Lauren Leyba Photography

d dedication. Every moment, big and small, was beautifully documented, and her photos truly tell the story of our special day. On top of that, the added video clip brought tears to our eyes—it’s a gift we’ll treasure forever. Lauren's professionalism, creativity, and warmth made the entire experience so enjoyable. She has an incredible eye for detail and a way of making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. Thanks to her, we have stunning photos and cherished memories to look back on for years to come. We can’t recommend her enough—if you’re looking for someone to capture your day perfectly, Lauren is the one!

t making you feel comfortable behind the camera. She did our engagement photos, rehearsal dinner and wedding photos which all came out better than we could have ever hoped. Every photo feels so unique to us while also showing her creative eye. I can not recommend her enough!!

love her unique and timeless style and her ability to shoot on film, which involved switching between a lot of cameras! 10/10!

rned out! Lauren perfectly captured our day in the most organic way, it’s like reliving the entire day each time we look at the photos. I couldn’t recommend her enough and of course always add on the film!

ything turned out for us. The film pictures are certainly the highlight!!! Thanks Lauren!

takes a special kind of professional to meld into the madness as well as she did and my husband and I were so grateful for her creative direction. She prioritized documenting the small moments between my husband and I and the photos that came from those moments are some of our absolute favorites. We HIGHLY recommend including the film add-on to your wedding package. Lauren captures such palpable, moody, and joyous moments in film that cannot be felt the same way on digital. Our wedding gallery absolutely blew our expectations out of the water and only further solidifies that Lauren is a master of her craft. We truly can't imagine our wedding day without her so do yourself a favor and hire Lauren. :)

s feel so comfortable and beautiful day of. Having your photo taken can feel awkward but with Lauren’s direction we had a blast. Every image she delivered is beautiful! I keep showing them to everyone. Even those who do not ask. I cannot recommend her enough! Her sharing my love for one direction was just the cherry on top.

e, helpful in directing us when taking photos, fun to be around, she turned photos really quickly, was super helpful with planning, and a really awesome person to spend a chaotic evening with! We absolutely love the photos she took and seriously could not have had a better experience with Lauren. Thank you Lauren!!

an amazing job capturing the moments we wanted but also the essence and energy of the night. She is very professional, organized and a calming presence to have around. If you are looking for a great photographer, Lauren has you covered!

y, and that truly goes such a long way into making the process comfortable and the product that much more special and intimate. Not only did she deliver a stunning set of photos, her presence on the day of (helping organize family shoots and making sure everyone had their boutonnieres!!!) was invaluable. Lauren is pure talent and I would re-book her in a heartbeat.

process, starting with our initial call. Since we had already had engagement photos taken out of state, we were able to use our included “engagement session” to take pictures after the wedding in our outfits up in the mountains. Those are now our favorite wedding photos! We got exactly what we were hoping for. We’re obsessed with our photos and are now hoping to hire her for our maternity shoot!

had a unique style, eye for composition and a solid understanding for color. When I found Lauren and saw her portfolio and IG page I knew she was the one. She came all the way out to Telluride to capture so many special moments, she made me feel comfortable when I was feeling really nervous, she endured all the crazy climates we had that day with us. She witnessed and captured the most beautiful moments of our wedding. She was really great directing us and made us feel super comfortable and beautiful. Aside from how talented she is, Lauren is also a gem, she is so sweet and friendly which makes for an even better experience, and better photos! I was seriously shocked when we received our Sneak Peak photos, they are the most beautiful photos I've seen or been part of. We've gotten so many compliments from family and friends they are truly more than we could've ask for. They are perfect! If you are looking for a weeding photographer look no more, you've found her and you will be happy you listened to these reviews

y cared for and supported by her. On the wedding day, she was such a calming and professional presence, and she captured every single important second of that day. Her photography style is so personal and beautiful; our jaws literally dropped when we got our preview photos back. I'm always a little nervous about looking awkward in photos, but she really put us at ease and captured the joy and love we felt. She delivered our full gallery to us less than two months after the wedding, which is incredible given how busy vendors are this year! The photos brought us to tears; it was so wonderful seeing the magic of our day captured so beautifully. Our package came with a free engagement session, but we were an out-of-town couple and wouldn't have been able to come to Colorado for an extra shoot, so she let us do a "day-after" shoot instead where we got to get all dressed up again and go deeper into the mountains for some gorgeous Colorado mountain wedding photos, including some on film (which I HIGHLY recommend you add to your package - the photos came out so soft and magical). That was a huge highlight of our wedding weekend, getting to have some quiet time together to enjoy nature and document our weekend without any pressure of the wedding day timeline. I simply can't say enough good things about Lauren; I know we will treasure these photos our entire lives!

nted. I thought It might feel awkward to take our engagement photos but it was quite the opposite. She played music, gave us direction, and just let us play around. Of course this just built to the wedding day. All the photos are so beautiful and unique. Also highly suggest you book film with your photos because those were some of my favorites.

hat can be such a chaotic environment. We received a large portion of our photos just a few days after our wedding (queue the tears!!) and the other photos we received about a month after the wedding. These photos are absolutely perfect and so very special to us! Thank you!

from friends and family. She is so easy to work with, communicative, and professional. She quickly turned around a massive gallery of gorgeous photos. I highly recommend hiring Lauren for your wedding photos!

you, Lauren!!!!!

eat value, and truly just such a kind person. I am so glad she was available on our wedding date.

made us feel relaxed during the engagement shots and incredible during our wedding! She was also so patient and gave great guidance during our family and group shots. Now that we have the photos back, it's clear that she is truly a quality photographer. She really captured the fun of the night and all of the special, quiet moments in between. I highly suggest working with Lauren for weddings, engagement photos, or any photos you may need.

nd the pictures turned out absolutely amazing!!! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.

e to snap photos, she will jump in to help day of for anything you need. Lauren has a true artist’s eye for photography. She provided a sneak peek of ~50 images less than one week after the wedding to hold us over until she’s able to get our full album ready for us. Just in that preview, there are so many stunning images that she captured of not just the ceremony or standard bridal party shots but artistic captures of the small details as well as some incredible candid shots during the reception and dancing. We plan to use Lauren in the future for family photos! We found our photographer and we couldn’t be happier!!

er with family photos, and engagement photos. She was incredibly professional and easy to work with leading-up to the wedding (responsive, flexible, knowledgeable of sites), she scoped out our ceremony site in advance to make sure she had the right set-up for the day itself, and made us feel comfortable and natural as she took our photos on the big day. We ended up with a TON of photos capturing lots of small moments that we'll cherish forever. If you're looking for a wedding photographer (or just someone who can help you update your family photo book), look no more and just hire Lauren.

able and we walked away LOVING our photos.
