Lauren was an absolute dream to work with. She was so efficient with time on the big day! She was open to all ideas and even got me out of my comfort zone! I wanted timeless and el...
egant photos and she delivered that perfectly! She made everyone so comfortable and at ease! I have never worked with someone so professional yet so fun! Pricing was spot on for the quality of service she provides! We will 100% recommend Lauren to any couple!
Lauren is raising the standard for wedding photographers! From the moment she books your date, Lauren becomes your hype girl. She spoils her clients throughout their engagement and...
wedding day, and her work is no short of a labor of love. Lauren was organized, creative, collaborative, and she truly brought so much energy to our wedding day! It felt like we hired a friend to be our photographer, rather than a vendor. She provides the best wedding package for her couples, and we are SO grateful to have images that are stunningly beautiful to remember our wedding day.
I couldn't not recommend Lauren more!!! Our gallery looks amazing from our wedding and I knew it would because we were obsessed with our engagement session gallery. I met Lauren wh...
ile she was photographing another wedding I was in and very quickly knew I wanted to hire her for my own wedding. She guided us through photo sessions so easily, listened to exactly what we wanted and anything we asked for she said "Love that. I'm so down". My fiancé was very anxious going into our engagement session because he didn't know what it would be like or what to do with his hands. Immediately he thought Lauren was awesome and made him feel so comfortable. We cannot wait to book Lauren for any of our future photographs!! She also has such a calm demeanor and I loved that on my wedding day because it is such a chaotic day.
Working with Lauren leading up to our wedding day and the weeks following was absolutely amazing. She was so organized, helpful and easy to talk to, made every experience so easy a...
nd helped keep the wedding day running smoothly. Even after we received our pictures she was quick to help when we needed some edits or even a release when a photo shop asked for one she answered right away. I can’t wait for the chance to work with her again or recommend her to whoever asks!
I cannot recommend Lauren enough, she was absolutely amazing to work with. From the beginning-so quick to respond, so kind, so genuine, and so extremely talented. For two people wh...
o are admittedly camera shy, Lauren gave us such great direction during our engagement shoot that we felt confident/carefree during our wedding. She was easy to communicate with, made us feel like we were top of mind and a priority all through the process, and offered several great suggestions during planning. She clearly loves her job and made it stress free for us. Additionally, we had 250 guests at our wedding and felt like she did an incredible job capturing all aspects of the wedding & our guests. We look forward to working with her for all pictures in the future!!
Lauren is absolutely phenomenal. The wedding planning process is extremely daunting, but Lauren made the photography process so easy. From the start, she went above and beyond to m...

captures the special moments and Lauren does just that and more! Not only does she take AMAZING photos, she literally kept my entire day organized. She made my wedding timeline for me, stayed in constant communication with me during the entire wedding process, was my hype girl, always made sure I was posed the right way or my hair was in the right spot, and truly felt like my friend! Lauren is so easy-going and amazing to work with. I am so thankful for her and I will 100% always choose Lauren for any professional pictures I need in the future! Highly highly highly recommend!
5 stars just isn't enough for Lauren... she truly deserves endless stars for her amazing work and bright/friendly personality! I first met Lauren when she shot my sister's wedding,...
and knew very quickly that I wouldn't have anyone else shoot my own wedding a few years later. Lauren is kind, bright, funny, and generous. She is the utmost professional, is flexible and thorough, and goes above and beyond to create a fun, relaxed, personal vibe on your big day. Beyond just being an all around great person to be around, her work is beyond compare! She truly captures the joy from your wedding day. I was blown away looking at each picture in the gallery! They are all breathtaking, and I am endlessly grateful to her talents for capturing all the happiness and all the details- big and small- on the best day of my life.
Booking Lauren was the best decision I made for my wedding, and I genuinely cannot recommend her highly enough! Endless thanks to Lauren for giving me photos and memories that will truly last a lifetime!
Picking Lauren as our wedding photographer was the easiest vendor decision we made. Lauren was SO easy to work with, made our engagement session and wedding day so fun, and many pe...

I cannot say enough good things about Lauren. She is the sweetest, most professional, caring photographer out there. She really gets to know you and your spouse on a personal level...
and your pets as well! I am so happy that we chose her to do our wedding photos, she was easy to work with and listened when you had questions and was very responsive via email and text. Even my dad was amazed at how quickly she can organize and capture a photo with 40 plus people in it. I would consider her a friend as well after working with her. DO NOT hesitate to hire Lauren. She will not let you down.
