Lauren was fantastic throughout the entire process! She was great at helping us schedule what photos to do when, and everything went so smoothly. My husband and I are both fairly awkward taking photos, but Lauren had us both laughing the whole time. It was very relaxed and the photos turned out amazing! She got the photos back to us so quickly. Highly recommend!!
Lauren was amazing! She has such a fun and chill personality that made the wedding day some much more relaxing! The photos she took were phenomenal! So easy and fun the work with!
Lauren was so wonderful. She kept in contact with me weeks before the wedding so that we both could be on the same page regarding my vision for the wedding. Her photos were so vibrant and beautiful. I was so impressed with her work & would gladly hire her again for any events I have in the future.
Any questions?
I loved working with Lauren! She was so patient and was able to help direct the day's activities to get all of the pictures in that we wanted! She was very efficient and was responsive to all of my questions before the big day! I LOVE her style. She definitely contributed to making our day so special and I still can't get enough of our pictures!
Lauren is the absolute BEST!! Not only are her photos always stunning, but she is so sweet and fun to be around! We adore her work!
Lauren is the best of the best! She is so caring, genuine, and the best photographer you could have! I have had so many compliments on my pictures and every single one of them are great. If you are looking for a photographer, you seriously will not be disappointed with Lauren!
Lauren and her team were beyond wonderful with shooting both our engagement and wedding photos. They made us feel so at ease during such a stressful time. Our images came back so quickly and were more beautiful than I could have imagined. We definitely intend to use Lauren again for any future family photos.
Lauren always made us both feel comfortable while taking pictures! Her photos have a classic feel to them and I will forever cherish our engagement and wedding pictures! Do yourself a favor and book her now!
Lauren was absolutely the perfect person to capture all the details of my wedding! She made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera and ended up getting the sweetest photos of us. She is professional, kind, and so in her element when photographing — you’re in such good hands with Lauren as your photographer! Our engagement and wedding photos turned out so beautifully, and we will cherish our photos forever. We cannot thank Lauren enough for capturing all the details we never want to forget!
Lauren was the absolute DREAM photographer I could’ve ever wanted for my special day! Her talent for capturing every moment PERFECTLY is obviously amazing. Not only that, her sweet bubbly personality and kindness really made my day feel even more special and easy- like I had a long-time friend helping me through the whole process! Lauren was even sweet enough to send “sneak-peaks” super fast, so my husband and I were able to post and share with family as we were on our way to the honeymoon!! If I were able to give 100 stars, I WOULD!!
Lauren was so easy to work with for our engagement shoot and wedding photos! We absolutely love our collections. Lauren did a great job with communicating with us and making us feel at ease during sessions. We had a large wedding party and she did great working with all the “personalities” lol. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She’s super fun to work with and her pictures are gorgeous!
Lauren is a breeze to work with! She made engagement & wedding pictures as easy and painless as possible that my husband did not complain even once, ha! Seriously, so enjoyable to work with & I absolutely love our pictures.
I wish I could give her a million stars!!! Lauren is so incredibly sweet and extremely professional. She knows exactly what to do and when to do it!! She gave us everything we wanted and more. I will recommend her to everyone I know!
Lauren was a huge help during the planning process, always answered my questions thoroughly, and made sure I was getting what I wanted come to the day of my wedding. She made the day of so seamless and easy. My husband and I are obsessed with all the pictures she got back to us. Lauren is professional, fun and easy to work with.
Lauren is *the* photographer to have at your wedding! Her wedding photo packages are reasonable and she does everything in her power to make sure you have a wonderful collection of photos to look back on for the rest of your life. Lauren is kind, easy to work with, pays close attention to detail, and is extremely talented. I could honestly go on and on about her. She is open to travel, checks the weather before engagement and wedding shoots and chooses the best location for pictures. She guides well when taking pictures. I literally have no idea what to do other than smile at the camera. Lauren takes it a step further and tells you how to angle you face/body, has cute suggestions on what you and your partner should to do and as a result, you have the perfect candid shots. I can't recommend Lauren enough! You will be glad you hired her to capture the special moments of your wedding day!
I can not say enough good things about Lauren. She was so incredibly sweet and patient with my big family!!
Lauren was absolutely amazing to work with and is amazing at what she does. She did our engagement and wedding pictures, and we could not be more happy with the results! She also was available anytime I had questions, and she was always prompt in her responses. I highly recommend her services!
Lauren and her team are just the best!! From the engagement session to wedding, everything was wonderful. Lauren was very punctual and always got back to me with any question or concern I had. Her associate, Sharon and her assistant, Lauren, were amazing, too!! Photos from both events were absolutely gorgeous and we got them back so fast. I cannot thank them enough!
Lauren and Brad (her lovely husband) photographed our wedding in November, and we could not have asked for a better experience. She had taken our engagements a few months and we absolutely loved them so we couldn’t wait to see what she did for the wedding. Lauren is so easy to get along with and definitely helped calm my nerves on a stressful day. She had my whole gallery to me very very quickly. We absolutely adore all of our photos and will cherish them for many years. Not to mention she was literally 9 months pregnant at the time and on her feet all day making sure she got the perfect shots for me and my husband. Lauren’s work is absolutely beautiful, and she is a fantastic person to get to hang out with on your wedding day! Highly recommend.
Lauren was absolutely AMAZING in all aspects of our wedding!!! She was so fun, nice, and energetic!! She made our day 10000 times better with her sweet soul!!! I was so nervous whenever I first started looking for a photographer, but after our first phone call I knew she was the perfect match!! Every photo was more beautiful than I ever could expected!!! She even got in on a prank on my husband that his best man and I planned!!! Too be honest she felt like a best friend I’ve known for years!!! Ben and I loved having Lauren shoot our favorite day, and will forever use her for any other photos we need!! If you are looking for not only an amazing photographer, but a fantastic person to work with, Lauren is your girl!!! Thank you Lauren for everything!!!

