Above expectations
This review is to express the gratitude we have for LVP. From the moment we met the photographers Leniel and Ayah, we were impressed. Both of them were extremely professional. They were very punctual and patient when we were running behind. They went above and beyond to fulfill our needs and wants for engagement and wedding experience. They really honed in on details to capture the special moments for us. There really aren’t enough words to express how amazing our experience with them was. We highly recommend them for any photo needs you are looking for. We had three photo sessions with them for our wedding experience and we loved the photos from all sessions. We will not use any other photographers for our photo needs and we strongly recommend you take the opportunity to work with them.

My husband and I got married on 11/30/19. I had researched a TON of photographers to the point where I was going to give up because they were either out of budget or they weren’t my style. A coworker of mine recommended Leniel and Ayah. I looked at their IG and their website and immediately thought “I can’t afford these pics, they’re too good”. But on the insistence of my coworker I reached out for a quote….and to my surprise in budget (WEDDING WIN). we booked the classic collection (which i didn’t know included an engagement session and Leniel caught that i booked a separate engagement session-Another WEDDING WIN). I am not a phototaker, i feel completely awkward and uncomfortable but Leniel and Ayah made us both feel comfortable. During our engagement photos we had picked 2 nearby locations which they accommodated (mural and beach). Leniel went over the allotted time in order to make sure he got all the shots and let me tell you the ones at the end were our favorite and what we used for our save the dates…..TRUST HIS VISION. We got the pictures much quicker than i had anticipated and when i struggled with getting the pictures onto my etsy save the date template….Leniel and Ayah assisted (ABOVE AND BEYOND). Then came our wedding (THE BEST DAY EVER). We took so many pictures and ended up with around 700 pictures. I ended up adding to the album because i couldn’t pick only 40 favorites. I do recommend that if there are certain shots on the day of the wedding you let Ayah know because the day of YOU will forget. We had a phone call about 1 week before the wedding and discussed all the final details/shots we wanted. Leniel and Ayah were very accommodating again with having our dog in photos, wanting to go to the beach and my mother requesting additional pictures. Everything went amazing and I literally cannot wait to hire them again in the future for upcoming events. Trash the dress photoshoot? I think so! 🙂

I know so many people who are unhappy with their wedding photos. But I can’t say the same. I am absolutely blown away with the work this couple puts into their job. I did some shopping around but every time I thought I had the right photographer for my big day, something just wasn’t cutting it. Whether it was the price, what their packages offered, the date not being available, or I just wasn’t feeling their vibe. When I met Leniel and Ayah they were extremely professional and put everything out on the table.
No fine print or secrets their contracts and portfolio says it all. I felt so comfortable and confident every step of the way. I booked ASAP because I knew I wasn’t going to find anyone like this duo. We scheduled engagement photos next and this was the day my husband was to meet them. He’s very camera shy and does not like his picture taken. So with that known, Leniel and Ayah coached him allowing him to let loose. We laughed and smiled throughout the shoot and it made things very easy and exciting. They had the photos back to us within 3 weeks and they could not have been more perfect. 9 month go by and it’s wedding rehearsal.
I cannot express the appreciation of the phone call Ayah and I had. she likes to know the family/friend dynamics that way no one feels uncomfortable and everyones happy. Wedding day is here. We are on schedule and photographers are ready to work. My absolute favorite thing about them is that they enjoy the candid moments and captured them amazingly. From the getting ready process to the first look carried into the reception. The smiles, the tears, the happiness, the glow in people’s eyes were captured and I can appreciate the beauty in their work. I’d highly recommend LVP PHOTOGRAPHY, you won’t be disappointed and I cannot wait for our future photoshoots to come.

Leniel and Ayah are simply amazing! We did both an engagement session with them as well as our wedding. They made us feel relaxed, comfortable and like we were hanging out with old friends by the time of our wedding day.
With so much chaos, it was such a relief to have them on our side and know that we were going to have beautiful memories! Our friends and family also commented on how spectacular they were both onsite as well as with the photos I have shared. I can only hope to work with them on many more milestones in the future!

Wow, wow, wow. What a great photography company. I have a photojournalism degree and took the photographers aside to discuss my wishes as the ceremony approached. As I was talking, I realized that they already understood. I didn’t want the “standard” shot, I wanted the story – the “back” story and the candids. They described their approach and I appreciated. More than that, they DELIVERED!!! Within days we got a shot video to whet our appetite and then a few days later the full complement of the photos online.
While making my toast to my daughter and her husband I referenced something from high school. Although the photographers knew nothing about it, they actually capture the two other “culprits” in the crowd. They took a photo of their reaction to my inside joke and it is a precious capture of the moment! The photographer looked and recorded genuine emotions from the family, the wedding party and the wedding guests. This is a great company to work with and they will capture the moments that you want to keep forever!

