KIND WORDS

“Wow, where do you start when you have got so many amazing comments to give one person!? The first day I met up with Lionel I really couldn’t give him a lot of information as my emotions from struggling to find a photographer got the better of me (it was only 4 and a half weeks till our wedding!!!). We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to capture the special moments of the start of our new life together. With not a lot to work with Lionel gave us the best wedding album a bride could ever ask for, he went well out of his way to make every photo and every little detail perfect. Thank you Lionel for all the work and effort that went into our photos, we truly are very lucky.”

“Lionel was amazing, from our first meeting until the big day he was on hand to answer any queries.

What first struck us about Lionel was his genuineness. He was sincere and extremely easy to get along with. Taking a real interest in us and our story.

On the big day Lionel was outstanding. He had asked us how we would like the day to go which for us was unobtrusive but there to capture all the movements of the day. Lionel worked tirelessly and he stayed way into the night. His pictures are fantastic and we couldn’t be happier with what he did for us!!

Thank you Lionel for helping to capture our perfect day.”

“A simply amazing photographer with such attention to detail and constantly looking for clever ways to enhance each photo. We began dealing with Lionel a year ago, he was prompt coming back to us to confirm availability for our chosen day and from that point on was so friendly and accommodating. He was awesome on the day and clearly knew what he was doing (we’d never done a photo shoot before so we needed direction lol!) he was amazing with our guests (book him and see for yourself!) and today we received our sneak peeks – couldn’t be happier with his work, the photos brought a few tears to the eyes as I relived some of the moments and there were moments I didn’t know he captured. Pleasure working with you!!! If I do it all again, I know who I’ll ask!!”

“Lionel shot both our engagement shoot and our wonderful wedding day. We were both quite nervous about having our wedding photos done so he suggested having the engagement shoot, I’m so glad we did it. It was good to have the practice and to know what to expect. Lionel put us at ease.

Lionel was present for our wedding from very early morning up until it was dark and no more photos could be done. He captured the essence of the day, many friends and family have commented that our photos show how much we love one another! He got some great shots with our very active young son too, which I was extremely excited about. We also received so many photos to choose from and look back on.

Thank you again Lionel!”

“Our experience was an absolute blast! Lionel was extremely professional, but also very humble and easy to get along with. Not only did he show interest in what we wanted, he also gave great ideas and went out of his way to insure we were comfortable and at ease. The engagement photos turned out better than we could have ever expected and we cannot wait for our wedding day. Definitely a 10/10 from us!”

– Julianne & Mike

“Living down in Kinloch, Taupo, we were most impressed that Lionel made an early visit to Kinloch to officially meet us and scout out some photography locations. His professionalism and friendliness made us feel totally at ease. The stand out for us was that Lionel stayed for majority of our entire day/evening, making sure he captured every moment for us. The final photos are fantastic and we could not be happier. Thank you so much Lionel for sharing and capturing our special day.”

– Rochelle & Justin

“Lionel was so professional from beginning to end. Not only was he attentive in all our needs, he went beyond what was expected to ensure he captured our day perfectly.

His communication from our very first interaction was impeccable, ensuring that we were on the right track throughout a stressful (but awesome) time.

On the day, even though some spells of rain and escaping Alpacas, words cannot do his work justice – each photo is like reliving our amazing day. He even went out of his way to send us some hot spots to go to on our honeymoon!

I definitely recommend Lionel’s services for your upcoming weddings, engagements and events. I will absolutely be referring him to my friends and family – and he will be first on my call list if I need a photographer in the future!”

– Tyler & Rennie

“From the moment we found Lionel’s website showing his work we knew he was going to be the one to do our wedding photos, we met with him just to be sure and without a doubt, we booked him in straight away. Best decision ever, Lionel is super easy to deal with and made the whole photo process easy, just got our sneak peak and photos are exceptional!”

– Ashley & Callum

“Lionel was an exceptional photographer for our wedding. He made himself available all day, got our guests smiling and had great input for photos to capture the precious moments through the day. He also supplied plenty of photos for us to pick from. His great use of sunlight resulted in photos that looked striking but very natural, which was exactly what we were after. We would happily recommend him to anyone we knew as a wedding photographer! Thank you for your hard work and the stunning photos Lionel!”
