5 stars truly doesn’t even scratch the surface. If you’re considering Lauren Kearns Photography, just book her. There is no better choice.
Lauren not only delivers jaw-dropping, s...
tunning photos, but also provides an experience that goes far beyond what you’d expect from a wedding photographer. She is kind, professional, hilarious, and made us, along with our families and friends, feel completely comfortable throughout our entire wedding weekend.
You can genuinely tell how much she loves what she does, and it shows in every moment she captures. Being in front of her camera never felt intimidating. It honestly felt like we were just hanging out with a friend. She brought such a fun, energetic energy to both our Costa Rica wedding day and our Tallahassee, Florida engagement session, and truly felt like the perfect third wheel on our date, making everything feel natural, effortless, and so us.
And oh, the photos!! Every single image felt like a true reflection of who we are. When we received our wedding gallery back, my husband said, “Wow… that was really us. We had the best day ever, and Lauren captured it exactly how I remember it, but even better.” That alone says everything.
What a gift it is to be able to relive our wedding day so vividly through Lauren’s lens. These are the kinds of photos that bring you right back to the feeling, not just how it looked, but how it felt. We are so beyond grateful and truly cannot recommend her enough.
We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Lauren. It’s hard to believe it’s been over 10 months since she was a part of our special day - we will forever be grateful for he...
r work. She is simply the best of the best. Our entire gallery speaks to her incredible talent and her ability to capture not just the events of the day, but every single raw emotion felt by us and our loved ones. Her photos are absolutely stunning! Beyond her photography, Lauren is just an absolute dream to work with. She has such a down-to-earth, calming, and joyful presence from the moment you meet her, and she brings that energy right into your big day. Knowing she was behind the camera made my husband and me feel completely at ease and allowed us to be more present than we could have imagined. We feel so lucky to have had Lauren capture our wedding, and we will treasure our photos forever and ever!
Lauren is not only an incredibly talented photographer, but is graciously genuine! She pours her heart into your wedding day and goes above and beyond assisting you throughout the ...
day with helping with your dress, touch up of fly away hairs, helping stay on track with timing, the list goes on! I feel so grateful to have been able to work with her because not only did our day go smoothly thanks to her, but we have the most incredible photos from our special day that we will continue to cherish for our lifetime! Hands down the best!!
Working with Lauren was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She’s professional, patient, kind, flexible, and such a joy to be around. From day one, she made the enti...
re process effortless. On the wedding day, she made us feel completely comfortable and never rushed, capturing every moment with such care and intention. Our photos are beyond anything we could have imagined. Every image feels natural, full of emotion, and beautifully captures the energy of the day. The light, the angles, the candid moments…everything is just perfect. Her incredible eye for detail and ability to capture genuine emotion make her work truly special. Lauren was easily one of our favorite wedding vendors, and we’ll cherish these photos forever.
Lauren is the BEST of the best. I couldn't recommend her more. After sifting through various photographers, the second I came across Lauren's work, I knew she was the perfect fit. ...
I love how Lauren includes a engagement session before the wedding day. It was so great to be able to meet her and get a better idea of what poses my husband and I liked and didn't like before the actual wedding day. On the big day, Lauren was outstanding. She was basically everywhere the entire day to ensure she captured every moment from the perfect angles. Her attention to detail and the way she makes you feel so comfortable while taking photos is truly a gift. My expectations were far exceeded when we saw our wedding album and I could not be happier with the work she created. Thank you Lauren!!
We are so grateful Lauren was our photographer for our wedding day. It was truly a joy to have her part of our day. She has such a warm presence and is a true master at her craft. ...
Lauren was crucial in helping us plan the day from the very beginning, and her expertise and experience is priceless.
The way that Lauren captures moments in such a natural and beautiful way is incredible. Her photos are out of a dream. We could not be happier and would recommend Lauren to anyone looking for stunning photos and a seamless and supportive experience.
I had been following Lauren for several years before I got engaged. I gave her a call a few days after our engagement before any of the wedding planning started. She was incredible...
from the start! So helpful in sharing insights on venues, syncing with me on open dates and timelines for church vs venue wedding, and anything else she could share. This is just one example of how Lauren goes above and beyond and all before we officially signed our contract. Lauren was an integral part of our wedding from day one. She was extremely flexible in scheduling with us for our engagement shoot, made us feel so comfortable, and spent a lot of time with us never making us feel rushed. Lauren’s level of detail and organization shows up in everything she does from her incredible work to all the information she will share prior to your wedding day to make sure everything is seamless. Fast forward to our wedding day, we have too many good things to say to summarize into one review. It was raining on and off all day and we were so impressed with Lauren. Our family and friends loved her. She got every shot and more- including family shots with six kids under 5. She worked with us all day going inside and outside because of weather to get all the shots (and more), she made us feel calm and minimized any stress, and we couldn’t believe how amazing the pictures came out with and without rain! I can’t imagine going through this process with anyone else, if I could do it all over, Lauren would be the first vendor I prioritized investing in. Anyone who is lucky enough to work with her, is truly lucky!
