We had a great experience working with the Indi Collective. They were very responsive to our questions and their photo/video team made both our engagement session and wedding day an incredibly smooth and quick process. We found their package offerings to be the best value for what was included and the quality of their images are top notch!
The Indi Collective was amazing to work with from start to finish! We worked with Lauren for scheduling and planning and she was very responsive and helpful throughout the process. Our lead photographer was Elena Solenkova and she was INCREDIBLE. She did our engagement session in downtown Chicago and absolutely crushed it. The pictures are stunning and she has such a good eye for locations, angles, etc. We are so fortunate to have found The Indi Collective and thankful for all of their work. Our wedding was this past Saturday (August 10th, 2024) at Meyer’s Castle in Dyer, IN and we absolutely cannot wait to see our pictures from the big day. The day of, Elena and her second shooter were so organized, professional, fun, and constantly on the move to get the best shots of our day. We loved working with Lauren, Elena, and the whole team and are so excited to see the wedding photos! I’ll be sure to drop another review when we see them! :) Thank you so much!
Our wedding was in the heart of Chicago and The Indi Collective was the photography team we chose for our big day. Their approach was exactly what we wanted for our city wedding. They captured the energy and elegance of Chicago, blending it seamlessly with the intimate and joyful moments of our celebration. Despite the urban setting, they found ways to make each photo feel personal and full of life. Their skill in making us feel comfortable in front of the camera was incredible. We're not usually fans of the spotlight, but they made it feel natural and fun. The resulting photos are more than we could have hoped for – they're a vibrant and genuine reflection of our love and the spirited ambiance of Chicago. Choosing The Indi Collective was a fantastic decision. They've given us a collection of images that not only capture our day but also the spirit of the city we love. For any Chicago wedding, TIC is the team to hire – their work will make your wedding memories stand out brilliantly.
Any questions?
The Indi team seriously nailed our story, capturing the vibrant energy of West Loop and the genuine moments with our loved ones. Their attention to detail was incredible as they skillfully captured the laughter-filled vows and the lively atmosphere on the dance floor. They made us feel completely at ease throughout the day, turning our once-in-a-lifetime moments into stunning visuals. Thank you so much! Can't wait to do our Anniversary Session photos soon!
We had an amazing experience with Lauren and her team at The Standard for our wedding. Throughout the entire process, everything was executed flawlessly and without any stress. The photos and videos delivered are absolutely breathtaking. We highly recommend The Indi Collective for all your wedding requirements. We would like to express our gratitude to Lauren and the team for making our special day so incredibly beautiful.
We got married right off of the Navy Pier on a Sunset Cruise and hired TIC for both Photography and Videography and I'm SO glad we did!
Our wedding was one of the most memorable and special days of our lives and we wanted everything to be perfect from the location to the decorations to capturing every moment on film and that's why we decided to book both photography and videography.
It truly felt like having friends there with us who knew how to shoot a wedding and you can see that in the amazing shots and footage they captured! They were right there for every part of the day. From candid moments between us to the of the Navy Pier and fireworks!! They truly exceeded our expectations.
The team was professional, yet so fun and easy to work with. They made sure to capture every detail, big and small, and we couldn't be happier with the results. The gallery is so more than just a simple gallery - the layout, the energy, ahh it is all a piece of art that we will cherish forever. Thank you!!
If you have the opportunity, book them! Even months after our wedding, we still get compliments on how our photos and video turned out. We recommend all of our friends who are getting married to them because they are the best in town and we just cannot recommend them enough! You have fans for life and we cannot wait to work with you again!!
Working with Lauren and her team was an absolute blast! I can't even put into words how happy we are with the entire experience. From our first meeting to the wedding day itself, everything just fell into place seamlessly, making the whole journey stress-free and, most importantly, fun! Lauren and her team were seriously on top of their game when it came to being punctual and providing top-notch service. Not only do they create jaw-dropping work, but their communication, professionalism, and support throughout were absolutely fantastic. They played a crucial role in making our wedding day perfect, and we're so grateful for that.
Our wedding at The Starline Factory was everything we dreamed of, and the photos are a testament to that. Our guests cannot stop raving about the photos and how beautiful the final set it! Thank you so much! We highly recommend The Indi Collective!
Thank you Lauren!!!!
The Indi collective saved our day. Our photographer cancelled on us last minute and the company they were hired through was incredibly difficult to deal with trying to find a new one. We reached out to Lauren and within the same day we had all the details ironed out! Emma and Julien showed up and absolutely dominated!!!! They were amazing and our teasers turned out perfect!!! We can’t wait to see the rest!!!
