About

I pride myself in providing an exceptional Bridal Experience from start to finish. That process begins as soon as my Bride signs her contract. From our complimentary Bridal Guide to numerous blog posts that will help you prep for your engagement session, I am here to serve as a resource! When I tell you that wedding days are my passion, I MEAN it. It is my favorite part of my business. With over 10+ years of experience of wedddings in the Northwest Indiana area, I have seen it all. The experiences and relationships I have made with my E&L couples go way beyond the wedding day. They become my friends and I get to photograph and watch their families grow!
To ensure I am providing the very best experience, I only allow myself to take on 15 weddings a year. With that being said, it’s never too early to inquire about your wedding date!

Pictures more beautiful than I could have ever imagined

I can't say enough good things about hiring Lauren and our second shooter, Megan, for our wedding. Lauren made the planning process so flawless (we rescheduled x2 due to COVID) and took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for from our photos. As a high energy bunch, I was hoping for a large number of candid photos which both photographers made sure to incorporate for us. Lauren went above and beyond on our wedding day to keep our family and bridal party organized and on time according to our schedule. I just got back my preview pictures (within 48 hours of our wedding) and every single photo is absolutely stunning! I can't say enough good things about our experience. Thank you thank you thank you Lauren :)

Amazing, no need to look further!

I am beyond happy with my experience with Lauren. She is very understanding and reliable. The day of my wedding was one of the first snow storms of the new year. Lauren made sure to allow herself extra time to get to my venue on time and she was dressed and willing to do outside pictures in the snow despite the wind and freezing temps! The entire bridal party as well as my husband and I had a great time during pictures with her. We did a first look and it took the stress off of taking pictures after the ceremony. We shared so many laughs and had a great time the entire time! I would definitely recommend E&L Photography for your special occasion! I love the quality of my pictures and I am extremely happy with my experience. I could not wait to see them after the wedding!

E&L Photography is absolutely fantastic. It was such a great experience working with Lauren from start to finish. Lauren was extremely helpful with scheduling the wedding day of events and helped to keep me/wedding party on track and on time. Lauren is so easy to work with, she made everyone feel comfortable. You can tell that she is extremely passionate and she loves what she does. All of the pictures that we have seen so far have been absolutely stunning, she also captured so many great and important moments throughout the day. E & L Photography was better than I could have ever imagined and we are so lucky to have found them. I would recommend to anyone, I am hoping my cousin books E&L for her wedding next year!

Lauren is amazing!! She really has a great eye and has obvious talent in her profession. She worked closely with us and was totally able to catch our personailties in her photos--and aside from the already great editing and high res images, it gives the final product that extra special touch which really makes her work stand out! She was very flexible with arrangements-especially helpful to us as we were coming from put of town. Has a variety of packages available and also willing to help you create a custom package to fit your needs and budget which is what we did. Top notch quality work! Would recommend to anyone 10/10

Lauren did the photos for my wedding. I could not have asked for a better photographer. She has the best eye at capturing the moment. When it came to planning she would always ask if I had any questions and if I did they were always answered extremely fast. Lauren isn’t just an amazing photographer she is a great person. She even helped me find a DJ for my wedding!!!! She is seriously the best ever! If you are looking for a photographer you can’t go wrong with E&L Photography!!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
