Lauren Dorman Photography

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!!

dited 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.

appy with our photos!!! Worth every penny, 10/10 would recommend!!

ive in California and will be looking into working with her again because we loved her so much. We highly recommend Lauren!

ouldn’t recommend anybody else!

n. We love you Lauren!

raphs could not be better. :)

f 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!

ith 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!

ond 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.

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.

l that she wouldn't get shots of what I wanted. If you're looking for a photographer look no further!

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

he captured all the details of our special day perfectly. We will recommend her to our friends and family!

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 💕

eel so comfortable ! She is also patient ! She takes as many as she needs to until she feels she has the perfect shot !! We received so many compliments and still continue to ! Can't wait to take family pictures next !! Thanks you so much again Lauren !!

autiful. Lauren had an excellent turnaround for our engagements and wedding photos! Definitely would love to have her photograph more of our memories.

t 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!

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.
