I had the absolute pleasure of working with Bruna from Luminous Weddings this past August and I cannot say enough great things about her! As a Wedding Planner, I always love working with talented Wedding Professionals who are willing and excited to work as a team! Bruna was certainly all of that. She was in communication with me all day, making sure that our couple had the very best day possible.

With Bruna's help, the day was absolutely flawless. We received sneak peeks with a week and they are absolutely gorgeous! I would highly recommend Luminous Weddings to anyone who is looking for classic

We are so glad we chose Luminous Weddings to photograph our wedding day!
Ryan was always so professional to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. For our engagement shoot, our original date was a downpour, but Ryan was very accommodating to move the date for us and Im so glad he did because the photos turned out beautifully!!! On the day of the wedding, Ryan and Carol showed up right on schedule and did a fantastic job with the getting ready photos they did such an excellent job and made this part of the day so much fun for the wedding party.

Ryan and Roy were an absolute dream team at our wedding. They are relaxed, professional and approachable. They captured every detail of our wedding and had smiles on their faces throughout a very long (14 hour!!) day. Ryan was so patient throughout our planning process - he answered every e-mail fast and scouted locations for perfect shots in advance of our wedding. We got our photos within a month and have hundreds of great shots. I can't recommend Luminous Weddings enough. You will not regret booking with them!

Ryan and the team were amazing, from our initial sit-down meeting to the all the way to receiving the final albums. We were recommended Luminous Weddings by a friend, and we could not have been happier. Working with them was an absolute pleasure. On our wedding day it was raining but you would never know from the pictures! We also ended up doing an engagement shoot, which I think helped establish what types of photos we wanted for the actual wedding day. Ryan was super patient with us, and not only gave us some suggestions for posed photos, but we ended up getting a lot of candid shots that were

We are so happy that Ryan was with us on our special day. Every single moment he captured is beautiful. No need to mention his professionnalisme as the photos prove it! The best part that we really want to mention is his patience and great personality. That helped us a lot to relax and enjoy the photo shoot. Thank you Luminous Weddings. You made our wedding day the most memorable day !

We booked Ryan for our wedding and our engagement shoot. We had our engagement shoot done a few weeks back and Ryan was fantastic. We are two very socially awkward human. Despite the awkwardness he made us look great, and managed to snap some seriously amazing shots. He even went as far as to make barking noises to get our dogs' attention so that they would be facing the camera for the pictures. On top on that we were told we'd receive our pictures in about 4 weeks... they came in 1.5 weeks. Couldn't be happier with our experience and truly pleased with our decision to go with Lumious Weddings