Lauren Kearns is the best of the best at what she does on all fronts. She made everything easy, stress-free, and enjoyable, from our engagement photo shoot in NYC to planning our w...
edding day timeline, to photographing us on our wedding day in NJ. My whole family was impressed with her professionalism and efficiency and was struck by her kindness and the quality of her photos. They were breathtaking. Lauren goes above and beyond to ensure the important details are beautifully captured. She is also extremely flexible schedule-wie. We were based in Michigan planning an engagement shoot in NYC and a wedding in New Jersey, and she worked with our travel plans and limitations with ease. On the day of our wedding, she communicated seamlessly with the other vendors, such as the florist and videographers, to ensure she had what she needed for certain shots. Other vendors raved about her and said they always love working with her—she has a great reputation for being easy to work with. She worked with us to make a detailed timeline of the day, and she ensured everything ran smoothly and according to schedule; this was impressive, because we have a big family, and she made sure we photographed everyone on schedule. If you have little kids (i.e., ring bearers and flow girls) who will be in your family portraits, Lauren is fantastic at making them feel comfortable and coaxing smiles out of even the shyest kiddos. Our photos turned out FANTASTIC. Thank you, Lauren! The beautiful person you are behind the camera even shines through the photos you take.
Lauren was by far one of the best parts of our wedding day! She was absolutely amazing and made our day so wonderful.
Lauren had such a calm and fun demeanor. Even when we were of...
f schedule, she seamlessly adjusted everything without us even noticing.
The photos are absolutely stunning—I can’t stop looking at them! They take us right back to our wedding day. Thank you, Lauren, for making our day so amazing. You were such an important part!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Lauren! She is an incredibly talented photographer and was a joy to work with. She is a veteran of the wedding industry and knows how to...
capture the most beautiful and memorable moments of your day. She gets to know your family and all those important to you and captures every moment so authentically. She was organized, efficient, patient and nimble/flexible, which is very important because I guarantee your timeline will have to adjust on the day. Just too many cats to herd, ha. She has great vibes and made all the photo sessions feel effortless. She guides you through it all, it’s impossible to “mess up” a photo/moment. She’s a true professional who loves what she does. It is absolutely worth every penny to hire a great photographer – especially Lauren!
Lauren was phenomenal! She captured every special moment with such artistry and made us feel completely at ease. The photos are beyond stunning—everything we dreamed of and more. H...
ighly, highly recommend her to anyone wanting their big day captured flawlessly!
5 stars is not enough to express how fantastic Lauren is! From the moment we first spoke with her ~2 years before our wedding through our big day, she was unbelievable to work with...
. Aside from the incredible quality of her photos (which is no small thing!!), a few specific things that she did that are worth highlighting:
- During our engagement shoot, Lauren assured us that it wasn't that we "aren't photogenic," but that we just hadn't ever received direction on how to pose. In the time we spent with her, she made us genuinely laugh throughout and helped us feel at ease even though neither of us had ever done a professional photo shoot. Needless to say when we got our photos back we were overwhelmed at how incredible they were - and how comfortable we looked!
- She proactively came to us with a proposed wedding timeline that was incredibly detailed (but adjusted to our specific situation/events). It was so good we ended up using it as the "core" timeline document for all of our vendors, family and bridal party to reference. Other vendors commented on how detailed and organized we were, but it was all Lauren.
- Our family expressed to us after our wedding at how sweet Lauren (and the rest of her team) were. She was so fun and bubbly throughout the whole day! If she was ever stressed or concerned about something that was happening, she never let it show to any of us!
- Several of our friends told us that they waited months to see any photos from their wedding. We had 15 photos to look at the DAY AFTER our wedding, and another 100 just two weeks after. It was so nice having some beautiful images to share with our friends and family when it was still fresh on everyone's minds vs. having to wait 2-3 months to see anything!
There is probably more I could say about Lauren but hopefully you get the gist: Lauren will be THE best hire you make for your wedding!!
Lauren was truly the best investment we made in our special day. From our very first conversation, she made me feel at ease and relaxed about the whole wedding planning process. Sh...
e made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, genuinely just enjoying each other’s company and laughing, which came across beautifully in our photos. She captured our day so wonderfully, from details to a long list of family members and all the gorgeous pictures in between. Her style truly reflects the timeless, classic and elegant bride. She’s an amazing person to have with you throughout the wedding process and beyond. We cannot recommend Lauren enough!
We had the pleasure of working with Lauren for both my sister's wedding and my own, and I can confidently say she is absolutely amazing. From the moment we saw her work at my siste...
r's wedding, we knew we wanted her to capture our special day.
Lauren is not just incredibly talented behind the lens, but also a joy to work with. She has a remarkable ability to make everyone feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, resulting in stunningly authentic photos that truly capture the essence of the moment.
Throughout the entire process, from initial consultations to the big day itself, Lauren was professional, attentive, and passionate about her craft. She went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was perfect and that our vision was brought to life.
