Lauren Dobish Photography

d I am so grateful for that. Lauren is INCREDIBLE. We actually had FUN. The engagement session flew by. We laughed, we genuinely smiled, and Lauren knew exactly what we should do. She gave us cues and direction to ensure we got some beautiful shots. We have so many incredible photos, I am not sure how we will choose. She. Knowing how important it was for us to feature our dog, Lauren new exactly how to include him in our photos. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Lauren she made the whole experience enjoyable and we have some incredible photos that we will forever cherish.

hroughout the day to give us the option to keep or move our shoot. Luckily, it cleared up just minutes before the shoot. Within a day, we got sneak peeks of the photos taken and within 2 weeks, we got the full gallery. LDP's photos are amazingly beautiful - we plan on using these photos for our save the dates and wedding website

ble to send photos from past shoots at each location to help me decide). Lauren was enthusiastic about the proposal ideas and details I had, and worked with me to make sure we could pull it off. There were code words, pre-planned poses, our puppy to consider, and location changes, but Lauren has impeccable attention to detail and did not miss a single detail on her end. The photo shoot itself was such a fun experience, Lauren made my fiancé and I feel comfortable, she directed us well, and was amazing at getting a large variety of poses. The photos themselves? Gorgeous, amazing, scenic, warm, happy, fun...I could go on. The amount of variety of photos Lauren gave us was the best thing about the whole process. We are so pleased with the range of photos (fun and spontaneous ones, scenic ones, romantic ones, candid ones, portraits), and the variety of compositions and location backdrops she shot us in. Would highly recommend Lauren for capturing any moment to remember, whether that be a wedding, surprise engagement, doggie photoshoot, or even just a family portrait session. The photos that she will deliver and the moments she will capture for you to have forever, are simply priceless.

ne, text - you name it! By far the easiest choice we made when selecting any of our wedding vendors. We had THE BEST time doing a photoshoot just the two of us-Lauren made everything fun and captured great shots. Just looking through our photos makes me want to hire her again for another session!

one and immediately felt like I was chatting with my best friend on the phone. She is so easy to talk to and her work is so incredible. My husband and I met her for the first time at our engagement shoot, and it was love at first sight. My husband and I were nervous that taking corny pictures would be so awkward- especially with a stranger! But instantly it felt like she was our best friend and she gave us perfect instructions and made us feel so at ease that our engagement pictures came out incredible. And then COVID happened, and we had to totally change our wedding plans but Lauren was SO AMAZING about all the twists and turns we threw her way. She was so accommodating and so down for anything. We literally changed states and she was totally unfazed and so ready to capture our wedding day. I was so stressed out on our wedding day because so many of my plans had changed and I kept feeling like I was forgetting things - not to mention we were getting married as an impending hurricane was headed our way. When Lauren walked into our suite I literally forgot about everything. She has the most calming energy. It felt like my best friend from childhood walked in the room. Im telling you.- she is so friendly and personable. I think this is a HUGE OVERSIGHT on so many brides radar. You want a photographer that takes good pictures- but do you think about the fact that this person is going to be by your side ALL DAY on the day of your wedding? You want someone you are comfortable with and to whom you enjoy their company - not a stranger! Anyways, she was so good at directing us on our wedding day she was literally a wedding coordinator and a photographer all in one. We just got our pictures back from our wedding day and I am speechless. ALL of our pictures are absolutely STUNNING. I didn’t even realize she took half the pictures she did because she is so discrete - which is another HUGE thing to consider- you don’t want someone forcing these awkward poses on you! She literally captured such natural interactions in the most beautiful way. She brought her second shooter- her fiance Paul - and yup you guessed it I’m in love with him too. They are the sweetest couple and are so genuinely happy for you - it feels like they are just your friends at your wedding. I was so sad at the end of our wedding that I would have to say bye to her because I wouldn’t see her again any time soon- but I am so looking forward to the day when we are able to use her again for our family portraits. YOU NEED LAUREN.

agazine! I also love how she captured our dogs! I will be calling her to photograph our puppy this fall!

she was there! She was professional through our whole journey,(engagement photos, planning, and the day of) all while having a smile on her face the entire time. She was extremely timely in her turn around with responding to emails, showing up to sessions, and the final photos. We are beyond pleased with the final products; it will be hard to pick the ones we will frame! On a scale from 1-10, we'd give her an 11! You won't be disappointed in any way with hiring Lauren. She's truly the best! We are even hoping she's going to come back to photograph our children some day ;)  XO, Jessica and Roman

e our wedding day but she put everyone at ease and kept us relaxed and laughing during our family photos. That vibe continued as my husband and I walked around Boston with her to get photographs around the city. Even before we saw our photos, our family couldn't stop raving about how great Lauren was. And her photos did not disappoint! She perfectly captured the intimate ceremony that we had, and even caught several smiles from our non-smiling 3 year-old nephew. And the outside photos are unbelievable. She captured quintessential winter Boston scenes which is exactly what we wanted! Not to mention the speed - we got a sample the next day, which was amazing since we wanted to tell the world we eloped. And we got the full gallery in a week!

