h for capturing us perfectly!!

Lauren immediately understood our style and aesthetic and worked tirelessly to bring it to life. She listened carefully to our ideas and incorporated them seamlessly into our wedding. They consistently checked in with us throughout the planning process, making sure every detail was just right and offering suggestions along the way. Their attention to detail and ability to capture emotion in every shot is truly unmatched. We couldn't have asked for a better team to document one of the most important days of our lives. Thank you!

x was second to none. The photos are quiet luxury, rich, filled with life, and each one tells a story. They exceeded our high expectations!

r any questions we had and was always extremely friendly and heard us out about what we wanted for our wedding. There was not a single negative thing about the whole experience. Once the photos arrived I cried with excitement as they were exactly what we wanted. Moody/creative/artistic/scenic/thoughtful etc etc etc.... the photography and editing were 10/10. I have never looked at a photo of myself and loved it before until we received these photos back. Lauren was also extremely receptive of my husband wanting a specific change on a couple of photos and did that with no hesitation. It really felt like she TRULY wanted to make us happy with our photos whereas some other photographers are NOT like that and are only in it for the money. I am sad that I wont get to get married again and re-hire LDP as our wedding photography team as the experience and wedding day/trip was nothing short of a dream. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts LDP.

ng photos and the result was incredibly beautiful and fun photos. We look forward to working with Lauren again for future events.

sband and I saw the photos, we melted! We had a date night and snuggled up on the couch, and loaded the photos onto our big screen. I cried the first time he saw our full album. You all captured my wedding beautifully and gave me more than I could have ever dreamed. Thank you.

convinced me and not only convinced me to hire a photographer, but to hire Lauren Dixon and team. They made my wife and I feel so comfortable and we don’t look overly posed or edited either! So many people couldn’t believe the smile they saw on my face in these pictures and I’m so happy we have these beautiful photos to show our children. The timing of receiving our photos to the clarity and editing is just perfect. We couldn’t have had a better experience! So fellas, listen to your wives-get that professional photographer but be smart like my wife and hire LD PHOTOGRAPHY! You won’t regret it…

e asked for and more! Before meeting us, they asked about what we would like, any specific types of photos, giving us full control. We do not normally take professional pictures and told them we trusted them completely and did not have any preferences-best choice we ever made. Our wedding pictures are AMAZING! My husband and I needed lots of posing and coaching and the photographers made us feel comfortable and definitely became part of the family that day! Not only did they capture us well, but the decor, the guests, and the genuine love can be felt through their creative work of our wedding. We are constantly complimented on the clarity, color, and style of our wedding photos. I will not stop recommending LD Photography enough! Do not hesitate and hire them to ensure your perfect day is perfectly documented too!

end to anyone looking.

s in as it was exactly what we were going after. It was a total bonus that she is also an extremely nice, kind and thoughtful individual too. My now husband and I found her while browsing Instagram and we instantly knew we needed to book her. She was one of our first vendors we booked (almost 2.5 years before our actual wedding), and from then on, working with her and her team was smooth and effortless. We had to postpone due to covid and she was extremely accommodating and made the entire process easy for us, especially in such a time of uncertainty. Onto the photos....they are absolutely stunning. They turned out better than we could have imagined and we are so so happy we chose Lauren to capture our special day. She followed up with us multiple times to ensure we were happy with the finished product, and we are SO in love with our gallery. We would highly recommend working with Lauren and her team!

ent of taking photos, my husband and I felt incredibly awkward and didn't know what to do with ourselves. (Not because of the team... we're just not used to taking photos) Somehow, that didn't show up in our final photos?! Earl Pelera and Kip Bowser was in charge of video. The video surprised me because more than half the time I didn't even notice them recording which was great. The photography team and videographers worked incredibly well together. At the end of the day, every time I look back at my gallery and videos, I catch myself with a smile on my face. They captured moments I didn't know happened and I am so grateful. I am beyond happy with who I chose for my photos and video. Thank you again! <3

tly surprised to love pretty much every single photo we received. The video made me cry (my mom too!), and every edit and filter was done so well. We are SO happy with our choice to go with Lauren Dixon and would 100% recommend her and her team!

ention to detail and editing style is what caught our eye. Lauren’s editing style is AMAZING! We received our engagement photos within a month, Yay! About that reschedule…it was a location, date and time change on our end. We went from a trash the dress post Hawaii wedding to engagement shoot in Salt Lake City and she was able to accommodate and get our photos back in a very timely manner considering the reschedule, which we appreciated 100% Lauren set us with one photographer in Salt Lake City. She was super sweet and made us feel very comfortable. She had multiple poses planned and was our very own hype team. She was definitely a trooper being that it was in the snow at the end of January at sunset. Lauren set us up with two photographers and two videographers for our wedding in Oahu, Hawaii. The team of four were very professional and fun to work with. They worked very well together and captured our special day. We would recommend them to anyone. Thank you Lauren and your associates, we look forward to working with you all again. Can’t wait for our final products!

we had during our session, we knew our wedding day would be perfect! It was everything we had hoped for and more! Her team felt like an extended version of our family. We will always refer them to everyone we know and we hope to keep in touch.

ried! I was shocked how smooth it all went! We definitely would recommend her to anyone having a wedding in Hawaii.

le was exactly what we envisioned for our wedding. We loved that you could also book a videographer through her company as well! I will note that you should book them way in advance if you can because we almost didn’t get the date even over a year out and I’m so happy we did! Her and her team were rockstars and we had such a great experience with great people! Thank you again!