The memories she has captured for us are priceless, and we are forever grateful for her talent and dedication. I cannot recommend Lauren highly enough to anyone in need of a wedding photographer. She is simply the best!
Lauren and team were INCREDIBLE! Words can’t describe how grateful we were to have them on our wedding day. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer or experience. She was ...
responsive, professional, funny, artistic, and so easy to work with. From the engagement shoot to the wedding day, Lauren makes any environment comfortable and enjoyable. She is also so supportive, positive, and detailed throughout the process. Everyone still raves about how gorgeous our photos came out and that’s because we had Lauren. Thank you Lauren and team we love you guys!! Can’t wait to capture more milestones with you in the future!!!
From the engagement session to our actual wedding Lauren went above and beyond. There was an emergency flash flood warning in NYC on the day of my wedding and Lauren came with smil...
es and an amazing attitude. She made us feel so comfortable and happy. She was amazing to work with and even took photos of our dog and baby on the wedding day as well. Her whole team was professional. We loved the way all the photos came out- timeless and really captured the essence of the wedding. Cannot say enough great things about Lauren!
I wish I could give Lauren an infinite number of STARS! She is without a doubt the best wedding photographer out there. Seriously look no further. My husband and I do not enjoy tak...
ing photos and weren't looking forward to that part of our wedding day... However, from the first moment I spoke to Lauren on the phone I was quickly put at ease. She listens to everything you're looking for and truly wants to ensure your wedding day is absolutely perfect and that every moment is captured perfectly!!! Not only is her ability to capture every moment just perfect, her style, organization and creativity skills are unmatched. Our wedding day was an absolute mess in terms of weather. Windy and rainy...however the pictures turned out incredible!!!!!!!!
Lauren was the BEST vendor decision we made for our wedding. We knew we were in the best of hands, and trusted her wholeheartedly to capture the most important day! She is a person...
able professional, who strives to get to know her couples and really understands the value of her role in the day.
Hiring Lauren as our wedding photographer was one of the best and easiest decisions we made during the wedding planning process. Her pictures speak for themselves, but what you can...
't see on Instagram is how wonderful the person behind the camera truly is. Lauren is personable and funny, and makes everyone feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. Right from the beginning, Lauren helped us draft our day-of timelines based on sunset for our wedding date. She even mailed us a 'Welcome Wedding Guide' with wedding tips and a list of recommended vendors which we found to be so helpful. Lauren went above-and-beyond every step of the way and curated the perfect and most organized experience. She was always quick to respond to e-mails and texts, quick to deliver sneak peaks and albums, was always very flexible and accommodating, and never made us feel rushed. On our wedding day, she prepared a detailed plan to capture all highlight moments and family formals, and made sure that we stayed on schedule. She's not a wedding planner or day-of coordinator, but at times it really felt like we had that level of support. Lauren is a classic, timeless wedding photographer, and we love how her pictures tell a story and capture raw, genuine, and authentic emotion. She truly listened and took time getting to know us which we really appreciated, and I know that we will be in-touch with Lauren when we need a photographer for other important milestones.
We’ve been telling our friends that a good wedding photographer can take great photos, but an amazing one can do that plus understand the bride and groom’s emotions at any given se...
cond, direct the groups effortlessly so the wedding stays on schedule, and more. Lauren Kearns is an AMAZING wedding photographer. From the moment we met Lauren for our engagement photos last July, she made us feel so comfortable, really leaned into our photogenic strengths, and created engagement photos that were beyond what we could have ever dreamed of. We instantly had no doubts that she would be just as wonderful to work with on our wedding day, and we were right. From the very beginning of our wedding day prep, through first looks, group photos and party photos, Lauren and her team were right by our side getting the most amazing shots and keeping our group on schedule throughout the process. We never felt that her team was in the way of the wedding, yet they managed to capture every moment perfectly. We cannot thank Lauren and her team enough for our incredible first batch of wedding photos and we are so excited to see the full gallery in the coming weeks!
Words cannot express the gratitude I have for Lauren Kearns. Lauren was one of the first vendors I booked after seeing her work her magic at my friends wedding. Not only is she ex...
tremely kind (and hilarious!), she also makes everyone around her feel comfortable and confident. Prior to both my engagement shoot and wedding, the weather predicted terrible storms and rain. Lauren made me feel so much better, and my pictures turned out AMAZING! I am SO happy we chose Lauren as our photographer, and highly recommend her!
