Wedding photographer, storyteller, and hopeless romantic
The storyteller behind the lens
tell me your story
I was the yearbook kid. Always with a camera, always wanting to document the people around me. When my friends couldn't afford senior photos, I decided that if nobody else was going to make sure they had beautiful photographs of themselves, I would. That was the beginning. I've never really stopped from there.
These days I'm a mom, a traveler, and someone who feels things deeply, probably too deeply if you ask anyone who has watched me cry at a stranger's first dance. I'm a social chameleon who sometimes makes bad jokes, yet reads the room, and will do whatever it takes to get your walls down so the real you shows up in your photos. I care about your moments the way you care about them. Like they matter. Because they do.
i’m Lauren, and i’m down to travel wherever your love story brings me
this is my story
Weddings are a celebration of love, yes, but they’re also a celebration of all the little moments that brought you to this day - the inside jokes, late-night talks, shared adventures, and the decision to choose each other, day after day. My mission is to bottle those moments into images that make you feel everything all over again, even decades down the road.
This is your story. I’m just here to make sure it’s told in a way that's authentically true to you.
There’s something deeply humbling about being invited into one of the most important days of someone’s life.
From me, to you -
Go to drink is an iced americano with cream and vanilla or iced latte! (coffee date, anyone?!)
Total cat person over here! If in doubt, you can probably find me editing photos with my cuddle buddies - Milo & Nala
I'm a mom, which means I understand better than anyone how fast time moves and why it's worth holding onto every second of it.
I firmly believe there’s no such thing as too much cheese on pizza.
what makes you, well, you?
Here are the things that make me, well, me.
Your wedding photographs are the first family heirloom you create together. Twenty years from now, your kids might flip through your gallery. Your parents will frame their favorites. You'll pull them up on a random Tuesday and feel everything all over again. I shoot with that weight in mind, every single time.
For the memories that last
Your time with me should feel easy. I know weddings have a way of throwing curveballs, a late hair appointment, a wedding party member who can't find their boutonniere, golden hour that waits for no one. I've seen it all and I bring calm, organised energy to every single moment of it. From helping build your timeline before the day to wrangling everyone when things run behind, I'm thinking three steps ahead so you don't have to think at all. You just get to be present. Laughing, crying, soaking it in. I've got the rest.
For the effortless experience
When you work with me, you're not booking a vendor. You're gaining someone who is genuinely invested in you, your story, and your people. I'm a social chameleon by nature. I make bad jokes, I read the room, and I will do whatever it takes to get your walls down before I ever lift my camera. I take the time to get to know my couples before the wedding day because it changes everything about how you show up in your photos. When you're relaxed, when you're laughing, when you forget I'm even there, that's when the real magic happens. And those are always the best frames.
For the genuine connection
Here’s why my couples choose me:

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!