Thanks again for saving our day!
After searching for weeks on end, we finally found the perfect photography team and could not have asked for better photos to capture our special day; they exceeded all of our expectations! Everyone is in awe of how beautiful the pictures turned out, providing us with a lifetime of memories that we can relive over and over again. We are grateful beyond words to have such stunning photographs from one of the most important days in our lives – it made everything even more unforgettable!
My wedding day was truly magical and my photographer and videographer team from this company helped make it an even more special experience. From the start, I could tell that they were highly professional and knowledgeable about their craft, making me feel at ease right away. On the day of the event, they captured every significant moment in stunning clarity, sound, and color, from the first kiss to the last dance. They even navigated downtown with ease, finding all of the perfect spots for photos and video. It was truly a pleasure working with them and I couldn't be happier with how our wedding turned out!
This wedding photography/videography team was an absolute force to be reckoned with! Their eye for detail and creative vision made our final product one that we will cherish forever. Highly recommend!
We cannot recommend working with Lauren at The Indi Collective highly enough! Our wedding was this past April, and the whole experience was beyond what we could have expected. We had a logistically trickier situation than most- we had our engagement photos taken in DC, with a wedding in Chicago. Lauren was able to help coordinate both locations, and we ended up with two sets of photos that exceeded all of our expectations. Even though we had two separate photographers, since Lauren edited both sets they compliment each other when displayed in our house. Lauren is extremely organized and easy to communicate with. We got so many compliments from our friends and family about the ultimate results. We were lucky to also work with Indie for our films, which also exceeded our expectations. If you are reading this, you should definitely reach out to the team .. it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day!!!!!
Simply AMAZING!! So, my experience is a bit different that other reviews you will read. Sometimes life takes an unexpected turn and doesn't go as planned. I hired The Indi Collective but wasn't able to actually use their services, as much as I was looking forward to it. My wedding got canceled just 4 days before the event and the way that Lauren and her sister, Christina, handled the situation was understanding and compassionate. Contractually they didn't have to do anything and could have looked past the situation and turned a blind eye to the circumstances. They did the exact opposite. I was, and still am, completely blown away by how Lauren handled everything and it speaks volumes of her as a person and the business she runs! She's truly a wonderful person and I can't recommend working with her and The Indi Collective enough! If I could give 10/5 stars, that still wouldn't be good enough!
We searched through so many photographers until we found Lauren! Her expertise in helping us pick out the perfect package for us was so helpful. We are able to have constant contact with her and are so excited for our wedding day! The process of getting the perfect photography package has been amazing!
We don't have enough words to describe how happy we are with working with Lauren and her team. The whole experience - from our engagement session through the actual wedding day was so fun and easy that everything just went so smoothly and stress free! They are very punctual and the service is top notch! Not only is their work amazing, but their communication, professionalism and support is fantastic. They really made the day perfect. Her work is soooo phenomenal that it was challenging to pick the pictures we wanted for our photo album. We loved and want them all! I cannot thank them enough and will surely recommend and hire them for any future phone needs. Thank you again!
Our wedding was a dream come true and we really owe it all to Lauren and her team! They exceeded every expectation we had for our big day and made my husband (who hates taking pictures lol) actually have fun with it and have a great time! The pictures turned out so great that all of our friends won't stop saying how we missed our calling being models ;-) Lauren and team, I can't thank you all enough. You truly are amazing people inside and out!
We recently just got married and made the easy decision to work with Lauren and her team, and WOW! Not only were they so organized and helpful throughout the entire process of planning our wedding, but they even sent over tips and created a timeline for us, which allowed the day to run so smooth! They are super talented and took so many gorgeous photos that truly captured the feel of our wedding day in a candid/nature way but still sooo romantic. I can NOT stop crying looking at how perfect these photos are!!!
When our wedding crew asked if we would be willing to leave a review for them it was a no brainer and I knew exactly what I wanted to say! Book them before they book up if you want the most fun loving, kick butt and talented team at your wedding! I literally had such a blast with our them and have some of the best memories from our wedding day with them!!!
We had a great time working with you! Thank you so much for being so easy to be around, putting up with our crazy friends and families, keep the day flowing and making sure we got photos of us dancing well into the night! We had so much fun time and cannot wait to work with you again!
