I like to think of my photography style as fine art documentary. As the super color-obsessed human that I am, I am not afraid to use bright, beautiful tones, and I love sitting back and waiting for beautiful moments to unfold.

We feel so lucky for getting this opportunity to work with Lauryn. She is fun, and goes above and beyond to make sure you get the best pictures. My wife and I are not photogenic. We struggle to be in the spotlight. Lauryn and Bob made sure to help us relax and make everything seem natural. She has a gift of capturing moments. I am sure we will use her again in the future for an anniversary or other events that happen down the road. Can't stop raving about how wonderful she is to work with and the quality of her product!

We cannot say enough good things about working with Lauryn, and her husband, Bob! They were fantastic partners from the moment we interviewed them through wedding day. Lauryn checked in somewhat regularly in the months leading up to the wedding too, to see how I was feeling, how planning was going, etc. By the time our wedding weekend rolled around, I truly felt like she knew me, and understood us as a couple. (Even better than our full service wedding planner!). And it was so evident in the photos. They captured the pure joy, energy and emotions of the day beautifully. The photos are all so good that it has been almost overwhelming to try and narrow down our favorites!
Also, our glowing review aside -- numerous friends and family members commented to us on how great Lauryn & Bob were after the wedding too!

We've had the honor of working with Lauryn now a handful of times. Her images are very beautiful. As wedding planners, we can only hope that our photography team delivers images our clients want and of our hard work on all the details. She does just that. We love working with her when we have the opportunity and hope to work with her again in the near future!

Lauryn and her husband Bob were fantastic to work with and we were very happy with the photos. Despite living abroad Lauryn made time for video calls and an in-person venue walk through. I immediately felt comfortable with her and she did things like call us a few days prior to the wedding to ensure we had all our questions answered.
She captured some amazing shots of family moments, which was important for us. Bob captured some great shots of details like the rings and dresses. Overall would recommend Lauryn and Bob as they

Lauryn and Bob were amazing to work with. Not only did they capture beautiful, candid, and such sweet photos-they were an integral part of our wedding day, and really our whole wedding planning journey. Our families also had a blast interacting with them throughout the day, which made everything that much more fun. Lauryn worked really closely with us to figure out ahead of time what vibe and moments we really wanted to capture, and the thought that went into that process was so intentional and collaborative. And of course, came through in all the photos. Their calming, supportive presence on our wedding day meant the world to us. We will cherish these memories they captured through photos forever!

Lauryn and Bob were just the best. They entertained all of our crazy ideas, went with the flow of the weather (heat wave) that we were dealt, and tore us away from the party at exactly the right moments to get the best shots. The golden hour images they created are absolute magic.

Lauryn did our daughter’s wedding and we were so impressed! The pictures turned out so beautiful! She even gave great advice on which times would be best as far as sun exposure, and she knew exactly where to go for the best shots, as we were mostly unfamiliar with the Oregon coast. Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough nice things about working with Lauryn and Bob. Not only do they bring the most genuine and lovely attitude and vibes but they make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. They were so professional and knew exactly what to do and say to get all the family members together and they have such good vision when it comes to posing and backgrounds. And the pictures that came out in the end?*swoon* they are some of the most gorgeous shots! The colors, the lighting, the composition, all of it was so on point and so amazing. And we got our photos back so quickly! I cannot recommend Lauryn enough ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Pro tip: The wedding and engagement photo combo was the way to do it- not only do you get amazing photos of you and your fiancé before the wedding but getting to know Lauryn and Bob prior to the big day was so nice and made us way more comfortable and we knew what to expect/ what it felt like to be in front of the camera.

We had an incredible experience with our photographers Lauryn and Bob, they were hands down the best decision we made for our wedding! They captured thousands of moments, navigated our families with grace and were a calming presence throughout the day (even when I got makeup on my dress!). What sets them apart is not just their technical skill, but their ability to handle the chaos of the day and put us at ease. My husband and I generally aren't great in front of the camera, but they made us feel so comfortable and it can be seen in our genuine smiles. They exceeded our expectations and helped make our day so special. We are forever grateful for the memories they have given us. If you are searching for photographers that go above and beyond, they are the ones to choose! We highly recommend!

