Lauren Anderson Photography

us figure out a way to make everything work in the time and space we had, and it could not have gone more smoothly or turned out more beautifully. She was even able to figure out how to get a post-nap toddler to partake in a photo and chilly children to pose without their cardigans! She is the total best!

k through our vision for the photos. Her patience when working with me was so appreciated. There are so many nerves going into the big day and Lauren goes out of her way to reassure you as the bride and talk through any details you have questions on. They are such a calming presence to have around and are wonderful and directing family and bridal party photos. Looking back on our photos makes me so happy. They truly captured the spirit of our day with such talent and grace. Thank you for giving us photos we will cherish forever!

ause our pics turned out better than I could have ever imagined! They were so fun to work with and our bridal party loved them! If you want a photographer who knows how to get the best pic and cares about you choose Lauren Anderson Photography!

m throughout the day and after. And every single photo turned out perfectly. I cannot say enough good things about these two!

and helpful with any advice I needed along the way. We didn't do an engagement session to practice our poses but she guided us through and made us feel comfortable even if it felt awkward. We had so much fun. AND THE PICTURES WERE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! The most important thing was that we trusted her from the start and through every step of the way and the results are perfection. I can't wait for an excuse to work with her again!

her or not to have Lauren as our wedding photographer. Lauren and Ryan told my us to pray about it first before giving them an answer. I knew she was going to be the one but my heart melted knowing we were going to work with a Godly couple to help lead Zach and I to marriage. Secondly, I love her patience. On our engagement photo shoot day, the weather was so deceiving and we all were texting all day to see if we needed to reschedule. My husband was in Chicago, I had hair/make up appointments and bottle line it had to happen that day. Lauren was so supportive of whatever decision we made and some of our favorite photos are in the rain! The wedding was so blissful and Lauren made it so easy and the pictures were perfect capturing all the important/precious moments which what I wanted exactly. Thanks again Lauren and Ryan I can't wait for out wedding album!

t photographers!

n. We felt so comfortable and they made us feel so natural in our not-so natural element. Then, when our wedding day came around it was the exact same feeling. They were able to capture each moment of our day, from getting ready until the party. We had a large wedding party (10 bridesmaids, 10 groomsmen) and they were quick so we could get on to the next part of the day. We are still so amazed with how our photos turned out;, I now recommend them to all my engaged friends, near or far! Lauren Anderson Photography is the best!!!

ictures it felt very natural which is exactly what we were looking for! I wanted photos that were "in the moment" that showed our natural and raw emotions and Lauren truly captured that. Lauren and Ryan were so fun and relaxing to work with and it just made our wedding day that much more special! I would HIGHLY recommend Lauren Anderson Photography to my family and friends!

ine, which made everything seamless. Not once did we feel rushed for pictures, they definitely know what they are doing so put your trust in their hands!!:) Lauren is so personable and I honestly felt like I had made a new friend! I cannot recommend her enough and hope to see her again!

so loved and comfortable!! They made taking pictures so fun and we really enjoyed spending our special day with them!! I am completely in LOVE with the pictures that were taken on our wedding day!! I highly recommend using Lauren Anderson Photography!!

good! Our wedding day was a whirlwind and they captured every moment for us beautifully. They take pride in the work they do and it's evident in the their photos. They were so accommodating and easy to work with. I highly recommend them!

seen, that I couldn't wait to post my review! Lauren and Ryan are both such friendly and kind people. We first met in person at our engagement photos, and they immediately made us feel at ease and comfortable in a situation that could easily have been awkward. Lauren was incredibly accommodating and always met any requests I had. On the day of the wedding, she captured the exact feeling I wanted. I can't stop looking at the pictures we've gotten back so far, because she did such a beautiful job. I would highly recommend Lauren to any couple getting married because she is absolutely amazing at what she does. I can't say enough good things!

oyed getting to know them. We can't wait to hopefully share more life events with them as the years go on. For anyone looking for a photographer who genuinely cares about you and all of your guests...this is it. I would recommend Lauren to every bride I meet.

r our engagement pictures and the wedding day. We could feel that they genuinely cared about us and our wedding. We weren't simply another job. We felt so lucky to have photographers who could understand what we were looking for in our pictures and deliver flawlessly. I look forward to being able to work with them for many years to come!

gement session with Ryan and Lauren and could not wait to have them be part of our wedding day. They are outgoing, patient, organized, and a fun loving couple! Everything felt so smooth and natural thanks to them! We never felt rushed or crunched for time on the busy day. They captured all of the little details that made our day extra special to us. We were truly sad when it was time to say goodbye. I cannot wait to work with them again in the future. I highly recommend Lauren Anderson Photography!!

