Here are a couple comments about Olivier Lalin that you will find on weddinglight.com

"...You bring such a distinctive sensibility to your work and each of the different weddings we viewed seemed to reflect that vision--to be part of a beautiful, heightened Olivier Lalin world in which things are brighter, softer, mistier, shinier, richer, more expressive, and just generally lovelier than they normally are...as if God decided to tinker a little more with life on earth and improve the lighting and the hues!  We are excited to see our wedding through your eyes..."
- Melanie Thernstrom
" I Have know Olivier Lalin 20 years, back from when we both [tried] to earn a living in London UK. All those years, he relinquished material rewards and comforts to preserve his photographer's integrity and earn the privilege to practice the craft. Today, Olivier is a true and unique professional artist- photojournalist. His images are eclectic, human, sensitive, sensual and technically [and intentionally] near-perfect. His images are about people, life and truly reflect our contemporary history. Spontaneity prevails and will only be compromised by the split second complex calculations necessary to capture and immortalize the moment. His images can either be savored light heartedly, or better, deserve to be studied in detail, like all true artwork!for connoisseurs only!"
- Laurent Saint-Jean