two months after our wedding, we decided it was the perfect opportunity to do a Boston shoot. From the moment I contacted Lauren, she was communicative, flexible, and accommodating. After we booked, she sent over a wealth of information to prepare us for our shoot. Her organization, thoughtfulness, and professionalism left no detail overlooked. Lauren’s love, passion, and care for her art infused excitement into the shoot. Her energy is contagious, and she’s nothing short of delightful to work with — even during a cold sunrise shoot! She has a unique ability to create a vision, and works tirelessly to see it through. Lauren shared some sneak peaks with us that very same day, and we were amazed by how beautifully the images captured not only our fun morning shoot, but the love we share for one another and our fur baby. We couldn’t recommend Lauren for all your photography (and phoDography) needs any more. We look forward to working with her for many years to come!

both have large, loud families with big personalities and every single person loved Lauren. Multiple people came up to us after the wedding talking about how much fun she was and how comfortable they felt with her. Her positive energy is contagious and exactly what you want on your big day! She also delivered all of our photos INCREDIBLY quickly which was so appreciated. Her photos are beautiful and so natural and her ability to have fun and bond with everyone in the room instantly alleviates any stress on your wedding day. Absolutely book Lauren you will not regret it!!

our engagement and wedding photos. She takes the time to get to know you and your partner beforehand, and makes sure she captures not only the best photos, but also the ones that you would like to have. Our photos were stunning and they truly displayed our story and our love for each other. Lauren's creativity, passion and innovative style allows her to capture every emotion you are feeling in one photo. Ever since our work together, I have been recommending Lauren to everyone I know that is planning to get married! I would never recommend anyone else :)

or each other and our dog so perfectly. We could not have asked for a better experience with Lauren. We look forward to working with her again. We highly recommend working with Lauren- she is the best!

et her until the day of the wedding but the phone calls we had leading up to the day of instilled complete confidence in me and my husband. She made us feel so at ease before everything even began and we had so much fun with her the day of, and our pictures came out looking BEAUTIFUL! Thank you so much Lauren for such a great experience and amazing pictures!

ot engaged. The day of the wedding, her and Paul were doing such an outstanding job that I even had people message me afterwards talking about how sweet and professional they both were. Lauren knew exactly what I wanted the day of and delivered not only the most insane pictures I’ve ever seen, but made my day so stress free and fun. I seriously cannot imagine getting married without her :)

people who are uncomfortable being in front of the camera, the perfect person to be photographing us on our big day. Not to mention each photo she took came out incredible.10/10 would hire her again in a second.

ture that we have!

e time/location of the photoshoot around what would work best for Rylee. The weather for the day of our shoot was also questionable, and she was so willing to find another date that worked for us if needed. The morning of the shoot, Lauren made us so comfortable (coming from somebody that does not like getting pictures taken!), gave us enough direction, was so patient, and she worked SO well with Rylee. Our photos came out amazing! They feel like captured moments, and we could not be happier with the end result. She was also able to capture some great shots of Rylee. Our pictures turned around so quickly- She truly makes you feel like a priority and is a kind, genuine person. Cannot recommend her enough, and will definitely be using her in the future!

ou have known each other your entire life. We were lucky enough to have Paul as our second shooter. Lauren and Paul make an incredible team! They made sure to get every picture we wanted even in 17-degree weather! Check out our picture because they are truly amazing. Friends and family have been RAVING about every single picture! Lauren went above and beyond for us. She stays in communication and always quick to respond. She made our big day go extremely smooth and always made us feel at ease. We received our pictures only a few short weeks after our wedding. I cannot say enough great things about Lauren Dobish Photography. I might get a puppy just to hang out again!

ication, thoughtful planning, and attention to detail made for an outstanding quality of product and helped greatly to reduce the stress of our big day. We were more than happy with our wedding photos from Lauren and can't say enough good things about how comfortable and easy she made the process.

