Having seen Chris and Lucas perform their magic and two weddings (my own and my brothers) If I could give them more stars, I would without hesitation. I could not have been happier with their work.
I found Lucas on FB through a bridal page. My first impression was that he was kind and considerate. He wrote to me the very next day requesting a meet/consultation. I was impressed with how prompt he was and though I wasn't won to him yet, I agreed to chat with him. He was so accommodating, he gave a very thorough breakdown of everything he could do and answered all my questions. Lucas offered a free engagement shoot to get us used to him and the camera and a 2nd shooter at our wedding for a small extra charge - I chatted with 2 other photographers, but none could beat his personality or price.
Our engagement and wedding sessions were great. The engagement session was fun and laid back, Lucas did a great job with us. My fiance was not one for being in front of the camera and having his photo taken but Lucas soon put him at ease. It was a huge peace of mind to have already worked with him at the engagement shoot to get an idea of how he worked. I highly recommend it.
Wedding day was amazing. Enter Chris Basford (2nd shooter). Lucas and Chris got there early, as I had requested, and stayed till late - there was no clock watching by them. My wedding party loved him, as did our families. They were extremely cordial, professional, but fun and had a terrific attitude. They made us feel very at ease and I never had to wonder where he was, they always seemed to know exactly where they needed to be and where we needed to be for those perfect shots.
Chris and Lucas worked fast and furious to make sure we got some stellar moments. They knew how to take control of the wedding party when we needed to move and get in position, but he never came across as bossy or aggressive. We had a blast and a half and I can't praise them enough.
You truly cannot go wrong with either of them, they will work with you and give you honest thoughts and ideas. Both are very gracious, kind and work super fast, but you'll never feel rushed out of some very special moments he perfectly captures.
I'm one extremely happy bride.
