About

So you’ve gotten this far now let me tell you a little about who I am and why I love photographing weddings! I’m a southern girl through and through. I grew up on pickled beets and words like “y’all” and “fixin’”. Art has always been a passion of mine for as far back as I can remember and naturally, it’s what I chose to study in high school and college.

After graduating with a BFA in Photography and Printmaking from Appalachian State in 2009, I moved to sunny Charleston, South Carolina. It wasn’t long after moving that I shadowed a few local photographers and began taking an interest in weddings. Since I went out on my own, weddings have taken me to more cities and countries I have ever imagined; Paris, Cinque Terre, Italy, San Francisco, and Nantucket are just a few of my favorites!

But honestly, your wedding day isn’t just about the details. If there are just a few things that I have learned, it’s that this day will be full of so many incredible moments - laughter, tears of joy, bear hugs, flirty glances and epic dance moves. It’s my goal to capture these moments. I want to make you look and feel more beautiful than you’ve ever felt. And when you’re at some exotic location on your honeymoon and you think to yourself, “man, our wedding day went by way too fast”, I’ll have preserved the beginning of your adventure as a married couple!

Best photographer! OBSESSED with my wedding photos!

Lauren is such an amazing person and photographer! I agree with an earlier review that she is so energetic and welcoming and has that "never met a stranger" personality! My husband and I are from NYC and decided to have a destination wedding in Charleston, so we flew her to NYC for our engagement photos so that we can meet her before the wedding day. It was like meeting an old friend and she made sure to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She is a natural with candid photos and making sure to capture those special moments. She was also absolutely amazing to work with when I postponed my wedding due to COVID and was one of my most understanding vendors. My bridesmaids and family loved working with her during the wedding day and I'm OBSESSED with my wedding photos!

Amazing amazing experience

We are SO grateful for Lauren and her amazing work. We threw together a last minute intimate ceremony due to one of our parents becoming ill. Lauren and her assistant were so flexible and kept a smile on their face the whole time even while it rained. They were both so fun to have around for the day. And then there were the pictures..... I can't even fully express our happiness with the sneak peak pictures we've received. The pictures perfectly captured the emotions and love that filled our day. The fact that my sweet *new* husband has gone out of his way to tell me 4 separate times, "wow.. those pictures are just so good", really speak volumes to Lauren's talent.