Lauren and the entire crew at Indi Soul Photography were AMAZING. We signed up for the photographer and videographer package but weren't able to afford adding on additional staff to capture different views of the day. On the day they brought a whole crew of people - to the point where I lost count of how many photographers and videographers there were. We got so many positive comments from other guests on the day and long after the wedding being pleasantly surprised with how many photographers and videographers there were. The team were incredibly easy to work with and always checked into see how we were holding up even while taking photos / videos. Our guests also felt they were warm and friendly. The photos and video turned out amazing. There isn't one thing I could critique. They truly went above and beyond what was asked and I will always strongly recommend them to anyone.
The indi collective felt like I was hanging out with my old friends. I was comfortable, able to completely let go and once they arrived all of the nerves that I had built up in my head about what a ‘shoot’ would mean completely went away. We listened to music, we danced, we drank champagne and we got the most incredible photos of me and my husband we have ever had taken in our relationship. Thank you so much guys! You rock!
As crazy and as hectic as the day was Lauren and her team managed to rally us all together for photos with family, friends and the bridal party. She was extremely professional and made us all feel comfortable and at ease . I look forward to seeing the wedding portfolio.
Professional, timely and an absolute blast to work with. Lauren took over from the time she arrived and ensured all aspects of the shoot were handled as we discussed. The pictures turned out amazing and we couldn’t recommend her enough.
Seriously I can not say enough about Lauren and how amazing she is. She captured the most AMAZING moments on my wedding day and couldn't have made us feel more comfortable. During a long day of stress, it was wonderful having Lauren around putting me at ease, even when it started to POUR down rain. We had so many laughs and honestly my favorite memories were during our couples shoot with Lauren. Don't even question it. Lauren is the most humble and lovely boho wedding photographer EVER.
This is the only review you need to read. My wife and I are not ones for paparazzi, but Lauren made us feel very comfortable and captured amazing moments that really portrayed the true us. Lauren is truly extraordinary and she made my wife happy which is all I really care about. She was the first and least stressful vendor we chose for our big day... and simply the best. Take some stress off those eyes and stop scrolling and book Lauren as your photographer. She's freaking awesome.
My wife was stressed about the timeline for our wedding day since we chose to have our first look be at the altar giving us little time for our photo session. Lauren showed extreme professionalism, kindness, and expertise in structuring our whole timeline to give us as much time with the Indi collective team as possible, while still maintaining a good flow to the party. The day of our wedding was unfortunately the day the devastating wildfires broke out in the Los Angeles area which really threw a wrench in the works for everyone involved. Due to the fires we were very limited on places to take photos and nervously settled for a patch of trees and succulents in front of an apartment building. We rolled with it and waited for the final result, let me just say the photos are stunning and unique and more than we could have ever hoped for. Indi Collective took a terrible situation and created something beautiful out of nothing. Trust these artists, as we did, and you wont be disappointed. We will use them for every milestone in our lives and hope one day to meet Lauren in person!
Hi Brides! My husband and I actually picked Lauren and the Indi Collective first out of everything for our wedding because we agreed that photography was our number 1 priority. After all the dieting and spray tanning and picking out all the perfect details for every moment of your night it truly is (like they say) over in a FLASH! The team captured every nook and cranny of our wedding (even a lot of things that I didn’t get to truly see) and gave us all those memories and more to keep forever. Before the big day Lauren responded quickly to all my questions which was especially key because our venue was in an industrial area which didn’t give us any *dreamy* settings to take photos… I was in complete panic mode, but luckily I had Lauren there every step of the way to talk me down and re assure me that her team could make it work and not to worry. And guess what! She was right. Our photos are stunning and we couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you Lauren and Indi Collective for taking such good care of your clients and giving us all the most stunning memories to last us a lifetime.
My fiancé and I were looking to book an enegagment shoot while we were on vacation in Hawaii. Lauren was so accommodating and had so many suggestions in mind for the best places to take pictures on the island of Oahu. From the moment we got to the shoot, she made us feel so comfortable and was so easy going! My fiancé is pretty shy, so by him being able to open up and have a good experience- it is just proof of how great of a photographer she is. The pictures turned out beautiful and I am so happy we were able to capture the experience under such short notice! ✨
Me and my wife used Lauren and her associates for our wedding and engagement photos and they were awesome! We went into the experience not knowing what to expect because we had never had our photos professionally taken before, but we left our engagement session with smiles on our faces and had a great time goofing around and acting like we were kids again.