even available to be hired, I knew that I made the right decision. Working with Lauren is like hanging out with your best friend on any other day. She makes you and everyone involved feel and look their best, while also keeping everyone relaxed and happy. I will forever be grateful that I had the chance to work with Lauren and Ryan and hope to work with them again in the future. I would definitely recommend Lauren Anderson Photography to anyone who asks!

husband and I could take in the day and have special moments as just bride and groom. We felt so special and honored having Lauren Anderson Photography! We cannot thank you enough! The Ryans <3

like our own goofy selves and they got some of the cutest shots that I treasure most. They also were able to put some our favorite engagement pictures in a album for our guests to sign at our wedding. We truly cherish all the sweet little notes that our guests wrote for us. I have only seen a few of our wedding pictures so far, but they captured those moments perfectly. I can't wait to see the rest! I couldn't imagine our wedding day with any other photographer. Our day was perfect and I'm so glad they were a part of it.

at taking photos (making you feel beautiful and special all day long) but they also take time to really get to know you and your fiancé. Lauren and Ryan work together to make sure you are comfortable and that they capture every photo from every angle. After all the planning is over and the big day as passed, you are only left with photos from one of the most important moments in your life. If I was you, I would book Lauren Anderson Photography to take those photos, trust them to take not only beautiful photos but photos that capture who you are as a person and as a couple. I promise that you will not be disappointed!

in front of the camera by making jokes and getting us both to laugh. It made the pictures look like genuine happiness.

eir timeliness and attention to detail. My husband and I absolutely love our wedding photos. They are just as beautiful as the people who took them!

ides personally and builds relationships with them. Lauren is very organized and didn't mind when I wanted to have our final meeting 2 months before the wedding because I don't like to procrastinate. At our final meeting she had every detail of the wedding day planned out. She made the wedding day flow so smoothly which was a huge stress relief. Ryan and Lauren were both super flexible and wanted to make sure we got the pictures that we wanted on that day. My groom wanted me to add that Lauren fixed his broken suspenders 3 or 4 times throughout the day! Last but not least, the pictures are AMAZING! We have loved every single one. Lauren and Ryan are so talented at what they do and we would book them again in a heartbeat.

feel crunched for time. They were very professional and tactful in handling our diverse family needs, creating a peaceful environment all around. They were attentive to our personal needs as well as they did not keep us in the hot sun for too long of a period at a time, and even offered a snack to the bride when she started to feel ill. All around, they are a genuine, loving couple. As though their personalities alone don't seal the deal, the images we are getting back are beautiful beyond words. The images are clear, bright, and perfectly focused. The poses feel professional yet natural and the candid shots perfectly capture the joy of the moment. We could not be happier with their work!

om loved our family pictures so much she wanted Lauren as our photographer for our engagement and wedding sessions. I didn't even think twice. Lauren made it very clear that she would only take pictures of what Tyler and I wanted, not what everyone else wanted-- which made our lives way easier. Lauren helped me set up my timeline for the wedding day...which I hadn't even thought about! I can't thank Lauren and Ryan enough for capturing our family pictures, our engagement session, and our wedding. I look forward to continue to use Lauren as our families grow. I feel so very thankful and blessed by Lauren and Ryan!

n are amazing! They are great to work with, amazingly talented, and exceptionally organized. The quality of their work is absolutely wonderful! My favorite part was how close I felt to them! It made taking what felt like thousands of pictures seem so.. fun! Some of our family and friends even asked if we knew our photographers before planning our wedding because we seemed so close to them! Not only have they given us beautiful photographic memories of our engagement and wedding, but a lasting friendship that we are excited to watch grow! If you are looking for the perfect photographer for you wedding, look no further. You can have two of the best out there - and they're adorable, too! :)

day. I am still shocked at some of the moments that they captured. Lauren also helped with logistics and organizing the whole day as well as the rehearsal. I never imagined I would feel so calm and comfortable before my wedding but Lauren and Ryan truly helped me cherish every moment. Not to mention, we received a sneak peek and a preview of our pictures in an extremely timely manner! I have gotten so many complements on how awesome our photographers were and can't wait until the next time I can schedule a session. I love the andersons so much and am thrilled to have had them photograph my big day and many other events to come!

g meeting, to the morning-of getting ready, to the end of the aisle, and to the fun at the reception- Lauren and Ryan were perfect! So many of my wedding party commented on how great and easy they were to work with; they came in and had fun but got the job done. They made us all laugh as we were shooting our bridal party photos, and everyone felt so comfortable around them. I love Lauren's natural and elegant photography style, which is exactly what we wanted for our wedding day- perfectly timeless! She and Ryan are the perfect mix of friendly and professional as they run their shoots, which is exactly what you need for one of the busiest days of your life! This photography duo is a joy to be around, so if you don't want to spend a lot of time searching out a wedding photographer, seriously stop reading this, send her an email, and pray she has your date free because you will not regret it!

