Lauren Rae Photography

HANDS DOWN the best decision for our vow renewal. She made us instantly comfortable and made each person in our party feel like a rock star. Every picture captures the love, fun and sparkle of our day. Great communication and up for anything. You absolutely won’t regret going with Lauren.

Lauren is the absolute best. She’s so creative and even when you can’t picture it, she can and everything always turns out amazing. We’ve used her countless times, back home in Atlanta and even when she moved out to Las Vegas. Stop the search and book now! She’s awesome!!!

Absolutely loved having Lauren as our wedding photographer! She effortlessly captured all the special moments! We could not have asked for anyone better, simply phenomenal! I would also like to mention she missed the opportunity to see Taylor Swift for us, I mean who does that?? Clearly someone who is absolutely devoted to your day! 💜

Lauren is amazing to work with! Her photos are absolutely stunning and she sent sneak peaks so fast! She got photos of everything I asked for and so much more!

I cannot recommend Lauren enough! My husband and I visited Death Valley NP a few years ago and could not have imagined we would get the opportunity to have a photo shoot there… Lauren made it possible for us. Aside from the fact that it was hot, there was limited places to stay, and no cell service, Lauren planned and executed this day flawlessly. She camped out the night before and even drove our videographer around the park with her. Lauren took the lead and really went out of her way. On top of all this, the photos she delivered were stunning. She’s an absolute gem of a photographer and person. We highly recommend Lauren for your next photo shoot!

Working with Lauren and Ashley is one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We felt so natural and relaxed in front of them immediately—they felt like our friends or older siblings. They were genuinely interested in our story and getting to know us. Day of, I learned that photographers are so much more than photographers—Lauren was my right hand, a calm head in a storm, my go between, my last minute Uber procurer, my dress adjuster. Then, she got us our sneak peek in THREE DAYS. I mean, the photographs are unbelievable. Beyond my wildest dreams and I will treasure them forever. But I can’t recommend Lauren enough because of who she is and how wonderful she was from the beginning to the end of our wedding journey. Seriously. Book her now. I may just fly to NV for any other photos we need for the rest of our lives.

We loved working with Lauren so much and would recommend her to everyone! Her website has very upfront, detailed pricing. It was so nice to know exactly what to expect. She was so helpful with picking an engagement shoot location and traveled so many miles to complete it. I’m still so obsessed with our engagement photos she took. Lauren and Ashleigh made us feel so comfortable and felt like old friends! Lauren was very involved in the wedding process too. She attended our wedding walk through and we discussed picture locations. On the day of the wedding, she was organized and took wonderful shots. She spent so much time with us to make sure we had all of the pictures we wanted. After the wedding, the huge sneak peek was incredible! I am so glad we used Lauren Rae Photography for our engagement photos and wedding day!

So I wasn’t the bride but the MOH at a wedding Lauren shot and she was FANTASTIC!! I wish I had known about her for my own wedding a year earlier. She was kind and funny and super helpful throughout the entire day. I’m not someone who feels comfortable in front of a camera and she made all of us feel so at ease. I really liked the way she got into the action to get great dance floor shots - it wasn’t awkward like some weddings where the photographer was in the way or moving people - she was part of the celebration and the pictures really capture all of the joy and love in the room. Outstanding photos and person!

Lauren took my engagement photos! She was great to work with. She is super friendly. She helped pose us for pictures, which was helpful because not all photographers do that. She even worked with our two doggos and got amazing shots. The gallery of edited photos was amazing and turn around time was quick! I highly recommend her! You won’t be disappointed.

Lauren is a PHENOMENAL photographer and person. My husband and I were lucky enough to get her to do a 5-mile hike for our engagement shoot while she was still on the east coast. It was so much fun hiking and getting to know her, we were instant friends. Our wedding day was amazing and she did a fantastic job. She is extremely organized, punctual, and friendly which is crucial. If you are looking for an adventurous and fun-loving photographer, she's your gal! Highly recommend.

Working with Lauren was one of the best decisions we made! I have a family member with special needs and that can make pictures really hard. Lauren was incredible. we got amazing pictures and she was willing to change plans at a moment's notice to accommodate that family member. I really cherish all of our pictures and was so touched that I have pictures that I thought we wouldn't be able to get. Also, she was one of the top supporters of our canoe exit and was totally down for engagements in the river. if you like adventure and nature, she's the photographer for you.

SImply crushed it. Her photos could not have been more perfect. She was also amazing to work with; friendly, efficient, accommodating, a bad ass. I would 100% recommend her and her team.

