What sets me apart is emotion, it's my favorite part about photography. It's the way two people look at each other after a laugh; the moments in between are the ones worth remembering. It's your day, let me cover all the details.
CANDID VS POSED: I understand that many moments happen naturally, and that many don't. I know exactly when to let the candid's unfold and when to jump in and fix a pose.
And we'll have tons of fun!

Lauren was amazing for our shoot! She is professional and gives clear directions, but at the same time made the experience feel casual and fun. She helped us forget we were even in...
front of a camera in the first place with her easygoing and enthusiastic attitude! She has a fantastic eye and I would absolutely recommend her to others.
OH MY GOSH!! We hired Lauren as our Wedding photographer and decided to go with an engagement shoot to get to know her before our big day and she is an ANGEL! So fun to work with, ...
so sweet and very quick to respond! Got our gallery back to us in literally 5 days! Cannot say enough good things about her and can’t wait for our wedding day with her!!
We just got our engagement photos done and Based off the experience alone, Lauren was amazing! She was amazing at communication and timing and she made the shoot so much fun! We ar...
e not picture people but she made us feel so playful and comfortable. Lauren made sure we got every shot we wanted and really tailored the experience to us. I’ll update the review once we get our pictures but I am so happy with our experience!
Such a talented photographer, she goes out of her way to capture the best moments with the best views. Very hard working and I loved seeing how much fun she was having too! On top ...
of this, she is great with communication. Definitely recommend Lauren and would do it again!
We had a great experience hiring Lauren Wylie Photography
Ok where do I begin? Honestly choosing Lauren to be our photographer was in the top 3 best decisions throughout the wedding planning process. She is a true artist but also so incre...
dibly organized I couldn’t be more grateful that we were fortunate enough to work with her. I felt her genuine excitement and love on our wedding day. She captured amazing details and put so much care and thought into every shot. She is kind but also assertive which is so necessary when it comes to wrangling the troops for the group shots on the day of the wedding. I could go on and on about her professionalism on that day. But she really outdid herself after the big day by working tirelessly on the most amazing preview of photos we received just days later while on our honeymoon. I can’t say enough about her, only that I’m sad it’s over!
I very highly recommend her photography services! I must have looked at over 20 photographers for my engagement proposal. Not only are her prices equal to her value, her services a...
nd professionalism far exceed my expectations. She helped in finding the right timing to propose and get myself on one knee and for that simple fact I am thankful!!..trust me you will not find a better one out there! I searched for weeks and contacted many before I found the right one!!
Lauren is hands down the best of the best! We planned a destination wedding Breckenridge, CO and we were so happy to have her with us on our special day. From the very first commun...
ication to the wedding day and even after with the photo album her professionalism and expertise continues to amaze us. She even went to the venue location and sent us pictures before we were able to visit it for ourselves. If you are considering booking, I would highly recommend her to anyone!! Thanks again Lauren, we loved working with you.
We just got our engagement photos back from our shoot and we are both so beyond happy with how they turned out. Can't wait for the wedding.
We had a FANTASTIC experience with Lauren! My wife and I contacted her on short notice for a maternity shoot in Lahaina and we couldn’t be happier with the results.
Lauren was in...
credibly responsive, which really helped to ease the stress of planning a last-minute shoot from the mainland. She was also a blast to work with on site! We quickly realized that my wife and I hadn't thought too much about particular poses or types of shots that we were looking for, but no matter - Lauren expertly took charge and came up with some great ideas for compositions that worked out beautifully on film. It was also a very low-stress shoot, which is exactly what we were looking for.
We also really appreciated Lauren's flexibility. Not only did she come up with creative shots for us, but she indulged us as we traveled to multiple locations around Lahaina and even stayed beyond our scheduled shoot time to get a few last sunset pictures. (We're particularly grateful for that, since those turned out to be some of our favorite pictures.)
Finally, the pictures themselves were great! The turnaround time was quick and the price was very reasonable, especially considering the number of images that we received. We’ve used several professional photographers (engagement, wedding, etc.) and never had as much fun as when working with Lauren. She has an incredible eye and the photos really seemed to capture the connection between my wife and I. I would recommend her wholeheartedly.
Thanks, Lauren! You really helped make it a trip to remember.
I hired Lauren to take pictures of my family. There are 16 of us and she handled our large group amazingly. She was professional, personable, polite and so energetic! We had so ...
much fun with her and then we received amazing pictures that captured our family's personality perfectly. I would recommend her to anyone.