OMG OMG OMG!
I can’t think of any other words to say as I am speechless! These are absolutely beautiful. I am in love with every single photo. My mom is going to cry all over again when she sees these photos.
I can’t thank you enough for all of these and for being an amazing person to work with. You truly have a gift. You captured the essence of who Adam and I are and who our friends and family are. Couldn’t have imaged these coming out any better. 😊 again, I am truly amazed at the work you can do.
Can’t wait to show these off and someday work with you and Bob again… do you do family photos??? Lol Or maybe my 40th birthday 😉
Love you both so much! Keep in touch!

As a wedding planner, I LOVE working with Lauryn and her husband Bob. She's one of my team's (Your Perfect Bridesmaid) favorite vendors to recommend. Lauryn is so detail oriented and also just a downright kind and fun human. I've seen them make couples who claim to be awkward feel comfortable and look amazing in their portraits. On top of that, she takes beautiful detail and setting shots, which are some of my personal favorite shots to save and see in a gallery. I especially love that she has a whole kit of items for flat lays. You won't regret working with them!

Lauryn and Bob are hands down the best photographers for your wedding! These pictures are absolutely amazing! Just beautiful. We couldn’t have asked for anything better, as there was not a moment missed! Lauryn is so detail oriented with ensuring every special or sentimental moment or item is captured. They partner well as a team, and easily got us giggling with prompts to get us relaxed and comfortable. I highly recommend her for any special occasion! You won’t regret it!

Booking Lauryn and Bob from Lauryn Kay Photography was one of the best decisions we did for our wedding day! Having a destination wedding, Lauryn made sure to communicate with us as often as we felt needed and through various platforms (zoom, phone, text). She really made sure that she understood our vision for the day and made our special day seem less. Both of engagement and wedding photographs came out well beyond expectation and we had a blast with both Lauryn and Bob while taking the photos! Very personable and would very easily recommend to anyone looking for captured moments from a special day!

Lauryn's work is so authentic and beautiful. She does a great job capturing the standard photos you imagine taking on your wedding day, which most photographers can do. But her attention to detail and her vision is what sets her apart from the rest. She captured our wedding day in the light that I always want to remember it. All of the little moments of pure joy and happiness were the photos were our favorites. She also has a rare and special gift for capturing emotion, without motion or sound you can feel the energy at any moment during our wedding.
Lauryn's photos and work are amazing, but it doesn't just stop there. It was so nice to work with her as well. Her process is amazing where she just meets you at your comfort zone, and makes you feel like you have been loving the camera for your whole life. My husband and I are definitely not photo people, but working with Lauryn made us feel so comfortable and confident. Also having an engagement shoot beforehand where we could see her process, get to know her, and ultimately build a relationship before the big day made all the different.
Another thing I have to mention aside from Lauryn's work and process is that I really appreciated that on the day Lauryn really advocated for us as humans. It seems like a given, but it is easy to get wrapped up in checking boxes and making sure everything stays on schedule. But on the day Lauryn really took the time not only to get us amazing shots and make us feel comfortable, but she was really understanding and caring. If we seemed tired she advocated that we take a break. If we seemed frustrated she helped get us space to slow down and just enjoy the moment.
I cannot give enough praise. I highly recommend Lauryn as your wedding photographer. Beautiful and emotional work with a great process that makes anyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. But also with the added plus of being an overall caring person and great advocate for you as a couple on the day!

Lauryn and Bob photographed our wedding on June 4th, 2023 and it was the best decision we made when it came to our wedding. Both Lauryn and Bob have a gift and I feel so lucky they were apart of our special day. All our photos exceeded our expectations and are breathtakingly beautiful.
Months before the wedding, Lauryn did an amazing job checking in with the planning process. I ended up going to Lauryn for guidance and help throughout the wedding planning process because she is so knowledgable and fantastic. (Thank you again Lauryn for your above and beyond help!)
On the day of the wedding, both Lauryn and Bob were attentive, professional, calm and SO fun. My husband and I were able to be our true self during our photoshoots. Lauryn and Bob truly felt like family that day.
Thank you Lauryn and Bob for making our day even more special. I wish I could give you more stars because 5 just isn't enough. I can't recommend them enough - there isn't a better team out there.

