Lukas & Suzy International Wedding Photographers bio picture
  • WELCOME!

    Welcome to the blog! If the banner doesn't make it obvious enough I'll just spill the beans and let you know that we are a full time husband and wife wedding photography team. We love life, God, weddings, and if you slide over our names to the left you'll note a few other things we love.

    We are based out of Los Angeles, and when I say that, I mean our studio is right in the smack dab center of downtown. However, if you start browsing through the blog history you will soon note that we shoot weddings all over the country and world. We put a lot into making our images so I hope you enjoy checking some of them out!

    If you're up for having a great time at your wedding, and our photos have the look you are going for, then feel free to shoot us a note and we would love to chat some more!

McGee House Wedding Venue {Stylized Shootout} | Lexington/ Louisville, Kentucky

Some of you probably saw our blog last October where Lukas vaguely referred to the fact that we may or may not be opening up a wedding venue. Well, there is more news to be had on that score, so you will have to keep your eye out for future blog posts with more information on that.;)

Last week I hosted a stylized wedding shootout for photographers at the McGee House wedding venue near Lexington, KY. It was so much fun meeting so many talented artists from across Kentucky and Cincinnati. I also had fun handmaking little details for the shoot late into the night in preparation. While I was brainstorming what details I wanted to add, I was inspired by the different fabrics I had styled for the bride’s room in our last KY shoot. I thought, how fun would it be to weave mismatched fabric details throughout the shoot?

Thank you to all my fabulous vendors who made the day so special! Magnolia Floral Designs for the lovely flowers (how amazing is that hair piece? She whipped it up on the spot!) and fabric wand, the talented Lacey Abigail for hair and makeup, Simply Bridal for the gorgeous gowns, Antiquaria for the menus and invitations, The Twisted Sifter for the cake, and A.J. & Brittany Allison for modeling! My sweet friend Amandalin Ryan helped me not only coordinate, but also jumped in last minute as a second model! The location is the fabulous McGee House wedding venue in Harrodsburg, KY.

Magnolia Floral Design - We had a great time on this stylized shoot in Harrodsburg Kentucky! We made new friends (so glad you called Suzy VanDyke :) And discovered a new super cool ultra rustic / charming venue in the McGee House. All in all, a great day. Enjoy the images!

Curtis & Marissa {Wedding} Grace Community Church, California

If you remember Curtis & Marissa’s engagement photos a few weeks ago you will remember they both just finished school to become doctors and are entering their residency directly after their wedding. They are both in different hospitals, but both get to stay in Los Angeles. To God be the glory that they will get to be together right after being married. In the past I think we can all say we have had good and bad experiences with doctors visits, so I am excited two more amazing people will be entering the indsutry. It’s a hard job, and I am thankful for people like you two! Thank so much for letting Suzy and I be a part of your day. I especially enjoyed watching the “get to know the couple” game at the reception. You two are hilarious! Enjoy a few of my favorites below, or check out some more here.

Isaac & Kristie {Wedding} Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, California

Happy Monday everyone! I’ve known Isaac for about 10 years now, and in all the times our paths have crossed I don’t think I have ever seen him not smiling. He is genuinely happy  all the time. I haven’t known Kristie for quite as long, but she is so sweet, and they are the perfect match for each other. It was so fun getting to see you two married! Thanks so much for letting us be a part, and enjoy some of my favorites below.
