Truly Wonderful Wedding Photographer

One of the easiest decisions my husband and I ever made about our wedding was booking Lauren McGarry Photography for our special day! We met Lauren at a Wedding Expo in Albany, NY as we were on our way out the door and I am so glad we stopped to talk with her. Lauren's photographs were stunning & her albums were sleek and beautiful. She is such a nice and down to earth person, who took the time to know us as a couple and made sure she was able to capture all of the big and small moments of our wedding day. The day of our wedding was gloomy and storms were right on top of us, but we didn't stress because Lauren was so accommodating and took charge of where we could go so we still got great photos. At the end of the night, she even stood out in the rain to capture beautiful rooftop, stormy pictures overlooking the city of Troy, NY. I would definitely recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a truly wonderful photographer!

So perfect!

Lauren was so easy to work with for our December 2021 wedding and has the sweetest demeanor. We had to reschedule our original wedding date due to COVID and she was more than accommodating.

On the day of she couldnt have been sweeter or more professional. Have seen a couple sneak peek photos that look incredible and cant wait to see the rest.

She's the best and wouldn't hesitate to work with her again in the future!!

Amazing Experience

Lauren was absolutely amazing! As a Covid bride/groom, there were constantly changes being made in our plans. Lauren was flexible, responsive, and very understanding during these uncertain times. She was professional, enthusiastic, creative and very sincere. My husband (who hates having his pictures taken) said how easy Lauren made the process and how comfortable she made him feel. The quality of Lauren's work is absolutely beautiful and everyone who has seen our pictures is gushing over her work. We would highly recommend Lauren to anyone!