If you are looking for an amazing photographer who does more than just be a photographer look no further! Lauren was the absolute best to work with. She answered all of my question...
s, worked with my vendors, has unprecedented talent, and does cute little things for her clients. She made the wedding planning process seamless, and I truly don’t think it would have gone the same way without her! She is sweet, knowledgable, so talented, and extremely helpful. You will not be disappointed in choosing Lauren; I mean all of her amazing reviews speak volume about her! Thank you for being the absolute best!

s. Having her as a big part of our day, I knew our day would go smoothly. On the day of she helped me get dressed, showed me poses to do, fixed my hair, and consistently told me to lower my bouquet. She captured our love and how happy we are so perfectly. Our photo gallery came back so quick and we are obsessed with all of them!
Choosing a photographer is one of the most important decisions on your wedding day. The pictures are what you share with others, hang in your home, and look back at to relive the b...
est day ever. I will be forever grateful that we chose Lauren as our photographer. She was talented, knowledgeable, and made everything so comfortable throughout our wedding day. Lauren is incredibly thoughtful. She truly cares about the couples she photographs. She sent us a Christmas card and even cookies for our dog. My bridesmaids were so impressed with how easily it was to take pictures, and I cannot recommend her enough for any bride who wants to feel stress-free, and taken care of on their wedding day. Not to mention how incredible the photos turned out!! It was truly magical, and Lauren played a huge role in that!
We can’t say enough wonderful things about Lauren! She really was such an integral part of not only our wedding day, but the whole planning process. We didn’t hire a planner or a c...
oordinator and we still had the most seamless day thanks in large part to Lauren’s organization and help with timelines. In addition to that, she was somehow able to make 2 very camera shy people look and feel so natural in front of her camera. We now have the most amazing photos to remember the most amazing day. She made us feel so special and captured all of the sweet moments. I know we will cherish the pictures and memories forever. Although we did not know Lauren personally before working with her for our engagement photos and then wedding photos, it truly felt like we were working with a close and trusted friend the whole way through. The only downside is that we only get one wedding to hire her for!
Lauren is the BEST! You will not regret having her photograph your big day. From beginning to end Lauren was great. She answered all of our questions and was quick to respond! Alth...
ough we had not met her before our wedding day, it definitely didn’t feel like that was the case. She made us feel totally comfortable in front of the camera. We had so much fun with her! Our photos are beautiful and captured us and our day so perfectly. We could not recommend Lauren enough!
Lauren is so sweet and she captured our elopement beautifully. She was very easy to deal with and responded quickly. We loved our pictures and would definitely recommend her!

at energy and talent, our wedding photos look amazing. We are so grateful that Lauren was a part of our day!
There are not enough words to say how Lauren T Photography provided the most enjoyable wedding photo experience I could have asked for! A few weeks before the wedding, Lauren sent ...
out a more detailed questionnaire. This included questions about the precise people we wanted to be photographed before the ceremony, as well as the places and locations where we wanted the pictures taken. As soon as she got all this information, she created a photo timeline, which was amazing and really helped to take the pressure off for the big day. Lauren also stuck to that list of pictures we had given her but also regularly checked in with us to make sure nothing was missed or wanted. In addition, she helped us set up for the wedding when we arrived, which she did not have to do, and we greatly appreciate it! We enjoyed working with her from start to finish and would recommend her without a second thought. I look forward to doing business with her again in the future.
Lauren has been nothing short of amazing! From the time we booked Lauren, we knew she was the right fit for us! As much as we don’t like to have our pictures taken, she made the en...
tire process so stress free and feel so normal! After leaving our engagement session, we could not believe how comfortable she made us feel and how much we laughed! She took the time out to get to know us and know what was important to us. Lauren was very responsive to everything leading up to the wedding, and made my planning so much easier by providing such a detailed timeline. On the wedding day, Lauren made sure she captured everything I had wanted and so much more! Not only is Lauren a phenomenal photographer, she provided us with multiple sneak peeks and had our entire wedding album done in just a few weeks! She is by far the best and we are so thankful to have had her capture our day!!