I hired Lauren’s associate team to shoot my wedding last fall and the photos were more than I ever could’ve expected! I found Lauren through Instagram and knew immediately I needed her style photography for me my husband’s big day! Being camera shy it was important to find a photographer who had a very candid style that felt natural and in the moment rather than extremely traditional and posed! The photographers were exactly that and felt more like friends than anything!! They captured our love and who were are as a couple perfectly and I couldn’t be happier with the photos! I highly recommend! I loved everything about the photographers and my photos!
My husband and I planned a destination wedding, which was so scary. We had no way to meet with our vendors in person and have that time face to face. I had spoken with several photographers and never felt a connection with any of them. Our conversations were short (maybe 15 minutes or less) and I felt like I had to lead the conversations. That was difficult since I did not know what to ask. I was so nervous that we were going to have to settle for somebody and be unhappy. When I spoke with Lauren it was completely different. We spoke for OVER an hour and I felt like I was speaking to somebody that was my best friend for years. She was informative, honest, personable and she immediately made me realize that she was "the one". I learned details about her and her personal life- which made me feel like I was more than just another client. Lauren and her team were AMAZING. We had fun, were comfortable and love the memories that we have received from them that we can look back at for the rest of our lives. I have so many good things to say that just doesn't do her any justice. I am so thankful to have found her. I am so confident that speaking with her, everybody else will have those same feelings that I did.
Lauren is the best! We had a great time with her team and love our pictures!
Lauren is an amazing photographer. She was easy to work with and took fantastic pictures. I seriously cant recommend her enough.
My wife and I hired Lauren to photograph our destination wedding in Hawaii and she was fantastic! She was well-organized and very professional, yet approachable and made the day more comfortable. I highly recommend!
Lauren was so amazing to work with, I am SOOO happy we chose her to document our day! From the beginning, she was very professional yet it felt like we were best friends! She was so easy to communicate with and all of our info (contract, questionnaires) were in the same place, which was so helpful! I had a few funky ideas for our ceremony, and she was so supportive and excited for the challenge! On the wedding day, she was punctual and professional, but again felt like one of my friends there enjoying the day with us! She was soo sweet and easy to work with. The photo process was easy and fun, everyone kept talking about how great she and her the second shooter were! On top of the wonderful experience of working with her on the wedding day, she sent us previews way sooner than I expected, and they were SO BEAUTIFUL and a perfect representation of our day!! My husband and I had a destination wedding in Hawaii and the biggest thing we wanted was for everyone to have fun, and she captured the celebration and genuine joy so perfectly! I literally can’t help but smile when looking at our photos :) I’m still so obsessed and everyone that has seen them can’t stop raving! I am so so glad we found Lauren, I would highly recommend her to anyone!!!
I really can't say enough nice things about Lauren & Indi Soul. Like other photographers we interviewed, Lauren was extremely professional and asked all of the important questions. Like others, she also gave us a very accurate overview of how she likes to run her shoot. But she has has something extra: Lauren has a calm a friendly energy that I recognized immediately. like most brides, so I knew I wanted a photographer with a calm and professional energy who I could trust to do the job I was hoping for. She delivered just as I expect. She stay on task the whole day and evening and got all the pictures I wanted without worry. You really want things you don't have to worry about that day, it's a big plus.
Most important, our needs were always top priority. Meaning that, she never got irritated when we went off script or demand to do it her way. Instead she offered us a structure of how to execute the photo in a timely manner, but was also flexible at all times. This is what I mean about being a calm energy on the big day. Some photographers gave me an impression that they like to be a drill sergeant, but Lauren and her team are a great balance of helping you stay on track but not making you feel like the world is going to end if something doesn't go your way. I guess you could say it is sort of like the royal treatment - nothing you do is wrong and she is there to support you. And don't you deserve that on your big day?
I also will say, isn't the price right? I honestly feel that you get more than pay for with Lauren and Indi Soul. And everyone loves a deal. I say this because her work is beautiful and professional looking.
We purchased a package with 2 photographers for eight hours and the photo book. I wanted all of the cute "getting ready" photos as well as photos lasting into the dancing hour. At the end of it all, I got every shot I wanted. So again, a great deal!
Let's talk about style! Indi soul has a beautiful editorial looking style. These aren't just photos of you and your family with good lighting. They're photos that make you feel like you could be in a magazine. Which again, who doesn't want to feel like a star/queen when they get their photos back.
Lastly, I had a big wish from Lauren that she totally delivered on, and you can see the photos in my post. I wanted to do a "photo shoot" with my brides maids. Not just us standing on the cliffs or in a forest, but a photo shoot with props. I wanted to look like we belonged in Vouge (Yes I am extra). I bought all the props and went to a 3rd location (besides our getting ready area and the venue). Lauren was very supportive of my vision and made it happen. You don't have to be as extra on me on your big day, and honestly you don't need to if you hire Indi Soul, but again this goes to her supportive & calm spirit. She was on board with my idea from the beginning until the end.
