And that’s just the beginning.
Meet Lucy
The name’s Lucille, but please call me Lucy. Don’t think for a second I don’t love my old-timey name, because I really do! But I also like people to know I’m in my 20s and not my 80s, cool?
When I was six years old, my parents asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. My answer? “A boss!” I didn’t know of what, but I knew I wanted to be in charge. Even at that young age, I loved the idea of endless opportunity. As I grew, that evolved into knowing and believing that my success would be measured by how hard I was willing to work.
The photo thing came as early as my dreams of being a boss. My grandfather was always taking me on little photo adventures. We would drive to the hill country and photograph sweeping landscapes and old abandoned buildings. I had no idea these trips would lead to owning my own business one day.
Then in high school, I interned for a wedding photographer. I learned the ins and the outs. When I graduated from college with a degree in music, I kept mentally going back to that internship. I remembered the air of anticipation on a wedding day that was slightly intoxicating. I remembered the confidence the photographer had and how she was able to create something so special for each couple. I knew I wanted to do that for people.
The phrases “dip a toe in,” “test the waters,” “just try and see” don’t really mean anything to me. Simply because when I decide to do something I’m allllll in. It’s why I shoot film. It’s why I still spend hours honing my craft through attending workshops and taking classes. It’s why I don’t want to be just another vendor at a wedding. I want to be the one who works the hardest and the one you trust the most.
Meet Jess
Hi, I’m Jess! Lucy and I bonded over the fact that my daughter’s name is also Lucille. What can I say, it’s a great name! I only make 5-7 jokes about how much older than her I am per wedding. Also, I make it my mission to be just as knowledgeable and invested in your day as she is.
I am a Texas native, a mother to three wild girls, and wife to a very manly bearded husband. When I’m not shooting the most gorgeous weddings, you’ll find me cooking for friends, taking care of my girls, kissing my husband, or watching endless hours of Bon Appetit videos on Youtube.
I’ve had a camera in my hand for the better part of 15 years and have spent the last 3 honing my craft as a wedding photographer. To tell you the honest-to-goodness truth, I didn’t aspire to do weddings when I began. I thought babies and children were going to be my thing. Then, I got the opportunity to assist at a wedding and I realized my calling almost immediately. The rest was, as they say…
SO what does that mean for you? Listen, I can handle your crazy bunch of groomsmen. I can handle the babies. I can handle the weird uncle who brought his camera along. I can handle weird family dynamics and mothers who want ALL the family combos. I’ve got YOU and I’ve got THIS. With me, you can expect the full Lucille Photo experience. I know how Lucy works and what she likes. And the good news? I like all the same stuff and I know how to get it done. But probably the most important part of all, I actually, really, CARE. I care about you and your partner. I care about who you are as individuals and as a couple. I want to make your wedding important ad completely memorable. Let’s have a great time. Let’s get you married. Let’s make something really beautiful.
