L&M Photography

Michael found me on my trip to Hawaii and glad he did! I had an absolutely amazing time shooting! Michael brought along a posing book which was definitely helpful when we ran out of ideas. I got to see the pictures as the morning progressed and each time they were looking more and more wonderful! This company should be professional already!

L&M is the way to go for any type of shoot! Michael and his funny yet professional team made the process very comfortable for me and my fiancé (who hates taking pictures). The prices are AMAZING and his work is even more. We were able to see most of the pictures after the shoot (without editing) and I was sooo HAPPY. I couldn’t believe the amazing work they did, thank you so much for the amazing time and the amazing pictures, you truly have a gift!!!

We booked L&M for an outdoor photoshoot. My husband and I totally like the professional way of Michael. He is really nice and provides the best service. Any question you have, Michael will explain to you very detailed. Thanks Michael a lot for our perfect shots in Hawaii.

Having Michael and Lester photograph our wedding was one of the best decisions I had ever made. Michael was very prompt with response time and helpful. With only a month worth of preparations, they made us feel at ease and was open to suggestions on what we wanted. They took a proactive approach in asking us about details that I had overlooked and mentioned vendors that we could possibly look into.
The day of our wedding, L&M Photography was very professional, efficient and friendly. When asking my grandparents to pose I noticed that they had treated them with respect and Michael even referred to my grandfather as «tata!» In today’s rambunctious business world, it is difficult to find mindful, courteous and hardworking young people! That alone, is a very good reason to give them a call. Their assistant, Derrick, was also extremely polite and well-​mannered.
If you are looking for photographers for your next event/​photo shoot then seriously consider L&M Photography. It had never dawned on me until now but if you want to hire professionals to do the job it is critical to be aware of personality types. Each and every one of our family members felt comfortable posing for the photos. I personally hate being barked orders on where to place my hands and they did nothing of that sort. Lastly, both promised 2 – 4 edited photos the day after our wedding and they delivered! Each photo was beautiful and taken at the right moment. We can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures though we know that it will all be great!
Thank you so much Michael and Lester for being amazing photographers and people!

Awesome experience every time I use these guys. They never have disappointed my family and I. From newborn pics to intimate family photos, Mike and Lester and their crew are always professional, innovative, and attentive to our needs. We have sat for them 3 times and we will continue to use this service. Their buisness is always evolving. They constantly upgrade equipment for the best shots and always are learning new techniques for the best picture. We just love these guys.

L and M photography is awesome! We love our engagement pictures! Michael did a fantastic job during the shoot and outcome of our photos. He even made my camera shy fiancé smile. It is clear to see that Michael enjoys his job and has a great passion being a photographer. We give him ¹¹⁄₁₀ for his great sevice, responsiveness, professionalism, value and flexibility towards requests of client. We wanted sunset photos and fireworks, and so we did! He’s very creative, positive, confident and very friendly. Special thanks to Lester, Rozaleah, and Melissa who also helped us the whole time. It turned out to be a great night, we all had fun and blast. We highly recommend L and M photography to cover any special events/​occasions to come.

Was wanting to get some family photos done to commemorate our time in Hawaii. Was put in touch with L and M photography by a friend at work and was thouroughly impressed. First I mesaged them through facebook to set up a shoot. They promptly replied to my request and set up a shoot just before the holidays and I was on a time crunch because my husband was leaving the island. We went to Lanikai beach in Kailua at 0645 to get the Sunrise. It was beautiful. Mike and Lester were shooting the pics at the same time. It took about an hour and the team had all kinds of suggestions and ideas for posing and perspective. It only took slightly more than a week to get the edited photos, which I am pretty sure is unheard of SO FAST!!! Not ony was it fast but the photos are ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! They captured us so well. There were excellent candid shots and the posed shots looked so natural. I can not say enough about how impressed I was with the service and product we recieved. Thanks so much guys!!! Suggesting to all our friends in Hawaii!!!