Could not recommend Lauren enough!!! From the very beginning of the process, even before we booked her, she was attentive, professional, encouraging, and friendly. We felt like sh...
e was genuinely excited for us which made us even more excited! For our engagement session she already had locations scouted out and knew exactly what she wanted to capture. She was so fun and encouraging during our shoot - my husband and I are not big "look at me" people, but Lauren's approach made us feel so comfortable and helped us enjoy the day even more. Leading up to the wedding Lauren was always in contact and was happy to answer any questions I had. In my typical fashion I came up with a few last-minute ideas and she was completely honest and supportive about what would be best or what might not work the way we thought it would - which I really appreciated! On our wedding day Lauren and her partner were on time, dressed appropriately, and were completely prepared! They went over a few things with me without overwhelming me and they got straight to work capturing details for the day. I had let her know that there was a park we wanted to take photos in after the ceremony, and she had already found a place there that had a variety of backgrounds/scenery that let us get a ton of different photos in a relatively short amount of time. During our family photos in the church Lauren and her partner made sure we stayed on time, everyone was ready, and that each photo was staged appropriately. I couldn't believe how well this part went! Even for the photos for just my husband and I she gave us a variety of prompts, poses, and ideas and the photos turned out even better than we imagined. Overall, Lauren was and is an excellent photographer and captured all the moments we wanted to remember, made us feel comfortable and excited about our day, and was just fantastic! I would recommend her to anyone! THANK YOU Lauren!!!
Lauren T Photography provided the best wedding photo experience, and definitely exceeded my expectations/hopes for how the photos would turn out! She provided so much more than jus...
t wedding day photos. Her process started with asking us some basic info about our relationship, our likes and dislikes, and what we were hoping to get out of the engagement and wedding photos. She also sent us a helpful, in-depth manual that explained her philosophy and process, and it gave some tips for how to make the most out of our photo sessions (it also included really helpful tips on what to wear! I had no idea what made a good photo outfit and what made a bad one). When we met up for our engagement photos, Lauren did a great job of directing where/when she needed to, but also allowing us to be really natural with each other and in our posing. I asked Lauren bluntly what happened if the engagement photos came back and I didnt like any. She answered very honestly and said that would probably mean she wasn’t the right wedding photographer for us and we probably needed to find a photographer with a different style. I really appreciated her honesty in that response. Even more, I appreciated the photos - they were really beautiful! My fiancé and I looked like ourselves but she captured great moments of love and happiness between us. It was awesome!
As the wedding approached, Lauren sent out a more detailed questionnaire that included questions about exact people we wanted pictures of before the ceremony, the combinations of family members, places and locations we were excited about for backdrops, etc. It was really helpful because it forced us to organize our thoughts and wrangle our family members to figure out our wedding day timeline. And Lauren really stuck to that list of pictures - we got every important family photo and friend photo that was important to us before the ceremony and rowdy portion of the day began. She checked in with us frequently to make sure we hadn’t missed anything, and to make sure we got the shots we wanted.
During the wedding ceremony, Lauren was almost invisible to my husband and I. I didn’t notice her at all during the ceremony, but she got the most beautiful shots! She did such a good job of keeping her distance and staying in the background but still capturing the best moments. During the reception, she was somehow always there the minute I was with a group of people who wanted a picture together, but she also mingled and got hilarious and fun shots of our guests.
One of the greatest surprises was the day after our wedding, we got a text to say that a “sneak peak” of photos was already available for us to see. The sneak peak was much more than a peak! There were already so many beautiful shots we got to share with our family members right away. Then it only took two weeks for Lauren to review, edit, and send us our full gallery. Her regular timeline gave her longer but she sent us everything early, which was a nice bonus for us and our family members who were hoping for Christmas card photos.
Ultimately, Lauren was incredibly professional from a business perspective, and incredibly talented from an artistic perspective. It’s pretty hard to be good at both of those, but Lauren has it down to a science and an art form. We loved working with her from start to finish and we would recommend her without hesitation for any photography needs!
As soon as we got engaged, Lauren was the first vendor I reached out to, I had been eyeballing her pictures for a few years. There just aren’t enough words to possibly describe how...
amazing each and every photo that Lauren snaps is. She has a magical way of finding the perfect angle, lighting and of course expressions. Not only did she capture our day perfect, she helped with every little detail and had an answer for every question I had. When rain popped up in the forecast the day before our wedding and it was too late to order umbrellas, Lauren saved the day with some umbrellas that she keeps on her. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, Lauren is simply the best!