Lauren is one of the best creative professionals I have ever worked with, both in my personal and professional life. She is an incredibly talented artist. Her photography captures the magic of moments, that spark of life. She takes care to make her subjects feel comfortable and at-ease, empowering their natural beauty to come through. As a person, she's just as wonderful -- Lauren is organized, respectful, and thoughtful, and the people she collaborates with (Aubrey, Alexia, among others) are equally fantastic. She leads an intentional organization that has been flexible and understanding throughout the pandemic. I cannot recommend Lauren Rae Photography enough.

Lauren was an absolute dream to work with. I knew I wanted a photographer who remained true to color and really would capture the essence of the day, and Lauren did that and beyond. In summer 2020, she was extremely flexible and patient as we worked to schedule our engagement photos around Covid restrictions and rain in the ATL summer. Our photos came out beautifully, and I knew we had made a great choice. But what stood out to me for Lauren was not only her stunning photos and amazing eye, but her easy ability to connect with people. She was so easy going and genuine with all of my friends and family. During a stressful time period where we were running late with photos before the ceremony, she was such a calming presence and felt like a friend I had known for years. She was so reassuring that we had captured what we needed and were doing fine. Her and her shooter captured our entire night in the most amazing way, without you even realizing they were there the majority of the time. We are blown away by our incredible sneak peek photos, and I cannot wait to see the rest of them. If you are looking for a photographer who will truly capture the love and essence of your big day, Lauren is the choice for you!

We absolutely loved having Lauren as our wedding photographer! She made us feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. We're in love with our photos and so many people have complimented how great our photos turned out. Not only is Lauren an amazing photographer, but she also gave perfect wedding day advice from which direction to hold the bouquet to helping calm my nerves before I walked down the aisle. Her assistant the day of the wedding was also super friendly and kind. Do not hesitate to book her as your photographer for your big day!

Lauren is amazing!!! We had such a great time working with her, from the first meeting to the Engagement shoot to the day of! She is super responsive, and will help you figure out what pictures will give you the most out of the day. I have only heard rave reviews from my guests and family about the pictures we've gotten! She is absolutely worth it, and I highly recommend choosing Lauren for your special day! We plan on going back for family portraits in the future, we've been spoiled by her photos!

Lauren is the absolute best photographer ever! She was so sweet, chill, and fun to be around, while having an incredible eye for pictures and lighting. We met Lauren and liked her instantly, and her photos speak for themselves. I can be pretty self-conscious and I was nervous about our engagement shoot, but Lauren made it fun, easy, and low-key. It felt like hanging out with a friend, who happened to have a camera. Our engagement pictures are stunningly beautiful; magazine quality! We just got married last week and we already got back an incredible amount of teaser pics that are beyond what I could have imagined. We look our personal bests. The backgrounds Lauren chose are perfect. I've heard about people complaining that they were pulled away from their wedding for photos all night, but Lauren and her assistant Michael (who we also loved) were able to get the shots without having us pose. It was natural and awesome, and we could not be happier. I can't recommend Lauren highly enough!

Lauren was fantastic! She was easy to work with and made everyone feel very comfortable. All the pictures, both posed and candid, turned out great. She was easy to contact whenever we had questions leading up to the event, was on time and had everything ready the day of. Would highly recommend her to any of my friends and family!

Lauren was great to work with. We had planned to do our engagement photos at Fernbank, only to find out it was field trip day when we got there! We didn't want to have to reschedule, so Lauren rolled with the punches, and we ended up going to a different location nearby and doing our engagement shoot there. Even though that left us with less time, she knew the location well and was very efficient. My husband and I both felt very comfortable with her. The wedding pictures are absolutely gorgeous, and I was delighted that she was able to get our sneak peek to us right away, while we were still on our honeymoon. Even my mom, who never likes pictures of herself, liked Lauren's pictures of her. Lauren also calmed me down when I had a frantic pre-wedding phone call worried that we'd never get through all of the photos our parents had requested in time for our reception, and she really did make the most of our cocktail hour. She's also very game to try new things and got a great silly picture of us in the History Center's playhouse, which we requested and which is one of my favorites. I did not find Lauren or her assistant to be intrusive in any way during the wedding. My husband, however, was unhappy that her assistant was in the aisle to get a picture of him as he walked down. That was his only complaint however, and I don't have any complaints at all. Years from now, no one will remember that, but we will still be enjoying these beautiful pictures.

