One of the best pieces of advice I received when planning my wedding was to spend a little extra on getting a great photographer because your photos are truly one of the only things you will be able to look back on to remember your special day. Lauren was nothing short of great. She was fabulous and her talent for shooting in film always found ways to amaze me. She made us feel so comfortable from the moment we met her, and we were able to laugh and joke and completely be ourselves on our wedding day around her. At the end of the day, I would like to think that Lauren wasn't only our photographer, but she ended up our friend as well. She is the BEST, and my husband and I love her to death!
Lauren and her husband Michael have been so great to us. When I saw Lauren's work, I immediately knew she was who I wanted to shoot our wedding in Seaside, FL. I also respected her choice to shoot in film - she really knows her stuff, and the images turned out so romantic and painterly. We chose a package that included an engagement shoot, and that was a great way for my groom and I to meet Lauren and Michael and get comfortable with them before the big day. Lauren is such a sweetheart and we consider her and Michael our dear friends. It was so comforting knowing our images were in their hands on the big day - we can't wait to see how they turn out!
Lauren and Michael Kinsey are beyond incredible!!! I found Lauren Kinsey Photography through the Wedding Photojournalist Association and immediately fell in love with their work - their ability to capture the moment is uncanny. I called Lauren that afternoon and heard back from her that same day (even though she was on vacation in California!). Sadly, she was booked for our intended wedding date (Saturday, October 8th), but I was so head-over-heels for her THAT I CHANGED OUR WEDDING DATE!!! And believe me - it was worth it!!! She was an absolute joy to work with - so friendly and personable, and she was constantly tossing around creative ideas for wedding decor. And she was so patient through it all as our wedding transformed from a simple beachside ceremony into the "French Country meets Southern Charm" theme that we ended up with. My fiancé was not too thrilled about doing engagement photos (like most men, he doesn't enjoy being in front of a camera), but he completely changed his mind after the "Loveshoot" was over - Lauren did an AMAZING job of putting us both at ease and making us feel relaxed and confident (seriously, she has a gift!). I would recommend that everyone does a "Loveshoot", just so you can get used to working with them and being in front of the camera. They were always professional, prompt in responding to emails and phone calls, on time, extremely flexible, and upheld everything in our contract. We were so fortunate to have them photograph our wedding day, and I cannot recommend them enough!
I used Lauren Kinsey for my wedding and I couldn't have been more pleased. In the midst of the CRAZINESS of a wedding day, Lauren and her husband showed up, and were absolutely calm about everything. They knew what they were doing, they set up some shots and poses, and they also captured the 'real' moments throughout the day. AND on top of that they are incredible to work with. I also didn't meet them until the day of...but I couldn't have been happier. So glad I chose them. Their work is wonderful!
Lauren and her husband were so sweet and did a great job with our pictures! She really made me feel special and like one of her very own friends. She does amazing work! I highly reccommend her!
Lauren and Michael are absolutely the sweetest people ever to work with. Lauren is full of ideas, extremely creative, and just plain fun. Our wedding was perfect and Lauren and Michael were always by our side to capture every moment. I highly recommend this team - you will be so happy with the outcome.
My husband and I went over to Destin, FL for our honeymoon, and we decided to capture that special time in our lives by booking a honeymoon session on the beach with Lauren Kinsey Photography. We had such a fun time with her! She is excellent at directing you into the perfect pose, setting your nerves at ease, and all the while capturing breathtaking images. If you're in her area, I would highly recommend using her for a love shoot or your wedding. You won't be disappointed :)
Lauren and Michael are not only amazing photographers; they are amazing people. They were friends at the wedding, friends carrying cameras! Lauren worked so closely with me for months leading up to the wedding, to get every detail right, that by the time the wedding day came, she was another friend arriving for the big day!
They just know people. They sense moments about to happen, and are there, ready with the camera. But you never notice, until later when you see the picture. Lauren and Michael moved about so effortlessly and gracefully during the wedding, and they truly have an eye for detail, color, design, and emotion that is clear in their photography. The pictures before the wedding, the photographs from our "first look" session, the ceremony, the reception....each moment was so clearly defined and capture.
I would say I would recommend Lauren and Michael to anyone, but I don't have to...anyone who sees the pictures from our beautiful wedding asks for their card!
Lauren and her husband Michael were absolutely wonderful to work with, I found them online and so glad that I did! Lauren is very talented and I Love Love Love her pictures. I have received so many compliments on all my photos!
I cannot say enough great things about Lauren and her husband Michael. Lauren is the easiest person in the world to get along with and she has a true gift for photography. Her pictures are amazing. Lauren and Michael captured moments that we will treasure for a lifetime. I would highly recommend their services.
