Lori Paladino Photography

We loved working with Lori and our wedding photos are simply gorgeous. Lori was professional and engaged from day one (she even sent us a gift basket when we booked her!). She had us send her a "photo list" before the wedding to make sure she did not miss anything we wanted, which we appreciated. Not only did she nail the posed shots, but she and the second shooter managed to capture the small, intimate moments throughout the day in such a beautiful way, it made me cry - it's these photos that mean the most, I felt like she really captured the essence of the day. I don't know how we are going to decide which ones to buy - they are all so good!

Lori did such an amazing job as our wedding photographer at our wedding this May at Trentadue Winery and we can't recommend her enough. We appreciated her professionalism from the very start in the quoting process and educating us on her services. It got even better from there after we signed her on with her timely communication and the survey she sends out to get to know the couple.

She has a great sense for setting up breath taking photos and her leadership during the day of really made the photo taking portion of our wedding run very smoothly. To top it all off and to really show case her level of dedication to her craft, 7 days before our wedding she informed us that she had suffered a foot injury and while it was serious enough to slightly impede her mobility, she assured us that she would still be present at our wedding and would be bringing additional staff to help cover the photoshoots.

Our jaws simply dropped at this point. Ultimately, she and 3 additional members of her staff helped to create gorgeous wedding photos that we will cherish forever. I would highly recommend Lori for your wedding.

Lori was amazing at helping us get set up with Jenna and Stella for the wedding. The photographers helped with everything and took the best shots I could have asked for!

Lori photographed our wedding at the end of February and was absolutely fantastic! First off she is a lovely, warm person who takes the time to get to know your story and style so she can be sure to capture it in her photography. She makes the business side of things super easy (everything on-line and easy to understand). Her work is simply STUNNING.we were so pleased with the results.

Lots and lots of digital photos that are ours to keep and reproduce. Within two weeks of our ceremony we had more pictures than we can count and the most wonderful slide show of our day (beautifully edited to music) we can share with our friends and family. Lori rolls graciously with the punchs - like when you arrive 45 minutes late to the vineyard because your driver had difficulty getting down the mountain. She is worth every penny! Love her!

My fiance and I were in town for a wedding so we decided to take advantage of the gorgeous scenery and take some engagement photos. I found Lori on Yelp and then looked through her website before I decided to shoot her an email. She was incredibly responsive and sensitive to what I wanted. Plus she was the most kind and fun to work with. She picked out two beautiful locations and showed us the photos as she went along. I would definitely recommend Lori to capture your next special moment!

I can't say enough about Lori! She not only did a beautiful job photographing our wedding, but she was such a kind, calming presence throughout the day. We didn't even remember she was there -- and then we got all the photos back and were amazed by what she captured! I strongly recommend her. Thanks, Lori!

Lori Paladino shot our wedding at Beaulieu Garden last summer. Her images are beautiful and authentic, and she somehow managed to capture everything from bride & groom, to guests, to all the details, and more. Moreover, she is a true master of LIGHT. From mid-day to dusk, she manages to make the light look magical in every photo. All of this makes for gorgeous photos that we treasure. Did I mention Lori is a joy to work with? Truly a gem of a person.

I don't have enough good words to describe Lori. She is literally one of the most talented individuals I have ever met. She kept us so calm for our entire wedding weekend. Her work is absolutely incredible. The day after our wedding we got a few teaser pictures and WOW, they were insane. She has an eye for detail that I've never seen from another individual, and she executed flawlessly from start to finish.

My husband is not one for lots of pictures and she made him feel so great about every shot. I am a very type A personality, but I didn't worry for a second with Lori. Conclusion- if you want a photographer that will give you a product that will literally take your breath away, is one of the kindest people of all time and has more passion for her profession and business than most can even dream of then you hire Lori Paladino.

We can't put into words how happy we are with Lori and her team's amazing work for our wedding photography. Hiring a photographer is so daunting as you are entrusting someone with capturing your most special day. We worked with Lori's associate photographer, Sandra Fazzino, to capture our wedding and she did such an amazing job. She was able to capture so many special moments. We were thrilled with our gallery! Sandra was such a pleasure to work with and went above and beyond!

Lori did a wonderful job capturing our big day. She made a point of getting to know us and what was important to us. It was clear that she really took what we said to heart. She and Sandra, her second photographer, captured the essence of our day. Even though we did not attend our cocktail hour, we felt like their pictures from the event gave us a sneak peek! We couldn't have asked for a more talented or generous photographer.

Lori has a magical way with children (and adults)! We have been lucky enough to have had Lori photograph our family periodically since our children were born. She has been able to draw out our somewhat shy children's personalities and the photos seem to capture their frenzied, spontaneity as well as quieter, private moments. After seeing our photos, my sister hired Lori to photograph her wedding and the photos are a treasure for our entire extended family. The photos Lori has taken are my most prized possessions. She's simply amazing!

When we started planning our 7/25/2014 wedding, choosing the right photographer was at the very top of my priority list. I did an exhaustive search on the Knot and other sites, and I kept seeing Lori Paladino come up. I found galleries of her pictures, and I was so impressed. I called and emailed several photographers before her, and none of them were the right fit.

But when I called Lori, I instantly knew she was going to be great for us. She is so friendly, warm, and a great listener. Right off the bat she had some great suggestions (before we even booked her!), and she made us feel very comfortable. Morever, she really provided the very best service for the price. To me, the most important question to ask for all parts of wedding planning should be 'is it worth it?' And she was worth every penny.

Our pictures couldn't have turned out better. Lori and her second photographer braved the 103 degree Napa heat with SMILES and never ever stopped shooting! Several of our guests commented on how much they appreciated being included in all of the pictures. She captured every single moment that we wanted to remember, and we couldn't be happier with them.

