The Purple Tree, photography by Lori Yohe

Lori from The Purple Tree Photography is nothing short of Awesome! I am a fellow photographer myself and found her through Facebook in a mutual photography group. I had sought her out to capture my suprise engagement to my girlfriend of 3 years. She was very responsive in my inquiries and answered all my questions. She put me at ease and had the confidence I was looking for in a photographer. We were able to collaborate the proposal without a hitch. Lori’s work is top notch. Her photographic style is clean, simple and elegant. If you are looking for your engagement/​wedding/​proposal photographer, please look no further. Lori is your gal!
Thank you so much Lori. We will forever be in your debt.

Lori captured every detail of our wedding day perfectly! She does an amazing job capturing those moments that can never be recreated. We knew Lori was our photographer as soon as we saw our friends wedding photos. Being a photographer myself, I wanted a photographer that had an eye for taking photos that were not staged and Lori does an amazing job at this.
Whether you are looking for someone to take wedding photos, or just capture that special moment, Lori is IT. Not only is she a great photographer, but she is very professional and open to your input and ideas. These are your photos anyway. On the day of our wedding she and her assistant were on point. They truly did an outstanding job dealing with all the various photo requests. We had so much anticipation waiting to see our photos and we were head over heals for them. They are absolutely amazing and every time someone thumbs through our wedding album it is nothing but compliments on the «real» look to all of the photos.
Lori is very passionate about her work and it shows in all aspects. We cannot thank our friends enough for recommending her for our special day, and we would recommend her to anyone looking for a professional photographer.

I met Lori at a friend’s destination wedding a year before my own wedding, so I saw first hand ahead of time how incredible she is to work with.
I was the MOH, so I saw very intimately how she treated the bride with sensitivity, humor, enthusiasm, and flexibility.
When I got engaged, it was a no-​brainer that we’d use Lori! The way she captures each moment of the engagement session and wedding day are absolutely breath-​taking, plus she has a knack for making everyone involved feel comfortable, and therefore everyone ends up looking stunning and like their true selves in all the pictures. She also chooses second shooters that completely get her style… we couldn’t tell who had taken which gorgeous pictures, we just received hundreds of perfect shots to choose from them both!
Since she shot our wedding in 2012, she has shot not 1, not 2 or 3 or 4, but 6 of my close friends’ weddings, all to 100% satisfaction. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Lori is a true gem. I was so happy that my now husband and I hired her to photograph our outdoor wedding. Lori has an amazing eye and was able to capture the all the most special details of our event. I also love that she doesn’t use a flash when photographing, which results in spectacular natural lighting. Her nighttime shots of twinkle lights, oak trees and the starry sky took my breath away.
A great service that Lori provides is an engagement shoot before the wedding. It was the perfect way for all of us to get to know each other and to become comfortable in front of the camera. It definitely helped us prepare for the hundreds of photos that were taken of us on our wedding day.
During our event, Lori provided excellent direction and was able to corral a lot of people into the family photos… not an easy feat. She also located the most beautiful little areas of the wedding venue so that our photos turned out beautiful and unique. I highly recommend her if you are planning a wedding and need a photographer who really knows her stuff. Thanks again Lori!

Couldn’t be happier with our wedding photographer! Lori was fantastic from the moment my wife (fiancé at the time) and I met her. We instantly felt at ease with her, and knew she was the right woman for the job.
For us, choosing our wedding photographer was one of the scariest decisions we had to make. My wife and I both wanted someone that could capture the biggest day of our lives properly. We were absolutely blown away by the quality of her work and the beautiful photographs that we will have for the rest of our lives. We have gotten nothing but compliments from EVERYONE we have shown our wedding photos to.
On the day of our wedding, she and her assistant made us feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera. She handled our large and obnoxious families with authority and professionalism which is not an easy task, but she somehow made it look easy. She made us laugh, made us feel sexy, and reminded us why we were there and to take everything in (that was huge). Her passion for what she does is tangible, and it shows up in her photos.
I would recommend her to anyone getting married, or for any other occasion worthy of professional photography.

I adore the way that Lori is able to capture a feeling. Her work is just beautiful and it leaves you always wanting to see more! I am particularly in love with the romance you can see in her wedding photos. Just stunning.
