About

Being in front of a camera can feel awkward AF, trust me I know. Luckily, I know exactly what to do and say to make you feel natural while we take romantic photographs together.

I'm Lauren, a hopeless romantic who is inspired by love and the world around me. As a wedding photographer in Minneapolis, MN and beyond, my mission is to cultivate kindness and spread positivity through romantic, visceral, and soulful photographs that stand the test of time.

I spend time getting to know my clients in order to create a relationship that's built on trust. I provide simple direction for my clients so that they feel comfortable and confident in front of my camera. With calm, supportive energy and Spiderman-like senses, I capture my clients naturally by finding their authentic and candid moments within posed ones. I believe your photographs should be as extraordinary as you are.

Perfect! Perfect! Perfect!

Lauren was definitely more amazing than words can describe! She's easy to get along with (my husband is more shy and I'm pretty loud so she was able to handle us both😂), she is quick at responding, she is flexible EVEN with a pandemic, and she takes jaw dropping photos!! I cannot recommend her enough!

The most amazing photographer a bride could ask for!

Lauren is the most amazing photographer I could have asked for. She photographed both my engagement and wedding photos. Lauren helped me through planning and cancelling two separate weddings during Covid. I ended up getting married in a small backyard wedding on my original date and she was there to take photos we a place holder until our rescheduled date. When this also got cancelled she came up with a plan to take photos with our wedding party on my one year anniversary. You won’t find a photographer who cares more about you, or is more responsive. She is honestly the best decision I could have made for my wedding, and I couldn’t have imagined it without her! Ryan and I are so very grateful for you!

Lauren and her team are amazing!

I went to the wedding fair 2 years before my wedding just for ideas and I fell in love with her style of photography. She was so sweet and kind when I walked up to her booth, she asked what I was looking for in a photographer and I said “I wanna look hot!” She made that happen haha the photos I received from her were beyond amazing and she made the experience with me and my girls so easy and comfortable! I also had several family members say how professional and sweet she was! I would HIGHLY recommend her and her team!

Wedding Review

Lauren + her team were simply INCREDIBLE! We booked with Lauren over two years ago, and during the two years, she checked in on us and made us feel like she was genuinely excited to capture our big day. When it came to our big day, Lauren went above and beyond. She captured the "common" pictures and the "little moments" in-between, like pictures of our parents crying during the ceremony. Most importantly, Lauren made my husband, and I feel SO comfortable. She cracked jokes during the couple's portraits and family photos. Lauren made us feel comfortable being goofy and our authentic selves. A common review that I have received from family members and guests after the wedding was "how wonderful our photographer was!" I could rave about Lauren and her stunning work on and on. She will be our forever photographer for future holiday or family photos!

Great photographer

Lauren was wonderful to work with. She managed to wrangle a lot of people in a very short amount of time for photos during the family photo session; it was no easy task to keep everyone focused. She makes it very easy to pose so you don't feel too silly about what you are doing. I appreciated her warm but action orientated nature during our engagement and wedding shoot. She was a great photographer to work with.

Absolutely fantastic photographer - hire Lauren!

Lauren is fantastic to work with. On the day of Brendan and Sam's wedding, it was unusually cold for the time of year, but Lauren did a fabulous job at taking photos of the family and the couple without it seeming cold at all. She's so kind, heartwarming and welcoming, and overall a wonderful vendor to work alongside. Highly recommend her for your day!

Wonderful Photographer!


We had an amazing experience working with Lauren on our wedding day! She made me and my husband feel totally comfortable in front of the camera and perfectly captured our day. You can truly tell that Lauren loves what she does. She is highly organized and even provided us with a detailed day-of timeline that really helped us keep everything on track. Her photos are beautiful and we couldn’t be happier! We cannot recommend Lauren enough!

Best experience ever

Everyone says that the best investment you can make for your wedding is your photographer, and we definitely hit the jackpot with Lauren. Lauren perfectly captured the laughter, love, and light of our October wedding and we are so grateful she was a part of our day. She was able to roll with unexpected changes without skipping a beat, and kept large group photos well organized and a ton of fun. She flawlessly captured both the big, important moments as well as the quieter, more intimate moments. Her editing style is timeless and she gave us so many "favorite" pictures. We are going to recommend Lauren to all of our friends and family and will definitely use her for any future photos.

Attentive, artful and quirky

Lauren was amazing! She spent time with us in advance to learn about our personalities and to capture the feeling we wanted from our wedding photos. She somehow managed to be everywhere all at once and captured some of the most spontaneous and beautiful moments of our day. Her eye for capturing the scene and the mood resulted in the most gorgeous photos. We were thoroughly pleased with every aspect of her work!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