And we get to keep ALL of them! The hardest part is figuring out which ones to print and frame. I would highly recommend booking Lori to be your photographer. We had high expectations, but she truly blew us away! I second many other reviewers' opinions that booking Lori was the very best decision we made for our wedding! Thank you, Lori!

Lori did our engagement and wedding photos and we loved it. The connection between a photographer and the clients is very important and I felt like we were a good fit from day 1. We felt comfortable with the shoots and most importantly, the pictures came out great! We plan to use again in the future for our baby pictures.

I can't put into words how beautiful Lori Paladino Photography made me feel and look in my boudoir photo shoot session. First off-- Lori has a heart and soul of gold. This alone would be the first reason everyone should choose Lori as their photographer. She is sweet, professional and comforting. Secondly, Lori made the shoot so comfortable, natural and FUN!

The shoot was by far one of the most uplifting and courageous things I have ever done. The experience alone was one I will never forget. A little cheesy I know, but I have never felt so strong, sexy and glamourous. Who wouldn't want to feel like a VS model for a day!?! And the true testament of her talent. Um.the photos are incredible! And I mean. Incredible. Coming from someone who hates 80% of photos taken and even nitpicks my own selfies for that matter, I can't believe how stunning Lori made me look.

I truly can't express how much I LOVE my photos. I am forever grateful for the experience and the art Lori has created. This captured moment of time and beauty will always be mine (and my honey's) to admire and be proud of. I can't wait for my next shoot with Lori Paladino Photography. I'm thrilled to have my very own professional photographer for life's excitement to be captured and cherished forever! Thank you Lori, for making me look and feel so beautiful!

Lori Paladino is amazing! One of the only things I cared much about during wedding planning was having a great photographer. Lori is actually the first photographer that we met with, and after meeting with her and seeing her work I cancelled all future meetings. Her photos are amazing! We did both our engagement photos and our wedding day photos with her and could not be happier with how everything turned out.

She captured all of the moments in such a close and personal way without me every feeling like there was someone constantly taking my picture. Our final wedding album is so special to me and absolutely perfect.

I had the pleasure of working with Lori on a corporate project. This was a fast paced environment with a large number of people engaged in multiple activities. It was amazing to see how effortlessly Lori found the best angles and got the most from her lighting. The resulting photos were truly beautiful. I highly recommend her!

Lori is very professional and will go out of her way to make your dream photos. I hired her to take photos of my proposal. I was on deployment and Lori was emailing back and forth with me trying to make sense of my plan. I told her i wanted to make it like a fairly tale. I was planning on proposing in front of a hot air balloon. The first day she came out and the driver picked us up.and it started raining.

I was stressing out. Lori calmed me down offering some alternative ideas for me to propose. I kept to my plan and Lori was very flexible, in that she made time in her schedule to be able to shoot the event. even tho it was last minute. i really do appreciate her working with me and making this happen. If you want a photographer that truly cares about helping you on your special event and has a passion for her job. Take your business to Lori!

Hands down, the best decision we made for our wedding was hiring Lori. Words can't begin to express how grateful I am to have had Lori as our photographer. From our first phone call, all the way through the process, Lori was phenomenal. She is a true professional, and amazing person. She took time to get to know us, understand our styles and what we were looking for from our pictures, and the result was beyond anything I could have ever imagined.

I think I have watched our slideshow 400 times already. All the pictures are breathtaking - and we've gotten so many compliments from people - many saying they wish they could do their wedding over just to have Lori take their pictures! Beyond her amazing talent, Lori is the most calming, sweet soul to have as part of your day. You can tell she loves what she does, and it shows in each picture. HIRE LORI! She will capture your day unlike anyone else can, I can guarantee it.

We have a son with special needs and having a beautiful family picture means a lot to us. Lori has done our family pictures 2 years in a row and they are amazing! She has a comfortable presence about her that puts all of us at ease and then we get these pictures that mean more to us than she will ever know. We can't wait for the next time to see what magic she spins around us.

Lori is AMAZING. My fiance and I absolutely love our engagement photos she took for us. My fiance planned a surprise engagement photo shoot for us that happened just a few hours after he proposed. The original photographer he was planning to use fell through a couple days prior but lucky for us, he found Lori! She was incredibly accommodating especially considering we got engaged on Father's day. Plus, she posted a few images a couple hours after the photo shoot to help us announce our engagement!

I just had to write a review to tell everyone how special Lori and her team are. She did our engagement pictures last summer and we absolutely fell in love with them. She also took our wedding photos and I cannot begin to brag about how fantastic she is. Not only is Lori and her team a pleasure to work with but they are also extremely organized and professional. They took every single picture we had hoped for. Thank you to Lori and her team for making our day so special!

As a florist and event planner for beautiful weddings, I look for the absolute best in images to show prospective clients. Lori's photographs are brilliant, intuitive and I could not ask for a more generous and thoughtful talent. I recommend her highly!

A photographer is a must on a wedding day and certainly is she to do the work. She was worth every penny. She not only is the nicest person to work with but she has the eye for grabbing the right moments. None of her pictures are cheesy, but they are timeless and classic. She made my not so graceful family look like the royal family. She made every effort to make sure that all the moments we wanted captured were done.

She is not at all like some photographers who just shoot and don't talk and make you feel weird. It was like she wasn't there sometimes and really captured that candid moment. No cheese but all pleased. She definitely will be photographing our children someday. She does everything from Engagement, weddings, baby and maternity pics. Her assistant Gustavo was also a pleasure to work with.
