ML Photo & Film

nd on your wedding day! They didn't only give us the best photos and videos of our lives but also got them back to us so fast! I had multiple people (that didn't even go to the wedding) tell me that they cried watching the highlight video. Originally when we started planning our wedding my husband and I were questioning whether we should do the video and when it was all said and done, even my husband was saying he was so glad we had it! We loved them so much, my sister is looking to have them for her wedding. I could rave about ML Photo & Film forever.

2 months after our wedding. Both brought me to tears and let me fully relive the day that was a blur for me! My husband and I could not have asked for a better experience working with Lauren and we will forever cherish the film that perfectly portrayed us as a couple and our perfect day!

a beautiful, live-action reminder of our day. Lauren worked alongside our photographer with no issues, and most of the time I didn’t even notice she was there. We got the 3-minute highlight film within 2 weeks of our wedding, and the longer version (25 minutes) arrived about 3 weeks after that. I’ve gotten multiple comments on the highlight reel that it feels like a movie trailer! Lauren was also great about a few tweaks we requested for the final version. Would highly recommend you find a way to include videography in your wedding plans if it’s not already!

and Lauren make you feel so comfortable and capture everything perfectly. Our engagement photos were perfect and only made us more excited to have them at our wedding. ML was incredibly understanding when we postponed our wedding and made us feel supported in an unsteady time. On our wedding day ML was so receptive to all the details and requests. There relaxed and excited mood made us feel the same. They gave us and capture our favorite moments.

with. Their work speaks for itself! My bridal portraits were STUNNING and they made me feel so beautiful! I am so in love with my wedding photos and they were super quick at sending me sneak peeks right after the bridals and wedding. They did a great job at the wedding at getting family photos and making sure every group got the photos they wanted. I highly recommend them for your wedding! I am so glad I got both photos and a video, so I can cherish this memory forever!

side, and captured alllll of the nights best moments forever! It was also just an absolute delight to see Lauren again at of my bffs/ bridesmaids wedding the following year. She caught me DOMINATING the dance-off :)

, we were blown away by their talent and once we got engaged and started planning our wedding in Chicago, we booked them immediately. Marissa and Lauren had never shot a wedding in Chicago before ours, but I was not worried at all! Their personalities and style made it a no brainer for us to book them. They absolutely crushed it! The photos and films EXCEEDED our expectations and then some. Everyone we've shared these with have commented how perfectly our weekend was captured. Lauren & Marissa did an amazing job and we feel so lucky to have these videos and photos for life. Lauren and Marissa were a calming presence during the wedding weekend and were extremely organized! They made all the pre-wedding photos go by quickly and efficiently. Our entire wedding party commented on how painless the photos were :) ML Photo & Film truly went above and beyond and we are obsessed with our photos and films! BEST VENDOR!!!!

aly. Once I got on a skype call with Lauren I knew she had to be our videographer! She was such a breath of fresh air after being bogged down with all the logistics of cancelling and recreating another destination wedding and she was honestly someone who I would love to be best friends with! She made me so excited for our new wedding in Telluride and was so professional and organized by asking me the most detailed questions which made me very confidant she understood our dream vision for our video. I was SO excited to meet Lauren and her husband on our wedding day in Telluride and they made the day SO fun! Lauren is a true expert at her craft and I couldn't reccomend her more. All of my family and friends who were at our intimate wedding even said how much of a great energy she brought to the day. We just received our highlight video and we cannot believe it is only the highlight video. The beauty of the video, the clarity of the audio, the special moments she captured...are only a few things that are MORE than worth the investment of bringing Lauren in on your special day! Future brides reading this review.. I know what it's like to look at 100 vendors and question if you are making the right choice. My recommendation to you is to stop your search here because you found your dream vendor in Lauren!

always had the answers. We got a sneak peek the day after our wedding. That was such a surprise!!! They are so personable, professional and fun! I swear they can read each other’s minds. They are efficient and wonderful at their job. You will not regret hiring Marissa and Lauren!!!!!

st human. Her photos captured the amount of love and happiness on my wedding day that I will be forever grateful for!!! I just can’t suggest her enough!!!

ring a new wedding photographer). I work in the wedding / hospitality industry myself and I've worked with so many Colorado wedding photographers in my career. However, non of them compare to Marissa. From the moment we had our first phone call, we just clicked (which is SO important to have in a wedding photographer). She made us feel so comfortable and remembered everyone's name and captured all the images that we wanted. Everyone at the wedding was amazed at how great our photographers were. If you are looking for an honest, down-to-earth wedding photographer and videographer, these are your girls!