We decided to renew our vows last minute while we were on vacation in hawaii… after being inspired by my brothers beach wedding we decided to renew ours as well… found a wedding gown in chinatown and the sales ladies referred L&M Photography to us… we called them while in the shop and they agreed to meet us the next day wow! Since we only had a few more days left in hawaii we were so happy that they were able to sneak us in their schedule. They are located in Waipahu and we were in North Shore, they drove all the way to turtle bay to do the shoot. They arrived at exactly the same time we agreed upon. Lester and Michael were very nice and very professional and fun at the same time. They came with an assistant who helped do my wifes hair and makeup! When it was time to do the shoot they told us to act natural and not to worry cause they will help us out. My wife was very nervous about the shoot but they helped her be at ease. They helped suggest some poses, the shoot became fun and exciting. We shot at a few different locations in the resort with them just taking their time making sure we loved what we were doing. They would show us a few of the pics that they took and they looked great! They even drove us to a remote location by the water to do one scene… amazing…After 4hrs of shooting we decided to call it a day.
Not done yet… on the same day after the shoot, me and my wife were hanging out at different beaches and stumbled upon an area which we thought would look great as wedding pic backgrounds. We texted Michael and he accommodated our request, he showed up the next day and we continued our shoot. He met us at the resort and we both drove down to where the secret spot is. The shoot went great and we soon had the shots that we hoped for. How awesome is that!!!
We just got back from Hawaii a cpl days ago and now they are sending us sneak peaks of pictures they took and are leaving us breathless! They are sending the rest on a disc after they edit them. WE CANT WAIT!!!
We highly recommend L&M Photography, Thank you Michael and Lester for a most memorable experience!!!

Mike and Lester shot my friend’s Army homecoming and son’s first birthday party. The resulting pictures were so fabulous that I decided to ask Mike if they could shoot my husband’s Navy homecoming for us. I asked him 6 months out to reserve a vague idea of a date as no date or details would be firmed up until much closer to the actual homecoming. I had lots of questions and suggestions in advance and Mike got back to me right away with helpful ideas. The time of the homecoming got first pushed back the day of and then pushed to the following day. The team was so fantastic being «on call» awaiting notification of the new time or day.
The day of the actual event, Mike and Lester showed up with their team and two assistants and got right to work shooting the surrounding area and candids of myself and my friends. I completely forgot they were there until after I had greeted my husband and there was a lull in activity and the two of them suggested a few poses or backgrounds for photos. This was so awesome because I could go about the business of cheering on the homecoming and seeing my husband without worrying about posing for pictures or making sure the moment was being captured.
Only a few hours after the homecoming, I received an email with a «sneak peek» of several shots and they were OUTSTANDING. I couldn’t even remember the pictures being taken.
Barely a week later, I received a disc with tons of pictures. They were incredible! They range from artsy to touching candids to formally posed photos. And because both Mike and Lester were shooting, I got different style portraits.
I am booking them to do a series of lifestyle shoots for us and I plan to ask them to make Christmas cards for us.
They are incredible!

I SUCK at posing… there is probably not a picture out there where I give myself a wonky eye or double chin. I was apprehensive about taking engagement and wedding photos, because it’s super expensive and results vary. Plus double chin.
I got the referral to L & M through my fiancé. I’m so glad I did! Mike, Lester, and their assistant Mel :) were so helpful and encouraging, and showed me how to hold my head and pose without looking stupid and forced. They showed up on time at a$$ o clock in the morning at Lanikai Beach. Unknowing to me, they were constantly shooting with two cameras, so they got tons of candid pics of me and my fiancé that were sweet and captured the emotion of the moment. My favorite is a shot they got where we were both laughing; I’ve decided to print and frame it! They were very professional and knew what to do to encourage both of us to have fun and forget the cameras were there.
Better yet, the turnaround time was almost nothing. I had a CD of the best 200 prints in my hands within two days, and a few sample pictures emailed that night. I can’t imagine working with some of these photographers that hold onto the pictures for months and don’t return calls. Forget that. Thank you so much L&M!