There are not enough words to describe how amazing Lauren is! I met her at an open house for one of the venues I was looking at. I’m a shy person at first but I immediately opened up and had one of the longest conversations ever with her. She made me feel like her best friend within the first 5 minutes of knowing her. My now husband was shocked when he heard me talk about her and how I was the one who approached her instead of the other way around. He knew right then she was who I wanted and didn’t question it. Her work is absolutely amazing and how comfortable she made me feel was even better! I definitely wanted a photographer who shared the same vision as me and made me comfortable. She was perfect! The day of my wedding her and her crew made my day perfect! They were laughing and joking with everyone making the photos more relaxed and real. Not to mention they helped me out a ton and took so much stress off of me. She is definitely someone I adore and will refer her a million times over! Don’t question it, if you gut tells you to go with her, DO IT! You won’t regret it!

When I first met Lauren, I felt I had already known her. I looked at her photos at an open house my venue was hosting and instantly fell in love with her work. My now husband is one of those that has to everything on a spread sheet and I am more of a free spirit (which is why he is my match) Lauren reached out to me after the open house and asked if I had any questions and I told her my husband had some. She then offered to meet us at a Starbucks anytime or day we wanted to show us more of her work and answer any questions. Instantly after my husband met her he seemed to not have so many questions and understood what captivated me by her photos! After one coffee and laughs later we realized we had went to the same high school in different years, such a small world. Fast forward to our engagement photos.. we chose the hottest day in Athens, GA (where we met) well it was set to rain.. Lauren was sending me updates on weather, cool photo ideas if it did rain, advised me to download accuweather for more accurate weather. She was beyond kind, and our engagement photos are some of my favorite that we have. I could go on and on about my pictures and Lauren but her photos speak for themselves, and I couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer. Lauren even calmed my nerves at my rehearsal dinner, and wedding day.. I truly felt like she was a friend, and now is! Look no further, if you want someone who his not only good at photography but is a genuine soul <3

As soon as I met Lauren, I knew I had found the perfect person so capture my wedding. She's authentic, talented, funny, and thoughtful. Talking with her was effortless, it was like talking to someone I've known for years! We chatted about life and love, exchanged baby / puppy photos, talked aesthetic, talked about vibes - mostly enjoyed each other's company! I was completely at ease - I knew she would capture the day perfectly, and boy, was I right! Lauren really is an artist - I got my teaser pictures back SO QUICKLY after the wedding I couldn't believe it (we were on the honeymoon and I SCREAMED because I was so excited). The day of, Lauren and her assistant made taking pictures feel natural and un-intrusive - we're all just hanging out! Portraits were a breeze, and not awkward at all - and turned out MAGICAL (she even brought the antsy bride some champs)! I would recommend Lauren 100x over, and have! She is the best of the best. Also, we got the CUTEST picture stand with several pictures printed out in the mail when we were back from our honeymoon - one of my favorite things ever.

Choosing Lauren was a no brainer for me. I have had a few friends have her as their photographer and her entire portfolio is stunning. Even when I was a bridesmaid those pervious times, she made me feel so comfortable and happy, I knew she would be the photographer for my big day. She made the entire experience easy and provided so many creative and beautiful ideas for photos that elevated the entire event. We had an out of state wedding and we had photos of the rehearsal, engagement, and the wedding. Lauren and Aubrey brought such a wonderful energy to our weekend and actually made us feel like we weren’t awkwardly standing in front of the camera. All we felt was love and connection. It made for beautiful pictures and fond memories of the process. We laughed, served romance, got adventurous (we jumped into questionable canoe and it was awesome), and felt like superstars. She observed all of the little details and anticipated all our needs even when I had no idea what I wanted sometimes. Most of all she captured all the moments that were - and would become - so important to me after all was said and done. I cherish this person not only as my photographer but now as a new friend. She is absolutely spectacular!

Lauren is absolutely incredible to work with! She shot our engagement and wedding and was a wonderful presence to have around. Not only is she talented, she’s funny and so down to earth while still being very professional. We loved Lauren and her photos and would highly recommend her services!

Lauren and her assistant are absolutely amazing! She did our wedding photos and my husband and I are thrilled with every single one of them! She is such a joy to work with and she really knows how to handle even the most stressful situations. Highly recommend her :)

Five stars will NEVER be enough. Lauren and her assistants are so AMAZING!!! The pictures they captured were beyond amazing and beautiful. I had a sneak peak of the pictures within a week. Lauren and her team captured memories that will last a lifetime. Giving them five stars will never be enough. Thank you so much Lauren

Lauren is such a joy to work with and her pictures are AMAZING. She has an eye for lighting and catching sweet moments. Her and Aubrey really went above and beyond to travel to NC to take our engagement pictures. The shoot was easy and so much fun! I am so glad we followed Lauren's gut about locations for the pictures, she was spot on! She has a super fast turn around time as well. We can't wait for the wedding!