iginally booked a different photographer that informed me 2 months out from our wedding that they were not comfortable with shooting due to COVID. I saw ML and after speaking to them I think it was a blessing in disguise. They are beyond talented, amazing to work with and worth every cent. They captured every moment and I could not be more in love with our wedding photos. I cannot wait to continue working with them through all of our milestones!!

of our guests they were no longer invited, so we wanted to be able to capture the wedding and share with all of our friends and family. We are SO happy we did. Lauren was so calm and chill and helped keep a relaxed non-stressed vibe in the room while I was getting ready. She was such a pleasure to work with and I cannot recommend her enough! Even though I didn't hire Marissa for the photos, seeing her work makes me believe she is equally as amazing shooting the stills! Do yourself a favor and hire them!!

ntically wonderful people. Our photos and videos are incredible and we couldn’t be happier with the final product! On our wedding day, they were so fun to be around and made us feel really comfortable. An added bonus is that they work together as a sister duo, and that dynamic is truly something special. Marissa captured every shot that we wanted and we were blown away with the attention to detail. My mother became sick halfway through the reception and sadly, she was unable to give her toast. Lauren was so sweet and worked with us after the wedding to make sure we could incorporate segments of her toast into the final video. She spliced audio into the film from a later recording of my mother, and it was beyond perfect. I can’t even begin to explain how much that extra effort meant to my husband and I. We have received many compliments from family and friends about how much they love our pictures. Working with ML was such a pleasant experience from start to finish. We are forever grateful for the memories and the amazing experience we had working with these two! Highly recommend!!! :)

get hectic and there are a lot of variables involved (staying on schedule, organizing friends and family for photos, etc.). They truly want your day to feel like the best day ever and it shows. They are very professional and even send out a photo gallery/highlight video to the vendors for them to share!

d helpful before the wedding day -- from assisting with the timeline to ensure desired photos are captured with time to spare to offering tons advice and suggestions, and they do it all in lightening speed too! On the wedding day, they are the perfect mix of laid back & chill but also still capturing all those little details and interactions. I highly highly HIGHLY recommend hiring ML Photo & Film for your wedding day! This dynamic duo is the best investment you can make for your wedding.

lad we did. Not only are both incredibly talented in their craft, but they also are so fun to be around. They were great at communicating their timelines, making edits as needed and helping us feel ready for our big day. When we started wedding planning a video was on on my must have list, but after receiving our video from ML Photo & Film I can say with 100% certainty it needs to be on everyone's list. The day goes so quickly and it is so special to see and hear your big day via a video!

around on both the highlight and the full film were great. The product is so beautiful and our family and friends loved them. I can't thank them enough for giving us something we will treasure forever, we recommend them to anyone looking for a videographer!

truly felt like having one of our friends with us! Our friends and family loved her too. She captured a variety of photos, and they all turned out stunning! She was also incredibly helpful throughout the entire wedding process and frequently checked in to offer assistance. Thank you ML Photo!!