's at! Absolutely unbelievable I still can't get over it. Thank you so much again!!!

that we wanted. Whenever we had any questions, they responded very quickly and were always very helpful. Because this was a destination wedding for us, we weren't familiar with local vendors and they graciously linked us with whatever we needed. Wish they had photography for other things because we would love to work with them again!!

day so special for us. For starters... I had never been to Hawaii but I described to Lauren my dream location and she had recommended Makapu'u Beach and all I can say is WOW. She literally brought my dream to life, my husband and I could not have picked a more perfect location if we tried it was everything we wanted and we have Lauren to thank for that. The entire process from the first time I reached out to Lauren up until the wedding day was so easy and stress free she was easy to work with and very professional. We hadn't done any engagement photos so I was a little nervous of how comfortable we'd be taking the photos and we seriously had SO much fun. Lauren was such a sweet, fun person who brought great energy and made us feel so comfortable the entire time. She is so talented, all the photos we have seen so far have brought tears to my eyes they are beautiful and make me want to go back and relive the day all over again. I would recommend Lauren to absolutely anyone, she is AMAZING!

was amazing. She makes you feel so comfortable around her and she made the whole experience so fun! The photos came out so beautiful and romantic. When I received my sneak peeks they were beyond what I was expecting. She had such unique shots and was exactly what I had wanted for my wedding, I would recommend her to everyone!

true us. Lauren is truly extraordinary and she made my wife happy which is all I really care about. She was the first and least stressful vendor we chose for our big day... and simply the best. Take some stress off those eyes and stop scrolling and book Lauren as your photographer. She's freaking awesome.

a long day of stress, it was wonderful having Lauren around putting me at ease, even when it started to POUR down rain. We had so many laughs and honestly my favorite memories were during our couples shoot with Lauren. Don't even question it. Lauren is the most humble and lovely boho wedding photographer EVER.

t her know we would need some coaching to get the right poses and she led us through the session effortlessly. Lauren fully understood my vision and she nailed it. She was able to edit and send over our photos quickly which made the experience even better. Let’s just say I sent them right to the printer to be framed! Thank you for capturing this special moment for us, Lauren!!

otographer search now and book Lauren! You won’t regret it!

y professional, and clearly knew her stuff. What sold me on her was how extremely bubbly, friendly, and passionate she was through email (that’s really hard to do lol). The day of she was a rockstar! She has such good energy!! She just makes it so easy for you to loosen up and as a result she captures the BEST candids. I had a ton of fun goofing off with her. She made me feel effortlessly beautiful. Our photos came out absolutely STUNNING! I can’t get over them and neither can our friends or family. Lauren is so artistic and INTUITIVE. Her pictures are so full of life she’s really a storyteller. Her pictures capture moments and memories not prom poses. She perfectly captured my husband and I’s relationship: playful and adventurous. Not only do I feel like we got the most incredible photos but I feel like I genuinely made a friend. Book her NOW! She’s worth every single penny!

tive vision of beautiful moments worth capturing. My husband and I aren’t too comfortable getting our picture taken because we always feel goofy and aren’t sure what to do but Lauren effortlessly got through our shy barrier and captured US. Her organic personality immediately showed like a ray of sunshine and totally relaxed my husband and me. She guided us through the entire shoot and the whole time it felt like we were just hanging out with a friend, who just so happened to be taking pictures of us. The way she captures a memorable moment is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced with other photographers. She went above and beyond for our photos and they’re something I will truly cherish forever.

the perfect one. If you know my wife, she never disappoints. As a guy, I dread taking pictures, but Lauren somehow made the process enjoyable! That’s is no small feat for me. Unlike other photoshoots we have been in, Lauren made it very relaxed and casual which is a big plus for us. I highly recommend Lauren and if you’re having any doubts, don’t fret. We received so many compliments from the photoshoot and we are so grateful to have this priceless memory captured forever. Lauren will not disappoint!

honeymoon shoot. I fell in love with Lauren's Instagram/style and knew she was the one! Her personality is so sweet and bubbly, we had an amazing time shooting with her and from someone who hates taking pictures, I was relaxed and having fun with her lead. We got so many unreal photos from Lauren that we cherish everyday. LAUREN YOU ROCK!!