In the end I got SO MANY gorgeous photos that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Weather your having a big, medium or even small intimate wedding, you can not go wrong with hiring Indi Soul.
I wish you the best in your journey for wedding planning. And remember, you're about to declare to the world that you found someone you never want to leave your side, so rest your self!
PS - My wedding is very DIY. I made all the flowers, the arch, and decorations myself. But they look professional in these pictures!! :)
It’s hard to find the right words to describe my experience working with Lauren. I hired her to photograph our wedding in Santa Barbara earlier this month and it was the best decision I made throughout the entire planning process. Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer but she was a dream to work with. The day of our wedding Lauren was punctual, professional, & so much fun. My husband and I intuitively felt safe and comfortable with Lauren it felt like we were working with a friend we had known for years. Her guidance and time management were perfection we did not miss a single shot. For example, she asked us to reenact our first kiss because we were off center during the ceremony and it is our favorite photo from the day. Lauren emailed us our sneak peek within a few days after the wedding and they brought us both to tears, we seriously couldn’t be happier with the results. Lauren is a dream to work with, passionate about her photography and will exceed all your expectations.
I honestly wish there was more than five starts to rate Lauren on because I absolutely love her. I booked Lauren earlier in the year when I got engaged and got so lucky because she had 1 more opening for 2017. I seriously think it was a blessing that day that I had the chance to book her. Just by looking at her photography, you already know her work is amazing. But as a person, Lauren is one of the sweetest, genuine souls I have ever met. I was so incredibly happy with my engagement shoot that I couldn't wait for the wedding day to come in November for her to shoot my wedding. Photography is always hard because most couples always feel awkward at first, but not with Lauren! She made us feel so comfortable and natural that it made the experience really great. Words can't explain how thankful I am for her, because not only did I get amazing photos of the most important day of my life, but I gained a friend through the process as well. If you want a kickass photographer, book Lauren!
My coordinator referred me to Lauren after telling her I wanted something special and unique when it came to photography. She replied with, "ohhh I have the perfect person for you" and boy was she right! I wanted my photos to be different and have character and I got everything I wanted and more! They were so romantic and moody and absolute perfection!!
Thank you for an amazing experience and wonderful photos!! I had an amazing time working with you and can't for you to shoot our anniversary photos next year!!
Lauren not only takes breathtaking pictures, but she is also a great person and had the perfect energy for our wedding. We had a pretty non-traditional wedding with lots of shenanigans and she captured the essence of our day better than I could've ever imagined. She has a positive, down for anything type attitude and I loved working with her and her assistant!!
Lauren had us rolling laughing with her crazy stories and jokes throughout our entire session with her! I loved her energy and she made me so comfortable and relaxed! I am ecstatic about the outcome our photos- they're playful and fun and romantic and candid and so just US! I love them! Thank you again x a million.
With love,
Toni
Such a fun photographer and crew! They totally embraced me and my hubby‘s craziness and our bridal party’s and had a blast with us! Love her, her photos and work ethic!! Thank you so much Lauren!!
I looked forever for someone I connected with who also shared the same sort of aesthetic that I wanted for my wedding photos and I found that here. As an untraditional couple who were doing things the least traditionally way possible, I felt like Lauren got my vibe and was the perfect person to have alongside me on my day. My photos are so beautiful, so unique, so fun, so me and I LOVE them!!!
I had a destination wedding and used Lauren and her team to capture it and the photos turned out absolutely stunning!! She was such a gem to work with and accommodated to my every need, like getting me water or holding my train when my husband wasn't there, she offered me snacks when she overheard me saying how I starving I was and just did simple things a bride doesn't expect from their photographer! You are so appreciated!! The teasers we received were absolutely flawless and we can't wait to use you for anniversary photos when we visit in the future!!
I got my wedding photos back last week and I literally can not stop looking at them and showing them to everyone! They are absolutely beautiful and everything I have ever dreamed of! Thank you so SO much Lauren and your wonderful team!!
I hired Lauren after being referred to her from one of my girlfriends that used her for her wedding and was so pleased at how responsive she was via email and on the phone and how much she worked with me. She helped me iron out my timeline, spoke with my coordinator, edited more images than I expected and went out of her way throughout the entire process to make me feel at ease. I wish I was getting married every year and would hire her again and again and again! I highly recommend her to anyone who is getting married and wants someone who is extremely talented, easy to work with, super organized and fun!