Lauryn and Bob did our wedding June 3rd and we could not be happier, working with them was absolutely fantastic and fun. On the day of, Lauryn was always checking in on me to make sure I was doing okay and as low stress as possible. I really appreciated how attentive she was. Her compassionate touch made me so much more at ease to just enjoy and not worry! That makes the photos turn out better too ;)
The photos are out of this world.
On top of it all, Lauryn was a huge help in the beginning when I was figuring out which vendors to go with based off of what we wanted. Lauryn is a great communicator and extremely detail oriented when I needed the advice on particular items. She is timely in her responses and is honest, I appreciated that so much.
Both her and Bob are very well connected in the Portland area.
It is bittersweet this chapter is closing with our wedding wrapping up but we are both glad to have worked with these two amazing artists!

I still can’t believe I got to work with this incredible human being. Our pictures are more than I could have ever imagined.
Photography was the most important thing on our list when we started planning our wedding. We live in Los Angeles but picked a venue in Walla Walla, Washington to be near my hometown. I looked at every local photographer, and though I saw some beautiful work, I didn’t see any being the right fit. I wanted someone who could capture natural light, was mostly true to color, and didn’t overly-edit photos. I went to Instagram to search and stumbled across Lauryn’s page. I instantly fell in love.
Right away I could envision what our venue would look like with her touch. We were going for a whimsical, secret garden vibe and I knew Lauryn would be able to make magic. She captures all the natural greens, beautiful floral colors, and LIGHT. There’s something that takes my breath away about how she finds the light in every photo.
Planning a destination wedding was stressful but I truly couldn’t have done it without Lauryn. More than a photographer she was a cheerleader, a supporter, and a friend. When I felt nervous about an idea or discouraged by something not coming together, she was there to lend an ear and words of encouragement. Even on the wedding day when we were running more than an hour behind, she was the calm voice ensuring me we’d be okay - even though internally she was probably panicking!
Our wedding photos are unreal. I cannot say enough good things. Lauryn (and her husband Bob) captured so many fun, intimate moments that I wouldn’t have noticed with so many things happening. I still look at our photos and think, “How is this us??” She is magic. I will sing her praises until the end of time. 10/10 would recommend. Run, do not walk to book her.

I can't gush enough about Lauryn and her partner. They were so wonderful and fun on the day. Lauryn was very clear and attentive on the day of the wedding as well as after while she was working on our photos. Lauryn and Bob were warm and kind. They fit seamlessly into the day in a way that felt comfortable. Honestly, they are also just the kind of great people that I would have wanted to have at my wedding regardless of their photography skills.
And then there are the photos themselves. I. Am. Ecstatic.
They are so beautiful. They captured the joy and fun of the day and all felt like they really looked like all these people we know and love. The mixture of posed and candid shots was perfect. We ended up with these remarkably emotional images that will be with me forever. The photos are giving me a chance to see my wedding day from a whole new perspective because Lauryn and Bob were able to capture parts of the day I wasn't even tuned into. They were able to get these incredible large family photos that we wouldn't have otherwise been able to get.
I am beyond grateful for the amazing images of our friends and family that they were able to capture for us.

We absolutely loved working with Lauryn and Bob! The photos turns out fantastic, but beyond that they helped make our day so smooth. Lauryn is really an expert on how a wedding should run and gave us great advice and tips. My husband and I are both a bit camera shy and they made us feel so much more comfortable being photographed. They were patient with us, kind, and just really really lovely to work with. And the photos are just gorgeous! We are so happy with the photos, and our families are thrilled! I really can't recommend Lauryn and Bob enough. We loved them!

I cannot thank Lauryn and Bob enough for being such an important part of our vendor team. Lauryn is such a kind individual and working with her from start to finish was such a fun and easy process. She listened to the things that were most important to us and went above and beyond to capture everything we were most excited about for our big day. We included a coffee table book in our package for which we were supposed to pick 60-70 of our favorite images. My list of absolute top favorite pictures was over 200 which speaks to the quality of Lauryn and Bob's work. I feel so lucky to have gotten to work with the two of them and absolutely recommend them anyone looking for a photographer who you can talk to like a friend.