o her expertise and good-natured approach! We actually became aware of Lauren Dobish Photography after one of our closest friends commissioned her for their engagement shoot this past summer. Regarding our proposal pictures, we are truly blown away! With the way Lauren photographed our proposal, it feels like she has the truly rare gift of storytelling! She really captured the buildup of various emotions as I got down on one knee and began proposing to my now fiancé, Daniella. She even blended in so well from across the street that Daniella didn’t notice her until she physically came closer to us to capture a slightly different angle. From tears of joy, to laughs of jubilation, to pure gratitude, Lauren captured it all seamlessly! This next detail speaks to Lauren’s character so well: even she herself was crying after I proposed. It proved to both of us how much she actually cares about her clients! Lauren is the kind of photographer who understands the great value of authentic connection with the people she works with. This enhances her photos and leads to even better images. Right after the proposal occurred, she asked us if we were ready to do a mini-portrait session. The way she switched up gears did not feel rushed, it felt so natural and exciting! Because we work in the wedding industry as videographers, we are used to being behind the camera, not in front of it. So we were a little nervous as she began directing us. But her direction was always so clear and concise. She made us laugh a lot too, which was good because it helped get the tears of joy to disappear and be replaced by ear-to-ear smiles! Another thing we LOVED about working with Lauren was the speed of her delivery. Plus, she OVER DELIVERED the number of final images, giving us DOUBLE what she estimated originally within FIVE DAYS!! We really enjoyed how she turned some black and white; this adds a timeless effect to the already timeless work she creates. We’ve already looked at our gallery a few times now, and it honestly feels as though the gallery gets better and better each time! Thank you, Lauren, for keeping us on cloud nine engagement bliss :) At one point, the forecast looked bad, so I asked if Lauren would be available the next day. She wasn't, but she said she’d “totally understand if I went with someone else because she couldn’t commit to the next day as well.” That is what sold me on her: Her kindness and authenticity! I could tell she wasn’t greedy and that she really wanted me to have a successful proposal. I really appreciated her attention to detail. As most guys will eventually find out, planning and executing a successful proposal can be daunting. Lauren put me at ease, though, and when we hopped on the phone the day before the proposal, she listened more than she spoke, and was so clear about the information she needed from me, without adding too much extra work or stress on my plate the day before the proposal. And I could hear in her voice she was genuinely excited and eager for the plan I had come up with! We cannot recommend Lauren Dobish Photography enough. She will exceed your expectations and you’ll walk away feeling like you have a new friend!! --Abraham & Daniella

so easy to work with-easy to contact by phone or email and very responsive. She helped us organize a plan for photos throughout our wedding day and captured so many wonderful memories from our special day! We had a second wedding celebration on the West Coast less than a month after our NH wedding and Lauren helped put together a wonderful slideshow of pictures from our NH to share with family and friends- everyone loved it! You should definitely book her for your wedding if you are looking for an amazing photographer who is super talented and super fun to work with!

lute BEST decision my husband and I made when planning our wedding. Lauren was actually the 1st call I made after setting our date and venue. I had seen her work in capturing my friend's NYE Boston wedding and 5 minutes in to our call Lauren felt like a long lost friend. She totally understood the vibes we were going for in our Cape Cod coastal wedding and the importance of the photos not seeming forced, staged or too formal. Lauren perfectly captured the love and pure joy of our "best.day.ever" as a couple and being surrounded by family and friends while also managing to create beautiful portraits, group photos, and unforgettable candids for us to cherish forever. We received SO MANY compliments from our parents and bridal party on the day of the wedding after working with Lauren on her fun personality, artistic process, and efficiency in managing our rowdy group with humor and ease to get those "perfect shots." I could go on and on forever about how fantastic and talented Lauren is as a photographer, but on a personal note I am glad that she was brought into our lives and I can't wait to stay connected with Lauren over the years as she will forever be a part of capturing our families memories to come.

e our dog on our wedding day, we reached out to Lauren to schedule a portrait session with our dog and she was extremely responsive and flexible! She was enthusiastic, friendly, eager to make the portrait session work with us (despite her jam packed schedule for wedding season) and completelty professional! My husband and I felt comfortable with Lauren immediately! She made the photo shoot feel like working with your best friend! She arrived early, stayed late and made sure we took every photo we could possibly want and more! She also had great suggestions for shots! She has a great eye and gave us just the right amount direction that the photos came out beautifully but still totally natural! Beyond being an amazing photographer (the photos came out incredible and we are thrilled!) she is an actual dog whisperer! Lauren and Danielle (For the Love of Paws Boston) were an amazing team! They got our crazy, high energy pup to sit still and photograph beautifully! (Our dog rescue group even asked to use her photos because they couldn’t get over how great they came out!) If you’re looking to include your pets or animals in your photos, looking for beautiful photos, looking to find a friend in your photographer or just want amazing, professional, quality photographs - you need to check out Lauren Dobish!

events with Lauren so she knew the plan for the ceremony and the reception. We also made a list of “posed” photos in advance so that we could ensure we got all of the family photos we wanted without forgetting anything in the craziness of the day! We had a larger wedding – about 250 people – so that comes with a lot of obstacles, but speaking with Lauren beforehand really made us feel better. 2) While Lauren was taking photos of myself and my bridesmaids getting ready for the ceremony, Lauren was great at just kind of blending in and capturing tons of candid photos which we LOVE. She didn’t step in and ask anyone to move a certain way or to move into better lighting, she simply observed and snapped photos on the go, which is exactly what we wanted. 3) While Lauren was taking staged family photos at our reception, she did a great job of keeping people in order and telling them what to do, but not in an overbearing way. She took control and gave direction when she needed to, but not in a way that felt overwhelming. She helped to move the process along quickly, which was our goal (so that we could go enjoy our cocktail hour! 😊 ) 4) Lauren’s overall demeanor throughout the entire process was perfect – she was excited for us, but also so calm and chill that she really added to the overall perfection of the day and didn’t add any unnecessary stress. We’ve only seen a few sneak peek photos so far, and all of them have been absolutely incredible. Lauren really knew how to make us feel at ease in front of the camera and made the process so much enjoyable than we ever thought it could be. Lauren is a true professional and takes pride in her work. I would highly recommend her.
