt so overwhelmed. Emily was the first one to step in and help me shake off the pre-wedding jitters. They were also SO MUCH fun at the reception! If you want beautiful pictures and also a team that genuinely cares about you, hire them!
Literally Emily and her husband are the kindest and funniest people! They really captured our beautiful day and focused on every single detail. I loved all the candid shots that j...
ust show so much love. We couldn’t of imagined a better photographer. Her photo style is elegant and vintage, she knows how to direct the pictures beautifully, and she knows how to have fun with everyone. You guys are amazing and whoever is reading this, just book them, you won’t be sorry! ☺️
First off, me and my husband were SO nervous to take our engagements photos and it being awkward. Emily made us feel like we had been friends for years and made us feel at ease! Sh...
e picked the most magical natural location. Emily was also a great director and helped us with all our poses and they turned out stunning!!! My husband was so excited after the session that he said we need to do one every year. That’s how enjoyable Emily will make your experience! We cannot brag on her enough. It’s been about 6 months since our session and we still get compliments to this day. Would book her again in a heartbeat!
If you are searching for a photographer who is going to provide you with the most gorgeous, jaw dropping photos that you will not be able to stop looking at then Lahmann Photo & Fi...
lm Co. is it! Emily did engagement photos for us. She was so easy to book with! We laughed and joked and felt so comfortable in front of the camera with her. She really has a way of making the session feel like a fun adventure. She is SO dedicated to capturing all the sweet, loving, happy moments. At some point she unknowingly stood in an ant hill while capturing some of my favorite shots! When she realized she was standing in an ant hill and being bit, she took her shoe and her sock off and continued on with our session. She brought us over to another spot with one shoe on and captured my other favorite pictures! Honestly.. they’re ALL my favorite and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. 10/10 highly recommend. Oh one more thing! She told us to expect our photos back in about a week. We got them back that same night!!
Emily is literally the cats pajamas! She was so professional yet you feel like you’ve known her your entire life the minute you meet. Despite trips overseas, she still managed to...
get our engagement session back to us in a timely fashion. I wish I could give her a million stars!
Let me just take a moment and let all your future couples know that y’all are PHE-NOM-EN-AL!!!! You know that feeling you get when the anticipation of your favorite holiday is upon...
you and you wake up with glitter running through your veins because you’re so excited? That’s what it is like to have Emily & Brandon as your wedding photographer/videographer!!!
As a venue owner, just seeing their name as the booked photographer sends me into a super overdrive of happiness! They super supportive, easy going and extremely professional. When talking to them, you feel like you’ve known them your entire life. The attention to detail they place into their artistry is unparalleled. They are incredible!! If you haven’t done so already, BOOK THEM like yesterday!!
I came across Emily a few years ago and I followed her and thought, I will use her for my wedding one day. I’ve stalked her Instagram ever since and made that dream a reality. She ...
was everything I imagined, and so skilled. Overwhelmingly skilled. Her pictures give me chills and tell a story. She traveled with us to Iceland and made all of our dreams come true, if I could only pick one thing to splurge on for wedding planning, this would be it time and time again. The memories we have forever because of these pictures are priceless. I have so much love for this team. They’re growing rapidly for a reason. On our trip they became friends and it was complete magic from the minute we left the driveway. They went above and beyond to meet our expectations and needs.
100% the best pictures I have ever seen and been a part of in my whole life!! Emily and Brandon are SO talented and are also just super easy and fun to work with🥳
The price is WAY...
worth it because these are memories you will cherish forever, highly recommend times a trillion.
So i do not even know where to begin. I do know my wedding would not have been the same without Emily and brandon. they are the most genuine and kind hearted people you will ever m...
eet. every second with them is a good time. they care so much about making sure you are having a perfect day that they go way outside the bounds of just photographer and videographer. they are so talented and my husband can not wait to see our pictures. If you do not hire them you are missing out on the experience of a lifetime and your wedding will be ten times better with them being a part of it. the moments they capture are like no other photogrohers i have ever met. they bring out the love in everyone they are around and it shows in the beautiful pictures and videos they are able to capture. Hire them i am telling you, you will not regret it.