I am absolutely IN LOVE with our pictures!!! They were able to capture the answers to “Why Oregon” that my husband and I were asked for our entire engagement. I cannot recommend Lauryn and Bob enough, and I am so thankful to have had them as my photographers for my wedding!

When it came to wedding planning, having gorgeous and true to life wedding photos was a huge priority for us. Everyone says your wedding day goes by incredibly fast, and it’s true! We wanted to be able to relax and soak it all in while trusting that our photographers would be able to deliver a gallery that helped us relive every special moment from the day.
We fell in love first with the way that Lauryn and Bob capture the energy and joy of a wedding day whether an intimate elopement or a large event. Once we met, we knew they were the perfect fit to be our photography team. Not only are they extremely talented, but they are well connected and regarded in the wedding planning community. Lauryn was full of recommendations for other top notch vendors, and was really just a lovely voice of reason and calmness throughout the entire planning process.
They helped our wedding party, families, and guests feel totally comfortable in front of the camera and we couldn’t be more grateful for all of the wonderful memories they captured. Not to mention, Lauryn edited and delivered our entire gallery very quickly and every image is stunning.
We would give them 1 million stars if we could. Thank you both for everything!

We highly recommend Lauryn and Bob. We had a small, intimate wedding, and they really captured how perfect the day was and all of the small details that made it special. Lauryn also went above and beyond and found us our new wedding venue when our initial location canceled on us less than 3 months in advance. She also helped me coordinate the day of since I didn't have a planner. They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and we absolutely love how the pictures turned out - the lighting, the variety, the quantity and the quick turnaround. Thanks Lauryn and Bob!

We wish we could give Lauryn Kay Photography 6 stars out of 5! Lauryn and Bob were absolutely amazing to work with from the first time we spoke to our engagement photos to our wedding day. They helped us feel at ease in front of the camera (not easy for two self-proclaimed awkward people) and were 100% game for photographing our engagement photos and wedding at our family property. Their work is absolutely beautiful--they capture the colors, emotions, scenery, and details so well. We know we will treasure the images forever. Aside from their gorgeous work, we found them to be so, so, so amazing day of--they helped to ease any concerns, keep us (and a large bridal party) focused and on time, and dealt with some unexpected hiccups (like the groom throwing out his back during the reception) in stride. We truly feel like Lauryn and Bob not only captured our day for the joyous occasion that it was, but also they added so much to our experience as the bride and groom. We would hire them again in a heartbeat and would recommend them a million times over to anyone looking for a photographer.

We can't say enough good things about Lauryn and Bob! Lauryn came highly recommended by my Makeup Artist and from our first interaction, I knew I was going to book her! Lauryn was so thorough leading up to the wedding, with calls and a virtual meeting. We hadn't met in person until the day of (we live out of state) but we felt like we knew Lauryn and Bob and they seamlessly fit right into what could've been a very chaotic day. Lauryn was so mindful of the timeline our planner had set and was a calming presence to be around. We have such beautiful photos to remember the most amazing day of our lives and we owe it all to Lauryn and Bob!

We had the best experience with Lauryn and Bob. From planning to the day of, they were the best! We are from Arizona and had a destination wedding on the Oregon Coast. On my very first phone call with Lauryn I told her that my goal was a day of no stress. Lauryn was so helpful in planning and connecting us to other vendors in the area. Leading up to our wedding day, Lauryn checked in to be sure we had the day of timeline ready and that we were feeling confident and would be able to have a stress free day.
On our wedding day Lauryn and Bob were so much fun to work with and were instrumental in pulling off our stress free day full of joy and laughter. They made sure to capture all of the moments that were important to us.
Lauryn was so responsive following the wedding and had sneak peeks to us within a couple of days and the full gallery within a few weeks. Such a fast turnaround and we received a large gallery of flawless photos. I can't reccomend Lauryn Kay Photgraphy enough. They helped to make our day the best day ever!