I can not say enough about Lauren and her staff. From the beginning of our day through to the last dance, she and the team were able to capture the magic that we felt throughout t...
he event. Lauren is a true artist and each picture tells a story not just of the event but she is able to capture the essence of the couple. We knew her work was special after seeing the engagement pictures but she really outdid herself with the wedding. I will say that the photographers I have witnessed at other weddings were intrusive and took over the event with constant direction and posing. Lauren and her assistants became part of the wedding, like good friends who suggested poses and worked with the natural flow of the day. Lauren is adorable and quietly confident and she knows her clients and how to portray them in the their best light. Given the backdrop of Fiddler's Elbow and the wonderful designs created for us by our florist she had many opportunities to create once in a lifetime portraits. We were given a sampling of photos that captured the day within the week following the wedding, and they are all beautiful and full of movement and emotion. While we were getting ready, Lauren's assistant even helped me when I was having trouble with the strap on my shoe. This is just one example of how they were there to support us when we needed help. When it came to family portraits, Lauren was fast and precise with the poses she wanted and we were able to get to our cocktail hour and guests in a timely fashion. My favorite photos so far are those taken while we were getting ready, and the actual ceremony. Lauren even took photos of things that were special to my daughter, like her jewelry which are family heirlooms, and even the butterfly from her grandfather who inspired her to become a physician. The team captured eveything about how I envisioned my daughter's wedding would be. I am looking forward to the finished product and can't wait to get my parent album (that I hope is forthcoming!) because the photos are so beautiful I could look at them over and over. One piece of advice I would give prospective brides and families to minimize the stress of planning a big event is if the venue you are working with has a list of vendors they work with to seriously consider choosing them. We were lucky. In our case, our event planner at Fiddler's Elbow, the florist, Peonies to Paint Chips, the DJ from Eclipse Events and Lauren had all worked together before and this made the day move along seamlessly. Again, thanks to Lauren and her team we can relive a beautiful and special day in detail that otherwise would have been a blur because it went by so quickly!
Lauren is simply the BEST and we can never thank her enough for capturing our engagement and wedding day so perfectly. She is so talented and her photos come out beautifully, on to...
p of that she is super organized and reliable, and just so easy to be around and get along with! Lauren did our engagement shoot in GA where my parents live; she had never been to the location before but after just a few minutes of scoping it out, she knew exactly which backdrops would make for the best photos. When it comes to actually taking the photos, she really makes you feel confident and natural in what otherwise could feel awkward never having done it before! We felt so at ease on our wedding day too knowing we could trust her to get all of the shots we wanted (along with ones we didn't even know we wanted!) all while keeping to the schedule. She is able to take charge and be directive while maintaining such a sweet and calming presence. Our families and wedding party made so many comments to us about how amazing she was on our wedding day. We received several photos the morning after our wedding, a large preview gallery a week later, and then we had ALL of our photos within a few more weeks! Lauren is incredible and we could not imagine our wedding day without her!! Easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and we could not recommend her more highly!!! Thank you, Lauren! :)
Lauren is above and beyond the best in the business! Her work is elite. I work in the wedding industry and I have encountered many many photographers who are good, but Lauren is ex...
ceptional. When I got engaged I booked her as soon as she told me she was available! She sets you up for success from the moment you book your date. Her process ensures that she gets to know you as a couple so that you are comfortable with her and in front of her lens. She is meticulous with details which is one of the things that makes her images so special. She notes what people/things/pets are important and makes sure to lovingly capture them in her images. I especially appreciated her timeline which maps out your whole wedding day to make sure you get every photo you need AND stay on time to actually enjoy your entire wedding. She also turned around the images so quickly (during PEAK wedding season)! We were looking at the first set of "preview" photos while on our honeymoon a week later and the full gallery was available in less than 2 months! Wedding photos are the physical memories and absolute treasures of that day - Lauren not only captures the moments, she also captures the love and the emotion of the day. She is a dream to work with - easy going, upbeat, efficient, creative, genuine, and the hardest-working vendor of them all! Book her asap!!
Lauren and her team are truly the most talented, professional, wonderful, warm, and amazing photographers! They came highly recommended, and we would highly recommend them to anyon...
e! They exceed our expectations and made our wedding day so special! They were so great to work with, and we love how our photos came out!!! If you are looking for an amazing team that is kind, easy to work with, professional, and will deliver unbelievable photos, then you have to hire them!!!
Lauren is the absolute best photographer in the business. She came highly recommend by our venue and she definitely did not disappoint. From our first phone conversation I knew I w...
as in good hands. She is so sweet, professional and was a huge part of helping plan my entire wedding day. We felt very confident in our decision meeting her in person for the first time during our engagement shoot. She made us feel so comfortable and we had so much fun spending the day with her. The day of the wedding, Lauren and Barb made everyone feel at ease. They both were so organized and 10 steps ahead so we could all just relax and enjoy the day. Our family and bridal party loved them both and the portraits flowed so seamlessly. I was blown away when I received my photos. She is truly an artist. Every photo was more stunning the the next, it is hard to choose our favorties. She has an incredible way of capturing all of the special moments with such attention to detail. Not to mention, the quality of her photos are seriously unparalleled. All of the photos were so crisp, clear and natural. We have received so many compliments on how beautiful our entire album is. We will cherish these photos forever and cannot thank Lauren and Barn enough for being a part of our special day!! I am so excited to see her again next year because my sister also booked her for her weeding! Would HIGHLY recommend Lauren to anyone!!

