We hired Lula for a photo session at Tata Beach in April 26. What a wonderful all round experience we had! She was super friendly and grabbed fantastic pics (both staged and natural). Very happy with the whole experience! Highly recommended. Thanks again Lula :)

Right from the very start, Lula's warmth, and sparkly personality was evident! Her communication style and approach to engagement was simply a joy to experience. We felt supported and cared for, and we had no worries about the idea of being camera shy, like we usually would. Because Lula made us feel so comfortable, from the very beginning to the very end. Her creative spirit is magical, and her huge heart was a blessing for us on our special day. We will remember her with fondness, we highly recommend Lula and Velvet Moon Photography!

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Lula from Velvet Moon Photography. Our wedding photos are just perfect. Lula is so warm, friendly and genuinely lovely, and her talent is next level. She captured every meaningful moment so naturally that we barely even noticed her on the day. Looking back through our photos feels like stepping straight back into the magic. We’re so incredibly grateful for her and couldn’t recommend her enough ❤️ Malo Aupito (thank you so much) ✨️🥰