Lauryn was so professional in our communication she also was very responsive to days leading up the wedding . As I was planning my own wedding and have been to very few weddings myself, her expertise helped guide us into getting some of the very best photos I could imagine. As I was stressing about the fine details ( the air was very Smokey right before our outdoor wedding) she offer insight on alternative locations close by as well. Thankfully the smoke cleared and we were able to get some of the most beautiful photos possible. When we finally met day of the wedding, she was so kind and sweet and was so easy to work with! She and Bob are so amazing and we couldn’t have asked for a better team capturing our special day. Thank you x100000!

Lauryn and Bob went above and beyond for us and delivered truly spectacular wedding photos. Their photos are an amazing time capsule that perfectly capture all of the beautiful moments - big and small - that made up our wedding. We will cherish them for years to come and look back through them any time we want to relive our day.
Lauryn & Bob put us, our bridal party and our family members at ease and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. They also were super considerate of how eager we were to see the photos, sharing a few preview shots with us within 24 hours and the entire gallery of photos within 3 weeks, an amazingly quick turnaround! They also shot our engagement session for us and shared beautiful photos that we ended up using for our Save the Date cards.
If you are in the middle of wedding planning and looking for your dream photographer, we can't recommend them highly enough! We are so grateful we got the chance to work with them.

I highly recommend hiring Lauryn and Bob as your photographers! We were told going into wedding planning that a quality photographer is one of the most worthwhile investments, and I couldn’t agree more. They were great to work with throughout the planning process and always provided clear and timely communication. We’re especially grateful for how understanding and flexible they were during the stressful time of making the decision to postpone our wedding a year due to Covid.
In a time when vendors are overloaded with weddings, we never felt like we were getting anything less than superb care. We received sneak peek photos the day after the wedding (which blew my mind), and the full wedding gallery 2.5 weeks later. I spent hours clicking through the photos over and over again because I was so blown away by them. They captured all the beauty, love, laughs and joy from the day and reminded us of little moments we’d already forgotten about. We couldn’t be happier with the final photos and overall experience, and can’t recommend them enough.

Lauryn and her husband took our Engagement Photos! It was such a fun experience and the photos turned out absolutely wonderful. We took sunset photos and Lauryn timed it perfectly. Plus they work with two cameras, so we received so many photos. Thanks again! Totally recommend.

Lauryn and Bob we AMAZING! They captured anything and everything I could imagine and more! Having both of them made for some amazing moments captured in two perspectives.
They have a soft and light style to their photography. They capture light and candid expressions really well. If you're looking for soft, beautiful photos of your friends and family, they've got you covered!
They're also very professional and respond to email very quickly. Just communicate what you want and they'll work with you! My new husband and I highly recommend them!

Wow! Lauryn and Bob so far and above exceeded our expectations. Our photos turned out INCREDIBLY! We did a short notice small family elopement in May 2021 and Lauryn and Bob rolled with all of the Covid ups and downs and just made us feel at ease and so excited from the very first phone call. The thing that most convinced me to book them was how inclusive they were of brides and grooms of all shapes and sizes on their website. They are not looking for only models to boost their image, they truly champion every couple. Lauryn was very quick and fast to respond about any concern or questions before and after the wedding. The entire process booking and organizing was so seamless and on the wedding day they were the DREAM TEAM. They both were down for adventure and climbing sand dunes and enduring high winds at the coast for some truly EPIC pictures.I cannot recommend them enough. We have cherished pictures that make us look like we belong in a magazine and every person we have shown them to is just amazed at how incredible they are. You will never regret booking them, they gave me the wedding pictures of my dreams.

Lauryn Kay Photography was amazing to work with! Planning a wedding during Covid was extremely stressful, but her and her team made things much easier on me. It was really nice to have a team that I could rely on heavily as far as professionalism, time management, and quality of work. I highly recommend Lauryn and would hire her in a heartbeat for my next event.

