ABOUT YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

LOLA ANDRÉ

There’s so much joy tucked into everyday life, and I love using my camera to hold onto those pieces of it. Whether I’m photographing an intimate wedding or an afternoon with your family, my goal is always the same:  to create images that make you wish you could relive those exact moments. I love how photography invites others into my perspective on how I visualize moments, but also challenges me step into your version of the narrative. The creative process continues after the wedding day or session is over because once I’m behind my laptop screen, I get to begin the selection and editing of images that I believe tell your story best. Every session gets my full devotion to telling the story of that day whether it was just an hour long photoshoot or a full wedding day. I think it’s so special to be able to create and gift a gallery that truly replicates the time when the photos were taken. 

I never planned on becoming a photographer. While working as a Social Media Coordinator at my church, I picked up a camera for the first time. You might expect me to say something just clicked, but it actually didn’t. It wasn’t until later that I realized I was getting to relive the joy people experienced in church week after week. I loved looking back on moments of people gathering, worshiping, and simply enjoying each other’s presence. I also loved editing and shaping those captured moments into a cohesive story and visual style that reflected our community.

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m usually doing something that fills me up, such as dancing, finding new non-toxic lifestyle swaps, thrifting, browsing farmers markets and lifting weights. By focusing on habits that keep me feeling good inside and out, I believe that I can show up better for others.
