HEY THERE! I'm Lakyn.

Your Lubbock Wedding + Elopement Photographer

I found photography through my dad at a very young age (think film cameras), and I love it for its capacity to freeze moments in time, to document love and life in all of its wild and wonderful forms. Thanks to the fuel my dad added to the fire, I graduated with my Bachelors of Fine Arts in Photography and am now pursing my Master's of Fine Arts, alongside another Bachelors in Animal Science. Add book nerd to the list of things up there! Hah!

When I'm not shooting your wedding, editing my heart out or studying, you can find me in the backyard with my three dogs, enjoying our little cozy, backyard paradise. I love everything about the outdoors (yes, even the heat), however I will not turn down a good night of binge watching Netflix.

EXPERIENCE

CAPTURING THOSE AUTHENTIC, TRUE TO LIFE,
IN-BETWEEN MOMENTS

Everything in your life has led you to this point. You’re thinking about how you want to capture it, how you’d like to remember these passing days. Maybe you want to have something to turn in your hands once the dust settles. To pass on to family, to have on your wall, to tack onto a love letter. 

That’s where I step in. Committed to capturing unique stories, adventures, and those special in-between moments, I feel so lucky to be able to do what I do best day in and day out. Just know that I don’t do things in halves. Book me, and I’m all in! Down for the ride, up for a dance, and here for the real stuff!

frequently asked questions

how long have you been a photographer?

i have always had a camera in my hand. my mom said the earliest she remembers is when i was 4 with a disposable kodak. i started my business the second i graduated high school in 2009 and have loved every second of it.

$300 per hour

how MANY WEDDINGS HAVE YOU PHOTOGRAPHED?

I have photographed over 200 weddings as a lead photographer

do i need a second photographer?

I believe that you do not need a second photographer unless you a) have the room in your budget, b) have 200 or more guests and you want to focus on them, and C) if you have a large wedding venue that makes me being in two places at once a little difficult. i photograph weddings solo often with zero issue or complication, so the choice is totally yours.

do i need an engagement session?

This is another one that's totally up to you and your needs. Lots of my couples use them as save-the-dates, guest books, wedding websites, and even reception centerpieces! Personally, I recommend it just for the practice before the big day and to have a moment to celebrate your engagement with just the two of you.

without getting too technical, i use two canon r6S WITH PRIME LENSES. I HAVE BOTH CAMERAS ON ME THROUGHOUT YOUR ENTIRE DAY SO I DON'T MISS A SINGLE MOMENT.

otally! But I want you feeling 1,000% comfortable and excited about the quality of your photographs before placing orders on those.

what happens if you aren't able to make it to our wedding?

In the super unlikely event that I am too ill, injured, or there's some other emergency, I have a list of colleagues that I can call on to replace me that have similar styles of photography & editing. That said, in the 10+ years I've been doing this full-time, I have never even been 60 seconds late. You're in good hands. I promise.