Being a photographer, the process of choosing someone to capture our wedding was not easy. After looking through photos from multiple companies in the Portland Metro Area, we stumbled upon Lauryn Kay Photography. After initially meeting with them about 5 months in advance, my wife and I hired Bob and Lauryn to shoot our wedding in May of 2020. Given the circumstances, we ended up having to move our reception to a later date. Bob and Lauryn were super understanding and flexible throughout the whole process as we moved dates and requested certain types of photos. They were on top of their business and are great at checking in with us leading up to the event. When it came to the reception day, all of our photo requests were met and we felt as though our photos turned out great, which is saying a lot since we both come from families of 6+ kids. Lastly, the turn-around for our photos was faster than expected, and we love them all. We really enjoyed working with Bob and Lauryn, and 100% recommend them for your photography needs!

Choosing Lauryn and Bob to be our photographers was by far the best decision we made during the wedding planning process. They continued to go above and beyond as we navigated planning and replanning our wedding during the COVID-19 pandemic. We had to sacrifice a lot of what we envisioned for our wedding day but getting absolutely gorgeous photos was not one of them. They’re incredibly professional and if you have any worries about what to do in front of a camera that feeling will quickly go away as they direct you on how to look your best.

Lauryn came highly recommended from my wedding planner – and I’m so grateful. I let Lauryn know early on that my fiancée was nervous about being in front of the camera. She suggested an engagement shoot to help us get comfortable and from that first meeting, we knew we had made the right choice. They were so much fun to work with, kept us relaxed, and made it all seem so natural. She cared so much about making our wedding day special. She worked within our schedule (and budget) to make sure we got all of the shots we wanted from the day. She’s great with giving directions, and we were so impressed at her ability to get our family all in one place, looking in the same direction, and with smiles on their faces! She and Bob are incredibly professional and we never had to worry about them getting the right shots. Our wedding photos are beautiful and capture the absolute joy of the day. We are so thankful for Lauryn and Bob!

I cannot give enough praise for Lauryn and Bob! They went above and beyond what was ever expected and they were there the ENTIRE step of the way. From the day we hired them until our pics were delivered, there was constant support and communication. Not to mention how incredibly talented they are! Our pictures turned out phenomenal and we have gotten so many compliments. I literally can not think of one area of improvement, Lauryn made it a priority to get to know us and know what we wanted. After my wedding I was sad that I won't have an excuse to talk to her anymore!

Five stars does not do this couple justice. Lauryn and Bob were such a blessing for my husband and myself. The minute I spoke with Lauryn over the phone during our consult I know she was going to be my photographer. She has the most carefree, silly and genuine spirit that makes you feel more than welcome and valued. Bob and Lauryn obviously have a gift of capturing a couple's true personality while weaving in detail and tradition. They did both our engagement and wedding photos and somehow were able to please both my mother and myself. The editing alone is one for the books! Each photo was returned in record time and was filled with light, giggles and shots of family members that I know I'll cherish forever. The photos Bob and Lauryn took are really more than just pictures, but instead, are frames that truly captured the reality and memory of the love that is shared amongst our communities and ourselves. I am so proud of these photos and I look forward to sharing them with my future children and grandchildren someday. I know that when the see them, they'll be able to feel the love and fun that so tremendously existed on that day only because Bob and Lauryn were able to freeze it in time. I can't thank them enough! If you're in need of a photographer and want a mixture of fun, light, gorgeous detail and a dash of tradition, seek no further. Consider this review the sign you've been waiting for!

We are so thankful for Lauryn and Bob and the beautiful photos they captured of our big day! I first contacted Lauryn through her website after seeing her name pop up on WeddingWire. She promptly responded and sent me all of the details needed to book our wedding day. She even jumped on the phone with me to talk through a couple of wedding planner recommendations she had for me based on the vision and vibe we had in mind for our wedding. I'm so glad she had our date open because having Lauryn and Bob capture our big day was the best decision we've ever made! They are fun, creative and a joy to work with! Lauryn has a way of making you feel calm in front of the camera, and offers engagement sessions for her wedding clients to ease your nerves and to just get to know you as a couple. We received our wedding album about 2 weeks after our wedding and the photos could not have been more perfect! We can’t get over how beautiful every single photo turned out, especially the golden hour photos! The photos Lauryn and Bob captured will help us relive the joy of our wedding day for years to come!