but they became our friends, taking time to learn about us and our relationship as well as our bridal party and family when it came time for the big day. I cannot praise them enough. Our pictures were fantastic and Lauren was quick to make changes if there was something I wanted to change. My husband and I are not the best at taking pictures but Lauren and Ryan made it fun and made us feel like we were just hanging out with friends. The talent these two have is just the icing on the cake. I cannot recommend them enough, you will not regret choosing Photography by Elkay.

on't get to see in that glimpse is the passion behind their profession, the laughter that comes so easily when they're around, their attention to detail and help with planning, and the genuine care they have for each person they meet. Smiling is a lot easier with Ryan and Lauren behind the camera. As others have said in the reviews, Lauren sat down with us a month before and helped us work through the timeline of our day and then helped us stick to it when the day came. Looking at the pictures she gave us, you'd think they were everywhere at once, yet they were never in the way and worked so smoothly. It was so fun to talk with her before the wedding about the shots we wanted her to take and then see those photos a month later, way more beautiful than we could have imagined. They're professional, personable, and we still don't have words to express how pleased we are with the photos they took of such an important day in our lives. We can't wait to recommend them to our friends and family!

oth made things go effortlessly and perfectly! I would highly recommend them and plan to continue using photography by elkay hopefully in the future!

full of great ideas! They truly want to cater to your needs, while offering great guidance based on their experience. They are amazing to work with! And their pictures really speak for themselves! They do beautiful work, and I was so very happy with engagement and wedding pictures. Would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to have a great time capturing beautiful moments and memories with two of the most genuine and fun people I know!

ay. The pictures are fantastic, they both have a way of making it fun so you don't even realize you are smiling and posing for pictures. They welcome and accommodate any suggestions or requests you may have. Both are down to earth and so friendly, it was the perfect fit for us! (and a shout out to Ryan for being so willing to be Lauren's model for poses.) Our wedding day was special, and thanks to Lauren and Ryan we will have fabulous pictures to remember the day with! They are a very special couple who truly love what they do, and we are so glad we got to know them!

so I would to help and offer some advice... stop looking any further and give Photography by Elkay a call! Lauren took the time to meet with us, and made sure she knew everything specific that we wanted captured and offered up ideas and suggestions as well. She even helped us plan the timeline of our day, which was a HUGE help! When our big day came, Lauren and Ryan arrived early, and they kept us ahead of schedule the entire day. We woke up the next morning and were pleasantly surprised that they had already posted some sneak peak photos for us! Working with Lauren and Ryan to capture this amazing day was fantastic. They were organized, professional, but most importantly... we had fun! I don't think you will find better quality and better individuals for the price. Worth every penny and more! We will be recommending Photography by Elkay to all of our friends and family!

heir price point and the quality of their work far surpasses the price. Lauren and Ryan are so amazing to work with! Their professionalism and talent show in all they do. They managed to keep us not only on schedule, but AHEAD of schedule the entire day. We had a large wedding party/family and lots of people involved in the pictures, but Lauren and Ryan stayed so organized and got everyone where they needed to go smoothly. Not only did they make my wedding day wonderful, but I woke up to two sneak peek photos the next morning as well. We love Photography by Elkay so much we've already planned family pictures for later this year with them!

of your life!). Lauren (and Ryan) were fantastic in listening to and capturing our vision in a creative and beautiful way. Lauren was always readily available via email or via phone to answer any questions. She even happily agreed to meet with me before the wedding to go over poses, show her some pinterest wedding photos I liked, etc. Their encouraging feedback and wonderful compliments allowed us and our wedding party feel so comfortable in front of the camera! Their passion and energy for photography always transformed our sessions into a fun and exciting experience that we will never forget! We will always recommend Photography by Elkay to our friends and family members for any special occasion!

to capture the "ringing in of the New Year" and the results were perfect! We were/are so thankful for what they did. Every picture session from the engagement, pre-wedding, and wedding photos went so smoothly and Lauren and Ryan were able to move things along with no trouble. Every photo they captured was exactly what I asked for and even better than I could ever want! Every detail was captured and every specific moment I asked for them to cover was covered. They are able to edit the photos so you look gorgeous and still look natural and like yourself! Lauren is a blast to work with, makes every second fun, and knows what she's doing! You don't feel awkward shooting with her, and she tells you exactly what you should do so you don't just stand there looking awkward. She is SO FAST at editing the photos and getting them to you! I got my engagement photos in 2 weeks and my wedding photos in less than a month, all edited and sent to me! She is willing to customize packages and includes so much in her package that other photographers don't, and for a SERIOUSLY reasonable price! I was able to get my engagement session and wedding photos in one package, no extra charge for the engagement session. I would recommend Lauren to everyone for everything. By far such a joy to work with and such an AMAZING talent! Such beautiful photography from a beautiful person. I have absolutely no complaints!