My husband & I had the pleasure to work with Lauren Kinsey Photography a month ago for our wedding day. After searching for a while to find the perfect photographer a simple conversation sold me on my choice. Lauren is not just an awesome photographer but she has such a charming personality that you feel like you've known her for years. She captured our day beautifully and we are glad to have found such a jewel.
I didn't actually use Lauren for my wedding. I had an awful experience with my wedding photographer in Miami, and found Lauren later for our newlywed shoot in Tallahassee. She is so much fun to work with, and makes you feel completely comfortable in no time at all. She is truly an artist. I only wish I could have found her before the wedding, because it definitely would have been worth having her travel. I can't wait to work with her again!
Lauren Kinsey has a gift for capturing the most remarkable moments of life. She also has a keen eye for detail and is able to frame each moment with such artistry and love. Lauren was a delight to work with in every way! A moment passes so quickly, but I am so grateful for the beauty that she has preserved for us forever.
As a side note, Lauren Kinsey Photography has been featured on some of the premier wedding resources in the industry, include Style Me Pretty. View here: http://www.stylemepretty.com/2010/08/17/mobile-alabama-wedding-f ull-of-color/
We were so impressed, that I also wrote an article with pictures of her work here: www.theblueskybride.com
Thank you Lauren! You have a gift!! 5 Stars ALL THE WAY!
I live in Tampa and wanted a beach wedding in the panhandle area. I blindly started looking and quickly gave up thinking the task was too much. After looking at Tampa vendors, I still had the pang of wanting my northern beach wedding. I began looking again and stumbled across Lauren on a blog. I fell in love with her work and her whole concept. She wasn't just taking pictures- she was creating these beautiful images that made you say "WOW"! I've seen lots of friends and family wedding photos and none compared to the pictures I was looking at. I got goosebumps and emailed her right away. Lauren personally called me after receiving my email and we worked together to book a date. Since I was long distance, I wanted to keep in close contact with my vendors. With this photographer, nothing was easier. She is everything you'd want- friendly, energetic, and real! I emailed her with any questions or concerns. I felt comfortable enough to ask her for opinions and recommendations on other vendors, wedding timeline planning, and weather!
Her work is unmatched- she takes a ordinary photo and makes it breathtaking. I would highly recommend Lauren Kinsey photography to any bride!
We are so glad that we chose Lauren Kinsey Photography to shoot our wedding day. Lauren and her team were the just the sweetest people. We love all the amazing and creative pictures they took of our big day! We would recommend her to anyone!!!
Lauren Kinsey was awesome. I found Lauren on theknot.com and was calling because I absolutely loved her website and found that she was the most reasonably priced on the website, which was an extra bonus. I know nothing about photography by any means but what I liked about her website was that the featured photos that were fun, had the couple's personality shinning through, bright, and most of all not posed. I called Lauren 2 months before our scheduled reception and she was able to do it. I loved her personality, how easy going and positive she was especially since I had no idea what the heck I was doing. A week before the reception we decided that we wanted to take a boat to the venue. I called Lauren, her and Michael were up for it. On the day of our reception it was cloudy and looked like it was going to rain, Lauren and Michael were brave enough to take their camera equipment on the boat and we got some awesome photos out of it. Michael's whole side of his shirt was drenched because of how choppy the water was, but their cameras were safe in plastic bags. I loved that they were up for anything. My husband is pretty shy and what I loved most is that they made him feel comfortable. Our pictures turned out amazing and they show our personality. We still need to order photos for our house and when I finally get a break from school I'll call Lauren to order them. When we do have children, Lauren Kinsey Photography will be taking our first family photos. Nothing short of awesome!
Lauren is the sweetest person you will ever meet and after working with her you'll feel like you have a new best friend! Plus, since it is a husband and wife team you get the added benefit of 2 unique styles of shooting and points of view.
A friend of mine recommended Lauren and after checking out her adorable website and blog I knew I had to meet her. We spoke over the phone and I instantly knew she would be a delight to work with!
My first face-to-face meeting with Lauren was on our wedding day and I instantly felt so comfortable with her. I'm usually hate having my picture taken, but she gave amazing direction and was so experienced that I knew the pictures would come out perfect and felt so at ease. She had wonderful ideas for creative shots and was an absolute joy to work with!
Thank you Lauren & Michael for making our special day unforgettable!
Lauren and Micheal are a husband and wife team, they work together so amazingly! I asked to meet Lauren before I hired her just to get a feel for her style and ideas for my wedding. Not only did she meet me the next day, but within the first 5 minutes I knew she was the photographer for me, her energy in contagious! On our wedding day we had a few set backs with time and Lauren was so calm, friendly, and helpful! I LOVED working with her and will absolutely use her again for family pictures when we start growing our family!
Thank you Lauren and Micheal !!!!