Kayla, I loved every minute with you guys! You were so fun and I really appreciate when not just the bride and groom are fun to be around but the entire wedding party is great too! Y’all made me feel like part of the family! Thanks so much for ...
choosing me to capture your big day!
Lauren was awesome! She took great engagement and wedding day pictures. So glad we chose her to capture our special day!!
Lauren is THE BEST EVER!! I got my preview which she sent the very next morning on the way to my honeymoon! Getting to see my pictures that quickly was awesome, and she had my portfolio ready in just 2 short weeks! She was everything I hoped for in a photographer and more! Her personality is amazing, and she is ready from the start to make your big day the best! I loved that she met with us before the wedding and got to discuss exactly what the plan would be when August arrived. This helped to alleviate a lot of pre-wedding anxiety. She showed up and started taking photos the minute she arrived. She knew exactly what shots to take and was super personable! She joked with the wedding party and made everybody feel super comfortable, even those who don't like being in front of the camera. She got to take some amazing shots of us on the bridge in our hometown, and WOW, those turned out amazing, just like all of our pictures! Despite being pregnant, she gave us more than we could have asked for, so I know nothing can hold her back from getting wonderful photos! She also helped me with the decision to do the first look. I am so glad I went with the first look because we got some wonderful photos. She captured the emotions of the moment, and I will cherish those pictures forever. If you are looking for a wedding photographer, I 100% recommend Lauren without a doubt! We will definitely be using her again in the future, no question!
Lauren and her second shooter were amazing! Lauren had this special way of approaching us for certain shots or asking us questions on our big day in a way that didn't feel stressful on us. I am very Type A, so for something not to feel like I need to act upon it is rare. They were also a blast to have around. They were really good at encouraging the fun we were all having, and our wedding party loved having them around. She was also so easy to get in touch with before the wedding, and answered all the questions I had before the wedding itself. I highly recommend hiring her for your big day, as you will not regret it!
Lauren and her husband (who is her second shooter) were amazing!!! She is so helpful through out the whole process I literally texted her in the middle of the night with my freak outs and she would reassure me that it was all going to be okay! I was beyond happy with my pictures and GIRLS LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT HER TURN AROUND! Literally Sunday I had 20 sneak peaks and then just TWO WEEKS later I had the entire gallery! I love love love this girl and will always refer her to everyone and anyone! Thank you soo much for making my wedding day perfect!
Lauren was an absolute dream to work with! She was with us every step of the way from the very beginning. We did engagements, bridals, and the wedding with her and she was so easy! She went above and beyond as far as helping us choose outfits, coaching us through our photos, and making sure we got exactly what we wanted!
Lauren and her husband are absolutely amazing and created the perfect pictures from our wedding. They were so much fun to be around. The pictures were beautiful and everything we wanted them to be.

