About this vendor
FOR THE HOPELESS ROMANTICS, UNCONVENTIONAL WEDDINGS, AND INTIMATE ELOPEMENTS
I’m here for your unique love story. For the ways you walk the road less traveled, hand in hand, towards an inspiring future full of lived-in love, comfortable silences, and messy moments. For the candid ways you express adoration, like stolen glances across a room, or like reaching for a hand beneath the dinner table. I’m here to capture the precious, rare quality that exists between two people in love, that one that is unique to their relationship and story.
Whether I’m documenting a large wedding or a private elopement, I feel honored to walk the off-beaten path with couples that value connection more than perfection, dreaming of creative ways to make their day as personal as possible. I am constantly in awe of the stories I’m entrusted with, immensely grateful for the opportunity to tell these stories with grace, expert professionalism, and authenticity.

Lauren made the whole photography process smooth and enjoyable for my wedding. She did an excellent job getting rid of the awkwardness that often accompanies photo sessions (not fo...
r me though, I'm a natural. So comfortable in front of the camera. Why would I lie about that?) so my husband and I, along with our families, could enjoy the photo sessions. Her candid photos throughout the ceremony and reception captured the beauty of the day excellently, from crying during the ceremony (Not me or my husband, of course. We didn't cry. We're tough. Other people cried, I mean. Yeah), to cutting a rug with best friends, to those semi-uncomfortable exchanges with second-cousins-once-removed and their babies (what were their names again?). She was very flexible in working with our schedules. She even had a separate couple session the day after the wedding, since my husband and I didn't want to see each other before the ceremony, but didn't want to keep our guests waiting before the reception.