orn session and so on. I found Lauren while I was researching destination photographers in Hawaii for our babymoon. Looking at her work I was so drawn to how effortlessly she captured each couple’s love for each other and how romantic it was. People say a picture is worth a thousand words and Lauren sure knows how to capture it! So without hesitation I booked Lauren and I thought how amazing it was that she worked with us and our location as I was I Maui and she was in Honolulu. Prior to us meeting, I shared with her what I wanted and what my vision was and Lauren definitely executed. I was 35 weeks pregnant and she made me feel so comfortable and pretty, which is a hard task at the stage in pregnancy. We got to know each other within such a short amount of time and she is so funny too! My husband and I kept on laughing and now I know why she’s able to capture a couple’s story. I highly recommend Lauren because she won’t let you down, whatever the occasion may be. She will make you feel at ease and you will feel so comfortable that your pictures will turn out amazing and not stiff at all. She won’t rush you and will make sure to capture the moment at every angle. Your wedding day is one of the most important days and every couple should have that day perfectly captured for a lifetime of memories. I only wished she was located in California because I would use her for all my life events!

rs but Lauren was especially magnetic to be around. She made us feel comfortable and added to the joy, excitement and laughter of the day. Lauren took the perfect mix of professional posed and lighthearted candids to capture the personalities of the bride and groom. Obsessed with the previews so far and can’t wait for my friend to get the full gallery so we can relive the day. Now we just need to get Lauren to visit us in Chicago!

dults wanted to be best friends with her. Best of all, the photos are INCREDIBLE. I have gotten so many compliments on our wedding photos, and I absolutely love the romantic style of them. Thank you for making our day so awesome and for capturing it beautifully, Lauren!

fabulous! She was very easy to communicate with and understood the look I wanted. I can't wait to frame & hangup all of our wedding photos! I am so thankful we found Lauren!!

on of pictures and are super awkward in front of the camera, but she was so patient and gave really great tips. On the day of our wedding, she was legitimately one of my favorite people and my family and bridal party couldn’t stop talking about how great she was and how easy she was to be around. It wasn’t like she was an outside vendor, coming in to do a job, she was like part of the squad - laughing and talking story with my friends & family. I cannot say enough good things about Lauren! I’m so glad we booked her & cant wait to see how our pictures came out!

n time and with so much energy and joy for the day that it was like one of my best friends came to shoot our wedding. Everything was perfectly organized with Lauren on our wedding day. She had the second shooter exactly where she needed to be, and she had all the details about how and what she was doing worked out. All I had to do was be in the day. As was the case with our engagement photo shoots, on our wedding day, Lauren shot and produced and edited absolutely stunning photos, well above the number she needed! She was prompt with photo delivery, excessive in the work she did for us, and enduringly joyful, professional, and artistic in her art. At the end of the night on our wedding, she found me, handed me a card, and gave me a huge hug. I sat down at the table and read the sweetest message from her and it is little gestures of grace like this that Lauren brings to the entirety of the experience with her. Everything is done with so much love, care, and thought that I cannot be grateful enough for her, especially as, no matter what my physical hang-ups about my looks were, Lauren, in every photo delivered, made me look and feel like a GODDESS birthed of Beyonce herself. If you want photos brimming with light, care, and art, as well as an experience that runs smoothly, goes FAR above your expectations (no matter how high they might be), and that makes you honestly feel like your best friend came into town to take photos of you, then Lauren is for you.

in energy. She rolled with all the punches (a bird pooped in her mouth at one point and she shook it off like a CHAMPION) and whenever our wedding party or myself felt unsure what to do, she had prompts, suggestions, and ideas for us. There was even a moment where Lauren saw how nervous I was and walked me through a breathing exercise that really calmed me down. All the photos she produces (which are always greater in number then she needs to do) are professionally and thoughtfully edited and curated. She even gave us a card at the end of our day. The photo albums she produced for us were clear, crisp, and professionally styled. Both my wife and I agree, whole-heartedly, besides choosing to marry each other, Lauren was our absolutely best choice at our wedding.

we were convinced to have Lauren capture both our engagement session and wedding. Since the first time we met her, she made us feel like we’ve known each other for the long time. We immediately clicked! Seriously Lauren is the best! I would recommend her to everyone!

auren after seeing some of her photos and this was one of the best decisions I've ever (yes, ever) made! We met Lauren in Malibu for the first time for our engagement photo shoot and it was oddly like picking up where you left off with an old friend. She was kind, funny, and super efficient. We were done in less than an hour and she produced some of the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen. My friends still rave about our photos and how it looks like something out of an editorial. Lauren was able to capture so much of my husband and my relationship in her pictures - it's such a rare talent, and I'm so lucky to have found her. I've sworn to myself that I'm going to get more pictures from Lauren if it's the last thing I do because I absolutely love anything she does!
