The search for a wedding photographer was somewhat accidental. I was scrolling through Instagram and stumbled across Lauren’s page, which highlighted that she shot both in film and digital. I had a personal preference and love for film photography, but it is hard to find in a digital era! I didn’t really search beyond Lauren. I had followed along with her social media long enough that I knew she was ‘the one’! It also helped that she was a Pittsburgh based photographer and that is where my husband is from. I wanted to incorporate as much of his hometown as possible- even in non-traditional ways! One thing that made Lauren stand out against other photographers was that all her brides looked different. It was important to me that somebody I worked with was comfortable with different body types and styles. Ultimately one of the many reasons we were happy that we chose her was how comfortable she made us feel in front of the camera. We ended up having the engagement shoot the day before the wedding and the timing honestly couldn't have been more perfect. I had been feeling a little bit self-conscious and was worried that it would come across in the photos. In only a few hours Lauren taught us to pose, where to look, and made me feel like I had been in front of the camera my entire life. Lauren exceeded our expectations in every way imaginable. From her recommendation on wedding planners to her choice in assistants 😉, we couldn’t have asked for more. We didn’t think portraits could be so much fun! Lauren captured the intimate details we took so much care in planning as well as special moments we are already reminiscing over! I would absolutely recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a top-tier photographer. We are already looking forward to working with her again! If you’re looking for an intimate and personalized experience with unbelievable results- Lauren is your girl!

Lauren & her team were EXCEPTIONAL from start to finish. A joy to work with every step of the way. I found Lauren through my Pittsburgh photography research and her work stood out from the rest. She and her team perfectly captured our beautiful day and now we get to look back on our day via 1500+ photos. What ultimately led to us choosing Lauren was our in-person interview where we could feel her excitement, energy & professionalism, as well as her shooting style (film). Her work felt so authentic and warm and ever since we met, we knew we had to secure her for our wedding day. We even took the additional step of hiring her for our engagement photos which I HIGHLY recommend so you can work with her before your wedding day to feel comfortable in front of the camera. She is an absolute gem and made my husband and I feel so comfortable throughout the entire process.

If you're considering working with Lauren, do it. We couldn't have imagined our big day without her and she exceeded our expectations.

Lauren Renee Photography was recommended to us by our wedding planner and we could not have been more satisfied with our decision to work with her. Lauren pours her heart and soul into every event she is involved with and spends countless hours of physical, mental and emotional time with every client. It was not only her heart that drew us to her as the ideal wedding photographer, but also her honest and confident outlook on the product she provides. The level of service and quality of photography represent an exceptional return on our investment with LRP. Lauren and her team were the idyllic balance of comforting and authoritative on our wedding day to gather our wedding party and deliver stunning images. We will find any excuse to work with Lauren again in the future! She is an amazing photographer and now friend.
