Stunning photos, countless laughs, and a newfound sense of being comfortable in my skin - and dare I say, feeling beautiful. That was my experience with Lindsay and Mandy. I have never been too comfortable in front of the camera, but with them, it was very different.My husband and I were not too keen on taking engagement photos and when we first considered wedding photographers, I initially thought cheap, cheap, cheap! I wanted to save money for a honeymoon, and I just didn't think it would be a worthwhile investment. After looking at portfolios and comparing work, I immediately knew we had to go with Lumi. Seeing their work, hearing the passion, and spending time with them made me immediately understand that every dollar spent would be worth it. (it's been 8+ years and every time I see our photos I am grateful we went with them!!!). They captured all the magic and all the real that is a wedding. We are so fortunate to choose to go ahead with engagement photos and those were absolutely incredible. (We had family friends that could have sworn they were magazine photos!) I felt so incredibly comfortable with them and they made me feel so special that I even chose to do a boudoir shoot as a surprise and I cannot recommend that enough to someone who wants to feel beautiful, have a fantastic experience, and have images that document that beauty that we all have on the inside.Thank you Lindsay, Thank you Mandy. You shared the ultimate gifts with us in your talents. More...

Beatnik is amazing. My husband and I had our wedding there this past June and it was everything we wanted and more. Not only is the space beautiful, but so are the owners and staff! Karen, (our day of coordinator) gave us a stress free and perfect wedding day. Beatnik will treat you like family from the moment you walk in and beyond after saying “I do”. The brick walls, industrial cement floors and ceilings, sky lights and string lights are just some of the amazing features this venue offers. The art displayed each season has always been beautiful and it added such a special touch to our wedding day. If you’re looking for a warehouse vibe with class for any special event, don’t hesitate to visit beatnik. They don’t disappoint! More...

We have been wanting to write this review for some time now, as we have been working with LUMI for over 6 years. As a reputable full-service caterer in Sacramento, CA. , we cross paths with other professionals in our industry. It was our wedding business that first brought us meet to LUMI. Their style and down-to-earth nature, combined with their understanding of timing and events made us quickly notice them as one of the best in Sacramento. They were promptly added to our preferred vendor list that we provide to our clients. Their work is impeccable, and the product they deliver is flawless. Highly professional both onsite and leading up to your event, I speak from personal experience as I've also hired them for my family photos, and business/website marketing. Check out our website (shameless plug of our business) and see their talents. These ladies are a joy to have in your lives and the art they create will be among your most cherished memories. Hire them, call them, hang out with them... any of these choices will be time well spent. More...

Lindsay and Mandy were great! I was dreading the experience and thought it would be unpleasant but they made it painless, and, dare I say, even fun. And I look better in the photos than I do in real life! I used them for professional head-shot type photos for my business web site, but they also do a lot of weddings and fashion shoots. I would enthusiastically recommend. More...

Where do I even begin!? We weren't even sure where we were getting married when we started our photography research. We looked at Bay Area photographers, Southern California, and everywhere in between. No one compared to them.We eventually knew we were going to get married in or near our hometown of Sacramento, and we found LUMI through yelp! They didn't have too many reviews but the pictures we saw of their work amazed us! My husband met with Lindsay and they looped me in on a phone call. I could tell by the tone of my husbands voice he liked her. I was sold. We love how clean their work is and how much it captures people's emotions. We aren't in to "epic" shots on a cliff side with my veil blowing in the wind, we wanted to capture our wedding day, our faces, and the emotion of the day, they were our gals!We hadn't thought about doing engagement photos but they were included in the price and they offered to come down to us in Carmel! Let me just say that's when I really fell in love with these two! I feel so awkward getting my picture taken and they were so amazing!! We started in our house and cracked open some wine and whiskey to share. Nothing like a little liquid courage. We felt so comfortable with them, it was like having friends over.By the end of the evening I didn't want them to leave and knew we made the best decision possible. They are so easy to communicate with throughout the whole wedding planning process and make it so easy and so fun! The day of our wedding it just felt like I had two more friends hanging out with me in our hotel room. They were on the more expensive end of all the photographers we looked at but THEY ARE WORTH IT! Oh my god I cannot even tell you how much we are obsessed with our photos! We completely eliminated the videographer to make room in our budget for them, SO WORTH IT! I don't even care that we don't have a video the pictures are that good.I have nothing but amazing things to say about these two, everyone at the wedding wanted their information for future weddings, family photos, etc. I feel so lucky to have found them and to call them our friends. To sum up this long, scattered review, HIRE THEM! They are professionals, fun, kind, amazing, I'm just obsessed! We love you!Alex & Zach Melchiori Ps DO THE PHOTO BOOTH! Major success More...

I am still on a high from the beautiful event we produced last night at Beatnik Studios. We could NOT have made such magic happen without the detailed team coordination and planning efforts from Rebecca and Katherine. They were seriously THE BEST. From set-up to tear down, and all of the silly and crazy moments in between, I HIGHLY recommend Beatnik Studios and look forward to working with the team again soon! More...

