Lauren Zavaletta Photography

beauty of our greenhouse venue. I knew I didn’t want too many “staged” or edited photos. Lauren is extremely gifted, she was very responsive to prior to the wedding via text, email, and a videoconference. She was on time and professional. She didn’t need much instruction on the day of since we discussed details a couple weeks before. She surpassed all my expectations for my dream wedding photos. I can’t count the numbers of friends and family members that told me how beautiful they thought our wedding photos not because they were wedding photos but because of the composition and style. She did this all while 6+ months pregnant, she even stayed for the 11pm bubble send off! I am sure this is listed in her package but I did not realize that the preview album (about a week after the wedding) would have over 100 photos. It was a wonderful surprise to me. Lauren is amazing, stop looking if you are searching for a talented photographer!

s so kind and friendly and made us feel less awkward in front of the camera by giving us direction for the poses while also capturing our natural candid moments. We would highly recommend Lauren's services to anyone who is looking for a fun and comfortable photo taking experience!

t session and the wedding day and both were captured so beautifully. 10/10 would hire again.

photographer and I couldn't be happier with how our photos turned out.

ell 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!

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.

tail 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.

nd 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.

r. 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 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!

r 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! :)

oto 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!

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!

10/10 recommend.
