Lisa Stone Photography
I'm Lisa, the owner of Lisa Stone Photography. If you would have known me growing up, you would have been surprised if I didn't become a photographer. After working in a darkroom and watching my photographs come to life, I was hooked! I started my business and photographed my first wedding in 2008.

After working in the industry for many years, I went back to school and finished my Masters Degree in Photography in 2019. In my spare time you can find me working on various art projects, taking care of my houseplants, and more recently trying to master the art of Indian cooking!

Lisa did a wonderful job shooting our engagement photos and our wedding. She is incredibly professional and easy to communicate with. Our engagement photo shoot was our first professional photo shoot and we don't consider ourselves incredibly comfortable in front of a camera, but Lisa made us feel really comfortable. She gave the perfect amount of direction, but also let us be ourselves. The photos she took at our wedding were perfect. She captured the day and the vibe perfectly and took some really special photos that we cherish.

I’ve been working with Lisa for years. She knows how to photograph me in the best way and I always love the photographs. I referred her for my friend’s wedding and I’m so happy I did. The photos are AMAZING and they were really happy. I highly recommend her!

We had our wedding in August of 2021. We loved working with Lisa as our photographer and would highly recommend her. She was calm, compassionate, flexible, had great communication and welcomed our feedback throughout the day. The pictures turned out great, both candid and posed. We got so many great compliments from our family and friends about her work. Pictures are such an important part of a special day. We are glad we went with Lisa to capture the memories and feeling of the moment!

Rather than a former client of Lisa's who has had a single photoshoot with Lisa, I'm actually a professional photographer myself who has worked with Lisa Stone for almost a decade - and have worked with her countless times. She is one of the most reliable shooters I have ever had the pleasure of working with - not only in terms of showing up and having a great personality, but also in terms of the quality of her photographers. I have never met a photographer who shoots as consistently well as Lisa Stone. You will be in amazing hands with Lisa and I cannot recommend her enough :D

I've admired Lisa's work for many years, and finally had the chance to work with her. Lisa is an extraordinary photographer and a joy to work with. Communication with her was clear and easy, she understood out needs and wants, arrived on time to our wedding and delivered stunning images. If you're looking for a photographer, you can't go wrong with Lisa Stone!

We were really lucky to have Lisa as our photographer for our post-COVID vow-renewal/wedding reception event and we would give her and her team 10 stars if we could! Lisa was wonderful to work with from Day 1. She is extremely talented and pays attention to the unique needs of your event and your style. She worked with us before the event to discuss the format of our event and what moments and portraits were important for us to capture. On the day of the event she executed this perfectly and we were blown away by the beautiful photographs from our event. We highly recommend Lisa and wouldn't look

My husband and I were very dissatisfied with our engagement session we did with a different photographer and decided to book Lisa last minute for our COVID-style elopement instead. What a night and day difference!! Worth every penny and a dream to work with! Lisa managed to put me at ease even though I hate being photographed. I couldn't have imagined better photos. Honestly, some of the shots look straight out of a Disney fairy tale. Our family and friends are equally blown away at the results! Highly recommended!!

Lisa was our wedding photographer, we cannot believe how amazing our photographs have turned out. We are so pleased, we love her work! She is professional, helpful and friendly. She managed to capture our special day perfectly, allowing us to share our day with our distanced family members, which means a lot. *The photograph may appear blurry because it is high resolution*

My husband and I got married in 2014 and Lisa took our photos. She did such an amazing job documenting the little things and we were more that happy with how she captured our special day! In 2016 we were getting ready to welcome our first born and she captured our maternity photos and once again we couldn't have been more happy with how she captured some special and sweet moments. She's so talented that we recommended her to 6 other friends who were getting married. You won't be disappointed if you choose Lisa to capture your special occasions.

The photos from our wedding were spectacular!
Every photo.... even the ones we weren’t in were completely special. The team were ninjas hiding and then being right where you wanted them.
Every moment I thought to myself
“ that would be a great photo!”
Lisa was already taking the shot of my dreams

You NEED Lisa if you are trying to find a wedding photographer. What an AMAZING experience!!! Our original wedding photographer bailed 2 weeks before our wedding, and my friend referred me to Lisa. I was freaking out and she set my mind at ease while making sure she had a very clear idea of what I was hoping for. I got ALL of the pictures I wanted and a TON of beautiful photos I didn't think would be my favorites. To be honest, my favorite photos were the ones she suggested and took of us in our front yard. The posed photos were lovely and she took such great candid shots! I can't recommend

Lisa Stone Photography, what can I say. Working with Lisa was truly a pleasure. Lisa was very easy to work from initial phone calls and emails to the day of. She was very aware of the timing of each event and made sure to be at the right places all at the right times. You can truly see the passion she has in what she does, as a result her work is amazing. I would highly recommend Lisa Stone Photography for any event.