I'm so sorry it has taken me nearly six months to write this...but my husband and I couldn't have asked for better photographers for our elopement. We are from Ohio and we wanted to get married somewhere in the mountains and decided on Oregon. From the first message I sent to Lauryn she quickly responded, was engaging, and helpful. We talked and figured out the times that worked best to capture the golden hour. She even went beyond her photography skills to send me links of makeup and hair artists. We are so happy we chose Lauryn and Bob to capture our day!

We had Lauryn and Bob do our engagement photos back in June, and our wedding photos just a few days ago. I'm in love with their work. She and Bob were so calm and collected, and their ability to go with the flow made us feel so relaxed and had many laughs during our shoots. I love the engagement photos, and the teasers that I have seen of the wedding photos makes me so excited to see the rest. Really worth every penny!

I could not be happier with the team at Lauryn Kay Photography. Lauryn and Bob photographed our Portland wedding in August of 2015. We had no doubts of choosing Lauryn Kay Photography to photograph the most important day of our lives. They made us feel tremendously comfortable before the wedding by listening to our expectations, wants and needs and those were honored on the actual day and our pictures were exactly what we wanted and hoped for. We also went over a photo timeline beforehand, and a list of all the pictures needed or wanted, the name of the family or people, and possible combinations. That was helpful and calmed our stress and nerves because we knew Lauryn Kay Photography had it handled. Lauryn and Bob were professional, on time, worked hard and extremely helpful on the day of. They captured all the perfect moments from all the traditional shots to all the shots we had asked for and the end product was absolutely stunning and perfect. We are so glad and thankful that we chose Lauryn Kay Photography because photos are forever and capture such sweet moments in time and this team does it best! Thank you Lauryn Kay Photography, Lauryn and Bob, our photos are wonderful and your care and expertise in photography made our wedding day just that much more perfect. Much love and thanks, Casey and Nichole Hermens

When my husband and I got engaged back in 2013, one of our major priorities for vendor-selection was the photography. Neither of us cared for the overly-posed and stiff style; we were looking for a more photojournalistic approach that captured people in a more artistic and candid light. We took a chance, booking Lauryn and Bob with Lauryn Kay Photography even though we would be one of the first full weddings they had done, and let me tell you, they blew our expectations out of the water! Since we had a Catholic ceremony, there were certain parameters the photographers had to work within, but regardless - looking at the photos, you feel like you are right back experiencing the moment again in everyone’s candid faces. Polite, punctual, and always professional, Lauryn also has amazing attention to detail. Whether in taking the actual photos or doing consultations over a cup of coffee to find out your day-of priorities and developing a schedule to get you the shots you (and your mom!) want. Their great sense of humor kept the mood light and fun and they can make us un-photogenic people look spectacular. My favorite part of the whole experience was seeing the multitude of shots taken of our family and guests at the reception, capturing little moments and interactions that we were too busy (but so happy!) to see.
Additionally, some good friends also booked Lauryn and Bob for their wedding last summer. Check out Mariah and Jeff’s wedding photos on lauryn’s blog - again she hit it out of the park! Lauryn has such an eye for coordinating beautiful, ethereal shots of landscapes with the wedding color palette, and making her subjects look dang good doing it. Book them! You will be in the best of hands.

Working with Lauryn was amazing from the very start. At the last minute during a difficult pregnancy Lauryn was able to squeeze me in. She made the whole experience amazing even though it was thrown together on both our sides. Almost a year and my darling daughter later, I got engaged! The first person we told was Lauryn. Seriously, even before my best friend. I knew immediately that she would be perfect for our engagement photos. She made it so easy for Riley considering he’s never had photos taken. Our family and friends love our photos, more importantly we do! I can’t wait to continue sharing our life with Lauryn.

