  • If you want that personal touch or want someone to truly capture your love, happiness, & truly just YOU in all your beautiful moments, LANI IS YOUR GIRL!! Since day one, Lani has made my wife & I feel so comfortable & confident! We first met for a photo shoot she wanted to do with us in the city. Of course Lani went above & beyond & so kindly accommodated an engagement shoot for us that same day! From that moment we fell in love with her & her work! I had never done any photoshoot work so I was nervous but she made me feel so confident & help me get in my zone. This woman is truly a gem, really she’s anyone you want or need her to be for your shoot. Your hype woman, your bestie, your mama, your sissy, or wedding coordinator. Lol. In all seriousness, we are grateful to have had Ms. Lani shoot our engagement & wedding photos! She’s professional, yet still so personable, & kind but firm when needed (getting photos done with my family is a task! We’re a big & loud family, so you gotta be loud & she made the moment happen!). THANK YOU, thank YOU, Lani love!

  • Lani is absolutely amazing!! She shot our engagement and wedding photos. Throughout the whole process, she had great communication and was always reaching out to see how we were doing through wedding planning. She always made sure we knew that she’d be there if we needed anything. She captured everything I wanted and I’m so so grateful for the memories. I would definitely recommend and hire again!

  • My husband and I had an amazing experience with the LV team! Lani is a professional who loves & cares about all her clients. Her work is beautiful! My husband and I had the best day ever on our wedding day with the company of Lani and her team. Now we have our special day captured in gorgeous photographs to look at forever. Super recommend them!

We worked with Lani for our wedding, it was a wonderful experience. She made everything very easy and kept me calm while it rained. Initially I was worried about the weather but she made magic happen. Every time I look at our pictures it takes me back to our perfect day. She captured our essence beautifully. It truly was a pleasure to work with her. - Esthela Reyes

You know there’s some people you meet in your lifetime and you are just naturally drawn to them & their energy. That’s how I felt about Lani. And I think it speaks volume to the type of person/photographer she is because my first ever photo shoot with her was a maternity boudoir. Like, how am I so comfortable getting intimate and vulnerable in front of someone I only met 2 minutes ago. Lani’s talent, aesthetic, and personality speaks for itself in her work. Guaranteed you picked the right photographer! - Crystie Dao

Lani is literally the best! I have always been afraid of photos of myself and after getting engaged I was dreading all the photos,but then I found my girl Lani. She makes you feel like a rock star! She is direct and clear when she gives instructions and her style is an entire vibe. To be honest all of that isn't the best part, she is an amazing person! Lani really does get all up in it for your memories, she's a part of them - she laughs with you,cry's with you, and makes your big days so much better. I will be giving her a call every time we need photo from now on! This girl is worth it in every way! She even made me love all my chins! This woman is literally gold inside and out ❤️ -Tesslyn Peterson

I booked with lani for my SF City Hall elopement and I’m 100 percent happy with how everything turned out. She is professional, friendly, and a great photographer. When I got my 24hr sneak peak, I just knew that I made the right choice! Thank you Lani! Definitely recommend her to anyone. -Jasmine Vscarra