Lauren Dorman
Lauren Dorman was absolutely AMAZING! I could not have imagined a more perfect photographer for our special day. She communicated with me often and helped keep me my head on straight when I was stressed! She offered great advice when I asked and was so honest when I asked her opinions, it was so refreshing. During our engagement pictures and wedding pictures she kept the timeline and schedule so well and ensured we got every photo we wanted! I never felt rushed by her, she made sure I was happy with the photos I was taking. I felt so relaxed and comfortable. She captured some of the best and sweetest moments of our lives. I would definitely recommend anyone to hire Lauren to capture your moments. You can have complete confidence she will capture them, and capture them beautifully! :)

Paige! Thank you so much for this sweet review. You and your new hubs were such a pleasure to work for and I absolutely had the best time with y’all both! I hope you guys have a long and happy marriage all the days of your lives!
All I can say is "wow!" Lauren captured our wonderful day perfectly. She made taking pictures so effortless and fun. She got all the little details and somehow managed to capture every ounce of joy in our day. She was punctual, flexible, and courteous. It was an amazing experience, and I would highly recommend her for any bride to be!

Thank you so much for your kind words. I was absolutely honored to spend the day with you and loved seeing your love story play out. You guys are a beautiful picture of patience and grace together and I am so happy for you! Congratulat...
ions again and I can’t wait to see how you guys grow together!
Lauren Dorman
We couldn't be more pleased with our decision to have Lauren photograph our wedding. She made us feel totally comfortable and gave us great instructions - we still felt totally natural and like "us," but didn't have to wonder, "What do I do with my hands!?" As a result, our photos are not only gorgeous, but really capture our wedding day exactly the way we want to remember it - happy and relaxed.