If you only read the first sentence of this review, just know that these two are worth way more than 5 stars. Emily did our engagement session and was able to coax out and capture ...
the biggest and most genuine smiles from my husband who usually has the emotions of a brick wall. She can turn ordinary people and a seemingly ordinary background into something that looks like it belongs in a magazine. She was so quick in getting us sneak peaks from our wedding and sent more than I was expecting. Each photo takes me back to that day, brings back all the emotions, and will be cherished forever. I am so thankful for these two, how much they care about their couples, and all of their hard work. Not only are Emily and Brandon amazing people and incredible people, Emily is a life saver for brides with veils. She was able to move around bobby pins to put in and secure my veil, move them around again to take it out, and my up-do looked amazing the whole time.
Emily and Brandon were incredible to work with. From the first phone call I could tell we were going to get along, and I couldn't wait to meet them on my wedding day. Emily underst...
ood what I was looking for, was extremely responsive, and made my priorities for the day her priorities. She made me feel like a queen, and got amazing shots even during the moments when I was distracted and nervous. I never once felt like I had to worry about or check in on her work (which is a blessing when other vendors require a lot of hands on attention). The sneak peeks were incredible and I was so excited to receive my album and share the photos. I guess the only bad thing I could say is that it's hard to pick my favorite shots when they are all sooo good! 10/10 would recommend, and I've already had a newly engaged friend say she wants to reach out to my photographer.
THE BEST photographers I have ever met! They made the day so effortless and made sure to get all the pictures! They gave us a sneak peek only 4 days after our wedding! Emily was ba...
sically my day of planner when ours was nowhere to been found, hairstylist when my hair fell out, friend when my wedding party was stressing, and photographer! Her and Brandon did such a great job the whole time and they were extremely fun to be around! I would recommend them to anyone!
I found Emily and Brandon through an extensive Instagram search and couldn’t be happier with our choice! From the moment we had our engagement photos in May, I knew that this team ...
was the real deal. We had no prior experience in front of the camera but decided to put our trust in Emily and Brandon and the engagement photos ended up being a beautiful reflection of our goofy and sometimes awkward personalities.
Come wedding day, Emily and Brandon stuck by my side before the ceremony and helped ease my nerves and make me laugh the entire time. They took things in their own hands to get the perfect before-wedding photos. We had the best time with them when we spontaneously wanted to ditch the traditional wedding shots to get some photos at our favorite local bar across the street. The whole time they were accommodating to whatever we wanted to do as a couple, even when the groom’s mom wanted some extra unplanned photographs. Emily and Brandon felt more like guests at our wedding and I loved dancing the night away with them. They have the perfect balance of professionalism, creativity and personalities that make you feel like you’ve been friends forever. My photos during this time in my life are something that I will cherish forever and couldn’t thank the Lahmann’s enough for giving us more than we could ever imagine.
Emily and Brandon, where do I even start? They’re not only a dynamic company, but also an incredibly fun couple! They calmed every fear I had going into my portrait session and mad...
e it feels so natural. The authenticity Emily is able to capture is just astonishing and was beyond anything I even hoped for!
If you’re looking for a local photographer in the RDU area or just a really neat couple who will follow you ANYWHERE, Emily and Brandon Lahmann of Lahmann Photography are the people for you! I promise you you’ll enjoy every second of both the shoot and the pictures afterward!
Let's start by saying if I could give her 10 stars I would! Emily took our engagement photos and they came out better than I could imagine. The warmth, lighting and love she captur...
ed was like nothing I have seen other photographers capture. My fiance and I were a little nervous at first, but after shooting with Emily for 5 minutes we instantly felt comfortable. She's truly a blast to work with and the kindest person you will meet!! Will only shoot with Emily from now on!!!
Emily is FANTASTIC!! We were super nervous going into our engagement photos and she not only made us both comfortable in a park full of people but also made the entire process fun....