ushing over their photos we knew we wanted them for our wedding. Although my husband and I live in Austin, we couldn't find a venue we loved in town so we actually ended getting married in Dallas. ML was very accommodating with a small travel fee. It's obvious that these women are very talented, but even more so- they are just good people. They're easy to talk to, funny, and have the biggest hearts. My husband and I could tell they really cared about every detail of our day and truly wanted to capture what we wanted from our wedding day. We had elements of our day that were very sentimental and special to us and ML did a wonderful job at getting everything. We ended up with over 1100 photos and a 5 minute highlight film and 25 minute full wedding film. There were so many pictures to choose from when printing out some for our home and making photo books for family. Every time I show our highlight film to someone there are tears. ML does an amazing job of making everything feel like the couple. They ask you song preferences for your video, but honestly one of my favorite songs in our highlight film was Lauren's choice. Let's just say the professionals know what they're doing. And Marissa really got our vibe of what we wanted our photos to be- clean and elegant. Ty (my husband) and I just wanted the photos and videos to feel like us- and they do. Without a doubt ML Photo and Film was worth every penny- even my parents think so (you know the ones who actually wrote the check)! lol Everyone loves our engagement photos too. I loved that Marissa was willing to try something new too. Ty and I met and fell in love with Austin so we really wanted a city scape background for some of our photos but we didn't want the typically Congress shot- we're not really South Congress people, the capital didn't really have much meaning for us- we wanted the buildings where we had dinner in and walked around at night with ice cream and our dog. Creatively enough Marissa found this most amazing spot on top of a parking garage. We were lucky no cars were parked up there and who would have thought a parking garage could work so well, but it did. We got beautiful shots of the Austin skyline behind and we love the industrial vibe. We also took photos at Butler Park with our Shih Tzu, Chandler and pictures at the US courthouse downtown. We did a different outfit at each spot and Marissa just captured us so well and again we got so many photos from the shoot. I like options :) If you're in Austin, Denver or wherever ML is able to shoot (I believe I've seen on their instagram they did a destination wedding once) they're your girls. It's nice that they're sisters too versus hiring a videographer separate from your photographer because that requires them to coordinate and figure out how to work together on your wedding day, etc. But they've got it down because they do photo and video together all the time and I really thought that helped make everything go together seamlessly on the big day. No one was stepping over each others toes or getting in the way- it just worked. Ty and I really can't thank Marissa and Lauren enough for their beautiful work on our wedding day and engagement photos. This was our most important vendor to us and they did not disappoint. We love y'all!

e day of the wedding, you spend so much time with your photographer and videographer, I think it's necessary to really like them! My bridal party had so much fun hanging out with them! Not only that, but they are so professional that pictures went quickly (which my husband appreciated). They provided a timeline which was the starting point for the rest of my vendors! I really appreciated the survey I was sent before the wedding asking for all combinations of family pictures. It was nice that they requested names be included because it made it so much more personal! I think the last thing I should point out is how timely they were, we got our preview earlier than expected. It's tough to wait 3 weeks for your preview gallery and video, but so worth it when you see the quality! I highly recommend them!

day. From the preview photos, I already saw details I had missed on the actual day because I was so busy. We tend to be awkward in front of the camera but both Marissa and Lauren made us feel so comfortable and at ease. I could not recommend them more!

ch a joy to be around. They make you feel perfectly natural and you have such a great time. The typical awkwardness of a photo shoot for many of us is non-existent. Their ideas are fresh and unique and the finished product is spectacular. They put in an extraordinary amount of effort to make their clients feel/look like models and movie stars. They are relatively new but will soon be at the top of the game in photography and videography. I have no doubt. Book them while you still have a chance.

way. I can't even count the number of guests who have complimented them post wedding and told us how much they can't wait to see the photos and videos based solely on their professionalism from our wedding day because they know they captured so many good moments because they were EVERYWHERE. They are the absolute sweetest and such a joy to work with, turned out a final product that I know we will be crying and laughing over for years to come, and captured our day as wonderfully as I had hoped they would. I could say so many things about how incredible they are, but I'll leave you with this note: it's not hard to take a good picture when conditions are great, but our wedding day was insanely cold with 25+mph sustained winds and you'd never know it looking at our pictures and videos, which is a testament to their skill. The pictures from our wedding look just as good as the ones from our engagements and my bridals, which were both great weather days. Marissa and Lauren rolled with everything that was thrown their way and still managed to capture our day better than we could have imagined, and we truly couldn't ask anything more of them.

't describe how much we loved working with them. I could go on and on about their photography/videography skills but let's be real, you can see just how talented they are on their website (and trust me, they live up to the hype). What I wanted to talk about is the AMAZING support they provided my husband and I before, during and after our wedding. From the get-go, both Marissa and Lauren were in constant contact, never failing to reach out to check in on us and make sure we were feeling supported/see if we needed any help. All of our shoots and calls together were filled with laughter and always felt like we were hanging out with good friends. And they are punctual - Marissa and Lauren were the first people to show up to our brunch wedding (they got there around 6 am!) and made sure everything was prepared and set up. They are also willing to go above and beyond. A bit TMI, but I was sick with a stomach bug on the wedding day and Marissa had my back through the whole situation. She told my guests I had to take some more bridals so I could sneak away when I wasn't feeling well and even helped me get out of and into my wedding dress when I had to do some not so glamorous things. What bride can really say their photographer had their back like that? I also think these girls are superhuman. Literally less than 1 week after our wedding Marissa and Lauren sent us nearly 80 edited teaser images from our big day as well as a beautifully filmed trailer from out wedding day that captured our moments and emotions perfectly. If you are thinking about hiring these two, literally stop thinking and just do it. You will not regret it AT ALL. To be honest, I am thinking about divorcing my husband so I can work with them again (just kidding...sort of.)