Choosing Lauren as our photographer was the best wedding decision we made. From the minute we booked, she was proactive, quick to respond to our questions, and so thoughtful. The t...
imelines she sent were super helpful as we organized everything for our day. Lauren was fun and efficient organizing our huge wedding party for pictures and the pictures were dreamy. They felt straight out of a fairy tale! Lauren checked with me several times to make sure we were getting the shots I wanted. She sent several sneak peeks the next morning and we got all of our pictures back well before the deadline in our contract. I could not recommend Lauren more. Thank you so much, Lauren, for capturing our very favorite day in the most beautiful way!
From when we first reached out to Lauren to our wedding and beyond she was so extremely helpful and kind. She has such a gift and we could not of been more pleased with our engagem...

Lauren is seriously so amazing! She did our engagement pictures and wedding pictures and was so fun to work with throughout it all. She was so organized and timely in her communica...
tion with us. We had sneak peeks right away and our full gallery just a couple weeks after that! She was also so patient with my husband who isn't the biggest fan of getting his picture taken, she was able to make it fun and enjoyable for him! I loved the way she captured everything so perfectly. I will definitely be using Lauren to help us capture future life events!
We hired Lauren for our wedding last year when got engaged. She did both our engagement photos and our wedding. I can’t say enough good things about her. She was so easy to communi...
cate with and super professional! Our wedding day- she followed our lead, but also kept us on track for the day. Everything went so smoothly it was almost scary! We just got our pictures back from our wedding and all I can say is wow. Her style of pictures has been so heavily complimented by all of our family and friends from the pictures they have seen as well! I would pick Lauren over and over. Worth every single penny!
My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Lauren! We did our engagement photo session with her and knew from that we wanted to use her for our wedding. Both engagement a...
nd wedding photos turned out AMAZING!! She listens to what you ask her for and is so intentional with the way she goes about working with you- she is super professional and also super fun! I remember feeling so awkward in front of the camera and Lauren is super good at directing you and making you feel at ease. We love Lauren!!

ake wedding pics bc she did such a great job with her timeline and got everything we needed!! All of our pics turned out beyond what we could hope for! I have no idea how we can narrow it down to frame some because they are all perfect!! She is so personable and makes the process so easy and less stressful!
Omg omg 🥰. I’m obsessed with my pictures from Lauren! She was amazing during our engagement pictures and so engaging on our wedding day! She met with us before both to understand ...
us a little better and I felt like a friend was experiencing the time with us not a stranger taking our picture. Also my wedding was 4.23.2021 and I JUST GOT GALLERY. NOT EVEN TWO WEEKS AFTER! I have friends that are STILL waiting for their pictures and they got married 2-4 months ago. I’ve been staring in awe of these pictures since I’ve seen them. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
Lauren was the absolute best. She was recommended to me by a good friend & I actually got to meet her while she was shooting that wedding. I loved the way my friends photos turned ...
out and was super happy that I had her booked for my wedding as well. The day of I didn’t know what to expect because I had no wedding coordinator. This was one of my biggest worries going into the day, but Lauren did such an amazing job, rounding everyone up for photos and keeping me on track so the timeline (that she even put together!) was executed perfectly. Whenever she saw my wedding guest taking photos on their cellphones, she popped in to capture it on her end as well. Everything about the day was perfect and it had a lot to do with how helpful Lauren was and how comfortable she made me feel. 120% recommend her for any event, but especially weddings!
I COULD NOT ASK FOR SOMEONE BETTER!!! Our engagement photos had to be moved SO many times due to COVID-19 and Lauren was more than willing to help us and made us feel so extremely ...
comfortable in every aspect of the shoot - she even brought my husbands favorite beer!! Lauren made our wedding wonderful. She made my husband and I at ease throughout the day. She understood exactly where we wanted photos, how to pose us, and even gave us sneak peaks ASAP!! Our bridal party were so grateful how NICE and accommodating Lauren was (rain made us pivot locations!) she was extremely professional, answered all questions we had, and seriously does such an amazing job with communication. I cannot recommend Lauren enough!!
If you’re looking for a photographer with amazing quality work and will be with you every step of the way, book with Lauren! Lauren with her through timelines and suggestions the e...
ntire wedding planning process was a breeze. When times were becoming difficult with changing our wedding plans due to COVID Lauren did not hesitate. Lauren helped my husband and I capture our small intimate ceremony. Planning a wedding during 2020 was not easy but Lauren went above and beyond to capture our special day. Lauren has a gift for capturing the wonderful moments of people lives. I couldn’t ask for a better photographer. We can’t wait to celebrate our anniversary reception with her as our photographer! Thank you Lauren!
