About

I'm Lauren Cunningham, a wedding and portrait photographer located in the Baltimore/DC area.

A photographer is something I never imagined myself becoming. I graduated college with a degree in Environmental Science and, while I love my job as a natural resources biologist, I wouldn't be complete without photography in my life. What started as a hobby turned into an assistant photographer job for one of my best friends, and now here I am with my own blog and business!

Photography is my passion and creative outlet. It allows me to meet new people and celebrate some of the most amazing moments in their lives with them. I'm in love with love and this job surrounds me with it.......from photographing the look on a grooms face when he first sees his beautiful bride, to photographing a precious sleeping newborn so the proud parents can have an everlasting momento of that fleeting time in their lives. I feel truly blessed with every opportunity I'm given to share in these moments.

So much fun!

Lauren did an amazing job from our engagement photos to our wedding. We had a blast, laughing the whole time. Our photos turned out so natural and truly captured our happiness. Her style was great for my husband who came into the photo experience not being the most comfortable as the center of attention. She put both of us at ease and it showed in the final product. Lauren was also phenomenal with communication and organization in the months leading to the wedding. We could always rely on her to promptly answer our questions in a thorough, professional manner. We could not have been more thrilled and highly recommend Lauren for any photography needs!

Lauren is amazing!

Lauren is the absolute best. Without question we discuss frequently how lucky WE were as a couple to have found HER for our wedding.

1) She takes the time to understand you and what you're looking for from a photographer.

2) She very effectively organizes your day of timeline without making it too rigid.

3) She helped relieve day of wedding stress - even through the 30 family shots, pared down from 60 on the original list.

4) She gives very timely, warranted, and fair advice in a polite way to help you avoid day-of traps that will stress you out.

5) She is 100% part of the reason our day went smoothly.

6) She is extremely responsive even after you hire her, which is something to celebrate. For comparison, we only managed to get our caterer on the phone 2 times before the wedding, which was not ideal.

7) Do you really need 7 reasons? Hire Lauren now. Don't let someone else book her. Stop reading this. GO!

Lauren will literally climb mountains for you! Working with her was an absolute dream! Lauren coordinated closely with my fiancee to photograph his proposal and a surprise engagement session and eagerly and easily navigated the terrain of Great Falls National Park to capture that amazing moment for us. She then totally topped herself for our wedding day with gorgeous shots at every special moment, including a breathtaking "First Look" session at Swallow Falls in Garrett County, Maryland.

In addition to the incredible shots at Swallow Falls, Lauren also captured gorgeous "action shots" during our ceremony and reception. She didn't miss a beat, including during our first dance that had a lot of spins and twirls all over the dance floor. She zipped right along with us! Lauren is very skilled at blending into the background when needed, which creates a relaxed atmosphere making for even more beautiful shots.

Lauren is a wonderful person and a balance of easy-going and efficient -- very important qualities for keeping things organized during wedding elements that can easily turn stressful. It was our absolute pleasure to have Lauren as both our photographer and guest at our wedding. Reach out to her and see for yourself!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
