Photos That Let You Be Present

You live in the moment. I’ll make sure you remember it.

Because the best parts of your day shouldn’t feel staged. They should feel like you.

Kind Words from Clients!

  • “It felt like us, just… on our best day.”

    From the second Lavear showed up, we felt calm. He just had this grounded presence that made the whole day feel smoother, like he was a close friend who also happened to have a camera. We didn’t feel posed or performative at all. It felt like us, just... on our best day. The photos are unreal, but more than that, they’re real. We get teary every time we look at them. It was everything we didn’t even know we wanted.

  • “It felt like hanging out with a friend who takes insane photos.”

    We were nervous about photos because we didn’t want anything stiff or cheesy. Lavear completely understood that. He brought peace to every part of the day and made us feel like ourselves. He captured the little glances, the gut-laugh moments, and the stuff no one else saw. It felt like hanging out with a friend who just happens to take insanely good photos.

    -Brikelle & Mark

  • “He made us laugh, slowed us down, and caught what mattered.”

    We wanted someone who wouldn’t make it weird. Who could handle our big families, the chaos, the tears, and still make it all feel effortless. Lavear was exactly that. He made us laugh, slowed us down when we needed to breathe, and somehow caught the tiny moments that mattered most. Our parents are obsessed with the photos. So are we. I’ve never felt more seen or more beautiful in a picture in my life.

    -Bailey & Josh

  • "He actually saw us."

    I didn’t want a photographer who made it about them. I wanted someone who actually saw us. That’s Lavear. He asked the right questions, showed up with total peace, and captured the real stuff. The laughter, the nerves, the little quiet moments, I’m so grateful we trusted him. We’ll be showing these photos to our grandkids someday.

    -Maddie & Seth

  • “Every couple needs someone like this in their corner.”

    It didn’t feel like a photoshoot. It felt like a memory. Lavear blended in when he needed to and showed up with confidence when we needed direction. I didn’t have to worry about a thing, he just got it. The photos are full of light, emotion, and honestly captured us better than I thought possible. Every couple needs someone like this in their corner on their wedding day.

    -Kate & Will

  • "He wasn’t just a photographer, he was an anchor."

    If you want someone who cares about your day as much as you do, hire Lavear. He wasn’t just a photographer; he was an anchor. He helped us stay grounded and made the day feel more meaningful. Every photo feels intentional. There’s so much heart in his work. He just got us.

    -Logan & Josi

The Lavear Whitney Wedding Experience

This isn’t just about photos. It’s about presence. It’s about peace. It’s about slowing down enough to feel the moment before it becomes a memory.

I’m Lavear, photographer, calm third wheel, and the guy who helps you breathe a little easier on your wedding day.

I didn’t grow up dreaming of being a wedding photographer. But I’ve always paid attention, to light, to people, to what matters. Somewhere along the way, I realized my favorite kind of work was the kind that helped others feel seen. That captured moments, not just poses.

That’s what led me here.

The couples I work with care deeply. They love each other, and they’re not trying to make their wedding day into a performance. They just want to be present, with their person, with their people, and trust that someone’s got their back with the camera.

That’s what I do.

Whether we’re walking through a mountain meadow or laughing with your siblings at the reception, I’m there—quiet when I need to be, confident when it counts.

This is your story. I just help you remember it clearly.

The best way to know? See for yourself.
