WE ARE LAUREN'S BIGGEST FANS !!!!!! If I could jump through your screen right now and tell you to book her, I would. What initially drew me to Lauren was her ability to capture the emotions of the day so perfectly and after working with her I completely understand why. We felt like we were hanging out with an old friend all day. Her calming and enthusiastic presence let my husband and I and all our guests relax and be in the moment, which she then captured perfectly. During our post-ceremony pictures, I floated the idea of going to McDonald's before the reception to grab food before it got chaotic and Lauren suggested taking some pictures there. I now have a picture of me in my wedding dress eating an M&M McFlurry and I couldn't be more grateful. Our guests, before even seeing photos, commented on how great our photographer was and how fun she was to work with. My sister said "can I go ahead and book her for my wedding? these are the best pictures I've ever seen and I'm not even halfway through!!!!". We decided to invest in Lauren instead of splitting a budget between a photographer and videographer and I have absolutely no regrets- she captured our day in a way that I don't even think a video can compete with. We love Lauren and are going to be recommending her to all of our friends and family for years and years to come !!
I had the absolute honor of having Archive Creative capture my wedding day and I am obsessed with my pictures. Lauren is AMAZING at what she does. It is so important to have a photographer that truly makes you and your spouse feel comfortable and beautiful and that is exactly what she did. Do not hesitate to book her!!!
Dream wedding photos! Lauren is a gem! Incredible personality and ultimate hype girl to make you feel like a rock star while taking your photos.
From our first phone call Lauren was incredibly easy to work with. Her pre-wedding survey helped us navigate the entire wedding photo process. Once we started planning we couldn’t have been more excited to work with her.
During the wedding she was on it! She stayed true to the survey and our requests while also suggesting certain photo ops based on her pre-wedding recon. We did not feel like the photos dragged on because she was very organized and to the point.
Once the dance party started, she never left the dance floor and captured all of the best celebratory moments throughout the night. We could not have asked for a better photographer and we are incredibly grateful for the moments she captured!
First, Lauren was the best part of my wedding planning process. I had always admired her work and when I was getting married I knew I needed her to be the one to take my wedding photos. She brought such calmness to my wedding day and throughout the whole process ensured that all the special moments were captured. Lauren sees the world in such a unique way and captures the moments as they are. This is a unique gift and not many photographers can do this. She provides poses, but really you become best friends with her through the process and you feel comfortable in your own skin, which creates those raw moments.
She captures the tears, laughter, playfulness, and emotions of the day in a way that allows you to re-experience them as they truly happened. I would tell everyone to have her photograph their wedding.
I was married during COVID and had to replan an entire wedding in a matter of weeks. Lauren was that calm presence that I knew no matter what she was going to be there and capture our day and vision regardless of where it was going to be happen or who was going to be there.
Our photos we received are unreal. She is so professional and her prints from her store are unmatched quality! If you invest in anything for your wedding, invest in Lauren, these are the photos you will get to share with your grandchildren and children. The flowers will go to waste and the food will be forgotten, but the photos you will never be able to replace.
I just can't say enough about Lauren, she is absolutely wonderful! Completely and utterly exceeded any and all of our expectations!
Our original wedding was postponed and Lauren stuck by us as we rescheduled from spring to winter - Traveling from Nashville, TN to Highlands, NC to join us, working with her was a breeze from the very beginning. She understood completely the look and feel we were trying to achieve for the wedding, and therefore, for the photos as well.
On the day of, she made us feel comfortable and confident; her photos are a true testament to her second-to-none creativity and patience - she had to work very hard to pose the two most uncoordinated people on the planet! : ) It was (of course) freezing and wet on our wedding day, but Lauren encouraged us to dance in the rain! I am endlessly thankful we did as the pictures are nothing short of stunning. Positively DREAMY! She tailored the entire photography timeline based on our wishes + maximizing the natural light.
She is fun, adorable, and has a beautiful, natural talent for capturing the most important of days. I highly recommend Lauren for any and all events you may need a photographer for! You will NOT regret the investment. THANK YOU, LAUREN!
Incredibly grateful to have had our wedding day photographed by Lauren! Not only is she a joy personally but her photography is incredible! We could not have been been more thankful for how our photos turned out and how they tell the story of our wedding day in such a beautiful way!
I was so lucky to have Lauren as my wedding photographer! Lauren goes above and beyond to capture the most perfect day in a way that makes you and your family comfortable behind the camera. I had my wedding in Germany and she was willing to fly all the way there and happily photographed every moment of our 13 hour day. Her techniques bring out the true personalities of everyone she photographs and we had a blast taking our pictures. Lauren is also super organized and is so experienced in wedding photography that she is able to allocate her time wisely to make sure that the most important moments are captured and no one feels stressed. She is also very efficient and was able to give me a sneak peak to my wedding pictures only a few days after the wedding! I have recommended Lauren to many of my friends and family and everyone has been so happy with her. I can only recommend Lauren as your wedding photographer.
Lauren was an absolute pleasure to work with! She is incredibly sweet, funny and very professional. I was so excited to have her as our photographer because I realized she knew my sister and some of her friends from college! What a connection :)
I appreciated how organized Lauren was with each part of the photography planning process and on our actual wedding day. She went to great lengths to understand exactly what we were hoping for in our pictures. Each of our families and our wedding party loved her and, even though I didn't get to meet her in person until our wedding day, it felt as though a friend I'd known much longer was getting to capture our special moments. I love going back through our wedding album and remembering the beautiful day Lauren helped to make so enjoyable. Thank you for your amazing work and creativity, Lauren Taylor :).
Lauren was an absolute joy to work with and we were so lucky to have her as our photographer! She was so kind and SO HELPFUL every step of the way. From helping us feel comfortable during shooting (she did our engagement session too, which I recommend if you have the chance!), to mapping out or big day, and even working on our wedding album, she helped through it all. She was efficient and kept us on schedule before the wedding, and just made everything easy for us. And the photos. WOW! She captured the day so beautifully, and I can’t just look at one picture without wanting to look at them all.
Lauren was a dream come true when it came to our wedding photography!! Not only were the pictures GORGEOUS, but she was so wonderful to be around. The day of your wedding can be super stressful and she not only didn’t add to the stress she knew how to keep us calm! She wasn’t super bossy and rude like a lot of photographer are and she got the perfect pictures in a timely manner!! No one wants to be taking pictures for hours while everyone else is having a good time!!! I couldn’t recommend a photographer more!! We love Lauren and her work was AMAZING!!
