Lori Waltenbury Photographer

Lori is the best photographer. She and her husband made our day so special, and we couldn't have been happier with our photos. They made us very comfortable and were truly one of our favourite highlights from that day! Couldn't recommend her enough. I will be using Lori again and again <3

Lori has done two family photoshoots for us over the past two years. We have an energetic 2 year old daughter, and taking good photos with a toddler can be challenging. Lori is amazing at working with children to make them feel comfortable and have fun, which results in the best photos. She has a great eye and has taken the most beautiful pictures of us. I love how she knows about so many "secret" spots around Toronto which I am unaware of despite living here my whole life. She also shares lots of photos with you, unlike some photographers who will only give you 20 photos or something, despite them taking way more than that. Thank you so much, Lori! You are the best :

Lori was our wedding photographer & we couldn't be happier with our photos! She knew our venue inside and out and captured tons of gorgeous photos both inside and outdoors. She truly has such an incredible eye, and captured so many special, candid moments during the ceremony & reception that we love revisiting. She was also very flexible and accommodating with taking the types of photos we felt best represented us as a couple, while also offering so many creative ideas that turned out beautifully. She was incredibly kind to everyone present for the photos, making everyone feel so relaxed and at ease during the photo taking and the afternoon leading up to the ceremony a breeze. She was an absolute pleasure to deal with and extremely professional leading up to & during the wedding -- I certainly felt so much stress alleviated during planning knowing she was our photographer. You will be in excellent hands with Lori & couldn't recommend her enough!

I could not be more happy that I chose Lori as our photographer for my family's photoshoot! She is incredibly talented and captured our family better than I could have ever envisioned. The photos from our shoot are not only artistically beautiful and timeless, but they also capture so much emotion which is not something that is easy to achieve. We will cherish these photos for years to come! And, on top of all that, Lori is such a kind, warm person who made us feel completely at ease during the shoot. She was also very responsive throughout all our communication and delivered our photos quickly! Such an amazing experience and I could not be more thankful for having chosen her! Thank you again, Lori!

I don't think I could say enough about how much I loved working with Lori. Organized, flexible and reliable - Lori is a bride's dream. Her personality is standout; she is honest and genuine in highly-competitive, highly-commercialized wedding world. Above all else, her work is phenomenal - creative, intentional, personal and visually breathtaking. I won't be hesitating to hire her to capture the life events to come.

Lori is an exceptional photographer! My daughter, Tanya, and son-in-law, Michael, had their engagement and wedding photos taken by Lori and she was absolutely spectacular! The photos are so natural and beautiful, always the perfect lighting and clarity. She made everyone feel relaxed and was able to capture the mood of the occasion and all those partaking in it. She is professional and so kind and responsive. I recommend her highly!!!

We worked with Lori both as our wedding photographer and for a recent family/maternity session and her work is just unparalleled. She has perfected the art of beautiful stylized candids, which she does not only by having an amazing eye for composition and editing but by also being a genuine and likeable human being. She puts her subjects at such ease that their authentic selves come to light. Instead of sterile posed portraits you get works of art that truly capture the human beings they feature and the energy and spirit of that moment in time. She was also so patient with our toddler at our family session, allowing him to live through his impulses on a hot summer day while still getting the most amazing candids and portraits of him. Her turnaround given how busy she is is also phenomenal. I could not recommend Lori more.

Lori shot our wedding October 18th, 2013 at the Rosewater Room in Toronto. From the very first meeting Lori made an awesome impression and really developed a relationship with us to make us feel comfortable. Throughout the planning process Lori was always so professional and organized, it made everything move so smoothly. The day of the wedding Lori was so personable and really made the wedding photos enjoyable. We loved how natural the photos felt as she was taking them. There was not a lot of "posing" and fake smiles, she was able to catch so many awesome natural photos that turned out amazing. During the wedding reception she made a point to take pictures of not only us, the bride and groom but wonderful photos of the people that mean so much to us - she really thought of everything. Lori's attention to detail is amazing. All the photos we received after the wedding are beautiful and they make me want to show everyone!. I will be recommending Lori to everyone. Not only is her work amazing, but she is an amazing person who truly cares about her work. She honestly felt like family the day of the wedding. All of our friends were commenting on how amazing our photographer was... and we agree!! We also had the photo booth at the wedding which we highly recommend. It was a major hit and it was nice for our guests to have a memento of the day. Thanks again Lori!

We used Lori for our wedding in 2012 and she absolutely blew us away! Lori is very easy to work with and a complete professional. She captured our special day day with enthusiasm and creativity and it shows in every picture. We used her photo booth at our reception and every single guest had a fun time and still rave about it. We highly recommend Lori, She captured our most special day in the most beautiful and creative ways and we will always cherish the photographs.
