Lauryn was the second best decision we made on our wedding day besides marrying one another. Her work speaks for itself so be sure to look at some of her past weddings! My husband and I eloped privately so photographs were key as this is how our families experienced our ceremony. Lauryn’s gallery told the story of our day beautifully and I will cherish those photos forever. With our ceremony being private we spent a majority of the day working closely with her and we had a blast! She did not miss a single detail (and there were many!) I highly recommend Lauryn as your wedding photographer, she captured ours phenomenally.
Any professional wedding photographer who knows what they’re doing will take nice photographs of your day, what Lauryn gives you is freaking ART. I stumbled upon her work while planning our moody fall wedding and thought her aesthetic would be perfect for the vibe we wanted to capture. And, it was. My husband and I literally gasped at some of the pictures as we were going through our gallery. Truly gorgeous shots that look like they could be in GQ or an upscale wedding magazine, but that still capture the emotion of the day. She also did a great job handling our family for portraits including a squirmy almost-two-year-old, and was willing to hike up under a bridge to take our engagement photos. I had considered cutting our budget around the photographer investment early on in the planning process and I am so, so happy I didn’t go that route - your wedding goes by so fast and some if it will be just a blur, trust me, you’re going to want the best photos you can possibly get. You can’t go wrong with this lady!
Lauryn was an absolute dream to work with! She is so professional, creative, and talented. We felt so comfortable with her right from the start of the day and just enjoyed the whole experience. She captured the day so well, and it has been amazing to relive our wedding day through looking at the pictures. We are so happy with our photos and would highly recommend working with Lauryn!
Lauryn photographed our wedding in February 2024. She is an absolute dream to work with! We knew right away that we were in good hands from the the first consultation. Lauryn was thorough in the details, clearly communicated with us, and ensured that our vision for the big day was aligned. On the actual wedding day, she was delightful to be around. It was pretty chilly that day, and she ran all around Philly to all of the locations that we requested to capture our photographs, all while keeping us happy and comfortable. She was amazingly organized, stuck to the timeline, and kept everyone else on schedule (no easy feat). When we saw the actual finished products, we were blown away. They are absolutely stunning and we couldn't be happier. When thinking back on the day, we recognize that we love how our photos turned out because of Lauryn's ability to make us feel so comfortable posing for photos. It really translates into the photographs, and we are forever grateful to Lauryn because it's something we will look back on fondly for years to come. Do yourselves a favor and book Lauryn as your photographer! She's an absolute gem!
We work with Lauryn all the time and she is absolutely TOP TIER! As a fellow wedding vendor I can confirm you are in the best of hands with her, THANK YOU for all you do!!!
Lauryn photographed our engagement photos then our wedding back in October and we loved her so much we had her shoot our family reception as well! She is so fun to work with and has such a good eye for fun spots to take photos. We felt so comfortable with her and she helped us figure out how to pose. We absolutely love our wedding photos and would highly recommend her!
Lauryn was absolutely a JOY to work with and so supportive through the entire day. I LOVED working with her and I will absolutely work with her again!
From our first phone conversation over a year ago to the day of our (rescheduled) wedding, Lauryn was positive, organized, flexible, and above all, genuine! She made us feel at ease throughout our busy wedding day and her fast thinking ensured we still got stellar shots despite the weather and other delays. It was the best investment we made for our wedding day and the pure joy she captured through her lens is something we will cherish forever. She was absolutely amazing to work with!
Not only is Lauryn a talented photographer, but she is also an absolute gem of a human! She is such a light and we are so thankful to have had her there on our day. We are absolutely in love with our photos and her editing style is exactly what we were looking for to capture our moody November wedding. She is down for anything and will do the absolute most to get a great shot. She is professional and prompt when responding to emails and was quick with editing and getting our photos to us. Overall, she is outstanding and we are so thankful we found her!
Lauryn is a fantastic photographer! We loved working with her and our photos are outstanding. You must hire her.
