our wedding!! Cannot thank or rave about her enough! AMAZING!!! BOOK HER ASAP!!!!

ter 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.

rtable 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.

tiful 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!!

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.

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!!

isions 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!

, 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

hout the wedding planning process. From our first phone call, to the engagement shoot, planning the timeline and details, boudoir shoot, wedding day, and photo delivery, the entire process was a seamless, fun experience. She will work with you to ensure you are comfortable with everything along the way and your pictures will prove it! We are so thrilled with all our pictures, they captured our day perfectly. We cannot thank Lauren enough for providing a stress-free experience - she is truly the best in the biz!

r, Lauren was flexible, empathetic, and accomdating. While at the event, she and her team made every family & friend feel comfortable, capturing the most authentic & memorable moments that we will look back on for years to come. Overall, our experience was outstanding; we would recommend Lauren to family & friends, and plan to use her as our go to photographer in the future!

re 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!

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!!!

uly 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!

er 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!

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!

eautiful than we could have hoped for. It was seriously so hard to pick our favorites to use- which is the best problem to have!  Not only is she an incredible photographer, but she is the kindest person. She was so calming to work with and really made the whole experience so relaxing and enjoyable for us and our entire wedding party.   We can't wait for our family members/friends to use Lauren at their wedding in the future so we can work with her (& hang out with her again - she's really that awesome). We HIGHLY recommend choosing Lauren as she will take the most stunning pictures whether it be at the beach, mountains or golf course- she just has the eye for the most beautiful spots regardless of where you are! Thanks again Lauren, we loved working with you & are so happy with how all of our pictures have turned out!!!

ssed when I saw how the pictures came out! I knew then that we would use her for our wedding one day! Two years later, I emailed Lauren after Frank and I got engaged and I was ecstatic when I found out she was available for our date! From the engagement shoot to the wedding day, Lauren was on top of everything and made us feel so at ease every step of the way. There were some aspects of the wedding planning process that I was a bit worried about, but photography was not one of them! She is so easy to work with, from her bubbly personality to her organization for day of details, she made everything a breeze. I can’t get over how beautiful our pictures came out and everyone that we show them to feels the same. Lauren and her team of Kelly and Maggie were just incredible and I can’t recommend them enough!!!!

e of finding the perfect photographer. From our first conversation, Lauren’s bubbly and easygoing affect made us feel at ease. Her online portfolio, of course, is simply stunning, and coupled with her personality and professionalism, she was the obvious choice. On the day of, Lauren was attentive to each detail, ran perfectly on schedule, and did so in the lightest and most pleasant of ways. She orchestrated a beautiful first look (that we decided to do mere hours beforehand...), and corralled our college friends into (stunning!) group photos at the end of the night. The sheer energy in the dancing photos is totally palpable, and each candid has incredible life. Just prior to departing, she and Barb (also easily 5/5) pulled me and my spouse outside for photos with the lanterns we had set up outside. When we received our photos last week, we were floored. The artistry of each photo is unparalleled by that of the work of other wedding photographers we have encountered; the composition of each shot is perfect, our unbridled joy shines straight through, and the light is simply beautiful. In. Every. Single. Shot. Our friends and family have repeatedly said that our wedding photos belong in bridal magazines. Thank you so much, Lauren and Barb, for an unforgettable experience!

essional, fun and always by my side! Lauren went above and beyond, she also helped with the organization of the wedding! She eased me and my husband throughout the wedding process. I would highly recommend her to anyone! My husband and I added the additional photographer and an extra hour! I highly suggest it because you only have 1 night! Lauren and Barb are hysterical together. They were able to make the kids focus! And get very creative and beautiful photos for a lifetime!

he perfect and easiest decision we could have made during our planning process. We are so thankful we found a venue that had her available dates (LOL)! Lauren helped us feel stress-free and made everything feel so convenient, easy, and natural for us. Honestly, we felt so excited to have her be a part of our day as a friend more than we felt like she was “just” our photographer. We seriously had a blast with Lauren and Barb on our wedding day. I’m smiling just thinking about how fun it was! Not only were they both organized, directive, friendly, and just incredible with us and our families, BUT LET’S TALK ABOUT THE PICTURES! We are at a loss for words! They captured every emotion and detail so beautifully. We don’t know how we will every choose our favorites! The praise and comments we have received from family and friends on how amazing Lauren and Barb were, and how gorgeous all of the photos are, is never ending! And we could not agree more with them. Lauren is incredible at what she does, and we feel so blessed that we were able to have her be a part of the most special day of our lives.

ese things and more. She was punctual and responsive to our questions and the only photographer we met with who provided a rough timeline for us within 24 hours of our initial conversation. During our engagement session we were immediately comfortable, as we shared life stories, laughed about how her kids say the darndest things and popped champagne to get the perfect spray of bubbly for our photos (which turned out to be some of our favorites). And this was just the beginning! As the big day got closer, planning was so easy thanks to her helpful questionnaire that teased out our wish list and ultimately informed the details of the final schedule. Once the big day was here, Lauren (and her amazing assistant Barb!) were such a pleasure to have around - everyone in the bridal party, family and many of our guests mentioned how much they loved meeting Lauren and Barb. It is an amazing talent to not only know your craft in the way that she does, but to also make such a lasting and positive impression on everyone you meet - and she nailed it. We've received endless compliments on the photos from both our engagement session and our wedding day and we could not be more grateful. Lauren, you absolutely knocked it out of the park -- thank you for making our day so special!

relatable, warm, and fun! She does a great job at helping you have fun and making you feel comfortable in front of the camera. She was well organized for family/wedding party photos, was all over the dance floor to capture the great moments, and did it all with a smile on her face. Best yet, the photographs came out amazing! We are in love with each and every one. She was a pleasure to have around and I can't imagine doing it without her. We're already brainstorming other events to have her photograph!!

r but booking other vendors and how to fill out the timeline of our day. We met her for the first time in Long Beach Island, NJ to do our engagement shoot. My husband and I are not exactly super comfortable in front of the camera but Lauren made it so easy and fun and we absolutely loved our pictures. Then on the day of the wedding Lauren again was simply incredible. Our whole bridal party loved her. We had a lot of people in our bridal party and families and Lauren made things stay organized and quick so the pictures were a breeze! She gave us a sneak peak at some of the pictures at the wedding and our week after blog post were simply incredible. The pictures are simply stunning and I can't wait to see the rest of them. I'd recommend Lauren to any one getting married. She will forever be one of the many happy memories from our wedding day!