She suggested places, poses and made sure we spent the entire session laughing. We could not have asked for a better photographer. I was completely blown away when I saw the album, the pictures are so so so perfect. Not only were they exactly what we wanted but our friends and family could not stop gushing over how amazing they are. I cannot wait until for Emily to shoot our wedding just because I know that every shot is going to be perfection.
I was blessed to have Emily photograph my 3 grandchildren! She captured their TRUE personalities ALL at the same time! She is so genuine! She’s a people MAGNET! Whether you are 2 d...
ays or 100 years old you will be amazed at the quality of her photography. Her beautiful spirit! And the great joy she received in your joy! Give her a call!
Emily and Brandon are the best photographers a bride could ask for. They are so incredibly talented and they truly care about their brides. I felt so at ease with them, like I was ...
just with my good friends, and it made the special moments that they captured even more special. I will always remember when they teased my husband and I for kissing during our first look. That was one of my favorite moments and those are some of my favorite photos.
You can tell how much they love what they do, not only by their amazing photos but by how joyful and kind they are to everyone around them. They were so patient and caring. Emily made sure that I looked and felt beautiful the whole day, she even fixed my hair for me when it started to fall down halfway through the day. Brandon ran and got my husband fruit before the wedding when he found out he hadn't eaten. At the end of the wedding, they even agreed to go to another location after the wedding so that we could have photos taken where my husband proposed to me, which meant the world to me. They really went above above and beyond for us and our wedding!
I will 100% hire Emily and Brandon to take photos of me and my husband any time I can find the excuse. They were incredible, their photos were amazing, and I loved that they were part of my wedding. I don't think I will ever get tired of looking at my wedding photos.
If you want every little detail and every heart filling moment that you experience on the day of your wedding the Lahmann's are the photographers for you! They not only captured th...
ese moments , they we're apart of them! Emily and Brandon helped all the groomsman put on their ties and boutennieres while taking silly photos of all the shenanigans! Emily jumped up and down with me (the bride) every time I got overwhelmed with excitement and helped me put mascara on my bottom lashes because I never learned how lol. They both danced with us through the whole reception and got pictures of every person who got up and danced too! They were there not only to photograph the wedding but to experience it beside us so they could capture every little moment that we wanted to remember forever! It's literally as though they were in my mind taking pictures of every smiling face and small detail I was hoping I could save and look at forever and now I can because I chose Lahmann Photography! Also, I'm writing this review after going through my complete albums of photos only 3 WEEKS after our wedding, that turn around time is unbeatable!! And all along they have been posting sneak peeks to keep our excitement through the roof! I'm telling you right now if you want to feel celebrated, loved, and beyond satisfied by your photographers, choose these two beautiful humans!!
We could not have asked for a better photography duo to capture our wedding day! Emily and Brandon took care of every photography detail from start to finish. We never had to worry...
that any moments would be left uncaptured. They took the time to learn beforehand what was most important to us on our wedding day, and they were there for every single moment of it. The photos were beautiful, plentiful, and an exact reflection of our wedding day. Forsyth Park was slammed with people that day, but you would have never known it looking back at their photos! They have such an eye for beauty and their personalities kept the energy high! I won’t say the exact timeframe so as not to set the bar too high for them, but my goodness we received all of our photos back so quickly! It was such a joy having them as our photographers!
Emily was fantastic! She had a wonderful price and showed up early. She listened to my wishes and ensured my wedding photos were perfect. I was blown away when I received my album!...
Her lighting was perfect and there were so many great shots. Also, she went above and beyond. My hair stylist cancelled last minute so she even came early and did my updo!! I could not have asked for a better wedding photographer.
I highly recommend Lahmann Photography! Kyle and I had Emily and Brandon do a "couples shoot" for us and we were SO pleased with the results. First of all, they will meet you ANYWH...
ERE! You could tell Emily has so much passion as well as experience behind wedding photography. She suggested poses, locations, and the most perfect "jokes" to capture our laughter. Having photos taken has always been a bit awkward. ( For Kyle especially) However, Emily and Brandon made us both feel SO comfortable and at home. We cannot wait for them to shoot our engagement, wedding, and children someday. There is truly no other photographer that I would trust more with capturing these special moments!