We used Lauryn for both our engagement photos and wedding day photographer. She was absolutely amazing! From helping us pose, to helping organize family photos (with kids included), she really went above and beyond. It rained on our wedding day and Lauryn helped us to just roll with it and the photos turned out AMAZING! Definitely highly recommend Lauryn!
Lauryn was the BEST wedding photographer we could've asked for!!! Aside from her photos being absolutely amazing, her energy is unmatched, and she will do whatever she needs to in order to get the best photos! By the end of the night, she felt like a friend I've known for years! Do yourself a favor and hire her right now!
Lauryn, I can’t ever find the right words to thank you for all you did. You weren’t just a photographer you were warm/welcoming. You helped me get dressed (since I suffered an injury on my ankle a month before the wedding day). You helped our timeline, made sure you captured all of the perfect moments.
When looking for a photographer/vendor you look at things like cost or budget. You look at the portfolio of the photographer. But what you don’t see is the behind the scenes. I can’t ever thank you, pay you enough. Everyone from me the bride to the bridal party, the venue manager RAVED about how amazing you are Lauryn. And now after seeing your finalized work I’m blown away.
Thank you for everything. If you’re a bride in the eastern pa looking for the BEST photographer, look no further. Book her RIGHT NOW!
I cannot thank Lauryn enough for being there on our wedding day. She was sweet and kind, knew the vibe we were going for, and sent the sneak peak photos to us at an insane turn around time. (In the best way!) She made me feel comfortable and beautiful as I have a super low self esteem. Everything was so easy having her there. She’s funny and extremely focused and made sure to get all the shots we wanted. Hire her for your wedding ASAP!
Lauryn was one of the best parts of our wedding day! Her energy and easy-going nature made us feel comfortable in front of the camera (we generally stay far away from them!) and our guests absolutely adored her. Lauryn was extremely helpful throughout the planning process and responded to every last one of my questions quickly. She also provided us with a perfect schedule which made the day go super smoothly! She is a fantastic photographer (her work speaks for itself!) and is an absolute joy to work with! Hire her now - your search is over!
This is a criminally late review, but one that I could not let myself forget to write!
Simply put, Lauryn is not only the best photographer we have ever worked with, but she is simply one of the best PEOPLE we have ever have had the pleasure of working with!
Driving from Philly to Boston, Lauryn showed up to the hotel early, and just hit the ground running. She introduced herself, infecting everyone with her fun, bubbly personality. So effortless were our conversations, we didn't even realize she had been snapping pictures the moment she entered the room. When it was time to get going, she yanked out the schedule we created, and moved the bridal and groom parties around like she was a day-of coordinator, which we already had 2 of!
I have never seen my wife on time for anything, but Lauryn got her from Point A to Point B like the pro she is! She made sure neither parties crossed paths before we got to the isle, nailed every single shot we wanted (and ones we didn't even know we wanted!), and kept us all on time, with some to spare.
By the end of the night, we all just wanted to be friends with her!
We will recommend Lauryn to any and everyone! We wish we could rate her even higher! It is a genuine hope that we can work with her again in the future.
Thanks for everything, Lauryn!
I couldn't have enough words to say how absolutely amazing Lauryn was. She helped keep me calm for my day and that's a task with my large family. But from start to finish she made me feel comfortable, like a friend you invited to your wedding. My whole family has nothing but kind words to say about her too. She was absolutely incredible and I am so happy she was a part of my special day.
Lauryn was amazing! She captured every moment and we could not be any happier with her! On our wedding day, she was quick and maneuvered everywhere - she sure did get every perfect shot! Would HIGHLY recommend her to any couple that is looking for someone that not only captures the beautiful photos and memories you’ll look back on but also made it so much fun! We had lots of laughs! We cannot thank her enough for being part of our special day!