Temple,
I’m so glad I got to be a part of your day with you and Warren! You two are so cute together and your elopement was absolutely magical! Congratulations and best wishes for many years together!
Lauren Dorman
Lauren is an incredibly talented, reliable, and down to earth photographer and I would recommend her to anyone for anything! We hired her to do our engagement shoot and wedding photography, all of which we are SO happy with. Posing for photos is not within our comfort zone, and she had us laughing and enjoying the experience so much which took a lot of the stress out of getting "the right shot" in addition to capturing some really great candids. As a bride, planning the wedding is stressful and from the very beginning, Lauren would say "let me handle this," and "you don't need to worry about that, I've got it," when it came to wrangling family members together and planning out the important photos that anyone would ever want to help capture such an important and memorable day. That was a HUGE help in the sense that, once we hired her, we didn't have to actually put any more thought into the photography because she just handled it in all aspects. Hallelujah. Our friends and family all really enjoyed meeting and working with her as well, and everyone kept asking "where did you find her?" as though somehow we had stumbled upon a unicorn. She was fabulous, and I'm so impressed that she offers such a variety of packages to fit every need and every budget. We can't thank her enough for the great work, and look forward to working with her again.
Lauren was absolutely AMAZING to work with! She communicated very well before our engagements and wedding. The photos turned out fantastic! She was able to keep up with our rowdy friends and family! I highly recommend her as your photographer!
Hiring Lauren was, by far, the best decision we made throughout the wedding planning. To say she is amazing is beyond an understatement. It is so refreshing to meet someone who takes away the stressors that come with planning a wedding. Every time we messaged her for advice, she always responded right away.
The most wonderful gift she gave us on the wedding day was that we didn't have to stress. We had complete confidence that she would have things under control and be doing the most amazing job. I can't think of a single special moment she missed. So many of our guests commented on how lovely she was and since seeing the photographs I keep getting multiple compliments.
The photographs themselves are more perfect than we could have ever hoped for. Our wedding was such a special day and she has somehow managed to keep it for us, captured in those photos, for years to come. I must have looked through them a thousand times already and I'm sure I will a thousand more!
One of the most special moments was receiving a sneak peak of the photographs on our honeymoon and looking through them together. Nothing is too much trouble and she would always bend over backwards to make sure we were happy.
A word of advice to future couples... book her now!
One of the biggest takeaways I received while researching wedding planning was that the most important aspect was choosing a good photographer, and I’ll tell you what, Lauren Dorman is THE artist you want to have portray your special day. Not only is she extremely easy to work with, she was completely prepared, took charge, and she made the photography process during the wedding effortless and easy. She has a talent that really sets her apart from other photographers, and she has an amazing personality that put myself at ease, and brought out the natural beauty of everyone in attendance. Hire her immediately, you won’t be disappointed. I will treasure these photos for the rest of my life!!
The things I liked about Lauren I really, truly loved. She captured some wonderful shots from our wedding. She was great about communicating and responding to texts when I had questions and was quick to reassure me on some of my concerns. She edited all the photos very quickly and by the end of our honeymoon, we had the final files.
However, I was fairly disappointed with the collections (engagement and wedding) as a whole when I got the final images. Lauren has a great eye for capturing beautiful light and landscape. But her attention to detail is lacking. I did bridals with a different photographer who was quick to adjust a twisted necklace or weird head angle or awkward hands and Lauren doesn't do that. I had a hair tie on my wrist for half of our engagement shoot and she didn't notice. Our wedding photos came back and most of the portrait shots I received weren't flattering. My dress was bunched weird or hands were in weird spots. I had blemishes on my cheek and chin that could be retouched in post, and because of her (beautiful) editing style, they are accentuated in all the photos. Lauren has only a few poses that she does. And for a plus-size bride, I don't feel like they are very flattering for my body type at all. We aren't models, so relied so heavily on her to put us in the right positions and I just think the mark was missed.
We paid for a second shooter, and with the exception of maybe a handful of shots, I don't know what that money was used towards. We didn't receive many photos from him. (The ones we got were good, just too few.)
Lauren talked me out of getting more photos when we were signing the contract. She guaranteed 150 and we received just over 200, and it wasn't enough. Especially when there were so many that I won't use. We didn't feel like there were enough of the guests. And even though we had a shot list, it was up to us to make it happen--and with the blur of the day, it just didn't. We had an accidental "line" form when we were asked to return to the top of the aisle to take photos--we had to fight against the crowd who were headed to where our reception was being held--while we were hugging and greeting everyone who came, Lauren and her second were just waiting at the top of the aisle for us! I feel like so many good shots could've come from that, and they were just standing there and didn't take the opportunity. It makes me want to cry when I think about it. Once the line was over, we were so far behind schedule, that we opted to move into doing couple photos and I didn't realize then that it meant we weren't going to get our shots. We don't have any pictures of my husband's friends or family outside of the few we took prior to the ceremony. And we only have a few from my side because my friends were pulling me into photos.
Files are delivered via dropbox. Instead of doing a link, she shares the folder with you--so if you don't have extra space in Dropbox, you can't open the files.
Overall, did we get some lovely shots? Absolutely. Lauren is talented and her editing is unique, especially here in Utah, but there are a million things that I wish had gone differently. I think someone who knows how to be in front of the camera and knows exactly what they want will get wonderful photos from Lauren.
Response from the Vendor on 08/29/2019
Shelli, I am so so sorry you were displeased with the overall quality and shots provided in your collections. I honestly had no idea you were not 100% in love with them and I wish you’d felt comfortable enough to voice that to me so that I coul...
d remedy through more editing (blemishes can be easily retouched and I do try to take care of specific spots, but also I do not ever want to presume that a clients face should be retouched heavily unless specifically asked!) or to take this into account for the wedding. I was even ecstatic you chose to purchase additional images beyond the 25 from engagements and did not have any idea you weren’t satisfied with them. From our conversations via text, I was under the impression you loved the images and other than some minor retouching needed, extremely pleased with what was provided. As far as wedding collections go, I did not mean to talk you out of more images, I just didn’t want you to spend additional funds on purchasing more images if I would provide almost 100 extra images free of charge for you in the end. I used quite a bit of my second shooters images including detail shots, portraits, candids of guests, etc., but overall the majority of images come from my camera as I am the primary photographer. I do also apologize about the line as I thought we were going straight into formals and by the time I realized you were speaking with guests for longer, it was finished & we needed to move to the next event. It’s a tricky situation because sometimes brides want to be ushered straight to the next thing on the timeline, and some want to enjoy a more relaxed day. I apologize you are missing out on those memories in your collection and I will seek to make that right for future brides. I will also gladly look into sharing a link for the Dropbox folder for future brides as I’m unaware that’s an option or is inconvenient for clients, so I appreciate you providing me with that info. Again, I am so sorry you are not completely satisfied with my work as I know these are scenarios that cannot be recreated. Congratulations on your marriage and I truly wish you the very best!
Lauren is so easy and wonderful to work with! She’s great at keeping photo shoots fun and efficient, she responds quickly, and she has a great eye for getting a wide variety of photos. We hired her for our engagement and wedding day. We’re so happy with our photos!!! Worth every penny, 10/10 would recommend!!
We hired Lauren for our special day, And she made the trip all the way to Wyoming to do it! We absolutely loved her! She made the whole experience for me (the bride) easy and comfortable. Honestly she felt like friend I’ve known forever. We live in California and will be looking into working with her again because we loved her so much. We highly recommend Lauren!
Lauren was the BEST! She is so easygoing and made the whole experience enjoyable. All of my expectations were exceeded in every shoot we did! I will have nothing but amazing memories of my wedding and she helped with her beautiful pictures. I wouldn’t recommend anybody else!
seriously, I know everyone is obsessed with their photographer, but.... Lauren is the absolute BEST. she is so personable and shares advice that goes beyond photography. She is so easy to work with and creates the most beautiful photos!