The best of the best! Lauren and her second photographer Barb Wentzel did an amazing job photographing my son and daughter in laws engagement pictures, rehearsal dinner and the we...
dding day!! From the very beginning, Lauren was a joy to work with. Not only is Lauren a fantastic photographer who knows how to capture the perfect shot with ease, she is also a friendly, bubbly, kind soul who is a joy to be around. She fit right in with our family and had a special way to make us smile and laugh. I have never been comfortable being in front of a lens and I shared that with Lauren at the very beginning. Lauren remembered that, and continued to put me at ease throughout all of the events. She made it fun and casual, which I very much appreciated. Through the entire process and photo shoots, Lauren felt more like a dear friend than a photographer. The Photos are incredible! We are still in aw at how she was able to capture the joy, love and happiness everyone felt in each and every picture. If you are looking for a photographer- look no further than Lauren Kearns. she will exceed your expectations!
Spectacular!
Lauren and her second photographer Barb Wentzel did an absolute spectacular job capturing the joy of our daughter and son in law's wedding day.
We had the pleasure o...
f having Lauren photograph Kelly and Michael for their engagement. It was wonderful to get to know her before the big day and the engagement photographs were stunning and helped set the tone for the wedding when Kelly and Michael chose one for their Save the Date.
Lauren kept in touch with us throughout the 16 months of planning and carefully laid out a detailed timeline and had us create shot lists so we were sure to get every photograph we wanted.
We also hired Lauren to photograph the rehearsal dinner, which was a large family affair. Lauren fit in so well that my sister in law asked if Lauren was a close friend- a true testament to her wonderful personality!
The day of the wedding Lauren and Barb arrived early to take detail shots and getting ready pictures. All of which were seamless and made us all feel so comfortable.
The pictures of the church ceremony were spectacular and the portraits at the Mansion at Natirar were breathtaking!
Lauren had many pictures to us very quickly which was so wonderful to be able to relive the day through the beautiful photographs.
Thank you Lauren and Barb for capturing all of the special moments and true happiness of this special day. We are truly grateful!
BEST wedding photographer!!! Lauren photographed our wedding in August 2022 (as well as our rehearsal dinner). From the moment we met Lauren she made us feel so comfortable and at ...
ease. Throughout the whole wedding weekend she kept the photo taking process fun! The morning after the wedding by the time we woke up we had 8 sneak peak wedding photos in my inbox and by the following Sunday had 150+ other sneak peaks. The photos were each more BEAUTIFUL than the next and couldn't be more happy with how they came out. Our wedding was so special to us and full of joy and we will now be able to remember those moments forever thanks to Lauren!
The best wedding photographer out there. Lauren photographed my sister’s wedding in 2019. When looking at wedding venues, we narrowed it down to where we were getting married and t...
here were 2 Saturdays open in July. Lauren was only available for 1 of the Saturdays, so that made our decision easy! Yes, Lauren is so good that you would want to choose your wedding date to make sure she is the photographer. We had so much fun doing our engagement shoot with her, and the best time during the day of the wedding. She is funny, calm and has the absolute best energy. I thought I was going to be nervous during pictures before the ceremony/wedding, but she kept it so fun. The bridal party all loved her. The guys even enjoyed taking the pictures AND 8 kids in our wedding all under 10. Other guests even commented on how funny and nice she is. We then started to receive pictures and words don’t do it justice for her work. We are forever grateful for the images she was able to capture of our special day. I cannot stop looking at them, almost a month later. Lauren is so organized, lovely to work with and captures stunning images. I could not recommend Lauren enough.
Lauren – thank you for letting us look at these beautiful images and be able to relive our favorite day. You are the best to work with and we LOVE every single picture and cannot wait to see more 😊
Lauren is simply the best decision we ever made. When we first started interviewing vendors we knew photography was one of our most important. After meeting Lauren we knew INSTANTL...
Y she was the perfect fit. We were blown away by her organization and bubbly personality. Since Lauren had never been to our venue before, she organized an onsite visit to get familiar with the space and learn where all the good spots were... and our venue wasn't that close! On the wedding weekend, Lauren brought calm in times of chaos and brought all the energy and excitement to get the best smiles from our family. All of our family and friends were beyond obsessed with her personality and her ability to get everyone focused while still having fun!
And the photos.......We got sneak peeks the moment we woke up the morning after the wedding... and let me tell you they were S T U N N I N G. We've received so many compliments saying they were the BEST wedding photos anyone has ever seen. Lauren, you absolutely crushed the wedding weekend and captured the most gorgeous photos. We love you so much, thanks for making our fairytale dreams come true!
It is so hard to put into words how lucky we feel to have found Lauren for our special day! From the moment we hired Lauren, we knew we had made the best decision. My husband and I...
are not photogenic and rarely take photos, and Lauren made us both feel confident from our first shoot with her (our engagement shoot). She is such a calming presence and so much fun to work with. She is so efficient with time, willing to work with any specific requests, and truly made our wedding day so perfect - and the photos are absolutely stunning!! Her and her second shooter, Barb helped capture the small details of our day that made it so special, and made all of our friends and family feel comfortable in front of the camera. Hiring Lauren was definitely one of the best decisions we made!