Lauryn is the absolute best!!! She was extremely helpful and professional throughout the entire wedding and planning process! During the wedding, she was amazing at getting us to open up and had everyone feeling comfortable through all of the photos! Lauryn was a single shooter, and she got all of the photos we wanted and more! She captured every moment perfectly! She made our wedding day perfect and all of the photos are BEYOND INCREDIBLE!! I highly recommend Lauryn for all your photography needs, you won't find anyone better!
We had a small and intimate wedding at the courthouse and we wanted someone to capture the little moments spent with close family and to show our love- Lauryn did just that! From the very first email to phone conversation, she was not only professional, but you could tell she really cared- which is huge considering it IS your wedding day. Her expertise shined through from when she walked through the doors with a smile on her face until the very last photo. She was lovely to work with and I highly recommend her to capture your style & vision- as she will do just that!
Lauryn is the BEST!
Lauryn did such a fantastic job with our wedding. I knew from the moment we hired her that she was going to be super organized and keep our rowdy bridal party on time the day of the wedding. She did that and everything more, not to mention her photos come out beautiful. Lauryn was so easy to work with and she led us through this entire process effortlessly. I would highly recommend Lauryn to anyone looking for a photographer!
Lauryn made us feel completely comfortable throughout our entire wedding day. From bustling my wife’s dress when needed, to moving a traffic cone that was in view during our ceremony, Lauryn truly goes above and beyond to get the most beautiful (and candid!) shots. We so enjoyed working with her and would recommend her to anyone. Thanks for everything, Lauryn!
Lauryn was an absoloute dream! We hired her for her photogrophy skills but also for her easygoing and friendly personality. She was the most helpful out of anyone the day of my wedding and went beyond her job duties to keep me at ease. I got multiple compliments from other guests saying how awesome she was. Highly, highly recommend!
Lauryn went above and beyond our expectations for a photographer. She was outstanding, quick to send teasers and out photos back and truly gave a personal touch through our our wedding day! She stayed with me and even helped bustle my dress. It was as if she was an additional bridesmaid. We would recommend her 10x times over and plan to continue to use her for future photographer sessions; family shots, etc. We love our wedding shots and they will forever be the best items for us to look back on our amazing day! Thank you for capturing our memories!
Book Lauryn Immediately...I stole that last line from another review but it so encapsulates my feelings.
Do you know who you spend the most time with on your wedding day, apart from your new spouse? YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER! That's why we did not take the process of finding the right photographer lightly. We were first struck by the beauty of Lauryn's samples, each one looked like it was plucked out of a fairy tale. Then when we talked on the phone, our minds were made up. Her personality and vision just so gelled with our own and a bond was formed...between Husband and Wife and Photographer :).
She is a true professional, dredging through riverbeds and climbing up rock walls to get the perfect shot. When she was working with our family, she calmly but effectively wrangled both of our crazy aunts and uncles. And during the big party, she was on the dance floor capturing every moment of bliss.
As someone who is a bit self-conscious, I was hesitant that I'd get the same "fairy tale effect" from looking at my photos...Well Lauryn removed all hesitation and I'm completely obsessed. And that feeling is shared by everyone with whom we've shared her work.
In summary. Book Lauryn Immediately...
Lauryn was professional, hysterical, creative, and a GO GETTER. I seriously think she should go into wedding planning/ photography because she was my go-to for everything wedding-related the day of. She is freaking magical and felt like an old friend by the end of the weekend. Lauryn, thank you for making our day so special and memorable. We adore you and would recommend you a million times over! We will cherish your photos for the rest of our lives. Thank you!
We booked Lauryn for both our engagement and wedding pictures. Every single photo she took is outstanding. On top of that she's very easy to work with and made posing in 'cheesy' photos fun and easy.
She really managed to capture the spirit of the whole wedding day. Book her immediately.
Lauryn was beyond perfect! We booked her for both our engagement shoot and our wedding, and she nailed it! Not only did the pictures absolutely blow us away, but she made every step feel fun, laid back, and like we’ve been friends for years.