Morgan, you guys were so awesome to work with and your wedding was THE BOMB!! So much fun as well as elegant and beautiful. Thanks for choosing me :)
We could not have chosen a better photographer for our wedding day! From our engagements, to my bridals, to the big day, she was absolutely amazing! She had such a great style and has the sweetest personality. She completely caputered our vision. We love you Lauren!
Lauren is so friendly and awesome to work with! She knew exactly what shots we were wanting and we love her style of photos. We couldn’t be happier with the way ours turned out!!
Lauren is an amazing photographer! I HIGHLY recommend using her for your wedding. Not only did she make my husband and I feel comfortable taking pictures, my family and friends adored her as well. We loved our experience with her and her photographs could not be better. :)
Response from the Vendor on 09/06/2018
You guys are too kind! I had an amazing time with you on your big day!! I wish you two all the best and a lifetime of happiness!
Lauren was incredible! She was flexible with her packages and helping us find exactly what we were looking for. She stayed in touch with us both before we had hired her and after to make sure all of our questions had been answered. On the day of our wedding, Lauren arrived early and began taking photos right away. She knew exactly what to look for and guided us through creating beautiful first look photos, ceremony and receptions photos, and portraits. She interacted with us and our guests, and everyone commented on her fun personality. To top it off, Lauren got all of our final edits to us within a week of the wedding. Again, everyone who saw the photos commented on how beautiful the photos were. Her expertise was essential in helping our day run smoothly, and I cannot recommend Lauren enough!
100% recommend Lauren! She is so fun to work with and she knew exactly what she was doing. I had no worries at all about our pictures. She bent over backwards for us and was so extremely reliable. My husband, who hates pictures, loves working with her and loves our pictures. She really captures my special day and made whole family look amazing! My family absolutely loves the pictures. I would definitely work with her again and recommend her to everyone!
Response from the Vendor on 07/16/2018
You guys were so much fun to work with! The venue was absolutely perfection and you guys were so beautiful together! Thanks for choosing me to capture this wonderful time in your life!
Lauren was great to work with. She was incredibly responsive leading up to the wedding and very quick in getting the finished photos back to us afterwards. The photos were beautiful. We love her photo-editing style. She planned to add a second shooter (on her own dime) for the wedding because she was pregnant, who was also fantastic. We appreciated how proactive she was in making these accommodations.
Response from the Vendor on 07/15/2018
I so enjoyed working with you two and being a part of your beautiful wedding! Thanks so much for the kind words and being great clients!
I knew exactly what kind of pictures I wanted at my wedding, and Lauren met every wish! She did a great job in getting beautiful shots of my husband and me, and of our guests. She used her time with us to it’s full potential. I’m not a big fan of having my picture taken, but Lauren got me out of my shell and made me genuinely laugh in our pictures! We will definitely be calling her back for future appointments.
Lauren was so much fun to work with! She had so many ideas for how we should pose and we loved the pictures so much that we got extras. We would love to work with her again for our wedding next year!
I CANNOT say enough good things!! Lauren Dorman is professional but also so much fun to work with! She definitely made my visions become a reality. After every shoot I very impatiently waited to see the finished product. I was not worried at all that she wouldn't get shots of what I wanted. If you're looking for a photographer look no further!