Lauren was the absolute greatest photographer!! Within minutes of meeting her, it felt like she was an old friend! Throughout the entire process, it felt like she wanted my wedding...
to be the best it could be! Her photos are absolutely to die for! We couldn't find a single picture that we didn't like! One of our favorite things was how natural her photos looked! We had Lauren do our engagement and wedding photos and we are already planning on using her for anything and everything we need pictures for! I can't put into words how highly I recommend Lauren! You won't be disappointed!
I’ve known Lauren for many years and got to watch her build her business from the ground up. Lauren was actually supposed to be in my wedding, but due to COVID we decided to downsi...
ze our guest list and only have our siblings (maid of honor/best man) for our bridal party this year and have a 1 year celebration with our full guest list and bridal party next year. This difficult decision was actually a blessing in disguise because that meant I knew Lauren was available to be our photographer for our small ceremony. We couldn’t have asked for a better day! Lauren truly is a great photographer, but an even better “hype man” and friend on your wedding day. I may be biased, but I know she gives each of her clients the same amount heart and soul that she puts into her work as she does her friendships. Our photographs are stunning and captured our day perfectly. We are looking forward to our 1 year celebration next year, but when we look back at the photos Lauren took those are the pictures that will bring back the same feelings as the day we got married. I could go on and on about Lauren, but in short, you can’t go wrong with her. You get more than a photographer, you get a friend for life.
Lauren was the most amazing photographer from start to finish. She gave amazing direction with our huge family and handled everything so well. I cannot say enough good things about...
her! Her lighting in photos is amazing, she is so good at making everyone feel comfortable. It felt like my good friend was shooting my wedding. She came early, stayed late, and had a smile on throughout the entire day!
I could not recommend Lauren more than any other venue we had booked for the day! She was incredible and directed everything as needed. We depended on her to get us through the day...
and make sure we were following the timeline! Her and the videographer worked so well together having never met before! She asked me continuously through the day if there were any other pics I wanted at that time, which I loved. She gave us a quick sneak peek the day after the wedding and we received our wedding pictures 2 weeks after our wedding!!! SHE IS BEYOND TALENTED! Book her!! 🧡🧡
I highly recommend Lauren, she is amazing! Not only does Lauren take a personal interest in your personality and preferences, but she also works tirelessly to build camaraderie wit...
h your other event vendors, like your videographer. Lauren brings a unique balance to the process by both actualizing your ideas and complimenting your vision with her experience and expertise. You will undoubtedly love her work product, but almost more importantly, you will love her work process: personal, encouraging, and professional. She is a miracle worker with edits and absolutely wonderful to work with! Highly highly recommend!
Due to a last minute cancellation we stumbled upon Lauren as our wedding day photographer, and we are so glad we did! She made the night so easy for us. Her photos turned out amaz...
ing. We are so thankful we had her there on our day!!!!
It’s hard to put into words how amazing Lauren is, from a quick and fun engagement shoot to our wedding day we had the best experience! Her photography is amazing and she captured ...
so many beautiful pictures for us. Aside from her skills, she is so easy to work with, makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera and was willing to help with any and all wedding questions I had!
Lauren also knows how to make her clients feel special throughout the process! I recently recommended her to my good friend and we will see Lauren and her team again this coming weekend!
My husband and I were supposed to be married March 20th. COVID hit and everything changed. On a whim, we decided to get married August 2nd. Lauren was so accommodating and flexible...
. She took GORGEOUS pictures of our small ceremony and the reception at my parents’ house. I truly can’t get over how beautiful our pictures turned out. She finds the best lighting and the pictures are so stunning. Plus, we got our pictures very quickly and even had some sneak peek pictures a day or two after the wedding. My husband and I are so happy we booked her. She’s also the nicest person and makes your wedding day stress-free. She really knows what she’s doing and is extremely professional. I would recommend her to just about anyone for any kind of pictures. 5 stars. No question.

Due to Covid we lost our photographer the week of the wedding . Heart broken I called Lauren and left a message between tears. She called back right away and put all my...
worries at ease. She was available and stepped up immediately. We didn’t get a chance to meet but she was so accommodating and when we met on my wedding day it was like we were old friends. She truly saved my day and captured the day perfectly.