For our engagement shoot location she gave us an amazing list of nearby recommendations. She got us the pictures in record time and made us feel like we were pros.
Our wedding day was beyond perfect. She pulled off some magic and kept some cute surprises I had planned for my husband a secret, and made sure she was perfectly placed for the reveals! The schedule she had laid out for us made everything flow seamlessly.
We already can’t wait for the next big event in our new life together that we can ask her again to freeze in time.
Lauryn was INCREDIBLE. She had my husband and I laughing the whole time! It made us feel so relaxed and at home and it definitely shows in the photos!
Lauryn was amazing! I loved working with her. From the moment we met for an initial meeting we hit it off. I had some family emergency issues right after we met but she was so sweet and held our date until I was able to send a deposit. Due to covid we had to cancel our original wedding date in June, by late July we quickly planned our end of August wedding. Lauryn was flexible and open when we rescheduled. Even though we didn't have an engagement photo session, it was so easy to work with Lauryn. Thank you Lauryn!
Lauryn is AMAZING!
We booked Lauryn as our photographer for our wedding in August. She is very professional, responsive, flexible, and creative. I put complete trust in her on our rainy wedding day and she delivered! The pictures are incredible!!! I love the candid shots she captured of us and our guests. We are very impressed and in awe of her work. We highly recommend Lauryn!!!
Lauryn is incredible!! She was the photographer for one of my best friend's wedding (2 years before mine) and I knew from that point that I wanted Lauryn to be our photographer as well. Also since then, she has been recommended through our friends group, from weddings to baby announcement photos.
Our wedding was originally supposed to be in April, however the pandemic completely changed our wedding plans from a 150+ person wedding to a micro wedding with 21 people in my parents in law backyard in July. Lauryn rolled with the changes and made this process so incredibly easy.
Needless to say, the pictures of our day are just absolutely beautiful! She captured every single special moment and so many wonderful candids. Even when Lauryn's time to leave came and we thanked her and said our goodbyes, it must have been 5-10 minutes later that I looked out front and saw her still there taking more photographs of my nieces and nephews playing. I just cannot say enough great things. I am so happy we chose Lauryn for our photographer and we cannot wait for her to capture our reception next year with all of our family and friends!
I cannot say enough good things about Lauryn! She shot our wedding on 7/11/20 and we could not be happier with how everything turned out! At first when we met Lauryn, I felt like she shared our vision with wanting to get all the special moments and emotions of the day without a ton of posed photos. And she got exactly that. And let me tell you about flexible. We had to change our wedding venue 8 days before. Yes, 8 days before our wedding, and she never hesitated. With all the stress of changing everything just a week before, to have a vendor that was so easy and stress free, we couldn't of asked for anything better.
The day flies by and there are so many moments and things you don't get to see, so going back and getting to see them through the photos has been amazing. She got so many precious moments of the day where I feel like I'm reliving the day all over again. And it truly was the best day ever, and now I have the most amazing photos to look at for the rest of my life. If you are looking for a photographer to get photos that can make you laugh, cry, and help you relive your best day ever, then go with Lauryn!
Lauryn is the only vendor you need for your wedding, and COVID-19 proved it. We had our wedding in the middle of this global pandemic, and Lauryn was the only choice that didn’t change. She was flexible, understanding and really fun. If our wedding day wasn’t already the best day ever, she made it 1000x better! She will laugh and cry with you from behind the camera, while capturing each candid moment and perfect memory effortlessly. She hiked up a mountain for us literally and figuratively. We love you Lauryn! We can’t thank you enough!
Lauryn is an absolute rockstar!! She is kind, reassuring, and extremely accommodating! Lauryn shot our wedding on 2/29 at The Valley Green Inn. It was freezing for our outside ceremony, and she really worked with us to make everyone comfortable that day. She was so personable that the guests raved about how kind she was after the wedding. Her talent is absolutely breathtaking, her style is timeless, and you can see the dedication that she puts into each and every photo. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!!!