August 26th, 2017! We got married and celebrated our reception at Beatnik! It was everything that we wanted! We cannot thank the staff enough for everything that they did to make our day so incredibly personal and special! Beatnik was easy breezy going and so helpful in that stressful time. Rebecca is amazing! All of the people there are incredible! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue! The added bonus were the people that were a part of it! We knew the moment we walked in that it was perfect! We give this venue 10 stars �! Thank you so much Beatnik! The Shaw's More...

We actually found them through Beatnik Studios. They're the in-house photographers. Initially wanted to do the traditional wedding through Beatnik Studios but. ..we went through our guest list and lets just say...not enough people would come. So financially it just didn't make sense to do that (Side note: would totally recommend getting married there tho! Such a pretty contemporary space that has a unique feel to it. Also, great people there too!).Back to LUMI Photography...They're the best! We had them shoot our (after) elopement. Lindsay and Mandy did everything they could to work with us and made the whole process so painless and straightforward. My husband and I are super awkward and pretty much hate taking pictures. With these ladies though...we had such a blast! We were laughing and joking the entire time. I can't fully articulate how much I love their work and how wonderful our pictures came out! The only thing I can say is this...We can't wait to have them take more pictures of us as time goes on :DThanks for making our small celebration a truly memorable one (((HUGS))) More...

It's very hard for me to write this review because words can't describe what an amazing job they did for our wedding. Lindsay and Mandy are so easy to get along with and are the best at what they do. They know how to capture just the right moments without you even knowing they are there. They weren't just vendors of our wedding they were a part of it. So happy and thankful we went with them!

My husband and I were married a month ago, but had the pleasure of working with Lumi throughout the entirety of our engagement. After choosing Beatnik Studios as our venue, we immediately decided to use Lumi for our engagement and wedding photographers. Needless to say, we haven't regretted it one bit. Mandy and Lindsay are clearly passionate about what they do and on their own are immensely talented. But working together they create a fun, relaxed atmosphere that makes being photographed such a joy. On top of that, they're extremely flexible and professional. There's so much to say but not enough words to adequately describe how grateful we are to have found them. I highly recommend Lumi for any of your photography needs and love them for capturing the best moments from our wedding experience. We are forever-followers of Lumi :) More...

My husband I found LUMI through Beatnik Studios. They are listed as a preferred photographer when you book the venue. They were the first and only photographers we met with because we just knew they were a perfect match. They made us feel comfortable, calm and I felt that they really listened to what I was asking for. I wanted real photos that showed true happiness and love. They went above and beyond our expectations. I recommend doing the engagement shoot with them, it helps you get to know them, and helps them get to know you. It also helps with getting comfortable in front of the camera. I'll be completely honest, I don't like taking photos so this was an adjustment for me. By the end of the engagement shoot I totally let loose and finally started to feel like myself and normal. On the day of the wedding, they were fantastic! We had so many relatives and friends raving about our photographers. They were so fun and happy to be there! It really felt like they were part of the wedding and not just photographers. But besides them fitting in with our family and friends they did an amazing job! I highly recommend LUMI photography for any occasion. We are so grateful to have had them part of one of the most special days in our lives and we can't wait for them to capture more unforgettable memories when we start a family of our own.

While planning our wedding, photography was our top priority. My husband and I choose LUMI Photography for our engagement and wedding photography and we couldn't be more happy with the quality of products and images we received! LUMI Photography doesn't provide a photography service, they provide a photography experience. The ladies behind the lenses of LUMI are absolutely exceptional at what they do, capturing natural, real moments in beautiful light, creative compositions, and unique style. With LUMI you're not getting the common industry standard of structured poses, forced smiles, and typical backgrounds. Instead, LUMI is all about capturing you, your family, children, or anyone and anything really, in a natural setting that brings out ones personality and reflects the feeling of that particular instance. Beyond the array of photo products they offer, all unique with a modern, fresh style, the images LUMI creates are simply stunning. They're clean, fun, bright, and elegantly classy, all of which make them timeless. Once you meet the ladies behind LUMI Photography, its not a surprise that they create such beauty. Lindsay is so comfortable with a camera in hand and makes anyone around her feel comfortable to be themselves. With a great sense of humor and adaptability, she's able to maintain a genuinely real vibe during shoots which in turn is reflected in the images. Mandy is determined. She dives deep into any project that she's working on, set out to capture the style, beauty, aura, and fragility that her artistic eye catches in each moment. Both Mandy and Lindsay are lighthearted, honest, and so easy to talk to and work with - and they're gorgeous, just another plus!If you are looking for photographers who genuinely care about what they do, will make you and your loved ones feel at ease throughout the entire process, and will convey your uniqueness and beauty in every shot, choose "like u mean it" and check out LUMI Photography!
