Lauren Zavaletta Photography

My husband and I looked EVERYWHERE for a photographer for our engagement session and wedding day. I was overjoyed to find Lauren, her style of editing and photography is what we fell in love with. Lauren is so kind and generous with her time, she eased our nerves behind the camera and took time walking us through what to expect her both our engagement session and wedding day. We would recommend her to everyone a million times over because of how amazingly talented she is. We wouldn’t have had such a perfect experience with any other photographer and we plan to continue all of our future photography session with her as well!

Lauren is an incredible photographer. She not only took time to meet with us before hand so that we all felt comfortable during the big day, but she also makes taking the pictures so sentimental. I wouldn’t have chosen anyone else to capture our wedding. The quality is stunning and she manages to be everywhere at once to capture the perfect moments.

Lauren was not only easy and professional to work with, but she was so sweet, warm, kind, and fit right in with our family and friends. But that’s not the best part. Her eye for detail and her promise to capture the love we had for one another, our children, family and friends came through beautifully in her photos. I do not have the right words to say other than, thank you Lauren for exceeding my expectations. Photography was one of our top wants for our wedding and she captured our day beautiful. I will forever be grateful for this invaluable gift.

Finding and hiring Lauren to be our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! She is great with giving direction, was so flexible throughout the process and is just the sweetest! After doing a mini session with her we just knew she was going to be a great fit for our wedding day. On our wedding day she was calm and organized which we appreciated. We hope to continue to work with her past our wedding day for more photo shoots.

Lauren was a dream to work with! Wedding planning is so stressful, but having a photographer who was always quick to respond, flexible, and easy to work with, made it so much easier. She was able to capture special moments throughout our wedding and we couldn’t be more pleased with our photos. I can’t recommend her enough!

Lauren was an absolute dream to have for our wedding. I had a very unique outdoor wedding with details I wanted to capture. I also had grandparents who I wanted lots of photos of. Lauren made it all happen! Lauren is a great communicator who will make the wedding go so smooth. She took time to understand what I was looking for and she got to know the venue so she could find the best possible locations for great photos. From our wedding party to the ceremony to the reception there are an abundance of amazing photos to reminisce on. I am in love with my photos and so grateful for such a talented and friendly photographer!

Where to begin? Lauren was absolutely incredible to work with! Our story was unique because we were originally a 2020 Covid wedding that had to get rescheduled to 2021. We opted for a small private ceremony in 2020 in our backyard and then moved the originally planned event with all family and friends to 2021. Without hesitation, Lauren was supportive, accommodating and there for both events! She also met us for a super fun engagement photo session! Each interaction with her solidified how much we enjoyed working with her and how excited we were to have her documenting this special time in our lives through epic photos! She was so good at calming our nerves on the big day, keeping the mood light and making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She gave excellent guidance through the entire shooting process which was so comforting considering we were not used to being the center of attention and had no idea what we were doing! There was lots of laughter behind the scenes as she had us do different poses and Eskimo kisses haha. End result? The photos looked candid and sweet! We are so grateful for how fun she made everything and we couldn’t be happier with our choice to have her photographing our wedding(s)! She captured the essence of our wedding experience so perfectly and couldn’t be happier that we have her pictures to flip through and relive our special day(s) forever! We would 100% recommend Lauren to any couple looking for a wedding photographer! It will be the greatest wedding decision you make. In addition to her creating the most beautiful photos, she provided all the intangibles through the whole process: good communication, attention to details, listened to our requests, wanted to get to know us prior to the wedding, showed up on time, always had a smile on, and stuck to timelines. We are incredibly grateful Lauren was a part of our imperfectly perfect wedding experience! We can’t wait to work with her again in the future when we have kiddos and do family photos. Thanks Lauren! :)

Lauren was the best photographer we could have asked for! She’s super sweet, punctual, responsive, and professional. And her eye for what makes a good shot is unparalleled. Each photo tells a story and evokes an emotion that so many wedding photographers are never able to capture. I honestly hate most pictures of myself and was super nervous to be the center of attention. She put us at ease instantly and gave such great direction that felt so natural that we forgot we were being photographed. Oh and the photos? I love every single one of them. We originally used her for our engagement shots out in the snow. She was more than happy to make the trek with us (and it was quite the hike). It wasn’t until we were heading back that we noticed she was pregnant. We were so impressed by her dedication to her art and her willingness to have an adventure. When Covid hit she was more than flexible with our ever changing plans, and even through our multiple venue changes the week of the fires, she was more than willing to accommodate. Our wedding ended up being just our parents, but she captured it so beautifully. If you’re looking for someone who can take breathtaking outdoor shots, she’s your girl! I can’t say enough good things about her. Thank you SO much Lauren for going above and beyond. Can’t wait to have you for our big wedding whenever it can happen!

Lauren is absolutely amazing at what she does. When my now husband and I got engaged, Lauren being our photographer was the one thing we were certain of during our wedding planning process. I have had the pleasure of Lauren photographing us 3 times and I wouldn't want it any other way. She has perfectly captured the love between my husband and I and somehow in her photos has shown how our love has grown over the past 4 years. On our wedding day, she reminded us to soak everything in and never rushed us. She was amazing with our family and friends and perfectly captured all of the love and the joy we felt that day. She is the most kind-hearted individual I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I highly recommend her!

Lauren was absolutely amazing with helping us capture our engagement & our wedding. She was so flexible and so helpful during the entire process and it made my life so much easier! 10/10 recommend.