Pros:
-price- worth it 100% and competitive!
-Calm personality and positive vibe/ demeanor. Very easy to work with and helps you feel comfortable
- during the wedding, she blended in the background. Loved that she was non-obtrusive yet still got great shots
- she captures the moments of warmth and intimacy without getting in yo' face. Wonderful artist.
In the end , you have to go with the right photographer for you I.e. Someone who's photography style you mesh with thus I recommend checking out her website/ instagram.
- her second shooter was also very pleasant to work with and had

Lisa’s work is incredibly soulful and versatile. She’s not just a wedding photographer, but a skilled visual artist and storyteller. She took the most breathtaking photos for our summer outdoor wedding in Sonoma, and managed to overcome unpredictable changes in light, settings, and timing. She was delightfully calm and professional, and magically imperceptible: She found the beauty of each moment, and captured it with her camera, without any of us noticing. That is true talent!
While going through the photo collection she put together for us, I felt each of my emotions from that day in every

Lisa is without a doubt one of the most hard working, passionate and talented photographers you'll ever meet. She is an expert at capturing moments and does so beautifully. Her approach to photographing weddings is one of a true professional. I have had the pleasure of witnessing her work first-hand and her thoughtfulness, technical expertise, and dedication to capturing amazing shots is unmatched. Her creative approach to portraits is one of many things that are so remarkable about her photos, I was blown away by how beautiful they turned out when I saw the finished result. Best of all, Lisa

Lisa Stone is honestly one of the hardest working and most talented photographers that I have ever worked with. I say this as someone who works in photography professionally and qualify her lever of skill. She dedicates time and effort to crafting every image. Each image in her weddings tell a story and have a clear and defined purpose. Lisa also happens to be one of the best technical shooters I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Honestly look at her image quality relative to other photographers - you won't find someone better. In addition to that she is kind and beyond sensitive

Lisa did our wedding photography earlier this summer (the San Jose Rose Garden and Dynasty Restaurant in Cupertino for the reception) and we couldn't have been happier with the experience and the results! First and foremost the photos were gorgeous - the moments were captured in a very graceful photojournalistic style, and almost every great moment I remember from the wedding day made its way into the photo gallery. She and the 2nd photographer she brought were everywhere while still blending into the flow of the event - super stealth! Leading up to the event and in the photo processing afterward

Lisa Stone is amazing! We couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture our wedding. She has a great eye, is very professional, and extremely friendly. She made us feel comfortable and relaxed during formal shoots. She's also very organized and kept in touch with us during our wedding planning to make sure things were going well, and to work with us to create a photo timeline. We are in love with the engagement photos and wedding photos she took! We would definitely recommend her to everyone looking for a wonderful photographer.

A lot of outcomes in life are thanks to luck and timing. And us finding Lisa was due to that. We originally were going with another photographer who was set up to do one of our engagement shoots as well. We still went with him due to his great pricing for the e-shoot, but he let us know that he was moving out of the country due to family in Asia. I actually found Lisa initially through a Facebook suggested post for wedding photography. I browsed at her lovely work online and saw her fair price list. So, afterwards we emailed her asking if we may be able to meet up with her to discuss our

Lisa was a total gem! We discovered her through a bridal fair at my future wedding venue in Pleasanton. She did our engagement pictures a few weekends ago and did a spectacular job.

Lisa was very responsive from the beginning (my favorite trait in a vendor :) ) She always got back to me quickly and was able to reschedule really easily when the day planned was rainy. In addition, she took it upon herself to research locations in the area for me, and drove out early to scope out some places! She was friendly and made us feel comfortable and have fun, which was a concern for me since my fiance isn

Every wedding is beautiful and unique. You definitely can't afford not to keep memories of this special day. My husband and I are so glad that we are able to look at our wedding photos and still have that smile on our faces. Lisa did a great job on how our wedding pictures turned out. I personally couldn't ask for anything more. She was professional, flexible and listens to your ideas and requests on how you want your photos to look like. We had pictures from SF City Hall, Palace of Fine Arts and Golden Gate Bridge. All of them turned out to be just perfect! I love the details on the
