best photographer EVER!

Lauren is one of those people you meet and immediately think “how are they so talented??” Lauren is truly amazing at what she does. From our engagement session to our sneak peeks after our wedding, my husband and I have been in awe. She takes your special moments and captures them so beautifully. We haven’t received our full wedding album (August 2025 wedding), but we already know they will be everything we have dreamed of. Aside from her photography skills, Lauren is someone you want with you on your wedding day. She is calm and makes you feel at ease and genuinely seems to have an awesome time as well! We loved her and know you will too!

Best of the best photographer!

Lauren did an absolutely amazing job for our engagement and wedding photos! She's kind, calm, and encouraging. She captured our ceremony beautifully (we didn't even notice her there!), she handled our big, bustling family with ease (including 2 babies) and then came up with creative ideas for our couples photos. She captured great shots throughout our reception. Our pictures came out even more beautiful than we could've imagined! We are so thankful we hired her - highly recommend!

Hire Lauren! She is amazing

Lauren was SO amazing to work with for both our engagement shoot and our wedding photos. She is not only an extremely talented photographer but also a very fun person to be around. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and captured all the moments as they naturally happened. She is extremely responsive and easy to work with, she traveled quite a distance for both our engagement shoot and our wedding and we are so grateful for that. Lauren's work is absolutely stunning.

The Most Stunning Photos Ever!

Wow! My husband and I knew that Lauren would be the perfect fit for our wedding from seeing her style on instagram, but we didn’t realize how easy she would make our entire experience. From the planning process, to the day of the wedding, Lauren showed us why she is so popular within the wedding industry. We were so comfortable on the wedding day during each and every shot. Lauren even got us our sneak peaks a couple of days following our wedding, and we were speechless. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Lauren for any wedding, but make sure to get on her books early! She’s popular for a reason!

Dream Photographer

We met Lauren a few years ago when she offered couples mini sessions and have worked with her ever since. She was at the top of our list for wedding photographers, so we were thrilled she was available for our wedding date and that she was open to travel! We had a great pre-wedding session that was a bit of an adventure and Lauren was up for the challenge! We had a number of other sessions including a welcome party, the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. It was a very busy two days and Lauren captured it all perfectly.

We had sneaks the morning after the wedding and her turn around time for the entire wedding gallery was so quick!

Family has mentioned over and over how much they enjoyed having her at the wedding, how nice she was, and how amazing the pictures turned out!

Lauren is extremely organized, professional, kind, fun, personable, easy going and we absolutely recommend her for your pictures!

Easygoing perfection!

Lauren is fantastic! She has a wonderful style that suited us perfectly. We loved her humor and kindness, and appreciated how effortless she made everything. We continue to be obsessed with our photos! (Plus who doesn't love some fantastic black and white photos to make you feel like a movie star?!)

Warm and Talented Wedding Photographer!

Lauren is obviously an incredibly talented photographer and her work speaks for itself, but more importantly she is a kind and warm person..traits crucial to someone who is by your side on a nerve wracking day. If you’re not totally comfortable having your picture taken (like me) she’ll make you feel at ease and enjoy the experience.

I am very close with my 90 year old grandmother, who at the last minute couldn’t make it down to where we were taking family photos – Knowing this, Lauren made sure to pull us away later in the day to take pictures with her..something that I would’ve otherwise overlooked on the whirlwind that is your wedding day. These pictures are some of the most precious to me. Lauren is organized, real, and has amazing taste (something you can’t fake!). I had saved some of Lauren’s work when I came across her Instagram because I was drawn to the organic and joyful moments she captures. After losing my grandpa during COVID, I wanted to make sure I invested more in photography. I'm grateful I did because my husband and I have beautiful family photos from a 2021 wedding we weren’t sure would even happen! She *gets* who you are as a couple and her work reflects it. For example, my husband lost his dad when he was young and we had a framed picture of him that we brought with us throughout the day. Lauren captured this..without us even mentioning it. I am so grateful she took those!

It’s worth mentioning that we first met Lauren after she drove half an hour up a sketchy dirt road to meet us at the top of a mountain in Utah..! My husband spent most of his twenties in Park City, Utah and when I saw she would be out there last summer, I asked if she could take our engagement photos there. Although she wasn’t from the area she scouted a beautiful location with amazing views of a place with lots of meaning to us. This being said, Lauren goes above and beyond, she's confident, and I’m thankful to have had her document the most important day of our lives!

Intimate Wedding

We first met Lauren for a pre-wedding snow shoot. Unfortunately, weather didn't cooperate, but we still were amazed with the beauty she captured in our photos. She was very professional, flexible and above all, personable. We are not the most confident in front of the camera but she made us feel at ease and we had so much fun capturing our moments together. We HAD TO hire her for our wedding day and were amazed with the results. We received photo sneak previews just a few days after and we able to share these with family members who were not able to attend the wedding. She captured our emotions and surroundings in a way that made the photos feel as if you were there, even down to the smallest details that you would never have thought of. We will definitely use her services in the future and highly recommend Lauren and her services.

Lauren is the best!

From the initial consultation, I knew that Lauren would be a great fit to be our wedding photographer. She is professional, kind, accomodating, and very responsive with any and all questions I've had along the way! Lauren shot both our engagement session and wedding and my husband and I absolutely love both galleries. I loved that fact that right after our wedding we received a generous amount of sneak previews too! It made us so excited to get the entire album back and she delivered it right on time as promised. We now have gorgeous photos that we will cherish forever. Lauren captured our personalities beautifully. We are so happy that we chose Lauren and we most definitely recommend her to everyone!

A Must-Hire!!!

After my fiance and I decided to get married in 2021, reaching out to Lauren was one of the first things we did. After seeing her photos on instagram, I was blown away by how authentic each one felt. Each looked like a snapshot into each couple, and captured truly authentic, intimate moments. Her work is just beautiful, and I knew it was the perfect look for our day. What I didn't know is how AMAZING Lauren is outside of just her insane talent! Once we met her for our engagement session, I knew she had amazing energy for our wedding. She is calming and funny and really encourages you to be yourself in front of the camera. Once we got our engagement session photos back, I was blown away. Then the planning really started! Lauren was very organized, helpful, and FLEXIBLE throughout the planning for the wedding day. And when I say flexible, I really mean it. Two weeks before our wedding, our entire plan fell apart, as we found out that our venue was no longer going to be able to accommodate us. Though I was panicking, when I talked to Lauren, she made me feel instantly better. She let us know that she would show up, wherever it was happening, on the day, and we would make it work. And she did exactly that! She has such a great presence and it felt like having her with us that day was having another friend there just taking paparazzi shots of us! When I look back at the photos I can feel every moment. There was such joy captured in all of them and I could not be happier that she was there to be with us. She is truly a must-hire - we cannot recommend her enough!!!
