My now-husband and i hired him to photograph our wedding, at first things seemed great. At the consultation he was professional and courteous, i was excited. However, things quickly started turning sour the day of the wedding. First, he was late... not super late but about a half hour. Next, while i was getting ready he was nowhere to be found. I wanted those moment captured, I said out loud more than once, 'where is the photographer? I want him to be taking pictures of all this?' finally after the second time one of my bridesmaids went to find him. He was taking some pics outside, but he never checked with me or asked me what i wanted. It happened again when my Dad was about to walk me down the aisle, my Dad had to go find him right before, I dont know what he was doing. For the most part the ceremony went smoothly. I heard after the wedding that my Dad had to snap at him because Lance was upset about where he would set up his labtop or something, my Dad didnt know, and told him to ask who was running the venue. My Dad was busy getting chairs set up. So, the next day when i went to his website to see our wedding pics i was astonished at the 'style' in which he took the pictures. Through the whole night he was turning the camera at a diagonal angle and snapping shots, it looked horrible! Thats the only thing my friends and family could comment on, was the weird angle. It might have been okay for a few, but it was almost half or more of the reception shots. Also, I was beyond disapponted w/ his lack of creativity. They were so boring and didnt capture a fraction of how beautiful my wedding was. Then, to top things off there was the issue of getting me the CD and prints that we paid for with the package. I emailed and called numerous times asking where they were. FINALLY i received the discs. I was still waiting for my prints, because i wanted to use them for the wedding album, that took over two months of calling and emailing. He would literally tell me he was on his way to the post office, or they were already sent. I would check the mail box a few days later, and nothing! He would actually lie to me.... this back and fourth went on numerous times. Finally i called my Dad, who paid for all of it, and he called Lance. He told Lance that if i did not get my prints by the end of the week that he could expect to be taken to small claims court. I received my prints... much to my dismay in a WalGreens package. Really, WalGreens? At that point i had had enough and thankfully my uncle took some amazing pictures that were creative and he had a great camera, so i wasnt at a total loss. I was done dealing with him. The price is pretty low, so that is the draw. And the pics that did turn out were okay, the camera was decent. But all in all, the experience was horrible. I would give him one or two stars out of five.