I appreciate that so much! On the wedding day, Lauren was impeccable at coordinating all the shots with our photographer and made everything so fun! We loved getting to know her and hope to work with her in the future! XO

to work with Lauren because her work is gorgeous (duh!) but ultimately we have become great friends. Lauren is so sweet, super easy to work with, very understanding of any situations that might arise on the day of your wedding and she is quick! I could not recommend her more to future brides. I have watched my video every single day since she sent it. It is truly a gift I will be able to cherish for the rest of my life. Thank you, Lauren!!

weekend". I will let the photos/ videos speak for themselves for the quality of work these two produce. Every moment from getting ready, to getting down on the dance floor was perfectly captured and we will be able to relive our day through these beautiful photos and videos forever! As for working with ML- I really appreciated that they facetimed and got to know my husband and me! If possible I would 100000% suggest also doing your engagement photos with Marissa. It was a great way for us to get to know her style and to not be super awkward when the main event happened. They are both very professional but also felt like long time friends the whole day.

moment at our daughter’s wedding on both film and video. They somehow managed to be everywhere and yet almost invisible...we jokingly called them “the ninja photographers.” The engagement photos, wedding photos, and wedding video surpassed every expectation we had and perfectly captured one of the happiest days of our daughter’s (and family’s) life. Everyone keeps telling us how gorgeous the photos and video are. Thank you, ML Photo and Film! Y’all are simply the best!

s always so happy and kind and just an absolute joy to be around. This is what you NEED from someone who is going to be with you in the most intimate moments on your wedding day. She called me a week before the wedding to check in and totally put me at ease when I was freaking out. She is amazing and our wedding video is amazing - and yes- you need a wedding video. Love, love, love!

f AMAZING vendors. It’s truly difficult to put into words what an outstanding team these two make, and what beautiful talent they each have as individuals. From the moment we FaceTimed with Marissa and Lauren almost a year and a half out from our wedding date, we felt comfortable and like we were talking to friends. Marissa and Lauren were incredibly communicative and professional throughout our 1.5 year engagement, and every time we heard from them we were that much more excited for our big day! Marissa took time to answer every question I had leading up to the wedding (being Type A I had enough of them) and always responded promptly which made me feel at ease. Being from Dallas/Fort-Worth, we got to meet her for the first time for our engagement session one year out from our wedding date. She was every bit as wonderful in person as she had been over phone and email, and she stayed calm when there was a miscommunication regarding the time our planned location was available. Somehow, all thanks to Marissa, we wound up having the entire Dallas Arboretum to ourselves and ended up with the most gorgeous photos! For both our engagement session and our wedding, Marissa’s photos have been stunning and crisp, and they capture every emotion felt in a still image. Marissa and Lauren were not only professional come the day of our wedding, but they were FUN and full of so much excitement and positive energy that my husband, myself and our entire bridal party fed off of the entire day and night. These two ladies, along with their second shooters, had a way of making every photo taken and every second filmed feel natural, and they always worked smoothly from one moment to the next. When we got our photo preview and highlight video, I was in awe at some of the moments captured - I truly hadn’t even realized they were taking photos/filming because of how seamless everything was. The gorgeous photos we have already received as part of our preview make us smile from ear to ear every time we look at them and our highlight film still makes us cry without fail - Lauren stitched together the most perfect story of our day, and the music she chose gives me chills. In my father-in-law’s words when he saw our video: “I have happy teardrops flowing and I can’t turn them off!” Our best friend/groomsman/officiant who is married himself and has been in at least 8 weddings said that Marissa and Lauren were the best photographer and videographer he has met over the years . . . while we haven’t been in as many weddings as him, we couldn’t agree more. Thank you Marissa and Lauren for capturing our day so beautifully and for being such a joy to work with! Love, The Drinans

ing video. I can’t thank them enough! Throughout the planning process and on my wedding day they were professional, kind, funny, and so attentive. I recommend ML Photo & Film to all my engaged friends!

fortable. Not only do they do great work but they're also two of the nicest people you'll ever meet! We couldn't be happier that we chose these awesome sisters to capture our day!