Lauren was the best money we spent for our wedding. She was SO sweet and easy to work with, she made everyone comfortable throughout the hectic picture taking time. Our package came with an engagement set that we werent sure we would have time to do, I am SO happy we made the time for it. It gave us a good change to get to know Lauren before the big day and she did an amazing job of catching my new husband and I just being ourselves with each other.
If you're looking for a wedding photographer, this is the one! She is so personable and really made an effort to make a connection with us before shooting. Not to mention, her work is absolutely stunning! I have had so many friends say that our pictures look like they could be in a magazine. We had a small, intimate wedding, and her works reflects that in a beautiful way. Oh, and her pricing is very reasonable. We wanted to stay within our budget, and she worked with us to give us exactly what we were looking for. Lauren, we cannot thank you enough!
The feeling you receive from your wedding photos is something no one can fully describe! Warmth though, is a good place to start. Lauren was so professional and comforting. She made my wedding experience easy and care free (something that is pretty hard when you're on the actual day). It was never weird or awkward although I am not someone who likes to have their picture taken! She worked with suggestions/requests and brought her own take from experience. Whimsical, artistic, thoughtful, and fun and loving. Just a few ways to describe the photos that will last a lifetime and the photographer who shared my special day with me.
Lauren Rocks!! The wedding photos she delivered truly captured the essence we were looking for and I'm so looking forward to working with her again in the near future!!

As a bride who loved the planning process, I really appreciated all the time Lauren invested in helping me with my timeline to make sure everything I wanted got captured! She gave me a shot list to fill out ahead of time which made things go so smooth on the actual day and was in communication with my wedding coordinator. She knew exactly what I wanted out of this entire experience and delivered so much more!! I can’t thank you enough and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent wedding photographer!!
Your wedding photographer should feel like your best friend and someone who completely gets you and how you want your overall wedding experience to be! Their involvement should put you at complete ease and bring out the best in you and this is why I hired Lauren! She was was extremely professional and personable and I had a lovely experience working with her!!
Lauren did our engagement photos when I was visiting family in LA and I am blown away. Her work is truly amazing and one of a kind. I wanted something off-beat and untraditional - unlike those posed bright typical photos and she exceeded my expectations. She made us feel so comfortable and captured some amazing "in the moment" shots. Highly recommend.
I hired Lauren for my wedding last fall in the forest! I was drawn to her work because most of her weddings I'd seen were outdoors and had a similar ambiance to the wedding I was planning! Our wedding was very intimate and I was blown away by the pictures because as small as our wedding was, she made it seem like the most majestic and special event ever!!! Nadia D
I hired Lauren to shoot my engagement and wedding pictures and am obsessed with the way they turned out! I love the rich and warm hues the color pictures have and how mood evoking the black & whites feel! Lauren captured our day perfectly and I can't wait to use her again in the future for our anniversary!
Lauren is amazing! She went above and beyond for us on our wedding day and still continued to do so afterwards. Lauren was the perfect match for Aaron and I's "go-with-the-flow" personalities. She captured moments of our true selves which is what we cherish the most in our relationship. Thank you so MUCH for sharing tears, a lot of laughter, and love with us! We are looking forward to working with Lauren again!
Much Love and Appreciation,
Alicia Andres :)
I met Lauren a couple years back at my best friend’s wedding and we totally hit it off! We literally had the same style, similar personalities and just everything. When it came time for me to plan my own wedding, I already knew who I wanted to hire. We had our wedding at a private estate and the theme was a bohemian backyard wedding. Having been familiar with her and seeing the way she shot my friend’s wedding, I knew she was the right choice for us. I feel like she went out of her way to take pictures she knew would be really important to me later. For instance, I was obsessed with these dreamcatchers I had handmade for our wedding and at sunset she pulled me and my husband aside and got pictures of us with the dreamcatchers, sun setting in the background and it was windy and ahh it just turned out so whimsical and dreamy!!!
I highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for someone who is kick butt and so much more than just a wedding photographer!! We booked Lauren to shoot our wedding last year and for our engagement session, she drove all the way out to our venue in Napa to help make my vision come to life. Since most of our relatives were flying to our wedding from out of state, we really wanted our invitations to feel inviting and include pictures of us at our actual wedding venue. Lauren went out of her way to make it happen and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera with her personality and artistic input! I loved all of our engagement photos and the wedding ones were even better! 5 stars all around!