Couldn't be happier with our anniversary photos. The best in the south east for sure! I recommend her work at every given opportunity.

Lauren has an impeccable eye for capturing happiness in it's raw form. Couldn't have asked for a better set of photographs to celebrate our anniversary. I recommend her at any given opportunity.

Lauren is the best in Atlanta! She did anniversary photos for me and my husband in NYC! She has an eye for capturing just the right moments!

You HAVE to go with Lauren and her team for your wedding photographer! Their work is amazing, and they bring such a fun yet relaxed atmosphere when capturing your most memorable moments. Without a doubt, I would go with Lauren and team again in a heartbeat. I can't imagine my wedding without them!

My engagement and wedding pictures are hands-down, my favorite things on the planet. Lauren Rae captures love and life like no other. She is truly, the best!

Lauren is such a great photographer to work with! I have used her for two sessions now and find her to be very professional yet personable. She is the perfect balance between structure and 'going with the flow.' She had great suggestions and the photo sessions were extremely efficient. During our engagement session, my fiance and I actually had a lot of fun. It felt a lot easier than I thought it was going to be and the pictures turned out amazing!

Absolutely love! Lauren and her team photographed our wedding perfectly and the pictures are stunning! I couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer! She was able to capture everything we envisioned and so much more!

I knew I wanted Lauren to be our photographer the moment that I met her. She is the best. Period! She made us feel comfortable from the very first photo and throughout the entire wedding. I am so glad I went with my gut and chose Lauren Rae! She and Chelsea were SO fun to have at our wedding, and I am completely obsessed with all of the photos. They captured everything we wanted and then some. Rest assured, you are in excellent hands with Lauren Rae and her team!!

I don't really have worlds to describe how amazing Lauren and her team were for both my wedding and engagement. But I can say this, she traveled to Asheville to follow my girlfriend and I around the Biltmore to capture my proposal without my girlfriends knowledge. She captured it perfectly so she was the obvious choice for our wedding which she also captured perfectly. She is a delight to work with and isn't timid about getting the perfect shot. I've recommended her to all of my friends!

Absolutely none of the drama that one hears about concerning wedding photography. A very professional team that took amazing photos while not being a focal point during the event. Lauren was able to take care of any concerns on the spot or during pre and post wedding contact. My beautiful bride is looking for reasons to hire Lauren once again. Babies?!?!

Five stars from beginning to end. Lauren photographed our wedding this summer. She was courteous and professional throughout the process. Her ideas, vision, and talent are second to none. I would always recommend her to anyone who is choosing a wedding photographer, or even for engagement photos, family portraits, anything. Thank you Lauren!

Lauren is incredibly talented, thoughtful and patient with her work. From capturing our dreamy engagement to photographing our wedding and producing the most magical photos ever, Lauren takes great pride in her work and it shows. I continuously look back on our photos in awe!

Lauren and her team have such an amazing talent for capturing great 'moments’ which is exactly what you want on your wedding day or any important day. It’s not the formal photos that remind you how great your day was – it’s the natural fun and excitement that is so important to be documented. Lauren's ability not to miss a moment is truly incredible, and her energy and passion comes across in the photos they capture. She is able to blend in so well that your guests and you and your bride or groom literally will not realise they’re being photographed. We could not recommend Lauren Rae more! They are so fly they never land!

Lauren did such a fabulous job in all of the photos taken for our daughter's wedding day! She truly captures the moment of their love! Lauren is friendly, professional, and affordable!This is obviously Lauren's passion in life and her photos demonstrate that. I would highly recommend everyone contact Lauren Rae Photography for a consultation and you'll feel the same way! THANK YOU LAUREN!

Lauren photographed our wedding this summer as well as took our engagement photos and we loved her work! And Lauren herself was very professional throughout. We couldn't have been happier with our choice of her capturing our amazing memories!

What an amazing experience we had with Lauren Rae Photography!!! From day one I knew that Lauren and team was someone that I wanted to have be apart of our special day, all the moments leading up to that and many many more occasions throughout the rest of our life! Lauren is the perfect combination of a photography genius and professional all while having the best time ever you could ask for! I could not have imagined our special day without her! She made sure that we got exactly what we wanted while adding in some of the most amazing shots of her own! Her and her team make sure that you and your significant other get the very best version of you in your pictures! We can't wait to work with Lauren for many many more years!!!

Lauren is AMAZING. We literallty could not have chosen a better lady to document our day. She and her staff are so talented and wonderful to work with.

Lauren, was so wonderful to work with. My fiancé Tom and I had a great time during our engagement photo shoot! She made us feel relaxed and gave us just enough direction to get the perfect mix of posed and spontaneous pictures. Our pictures turned out better than we ever could have imagined, and she turned them around in less than a week from our session. Thanks again to Lauren; we definitely hope to have her shoot a session for us again in the future!