Lauryn was absolutely fantastic. I am not usually very keen on having my photo taken, but after looking at Lauryn’s instagram profile and gallery on the knot, I decided she was the one I could trust with my nerves and hired her. She was absolutely fantastic with all of our family members and got all the shots we needed, plus tons more. She brings ideas to the table, gives great direction and advice, and works at the speed of lightening! Even with two big families, she got everyone photographed and we got to enjoy our entire cocktail hour. I wont go on and on about the quality of the photos because you can see for yourself, but she just has a great eye, and is so super professional and friendly with everyone. She take beautiful candids shots as well as the posed photos. I cant recommend Lauryn enough!
For the people who scroll through reviews looking for facts:
-Pictures = I cannot describe how beautiful they are. They are BEYOND. Beautifully edited and she captures the perfect moments. Our fist kiss picture? I cry every time I look at it.
-Professionalism = 100 out of 10. Lauryn responds to every question and concern.
-Timeliness = I received my pictures back in two months (AND it was the holiday season!)
-Price = fit perfectly in my budget and was significantly below other photographers.
-Style = Shes prefers candid photos as opposed to staged photos. Which was a win in my book. But she also works with you to create any image you have in mind.
-Should you book her? YESSSS!
I honestly cannot say enough positive things about Lauryn. Her contagious positive attitude, creativity and talent are just a few of the reasons why you should hire her.
Lauryn is such a gem and truly one of the MVPs of our wedding day. Her work is stunning, and I am obsessed with every single one of our photos. But on top of that, she is an amazing person to have with you on a day when you may be, as I was, a little insane. She is super sweet, fun, and genuine, while also being an incredible people-manager. We had a tight timeline with multiple locations throughout the day. Lauryn got every shot (and then some), wrangled my unruly family and my husband's large one, dodged traffic in a Wawa parking lot (yes we took pictures there), and just generally made everything happen, while also being incredibly flexible with whatever last minute ideas I came up with. I never felt rushed, but I also never felt like I had to worry about getting everything in because she had everything in hand. During the ceremony and reception, she was like a fly on the wall, catching things I didn't even know were happening, and then suddenly appearing to help with things like getting a plate for the cake cutting when the catering staff forgot to bring one out.
Lauryn was also so helpful and responsive throughout the planning process, from sending me vendor recommendations to finalizing our timeline, and she definitely wins the title of Fastest Email Responder. From our first phone conversation, she was reassuring and just so lovely to work with. She's really the whole package, and one of my favorite vendors that we worked with--I couldn't recommend her more!!
My now husband and I met Lauryn on a brewery tour a week after we got engaged and instantly hit it off. I found out she went to the same college as I had and we knew right away, we had to use her for our photographer! I looked at her work and loved everything, especially the candids she took and how the pictures weren't all the, "typical" wedding photos. Lauryn's prices were reasonable and she went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect before the wedding day and day of. I am a very anxious person and Lauryn answered any all and my questions in a timely manner and constantly put me at ease. Day of, she was right on time and took all of the pictures I requested. She even helped me put on my shoes and carry my dress at times! Just this week, we got out pictures back and needless to say, I am beyond happy with them! Anyone that has seen them so far is so impressed as well. I highly recommend using Lauryn for your event!
We loved working with Laury!! She was so much fun to have around, very organized, and quick to answer our questions any time. She kept everyone on time and organized during family portraits the day of the wedding, which was no easy task. During the reception, she was everywhere and took so many pictures. I need to come up with another reason to have pictures taken so we can hang out with her again! I absolutely recommend her!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Lauryn. She is so naturally talented at what she does. She made everything so easy and comfortable for my wife and I on our wedding day. She is so creative with the different backdrops and poses she chooses. **There were moments of the wedding day that I completely forgot and the only way I now have memories of them is through Lauryn’s photos.** A family member has also booked her for their wedding because they were so impressed with her personality and professionalism. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Lauryn was sweet and professional and made us feel very comfortable. We made a list of shots we wanted and she made sure we got all the photos we wanted and a bunch of others. The experience was so amazing and I totally recommend Lauryn for your wedding.