I don't think I could put into words how INCREDIBLE Lauren is. Classic, timeless and authentic is EXACTLY how her photos are. From the moment we spoke on the phone, I was so excite...
d to work with her for our wedding. After we had our engagement shoot, I was so impressed with how comfortable she made us feel, and once we saw the photos, even more excited to have her capture our wedding day.
We had to postpone due to covid, and Lauren was our most important vendor to make sure was available for our second date!
Lauren is incredibly kind, professional and so, so talented. Of course her photos are stunning, but her attention to the little details and capturing happy moments is so beautiful. She really gets to know her couples, and the morning of my wedding she made me feel so beautiful and comfortable. We truly trusted her with everything!! Lauren also did such an incredible job of capturing my winter wedding, calling the rain that fell that day a romantic mist! And that is truly what she captured. She's a genius!
Her assistant was also such a fun person to be around, and did such an incredible job, especially handling our large and excited bridal party!
We recently received our photos back from Lauren, and we are just in awe. Her work is like no other. Everyone who sees the photos so, so impressed with how beautiful her work is.
Like I said before, you can truly just Lauren with everything!! She was one of the key parts in making our wedding the day it was, and we are so happy to have such stunning photos to remember the day by. I can not recommend her enough!!!
Lauren is the best decision you could possibly make to capture your wedding! She went above and beyond in every way! She is extremely organized and very easy to work with- respondi...
ng quickly to questions and offering support for wedding planning! She also helped us through our Covid related postponements- which was so important to us during a very stressful time. She has created an amazing online presence that helps to build excitement leading up to the wedding and get ideas from other brides. Lauren is someone you will love spending time with! She makes photos fun and has a knack for putting everyone at ease! We can not say enough positive things about Lauren as a photographer and a person! We will cherish the memories she captured for the rest of our lives!
Lauren is simply the best. She is so incredible at what she does and holds the same bar for the team she builds around her. She is so happy and cheerful through what can be a stres...
sful day. She keeps everyone happy and the mood light while capturing breathtaking photos of your big day. I can't imagine our wedding day without Lauren and her team keeping everything running smoothly. They were so helpful even beyond the photography. If you want someone who genuinely cares about each and every one of her clients and will elevate your wedding to new heights and make sure it is captured in a timeless and breathtaking way, go with Lauren Kearns.
Lauren is the absolute best! She was so lovely to work with and such a calming presence the day of our wedding. She captured such lovely photos, they are everything I dreamed of ...
and more. Besides my husband, Lauren was the best decision for our wedding!! Cannot thank or rave about her enough! AMAZING!!! BOOK HER ASAP!!!!
What can I say. All the reviews about Lauren are true. She was hands down one of the most incredible wedding vendors we hired throughout the entire wedding process. Lauren is top n...
otch and as good as it gets. I spoke with many photographers. After reviewing multiple galleries of work from many amazing professionals, Lauren’s photography rose to the top every single time. She’s the best when it comes to capturing the moment and has an elevated eye – but what about everything else?
She is just such a joy to be around. She makes you feel comfortable and made the entire process for us and our guests SO fun – like we didn’t want any of our sessions with her to ever end. So many people commented on how incredible Lauren was. I truly feel lucky that we found her and she was available for our date.
I would be remiss not to mention that Lauren also helped us pick our wedding venue. Being from California, an east-coast wedding was something I spent a lot of time researching. Lauren provided many recommendations and acted as more than a photographer every step of the way. She was so organized and buttoned up that I felt confident that she would jump in and help out wherever I needed a suggestion – while capturing the most incredible photos. Who else can say that about their photographer?!
In closing, I’d like to share a message that my Grammy sent me about Lauren. Grammy is known to have very high expectations and dare I say can be a little critical (in a good way!) at times:
Hi. I keep looking at the pictures and reliving the fabulous moments. Such fun! Everything was perfect! The photography is sooo great! I read a lot of Lauren’s Instagram’s and find it amazing that she can write such beautiful and different sentiments for each event. (I’d let her know if I knew how to post…lol)
Hire Lauren – she will make you look good and feel good on your Big Day. I can’t wait to work with her in the future as my family grows and we celebrate more milestones.
Lauren was the BEST decision for a photographer for my wedding day(s)! She actually photographed my first small covid wedding and then our larger wedding part 2, 1 year later. She ...
is the absolute BEST! She is fun and silly, making us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and at the same time so organized and professional. She created an amazing day of schedule and helped everything run smoothly. She really heard all of my requests and I feel SO happy to have her photos from 2 weddings. I was sad when we had to say goodbye after 2+. years of communication about the wedding. She is the BEST of the best and I feel so lucky to have worked with her.
