When I first met with Jenelle she was looking for a photographer who could handle her friends. I get this a lot. Apparently people think I am a fun photographer to work with…I believe they are right. However, I had no idea what I was walking into with this one.  I used to live in San Diego right next to a Marine base (Camp Pendleton) and I became friends with many Navy Seals down in Coronado….so I got this right?  I can hang with these guys and still deliver some outstanding images.  By midday we were strutting along the waters edge of New Haven in Storm Trooper masks.  Onlookers were terrified!  The good times never let up, Ed and Jenelle’s wedding story below is a testament to that.


This wedding truly tested my skills as a photographer.  I am very pleased with the end result and look forward to similar awesome weddings in the future.

Words from the bride!

“Luke was able to handle our rambunctious wedding party with class and capture some fantastic shots! I’m so glad he kept us on schedule too. A big thanks to Luke for letting us get creative. I would highly recommend! Great value considering he stayed with us for the whole day!!” -Jenelle