LAURYN IS AMAZING !!! She has done family shoots ,our engament shoot and our wedding . I have only recieved my teasers this far but I know I'll love all the photos .. shes sweet as can be talented and affordable!! I reccomend her to everybody I meet . I cant wait to work with her again
This is now the second time I have hired Lauryn to take professional photos - the first time was for a Bridal Shower that I hosted and this time she took our yearly family photos. I have loved working with Lauryn, she is a true pleasure. Lauryn is positive, professional and artistic! You will be so happy you chose Lauryn to capture your special moments!
We recommend Lauryn enthusiastically after a great experience with her from start to finish. From initial consultations through patient good humor and fun on the day, she was the perfect participant in our celebration. Very reasonably priced and the photos are all that we hoped they would be. It took just a few weeks to get a huge batch of nearly 400 processed photos back on a flash drive in addition to hundreds more in raw format, a very quick turnaround. Go with Lauryn and you won't regret it!

Booking Lauryn was one of the best decisions my husband and I made during the wedding process. She is unbelievably talented. Out of hundreds of pictures from our engagement shoot I can't even pick a favorite. We have only received a few teasers from the wedding so far, but even just those few are so incredible. She is such a genuinely nice person. It is easy to put all of your trust in her to get amazing shots and for you to just enjoy your day. You will not regret booking her for your wedding.
Lauryn is so talented, and so much fun to work with! There are so many amazing photographers to choose from that it was a process to whittling down who we wanted to work with for wedding photography. It's the most high stakes vendor to hire, in my opinion, as the photos are what we will look back on for years and years to come.
We are so pleased with Lauryn's creative vision, and expert skill with her photo equipment. My husband and I really wanted to have the photojournalistic style of wedding photography - we wanted a few posed pictures for our first look and family photos, and after that we really wanted Lauryn to capture the day as it unfolded without pretense and staging. She had so many ideas as we went that showed she really was focused on having her photos show the best representation of our wedding day.
We cannot recommend Lauryn more highly as someone who will work tirelessly to capture, edit, and deliver the best possible photos. She's a true gem!
Seriously love her so much! She was always available with helpful suggestions and a smile. Every request I had was met and beyond! Not only that but her work speaks for itself. Some of the most beautiful photos I've ever seen in my life. I cannot recommend her enough.
Absolute best part of my wedding day was my photographer! My husband and I feel so lucky to have found Lauryn for our wedding day. We had contacted over 20 photographers - based on budget, we interviewed about half of them over the phone. We wanted more candid shots for our wedding and when we spoke to Lauryn, she really seemed to understand our vision and was successful in capturing several weddings in the way we were hoping. We wanted to capture the reality of the wedding – happy tears, stage frightened children, and eye rolls, which she did perfectly! Her passion for photography and her personality match her talent.
When the wedding day arrived, there were so many different directions I was being pulled in and I am so glad my pictures were not something I had to stress about. I spoke with Lauryn prior to the wedding day about certain shots I wanted and she made sure to fit all of them in throughout the day.
As I was getting pictures with the wedding party, Lauryn was very flexible with all the different ideas we came up with on the spot. My husband isn’t into pictures much and she did a phenomenal job making him feel comfortable and capturing some extremely special shots of the two of us.
I would highly recommend Lauryn to anyone looking for a stress-free photography experience. By the end of the day, she felt more like a friend than just a photographer we had hired for our wedding. My pictures are stunning. Her work stands out by a mile, in fact, I have already had multiple people contact me about who I used because of her unique work. Highly recommend!!!!!