Lauren and her team did an amazing job as our wedding photographer. From our first meeting all the way through the delivery of images, they went above and beyond. I could not have asked for a better photographers to capture our engagement photos and wedding day. They made us feel overly comfortable and allowed us to enjoy the day, as well as helped make sure we had all the images we were looking for to capture everything!

Lauren Rae photography shot our wedding and they are images I cherish! She captured our special day so wonderfully and took the time to ask me what specific images I wanted to have. So sweet, genuine, and a joy to work with!

I just don't know where to start but Lauren is amazing!!! From our engagement shoot to the last shot at our wedding!! Lauren shot my sister's wedding two years ago, and we loved her. When I got engaged last year there were few things I knew I wanted for my wedding, but I knew I had to have her as my photographer. She makes you feel so special, and for someone like me who hasn't had any photography sessions as an adult she made me feel so at ease. On my wedding day Lauren and her assistance Chelsea did an amazing job. She truly feels like family to us, and she treats is the same way. I cannot say enough nice things about her, her professionalism and her work. It speaks for itself. She's the best!!

Lauren, Aubrey, and their team are amazing. My husband and I got married April 2014 and Lauren shot our big day. From the planning to the actual big day everything was amazing. Lauren is so friendly, funny and really listens to what you would like when it comes to your photos. Our pictures came out amazing and I have passed along her information to so many friends!! We welcomed a new baby boy in October 2016 and I knew who I was going to contact for his newborn photos- Lauren of course!! There are no words for her work and the incredible touch she has!! I know I will be using Lauren for shoots in the future!! Go with Lauren and her team--you won't be sorry!!

Thank you so much Lauren Rae Hatch, (Lauren Rae Photography) and her team for doing such an amazing job with our wedding photos. They captured our wedding day beautifully and we are so grateful. -My husband and I couldn't be happier!! Youguys stepped in and did even more than just photography. Went above and beyond to help support, wrangle everyone together for photos and even helped assist when the planner managed to disappear during cake cutting! :/ We seriously couldn't have done it without you. Every detail from getting ready, to the ceremony, to every detail about the reception was captured. It is awesome to be able to look back and remember every element about our wedding. We will be forever grateful to have those memories to look back at. THANK YOU!!

I cannot recommend Lauren enough. She was a dream to work with - handled our wedding day, both the joys and the stresses, with much grace. Was so organized and had a great rapport with my daughter and son in law. And the photos... well, we are still viewing them over and over! There are just too many good ones! She truly captured our special day and gave us memories to keep for a lifetime.

I don't know where to start!! Lauren is absolutely the best. She was a referral from one of my really good friends who had her photograph her engagement/ wedding. She is even doing my sisters wedding in January! I have done engagement, boudoir, and wedding photos with her and they are absolutely amazing. She is always available if you have questions and really wants you to enjoy the process of your engagement and wedding photos. Her style and expertise of her photos is one of a kind. Her photographs really capture the emotions of each setting. Plus, her sweet and easy going personality makes her so wonderful to work with! I can't thank her enough for everything she did!!

Lauren and Aubrey worked so hard to make our wedding day fabulous. We felt so comfortable after our engagement session with Lauren because she is the perfect mix of directive, sensitive, and hilarious. She made us feel confident and our pictures show it! We were free to be ourselves and have so much fun on our wedding day with Lauren and Aubrey. They were open to all of our ideas and had so many amazing ones of their own. Lauren is very organized and I didn't have to worry that they would miss any special moments. We knew they were good, but were still blown away when we got our edited photos back. Guests described our wedding as "sweet" and that's exactly what Lauren and Aubrey captured. I cannot stop looking at our photos and am beyond thrilled with the service and quality we received. I would recommend Lauren Rae Photography to anyone and am honored to say that not only did we get to spend two fun filled days capturing our love on film with Lauren and Aubrey, but we also came away from this with two friendships. We felt more like family than clients. Thanks so much Lauren and Aubrey!!

As the daughter of a photographer, I had high expectations for my wedding photographer! I wanted amazing photos at a reasonable price and found exactly that with Lauren Hatch of Lauren Rae Photography. Lauren is so warm and friendly and my husband and I immediately connected with her when we first met. She shot our engagement photos and we loved every single one! Lauren is wonderful about capturing the emotion of the day in every picture. She and her second shooter had our bridal party laughing and comfortable all day long. We received our pictures quickly and LOVE them. I cannot recommend Lauren enough for your photography needs!!!
