About this vendor
Hi I'm Lauren! I shot my first wedding over 10 years ago and have had the pleasure of shooting at over 100 weddings since! With all of that experience, I have mastered my photojournalistic approach to wedding photography. It doesn't have to be stiff and boring! I focus on capturing the moments as they happen in a fun and natural way. I'm not just there to take pictures on your wedding day, but to help you have the best day ever. I'll be your helping hand and make sure everything goes smooth. In the end it's all about having a good time and I'm there to be the calm in the chaos and remind you to enjoy every moment while I take care of capturing it for you!

Lauren captured our engagement and wedding day photos and all I can say is wow, she is such a bright spot of our big day. My only regret is not taking a photo with her so we could ...
have it for our memories! Luckily we have a few shots from the photobooth to remember her by :P
Lauren has a calm and warm demeaner - she is thoughtful about making you feel comfortable and makes sure to understand what you want from your photos so she can best meet your expectations. We wanted someone who would capture our energy and didn't want our photos be too stiff and formal and she completely delivered. We have a beautiful photos she helped direct us for posing as well as wonderful candids, making sure to capture lots of facial expressions - something that was important to me.
Lauren is an excellent communicator, timely, and SO FAST at sending sneak peeks, which is above and beyond our expectations. I would absolutely recommend Lauren for any bride or any event you want to capture - she will not only capture the beauty of the event but also the feeling of the day. You won't be disappointed!!
We hired Lauren for our engagement and wedding day and we could not have been more happy with our decision. Her style and aesthetic of warm hues and candid moments were just what w...
e were looking for. She was so nice and communicative throughout the whole process. My husband and I are not naturals in front of the camera, but working with Lauren, she helped us get amazing shots that we had hoped for. She is worth the investment!
Neither my husband or I love having our picture taken. But she made us both feel so comfortable and at ease. She's a lovely human and a great director. She photographed our engagem...
ent photos which turned out beautifully. We originally had her for our wedding but the pandemic made everything difficult and she was booked for our final date.
However she found us a fabulous photographer and assistant to shoot in her stead. Lauren did all the editing and delivery and we couldn't be more pleased! I will never be able to express enough gratitude for the beautiful memorialization of our wedding.
Thank you, Lauren!
Wow! Lauren is absolutely amazing. She worked with us on our elopement photos and then a year later our wedding/reception photos. She did such an amazing job, we loved working ...
with her. She was flexible, accommodating, organized, detail orientated, artful and an all around exceptional human being. It was such a pleasure working with her, she captured every moment perfectly. My mom and dad do not get along and I didnt have any photos of them together, yet she was able to capture a moment between my family that was absolutely magical. This means so much to me. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone who wants beautiful photos and a great photography that just gets it!
Lauren was an absolute delight to work with for both our engagement photos in 2019 and our wedding photos in 2021. Lauren was so patient and understanding when we had to change wed...
ding plans twice due to the pandemic, and through it all, was one of our biggest supporters since we first met her in 2019. Lauren went above and beyond to assist with our wedding day timeline to ensure we had the most important moments captured during our backyard wedding - the photos turned out better than we could have ever imagined! Lauren is such a special photographer, she makes you feel comfortable as if you've been friends for many years and has the perfect eye for capturing the most beautiful angles, light, and details. You will not regret hiring her as your engagement and wedding photographer, I can promise you that!
I would 100/10 recommend Lauren Miles to be your wedding photographer, she was amazing to work with. She was incredibly helpful with helping us pick a first look location (since we...
live across the country this was amazing) and when on the day of the wedding, the limo company told her they wouldn't be able to get to said location, she quickly pivoted and helped coordinate everyone to a different first look location. She got gorgeous photos during the ceremony and reception, and made the family pictures quick! and easy Also, even though she is absolutely slammed by the crazy summer 2021 wedding season she got sneak peeks to us in THREE DAYS!!!! I could not believe it. We can not wait to see the rest of our gallery.
As the little sister of a wedding photographer, I fully understand the value a great photographer brings to your wedding - and the lasting memories they provide! Once we booked our...
venue, I knew a photographer had to be the next step. I spent a couple weeks researching with literally a hundred tabs open on my computer - photog websites, google reviews, blogs, Instagram feeds, you name it! I found everything about Lauren’s online presence to be kind, welcoming, playful, artsy and simply beautiful. She responded quickly to our inquiry and we had an initial video meeting (#covidweddingplanning)... And we just loved her!
Throughout the planning process, Lauren was responsive and super helpful! She’s a great listener, but isn’t afraid to offer her own ideas and expertise when you feel stuck.
Come wedding day - she continued to impress! Arrived on time, made herself at home with my gals getting ready. We needed a quick change of plans for our first look/bridal party photos due to rain and she handled it with such calmness and an “it’s not a big deal!” attitude that I never felt an ounce of panic.
As a couple, we’ll be the first to admit that we’re goofy and don’t feel super natural in front of the camera, but Lauren made us look and feel absolutely gorgeous! You don’t think about how much time you spend with your photographer on your wedding day and she made us feel so, so comfortable and relaxed. She found the playful moments, the dramatic light and the unexpected little details during our ceremony (like a wandering chicken!) that we will remember forever.
We are incredibly grateful for Lauren and will gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented photographer to capture some of their greatest memories. Thank you, Lauren!
Lauren was absolutely amazing. We put all our trust in her and let her do her thing. She was beyond helpful and responsive to all our questions and needs. One thing I find SO impor...
tant about a photographer is that they don't get in the way of your guests while capturing all the moments. Lauren was a ninja and didn't miss a single moment!!!
Lauren was absolutely fantastic!
We had a great experience working with her, from the initial interview to the engagement photos and especially the day of the wedding. Lauren was...
on time, super nice to work with and just overall a great person and so fun to have at our wedding. She worked well with our videographer and was super fast in getting us our engagement photos. She also got us a few sneak peek photos almost immediately after the wedding and then gave us the rest of the photos pretty quickly considering how many she took and they all looked amazing! Overall a wonderful experience that left us with great photos and memories of our special day.
Thank You Lauren!
I cannot recommend Lauren enough! My husband and I are not naturals in front of a camera, but she made us feel so at ease and happy during our engagement session and wedding. I've ...
only seen a preview of all of the pictures, but they already turned out better than I could have imagined! She is so talented, and was so fun to work with. We can't thank her enough for capturing the memories and feel of our wedding day!

cess was very easy going and fun, she really captured our essence in the photos.
Lauren was an absolute dream to work with. My now husband and I have a history of crazy goofy weird pictures together, and somehow we look like straight up models in the pics she t...
ook. She was so delightful to spend time with, and made us feel so comfortable and at ease. The photos she provided us from the engagement shoot and ceremony are absolutely stunning, I could not be happier. She captured details I never even thought to ask about. We had a super small wedding (28 people) and she moved about stealthily and captured so many amazing candid moments. Do not hesitate, hire this wonderful artist!!