Best Team Ever!!
Leniel and Ayah are such an amazing team together! They both put you right at ease and make the entire experience so much fun and personable. Taking photos can be very awkward however, like everyone has been saying they make you feel so comfortable and make it such a memorable experience.
Wedding planning can be stressful and overwhelming however they are very responsive to any questions, very organized and professional. Leniel and Ayah really work at making sure they capture your vision. They are very communicative and ensure you get the pictures/look you want. They have a great selection of wedding package to choose from and make it easy to share your pictures once completed ( in a great timely manner).
They are also flexible in customizing a package for you as/if needed. Once you see their pictures they speak for themselves. Their pictures are absolutely stunning and you can see how they capture all the emotions/personalities. You will have the best pictures and memories documented! I really can’t say enough great things about them! we cannot wait to work with them again in the future!

Talented and Passionate
I was introduced to Lenny and Ayah through a friend that hired them as her wedding photographers. After seeing her results I had to contact them!
Having Lenny and Ayah as our wedding photographers has been amazing. We booked them almost a year prior to our wedding date and they were very flexible with me and my husband’s schedules. During the wedding they were so attentive and to be honest Ayah was the one that kept me sane.
Lenny and Ayah was constantly communicating with me and the bridal party, making sure that we all knew what was going on prior to the ceremony starting. She almost played a bigger role than my wedding day planner!
Meanwhile, Lenny was taking the most amazing shots of us and is so good at teaching us how to look GOOD! When we first did our engagement session with Lenny and Ayah, we were so awkward with the camera, they definitely walked us through better positioning and controlling our face better for the photos. So when it came to the wedding day, we just needed a brush up on our modeling skills. Haha!
After the wedding, my family hosted a different banquet with some people that did not attend the actual wedding. My father asked if Lenny could send a few rough copies of wedding photos to share at the banquet. Not only did they send us a generous amount, they spent long nights editing the photos and rushed them to us within TWO days!! Within a month (4 weeks) we received all the photos taken from the wedding day. The photos are so beautiful and constantly remind me how magically perfect that night was. (as photographs should!)
The photos captured the beauty of the venue and the joy that everyone was experiencing. They are so passionate about their work and you see that they truly enjoy what they do. I would recommend them to my friends and family for sure!

When planning a wedding, you find yourself asking “what must I have, and what can I live without?” Finding a photographer was one the must haves for me because we will cherish these photos forever, even after we are gone our family can look back at these beautiful photos.
Lenny and Ayah are a fantastic team to work with, from the beginning discussions, during the wedding day, to even after when we received our photos (less than a month BTW!). They were very professional, and yet very personable with the help of their Instagram stories (follow them @lvpphotography24). I hired them a year before the wedding, and while I was on Instagram patiently waiting for that year to end I was able to learn what their process is, how they interact with the couples, and the little details they mentioned in weddings that even helped me plan mine!
My husband and I are so happy with our photos, and we are so gracious that they were helpful with my vision as well as using their vision to capture these breathtaking shots. We definitely recommend Leniel V. Photography to capture your next big or intimate event, as you will be astounded by their professionalism, attention to detail, and their kind & helpful personalities!
Aubrey & Erick | Bridges Auditorium, Claremont, CA
Honestly, the best decision we made for our wedding! Lenny and Ayah were absolutely amazing. They definitely knew what they were doing the entire day, from getting certain shots before the ceremony even started to asking for family members to come take pictures and of course just being awesome. Ayah was so helpful with my dress and veil and getting everything in place while we were taking pictures.
All I can say is book them and you will not be disappointed! We booked them a year in advance and I suggest you do the same just because their pictures are breathtaking. Also, as hot as it was the day of our wedding, looking at the pictures you wouldn’t have even known. We hope to work with you again in the future! We are forever grateful! Thank you! Thank you!

BEST photographers ever. Lenny and Ayah were the only photographers we met with in our search for our big day – after meeting them, it was a no brainer that they were the right people. They are true professional and made us feel very comfortable while taking our photos. They were very open and super flexible with different photos we wanted to get. Our photos came out BEAUTIFULLY. They are very personable and warm people and work very well as a team, we will definitely be return customers for the next big events in our lives! One million times I would recommend them to any one searching!!!

I wish I could put into words how amazing and talented Lenny is. When we started planning our wedding we looked at hundreds of photographers and no one seemed right. We came across Leniel’s work at a bridal expo and both knew immediately that we found the right photographer. Everyone in our party loved them for different things:
Leniel knows exactly how to work with the light, his photographs aren’t heavily edited, Ayah was so helpful with random things (including my dress ripping moments before the first look & helping a guest learn a line dance), everyone felt at ease with them, super quick turn around time, and they just are simply amazing. Photography was one of the most important aspects in our wedding and now looking back at all our photos, I can’t believe we found a team that just knocked it out of the park.
They got every picture we could imagine and so much more. I can’t thank them enough for their creativity, kindness, and all around hard work. I couldn’t be happier with our photos.