There are not enough words to describe how incredible Lauren Kearns is. I fell in love with Lauren's work while browsing her website and instagram. I decided to meetup with Lauren ...
to get to know her - it sealed the deal because behind her beautiful photos was a person so kind, funny, and positive. When we met with Lauren for our engagement photo shoot we were instantly blown away at how comfortable she made us feel during the session and she was calm and cheerful throughout the entire shoot. Lauren's work is outstanding and her passion for her job really comes through. I couldn't wait to work with Lauren again for our rehearsal dinner and wedding. The day of our wedding was filled with all sorts of weather patterns (rain, thunder, humidity, sun, and a double rainbow!) and the Lauren was so enthusiastic through it all. One of my favorite parts of our wedding day was the quiet moments we had in front of the camera with Lauren and Barb during sunset pictures! They were composed but also guided the entire wedding party throughout the day to keep us on track. Getting our photos back has been a dream and I can't wait to cherish them for years to come. Lauren's style is timeless, classic, light and airy. You will be amazed by what she does. We cannot thank you enough Lauren!!
Lauren Kearns was simply the best choice for a wedding photographer that I could have ever asked for! From the very beginning, she was easy to talk to and I felt comfortable reachi...
ng out to her with my many wedding related questions. Like many others, my now-husband and I had to make some changes to our wedding due to Covid, and Lauren could not have been more flexible. What someone may not realize is that on their own wedding day, their photographer is truly the person they spend the most time with, so it is so important to have someone that brings a fun and relaxed vibe to the day! Lauren was just that and so much more. Between her and her second shooter, Barb, they had us smiling and laughing all day. The night of our wedding when we got back to the hotel, Lauren sent through an email with some "sneak peak" photos from the wedding day and we absolutely loved sharing those with our friends and family at brunch the next morning. The remainder of the photos were turned around in such a short amount of time. My husband and I looked at all the photos together and I think we have over 100 "favorite photos". Lauren's style is classic, natural, and timeless. I know her photography style will never look "trendy" when we look back on photos for years and years to come.
Our decision to hire Lauren as our engagement and of course wedding photographer is easily the best decision we made! She stuck with us over a 2-year engagement, through COVID unce...
rtainty and did everything she could to make us feel comfortable throughout the entire process! We were definitely "photo newbies" when we hired Lauren for our engagement shoot July 2019. She drove all the way down to Longwood Gardens in PA, where I used to go all the time with my grandmother growing up and where Nick and I still visit every Christmas. It was nearly 100F that day, and she helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and braved the oppressive heat for nearly three hours, through countless locations around the grounds and two wardrobe changes. Not only did we have so much fun with Lauren, the photos were of course beautiful! So we just knew that she would be with us on our wedding as well!
The day of the wedding was crazy to say the least, but Lauren was amazing in the weeks leading up, giving specific tips and instructions that helped us get and stay organized. She spent actual hours going over a minute-by-minute plan for the entire day, which made me feel so calm. She and Barb (photographer for the groom) worked seamlessly as a team to capture literally every moment of the day, as well as the gorgeous venue from all of its angles! Lauren is a true professional. Our guests still tell us today how infectious Lauren's smile and positive attitude was, and I know the groomsmen all had a BLAST with Barb during the getting ready photos. Lauren checked in with me all night, worked with our videographer (different company), and somehow managed to keep in touch with the venue staff, coordinators and the band leader and M/C all night to ensure we didn't miss any moments! Without her guidance and experience, we would never have been able to relax and just enjoy our day. Lauren's ability to capture emotion and special moments so quickly really helped us move through our huge family portrait list, and still fit in a beautiful couple's portrait session even without a first look (our preference) and a ceremony that started 45-min late!
One last thing: if you are a bride who is curious or nervous about boudoir shoots, my 1:1 session with Lauren was not only one of the best experiences I've had, but also helped me get to know Lauren more and feel more comfortable and beautiful in front of the camera.
I could go on and on, but just want to say if you are still looking for a photographer, look no further! Lauren is the best, and I can't wait to work with her again!!
When my fiancé and I started planning our wedding two years ago, it was very overwhelming picking vendors and knowing who to trust with being a part of our wedding day. However, I ...
can say with certainty, picking Lauren was one of the easier decisions we made throughout this process and I couldn’t be more glad we did!! On top of her endearing, funny, calm and optimistic personality, she had a way of making my fiancé and I feel comfortable in front of the camera during our engagement pictures and wedding day. In addition to her being flexible and understanding with postponing our wedding due to Covid, Lauren is so organized you cannot go wrong with having her on your side for your wedding day! With Lauren’s day of timeline specifying special moments and details broken down by the minutes, in combination with the lists of people you want photographed, Lauren and her team were SO on top of it all day! Truly, there was not a moment missed! Her experience and expertise made for unbelievable pictures and I cannot emphasis UNBELIEVABLE enough! We have only gotten the sneak peek photos and cannot stop smiling at them. Her work is classic, timeless and nothing short of stunning, we cannot wait to see the rest of the pictures!
I cannot rave enough about Lauren and her work, she is amazingly talented and an absolute pleasure to work with ! From our initials calls a year+ ago, engagement shoot coordination...
