For heartfelt sentimentality

Let’s get real

Let’s be real—weddings can be overwhelming, and finding someone who truly gets you (and can capture those sparks of love, life & happiness) can feel like a challenge.

You don’t want just another vendor. You want someone who sees you, who listens to your story, and who will capture your wedding day in a way that feels true to who you are. You want to feel comfortable, confident, and like your authentic selves in every photo. You want images that tell the story of your love—the laughter, the tears, the quiet moments, and the wild ones. That's where I come in.

Here to capture every little moment of your joie de vivre.

this is my story

I’m the kind of person who finds magic in the little things. Growing up in Washington, I was surrounded by the rugged beauty of the Pacific Northwest, where every trail, mountain, and misty shoreline sparked a sense of wonder and adventure. It’s where I learned to see the world not just as it is, but as it feels—a perspective that shapes everything I do as a wedding photographer.

I’ve always valued that photos are a testimony to the life we’ve lived in our time on earth and I’ll never downplay how important that is. My love of photography grew from a love of connection—the kind of connection that pulls two people together, intertwining their lives and stories in ways that feel both ordinary and extraordinary.

Your memories are so important to me - it's at the core of why i do what i do.

Relationships are at the heart of everything I do. I don’t just want to be another vendor on your list—I want to build a connection with you so that when your wedding day arrives, it feels like I’m a trusted friend.


Connection and kindness:

Your wedding isn’t about following trends or checking boxes—it’s about celebrating who you are as a couple. I value the raw, unfiltered moments that tell your unique story and strive to capture them with honesty and heart.

Unfiltered authenticity:

I love love, in all forms. Over here at Lauren New Photography you can expect to be welcomed as you are, always. My only request is that you be as crazy, madly, deeply in love with your partner as you are your love story.


Inclusivity always:

The things we stand for here:

For what is life without love?

The thing about weddings is that they’re so wholly, authentically, full-bodily yours that you’ll want to remember every little detail. I get that to my bones. I focus on capturing every moment as it is, so that when you look at your photos, you’ll have every memory come flooding back…

The way the sunlight looked coming through the forest

The small glances passed between you and your lover

The sound of your favorite song as you break it down on the dancefloor

The view of the sun setting surrounded by your favorite people

The small, minute details of your day that you didn't notice before

And how loved, cherished, and supported you felt the entire day

let's capture yours

No feelings left behind

My husband and I hired Lauren to do our engagement photos, then had such a great experience with her we asked her to photograph our wedding as well! We are so grateful that we hired Lauren. Not only did she take amazing photos, had so many fun and creative ideas, was professional and organized, but she made our day SO MUCH FUN! Both my husband and I have agreed she will be the one we ask to take all of our professional photos in the future. She helped us to look and feel our best in all of our photos. She made sure to communicate with us throughout the entire wedding planning process and really took in to account our priorities for our wedding day. Our wedding day would not have been the same without her and we cannot thank her enough

"We loved every second we spent with her. She is such a genuine, kind, patient, hilarious, and friendly person."

We recently had our engagement session and then later, elopement done with Lauren, and she was AMAZING! My fiancé was feeling nervous and awkward at first but Lauren guided us with patience and gave us fun prompts to get us feeling ourselves and having fun together like normal. She let us take little peeks all throughout our session to show us how it was coming, and we cannot wait to see how everything turns out. We are so happy we chose Lauren to capture our day!

My husband and I always turn to Lauren to capture our big moments in life. She is flexible, professional, and passionate- and it is clearly displayed through her work. We hired her to shoot our wedding, and it truly felt like we had an extra friend along with us the entire day, laughing and celebrating along with our loved ones while taking the eye-catching photos she is known for. When my husband and I look back on our wedding photos, we are so happy that we chose to hire Lauren. She is hands-down the best photographer we have worked with over the years.

We LOVED working with Lauren! She really captured our energy and made the whole process feel so natural. She was very timely with getting us a sneak preview and our gallery back, the edits were beautiful and we loved our engagement pictures so much we booked her for our whole wedding! She’s very accommodating in making your vision happen and I’d recommend her to anyone! Truly talented and professional!