Mariah, your wedding and engagements were SO fun to shoot. I had the best time with you guys and all of your amazing family and friends at your wedding. I wish you guys all the best in this new season of life!
We did our engagement shoot with Lauren and it was a dream come true! Everyone deserves a photographer that is willing to scout out the best location and make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Lauren did just that. She drove up to a gorgeous mountain location the day of our shoot to make sure it would fit our desired style and that there wasn’t going to be weather issues. She was friendly and easy to talk to making it easy for us to relax and let her capture intimate moments without looking posed at all. Thanks again Lauren! We loved spending our time with you

Thank you so much for these kind words! I had an amazing time with you guys!
Lauren did an amazing job on my special day! She was on time, had amazingly creative ideas on shots to capture all the moments throughout the day. She was very patient with the little ones in the wedding as well :) She is very reasonably priced and I would for sure recommend her to anyone with an upcoming wedding or special event. Who knows...maybe in a couple of years she will be taking baby pics for me and my husband 💕
Lauren took pics of me and my cute husband and did a fantastic job! She was fun to work with and made us feel at ease! I loved my pics as well! 😍

Thank you so much Ashley! I can't wait to see you guys again for another session soon!
Lauren and her assistant were AMAZING!!! They made my wedding experience memorable. We, including my wedding party felt really comfortable shooting with them.

Definitely would love to have her photograph more of our memories.

Lauren captured every moment of our special day to perfection!! She was extremely professional yet relatable and compassionate, taking all of our wishes for our photos and elevating them beyond our expectations. From start to finish, I could not have asked for anyone better. Not only did Lauren get every shot we hoped for, but she also captured beautiful moments between the two of us that we will cherish into old age. If you're looking for quality and authenticity for your wedding, this is your girl! Thank you again, Lauren!!! I can't wait til our next session with you!

Thank you so much for the kind words! You guys were amazing to work with and I hope you are enjoying married life!
Lauren Dorman was an amazing wedding photographer. I feel like many people only wind up with a small handful of good pictures but Lauren is so talented that we got so many pictures that we just absolutely love! We have amazing candid shots and then also beautiful ones that were planned before hand. She is super flexible and really works with you to make sure you get what you want.