, through our wedding day Lauren was professional, accommodating, and organized; her detailed timeline was imperative, as it dictated the entire flow of our day. When it comes to the actual photos - one word, STUNNING !! Every moment and detail was captured so perfect and beautifully ! And coming from a girl who absolutely hates getting her picture taken, the engagement shoot was a great way for us to get comfortable with Lauren and behind the camera, so come our wedding day, we felt much more natural. We could not be more thrilled with our photos and our decision to work with LK to capture our special day, her kind and warm-hearted demeanor resonates throughout each and every photo. We cannot thank Lauren enough for everything and providing such an amazing experience for us on top of it all ! xo A&G

ore I walked down the aisle, Lauren made us feel as though we were in the best possible hands. Lauren’s personality and professionalism shine through when you work with her, and her work speaks for itself! The day after our wedding, Lauren sent us a sneak peek and within a week we had our full “sneak peek” online album. The only difficult thing about the photos, is trying to pick our favorite because it’s nearly impossible, they are all simply that good. The compilation of beautiful memories she captured from that day exemplify the talent that she has, and I promise that no one would regret choosing her to be with part of their big day!
My husband and I were very particular when it came to choosing our photographer for our wedding - we did not want it to look staged or overly corrected / edited. We wanted natural,...
elegant, timeless. . Lauren gave us all of that plus MORE. It was simply a pleasure working with Lauren - She made us feel comfortable and our smiles were so natural and not forced. I am the type of person who does not like how they look in most photos but I was literally IN LOVE with every photo that Lauren took - from the details of my wedding favors, to my bouquet, to my special photos with my husband. I feel so lucky that I chose her as my photographer and I am looking forward to working with her again as I grow my family and create more memorable life moments!!!
Having Lauren capture our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! Planning a wedding during a pandemic is not easy but Lauren was so comforting, professional, responsive and...
flexible throughout the entire process! She took the time to truly get to know us to best prepare for our special day. The day of the wedding, Lauren was such a pleasure to work with, so talented, sweet, genuine, funny and enjoyable for everyone! Lauren helped to seamlessly drive the day and we trusted her every move. We have already received a ton of compliments and people inquiring for her information to book for future events! We HIGHLY recommend choosing Lauren! She will without a doubt capture the most stunning pictures and truly add to the memories and laughs! My husband and I still can’t stop smiling and looking at our pictures! We can’t thank Lauren enough!
I put an extensive amount of research into finding the perfect photographer for our July wedding this year. I reached out to many great people and companies, but ultimately decide...
d on Lauren (which was not a hard decision) for many reasons. Her impressive portfolio of work and gorgeous photos were what initially caught my eye. She has an impressive way of not only capturing the most treasured moments of whatever you are celebrating, but capturing them at the most perfect angle in the most perfect light. After my first phone call with Lauren, I knew I would be in amazing hands with her. She asked all of the right questions and went through a tentative timeline with me right from the start (something not everyone did). It was several months later that my now husband and I actually met Lauren for our engagement photo session and we had an actual blast with her that day. For my husband to have had as good of a time as he did was something I was not even expecting, but it was because Lauren put us at ease right from the start. It re-affirmed our decision and we were that much more excited to have her with us on our big day, not to mention the engagement photos were breathtaking! Over the next few months I had a handful of questions come up in which Lauren responded to right away and with such positivity. She also drove to meet me at the venue the week of our wedding to do a final walk through with me (and be my sounding board as I was quite anxious about the upcoming weather forecast). On the day of our wedding, she felt like a friend - seamlessly hopping around doing her thing most of the day, but also somehow being a huge presence in making sure I was fully taken care of, happy, calm, and looking my best at all times. She also surprised us at the reception with a sneak peek slideshow of some shots placed at our sweetheart table. We left for our honeymoon 2 days later and while we were relaxing on the beach we received an email from Lauren with so may of our photos - it was such a treat to get to look through all of them together in that moment and so soon after our wedding. A memory that I will always cherish. While Lauren's talent and awesome personality will forever keep her business flourishing, in my opinion, it is the attention to detail outside of taking photos that will continue to put her above all the rest including an impressive welcome package, amazing packaging and stationary for anything she puts her name on, the most gorgeous USB drive you'll ever see, sweet surprise tokens of her appreciation from time to time and such professionalism throughout everything. I could go on for days, but the whole point here is Lauren will continue to impress you from start to finish and even after that. Her photos are amazing so you could never go wrong, but with her you get so much more than just photos. She is the best of the best!
I cannot say enough great things about Lauren and her team. We first met her almost a year before our wedding during our engagement photoshoot and we knew at that moment that we ma...
de the best choice! Lauren is professional, funny and kind. She makes everyone around her feel so comfortable. One of the best things about Lauren is that she provides you with wedding photos so quickly. I will never forget the moment that she presented my husband and me with a slideshow of photos on the night of the wedding! The next morning they were in my email. 5 days later we had a whole blog of photos- each one more amazing than the last. I cannot recommend Lauren enough!