I am so glad I chose Lauren for our engagement photography. The photos she helped create were simple, soft, and perfectly conveyed our relationship. She knew exactly how to make my...
shy fiance comfortable in front of the camera to get the perfect sunset shot that we used for our save the date. Lauren was such a charming and kind guide; she gave us tips for where to go on Maui for the rest of our vacation.
My fiancè and I hired Lauren to take some engagement photos while we were in Maui. She recommended several great locations to choose from, all of which were gorgeous. She was frien...
dly, creative, and made the whole experience so much fun. When we received the finished photos we were blown away. If you need photos in Hawaii I'd recommend going to Lauren.
We contacted Lauren for my mom's 75th birthday extended family photoshoot in Maui. She was prompt with her responses, quoted a fair price so we booked her. She took pictures fo...
r all 13 of us and did wonderful. We had 4 kids under 6 years old so it was no easy feat. Lauren was prompt and on time, responsive the day before regarding confirming time and place, and directed our family with different photo poses and group shots. She even made my 3 year old son smile in the pictures which made for a much better shoot.
We would definitely use her again and have already recommended her to our friends who are visiting Maui.
Thanks again Lauren!!
We went to Maui on a vacation, and thought it would be fun to have some professional photos taken in such a gorgeous location. Lauren seemed to know the island well and recommende...
d a great spot for the shoot, and I could not be happier with the way the photos turned out! Additionally, she was easy to work, extremely pleasant, and fun to be around! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for professional photos.
We contacted Lauren to do our engagement photos on island (we're locals) and my fiance and I are SO happy with our experience and our photos.
The minute we talked to Lauren, she h...
elped us get organized with what kind of engagement photos we wanted. She helped me with outfit ideas (which was a godsend) and helped us brainstorm island locations based on the theme we were going for (integrated with nature and relaxed).
DURING the shoot, Lauren helped us feel comfortable and cued us exactly what to do. We both felt a little awkward in front of the camera but her lighthearted demeanor and attitude was a testament to her experience and the photos turned out SO special. Not only that, but we brought our dog and she was totally understanding and flexible and even helped position the pup into our shoot as well.
I can't say enough. She was a joy to work with and she really knows the island and the locations for the best lighting. Our photos don't look like all the other ones I've seen and that means so much to us. Thank you Lauren!
Lauren took our (surprise) engagement photos at the Hotel Wailea on Valentine's Day 2018. She was incredible!! So easy and fun to work with and took absolutely gorgeous photos. She...
captured our personalities and our happiness perfectly. So excited to have beautiful photos from such a memorable moment. Cannot recommend Lauren more highly!!
Lauren photgraphed our 19 year wedding vow renewal in Maui and did a fantastic job! I posted some of the pics on my facebook page and you should read all the positive comments! We...
were really pleased with her professionalism and positive interactions via emails and texts before we met and then when we met her for the photo shoot, she had an excellent way of making us feel comfortable, at ease, natural. She listened to what we wanted as far as style and delivered. My daughter really wanted me to wear my wedding dress from 19 years ago and I was hesitant, getting cold feet an hour before shoot. I texted Lauren and she convinced me that I should, so I did...I'm glad she encouraged me as the dress looked timeless in the photos! Overall, Lauren was down to earth, willing to work with our budget, professional, a nice person, and very good at what she does! We highly recommend using Lauren Wylie for your beach wedding or vow renewal photography! Can't say enough great things about this young, budding photographer!
I'm generally shy in front of a camera, and usually try to avoid getting my picture taken. I did a lot of research into who we'd hire to do our engagement shots. I couldn't be happ...
ier I found Lauren! She made us laugh and made us, especially me, feel at ease during the shoot, so our pictures turned out natural and candid. I honestly can't recommend her enough. If you're looking for someone organized, personable, talented and incredibly creative, look no further!
Lauren is the most talented photographer I know. I don't know how she does it, but she has a way of capturing those split second expressions of true emotion and love. Her portrait...
s are intimate and captivating and always flattering because she is honest about what looks good and finds everyone's best angles. Every photo Lauren has taken of me receives endless praise from my friends and family.
I have seen this woman work in hectic conditions under lots of pressure and she handles it all. She is professional, organized, a good communicator, and a genius photographer. Do not pass her up!