ur wedding day. You can tell they love what they do and they work seamlessly together. Marissa made our engagement session so much fun, we were a little nervous going into it since we both aren't very comfortable in front of the camera but Marissa made it one of the best experiences, she made us feel at ease and captured our goofy/quirky selves. Before our wedding I had watched all of Lauren's highlight films online and couldn't wait to see ours, there are no words for how I feel about our highlight film and wedding film, lets just say there were a TON of happy tears! We can't say much we love these sisters, do yourself a favor and book ML Photo & Film, you won't be disappointed!

service that we found on The Knot. We were initially impressed by their photo and video portfolio, but their professionalism leading up to the wedding made us feel extremely comfortable with our decision. On the big day, Marissa and Lauren were rock stars. I'll be the first to admit I wasn't the most organized bride, but Marissa worked with my wedding coordinator to ensure everything was executed perfectly. We had guests say, "you had a videographer?" which showed how incognito Lauren was, despite everything she was able to capture. Throughout the day, they were 100% accessible and their communication was open and efficient. At one point they politely helped manage an aunt who wasn't wanted during our bride and groom pictures. Two days after our wedding, we had 25, edited, beautiful sneak peak photos. And one week later we had our highlight video which captured the best moments of the day. I cannot begin to express how much I loved working with ML Photo & Film. I felt like they were our friends, only having known them for a few hours. I would highly recommend them to anyone that wants to have their big day perfectly captured. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING!

our engagement photos, wedding photos, highlight video and full wedding video. Thank you both for everything and for creating such beautiful work that we will cherish forever. - Caitlyn and Corey

. They made photos on our wedding day so much fun and put up with all of my groom's antics. Do yourself a favor and book these gals for your big day!

w everything wedding-related was going, not just for our video needs. She is a true gem!!!! She also has STELLAR work, it is seriously incredible. When we got engaged, some friends of ours said the #1 thing that should be a non-negotiable vendor to book is video, and we couldn’t agree more now that we’re married and have been able to relive wedding day moments through what Lauren has put together. Everyone that has watched what she put together raves about her work, including us!! If you’re looking for a videographer for your wedding we hands down recommend Lauren at ML. She is simply the best!!

bly easy and they capture such beautiful moments so quickly. Everyone raved about how kind they were and willing to take photos of all the guest couples. I haven’t stopped staring at my pictures since I received them. Marissa and Lauren know what they’re doing and you can trust that they’ll give you something to cherish for the rest of your life.

ic at what she does! I knew from the minute I got engaged that I needed Marissa for my wedding photographer & I couldn’t have made a better choice. Our family, wedding party and guests can’t stop saying enough good things about all of our wedding photos. I love how Marissa and her second shooter captured all the little details that you want to keep as forever memories & of course, perfect portraits. Marissa made my husband and I feel so comfortable during our photo sessions & I don’t think I’ve ever had so much fun taking pictures before! We are going to have to order multiple wedding albums because all the pictures are just that PERFECT! You can’t go wrong with this dynamic duo!

ail, and their ability to make you smile and laugh your way through the shoot! We got our photos and videos quickly (a preview in 10 days and the full gallery in less than a month!), and they consistently responded to our emails within an hour. At the wedding, Marissa, Lauren, and their crew captured every moment because they were genuinely enjoying themselves - the perfect combination of being stealth and being engaged! Finally, they made the whole process EASY - suggesting a list of possible portraits and customizing to the unique details of our wedding; being organized, authoritative, and calm during the wedding; and going above and beyond to get to know us prior to the event... they even took us out to dinner twice! I cannot recommend them highly enough. Worth every penny, as the memories they captured are priceless! (Also, definitely don’t pass on the video... it’s SO worth it!)

r response before the wedding, she double checked my timeline and gave me very constructive feedbacks. On the day of the wedding, her team actually finished group photos EARLY during cocktail hour! The newlyweds and their wedding party were able to join cocktail hour with their guests, which is incredibly rare! Bravo to her team to be able to capture amazing photos AND stay on top of the flow, all night long! They knew exactly what was happening next, and was always ready to snap/film away. I would recommend them to all of my clients without hesitation!

g over their work done for our 9/23 wedding in Austin.

fantastic videos. I have received countless compliments of how well the video(s) turned out. I could not be more pleased with Lauren and this experience.