I was beyond excited when finding out Lauryn was available on our wedding day. I happened upon some of her photos when first starting the wedding planning process, and her photos just grabbed me. She scheduled a Skype meeting with my then fiancé and me to answer any questions we had and to discuss details. It was so great to talk with her, and that meeting solidified our decision to hire her.
We finally met in person at our engagement shoot. Her and Bob were so wonderful to work with! They made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, and the time flew because we had so much fun. We received the gallery of final images quickly after and were blown away by what she had captured! This got us even more excited for her to shoot our wedding.
Lauryn hadn’t been feeling well for several days leading up to our wedding. She showed up with her game face on though, and nobody could have guessed that she wasn’t feeling 100%. She captured our day beautifully and made the photo process so enjoyable. It was an honor to have her and Bob capture our wedding day, and we’ve truly enjoyed getting to know them through the process.
We can’t wait to work with them again in the future! Thank you for being so wonderful!!

My husband and I were honored to have Lauryn photograph our wedding and I cannot say enough positive things about her work. She made our big day that much more special by documenting the moments we were too busy to notice and made us very comfortable being in front of the camera. She was even willing to travel to Idaho for our wedding and spent a second day with us for a “trash the dress” session. We cannot thank her enough for the amount of time she spent before, during and after our big day to bring those photos so close to our hearts. She is a wonderful photographer, artist and all around human and we look forward to more photo sessions in the future with her!

I don’t feel particularly beautiful, but the photos Lauryn Kay captured of my fiancé and I during our engagement session are simply stunning. Working with Lauryn made us feel so comfortable which in turn allowed my fiancé and I just to enjoy each other and have fun during our session. Lauryn Kay captured our joy and love perfectly.

First off, Lauryn and Bob are the BEST!! Definitely book them!!
They really came to my rescue. I was having a hard time finding a photographer for my wedding day. There are an overwhelming amount of options for the Portland area and I’m very particular about the photography style I like. I looked at a lot of options, but I just wasn’t finding anyone that stood out to me. After months of indecision, my wedding day was dangerously close and I was still without a photographer. I was so worried I wouldn’t be able to find anybody (because everyone would be booked for that day already) or that I’d find someone but they wouldn’t live up to my expectations and I’d have to compromise my vision, that I started to lose hope. I decided to post on a Facebook wedding page to see if any photographers were still available for that day and I was surprised how many comments I got.
Even though dozens of photographers contacted me, it was when I saw Lauren’s web page that I knew I could still have the wedding day I dreamed of! Looking through her gallery, I knew instantly that I wanted her to photograph my wedding! Her photography style is so beautiful and was EXACTLY what I was looking for! I honestly couldn’t believe how great things had worked out! I booked her right away (I’m so happy she was available last minute!) and she graciously agreed to work with my budget.
Lauryn was truly a joy to work with. The planning process went seamlessly, she was always super responsive to emails and offered to help in any way she could, and she was so easy to talk to. She has an infectiously happy and bubbly personality and you can tell she is genuinely interested in the people she meets and works with. Also (as is apparent by her portfolio) she really knows her stuff! I knew my wedding day was in good hands and my mind was finally at ease.
As expected, Lauryn and Bob were a delight to have around on our wedding day! It’s the best day of your life and A LOT of pictures are going to be taken, so it’s important to have a photographer with a good personality who knows what they’re doing! My husband and I are not usually comfortable in front of a camera, but Lauryn and Bob expertly guided us through the process and helped us feel at ease. The pictures turned out AMAZING and they’re EXACTLY what I hoped for! Not a moment of our wonderful day was missed and now we have beautiful memories to look back on. I’m so grateful for how things worked out and if I ever need pictures taken again, I know who to go to!!

Booking Lauryn & Bob for our wedding was one of the best vendor decisions we made. It didnt occur to me that wed be spending nearly every moment of our wedding day with our photographers, but now that I know that, Im so grateful it was them. When little things went wrong, Lauryn distracted me by asking me to pose for fun photos. They worked magic with our large wedding party & family; making jokes as necessary to lighten the mood. Neither my husband nor I feel particularly comfortable in front of a camera, but we felt totally at ease with these two and it showed in the end product. The photos are absolutely stunning. We received them in a timely manner and the hard copies were delivered in such a thoughtful way! If you need a wedding photographer, book Lauryn Kay Photography youll be so glad you did!