My fiancé and I booked Lauren for our engagement photos. First off, the pictures turned out absolutely amazing!! She showed up early, with all of her equipment ready to go and was ...
extremely professional throughout the whole process. I do get a bit self conscious at times, so I was super nervous before arriving. Lauren made me feel like a model the entire time. She is an expert at what she does, so she was able to direct us in poses, hand placements, where to look, everything! Even though we chose the location, she already had an idea of where she wanted us to stand and pose. As soon as we arrived and got introductions out of the way, she was ready to go! The whole process ran smoothly and I am so in love with my pictures. :)
Even on just a personal level, Lauren seems like a really great person. She seems to have a very positive outlook on everything. You can just tell she genuinely enjoys what she does.
I could not have been more happy or absolutely satisfied with every aspect of Lauren’s work. From the very beginning, she was incredibly prompt and clear with all her communication...
. The day of the wedding, she honestly was such a calming force to have around to make the whole day such a fun and enjoyable time. I love that she helped cue us into taking drop dead gorgeous pictures, but also gave us some reign to let us be ourselves. Everyone who has seen our pictures certainly noted how much of our real personalities with each other really showed in all of the photos. Also, her ability to find that just perfect light is seriously spot on!
My favorite part was being able to sit down with my husband the next week while still on our honeymoon and look through the whole gallery and fall in love all over again!
I feel like our wedding day was a whirlwind event, and I know that I will forever cherish the pictures Lauren took, and also remember how thankful I was to have hired such an all around amazing photographer and person!
What can I say - Lauren is simply the best. A friend from first photo. She makes you happy, makes you laugh, and makes sure great moments are captured. We have had our engagement s...
hoot with her, and a Christmas photo shoot. All of which were INCREDIBLE! She will definitely be our photographer for life. We can’t wait for our big day so she can help capture it. Love her and her craft to pieces.
Lauren did an AMAZING job photographing our wedding. I am the least photogenic person on the planet, and saying my husband does not enjoy having his picture taken would be an under...
statement. Her directions, sweet demeanor, and serious talent somehow overcame our quirks. We ended up with so many fantastic photos that I am struggling not to cover the walls in our house. I could not have dreamed of a better experience.
Lauren was by far the best photographer I have ever worked with! I was lucky enough to have a friend use her for her wedding and saw first hand how great she was! This wonderful wo...
man even drove an hour + in a snow storm just so we would have those perfect snowy day engagement photos!! She was patient with my crazy bridal party and new just how to get that perfect laughing photo! We will for sure be using Lauren for all our family photos to come!! Highly recommend!!!
I cannot recommend Lauren enough! I knew when I started searching for a photographer that I didn't really want to go with a large company where I would be sent one of their many ph...
otographers. It just felt impersonal. So when I found Lauren's site, read her bio, and saw her beautiful photos, I thought I might be onto something. Even our first experience talking with her was just so easy - my husband and I lived out of the state at the time so we Facetimed Lauren for our first meeting and she was so sweet! She made us feel special and important from the very beginning. She worked very well with us even though we were out of state, and when it rained and was 32 degrees out on the morning we had planned to do engagement photos, she encouraged us to go ahead and take photos in the rain anyways! We had travelled 6 hours to be here, so we went for it and the photos turned out to be amazing! What could have been a really disappointing experience was turned in to such a fun and exciting one by Lauren's attitude to it all. And her sweet husband came with her to hold her umbrella while she took our photos. I knew then that we had definitely made the right choice in our photographer. Also, I highly recommend taking engagement pictures with her, it was a great time to get to know her a little better and feel more comfortable taking professional pictures before the wedding. Leading up to the wedding, Lauren was super attentive and easy to communicate with. She utilized Honeybook, which made organization super easy. Then on the wedding day, Lauren captured everything perfectly! She kept us on track throughout the day, but nothing ever felt rushed. She and her second shooter were so encouraging and fun to be around throughout the entire day even though they were on the feet essentially nonstop for 10 hours. As someone who really doesn't like having my photo taken, Lauren made it so easy. She gave gentle and straightforward instructions to put my husband and I in natural looking poses. She helped keep us laughing and comfortable too. After the wedding, Lauren posted sneak peeks in the first couple weeks and even managed to get all our photos to us early, less than a month after the wedding! I cannot express enough how sweet and hard-working Lauren is. I'm so thankful I found her for our wedding photographer, and I know we will use her again and again in the future for anniversary and family shoots!
