LJO Photography

LJO Photography is a full-service wedding photography company in Hauppauge, New York, created by photographer Laurie. Her speciality is lifestyle photography: people, expressions and the mood of the day.

A relaxed approach

The business is LGBTQ+-owned. Laurie aims for a fun, relaxed atmosphere so that subjects look natural. That helps couples who feel uneasy about the camera, and it works well when you want your friends and relatives as present in the gallery as you are.

Coverage

• Full-day wedding coverage
• Traditional family portraits
• Detail shots of the setting and decor
• Lifestyle images of guests and expressions

Getting ready for the camera

Tell her which family groupings you want and which relationships need care, such as divorced parents or relatives who are unsure about the day. A written list saves time and avoids awkward moments.

Ask for a timeline that leaves room for portraits at the best light of the evening. Full-day coverage works best when each stage, from preparation to the last dance, has a rough start time.

Book an engagement session if you would like practice before the wedding. Ask what the contract says about gallery delivery, printing rights and a backup plan.

Where she works

Her studio is in Hauppauge, in Suffolk County on Long Island. Ask about weddings in New York City or elsewhere in the region.
