Vendor Highlight: Lacey Yantis of Visions of Romance

Wedding Photography by Visions of RomanceWhat is your name and company?
Lacey Yantis of Visions of Romance 

What inspired you to start your business?
Studying photography in the mid 1990s, I quickly fell in love with creating art through the lens of the camera. My own destination wedding took place in Lanikuhonua, Hawaii surrounded by 115 loving family and friends.  These two personal experiences and having the honor of working with our incredibly, artistic photographer resonated within me.  My love of photography combined with the passion, emotions and imagery of a wedding is what I wanted for my family owned and run business.

What sets you apart from other vendors in your field?
It is not really about pretty pictures, best compositions or perfect poses.  To me photography is about creating emotionally meaningful images.  It is about capturing something intangible that brings happiness and inspires.  I want my photography to show couples how beautiful they are, how precious their love is and how much they mean to the people around them. 

What's your style?Lacey of Visions of Romance captures the beauty of her couple
I believe that your wedding day is the first chapter in your new family story.  Our photographers and cameras become your storyteller meticulously capturing the images of your story as it naturally unfolds throughout the wedding day. Our mix of candid and beautifully composed shots capture the true essence of your wedding as it unfolds.  We are devoted to being there to get the shot naturally. Not only do we record the big events but carefully capture all of the telling details that make your wedding so special. By focusing on the bride and groom, their emotions and the relationships with family and friends, the photographs create a natural and honest record of your wedding day.  You will be able to relive your wedding as it happened from start to finish. 

What is the main thing that makes you unique?Telling love stories behind the lens by Visions of Romance
It’s not primarily about the camera or being a photographer.  The camera allows me to create and tell stories capturing the beauty that I see. I love to hear the pieces of people’s lives – the “why” behind their relationship. Stories are the threads in the fabric of our lives they make us and all of our relationships unique. It is the ability to turn spontaneous, romantic wedding moments into innovative images that are creative and artistic.

I am extremely passionate about creating authentic, genuine images of couples in love.

What are you most proud of?
Our brides and grooms extend an invitation for us to participate on one of the most important days of their lives. We are one of many hired professional vendors.  Along the journey to create the wedding photography package of the couple’s dreams, we become more than a vendor.  We take the time to foster a relationship of friendship.  In the midst of the splendor of the wedding day we arrive as friends at the conclusion of the evening we leave knowing that we were treated like family.
