ABOUT WEDDINGS

Interactive Prompts + Movement = Natural Photos

Hi there! I’m Lauren. My philosophy is to treat all my clients, like my neighbor. Including giving a cup of sugar. The same can be said during the times I photograph weddings and portrait clients. My goal is to always be there for my clients not only as a photographer but as a friend and resource.

My photography is driven by the connections & emotions I make with you. That’s why even after your wedding, couples & families come back to me and reconnect. I love it when we can catch up on life and see how much our families have grown. We get to continue your story even after your wedding day!

Remember growing up and that person behind the camera said “cheese”.? Or you head to the mall portrait studio and you are forced into a perfect position. Or being in a Bridal party standing their for what seems like hours. Yuck, so uncomfortable. Yea, we’re not going to do that.

Here’s How it Works

We’re going to focus on the real stuff – how you feel and who you are in the moment. giggles, smiles, blissful moments. I promise that you’re going to laugh in your photos. Instead of awkwardly standing there questioning your every move. I listen and observe incremental details of your day.

I use a series of prompts and movements to get you out of your comfort zone in order to be silly and enjoy the cherished time you have I’ll use my words rather than posing you. Some couples need the extra help of fixing fly-aways and placement of hands so they don’t look awkward. My direction will help you feel like we are on a fun date. This is guaranteed to get you laughing, smiling, and laughing. Words are so important and I want you to have those sweet moments together, especially when you forget I’m even there.

My favorite prompt works so well that 90% of my couples end up getting so caught up in it that they forget to stop until I remind them that I’ve gotten all the smiles and laughter that I need for their gallery.

Stress free wonderful wedding photography experience!

Lauren was such a blessing to our big day. She is an excellent communicator before the big day. The day of, she made taking photos fun and stress free. She was able to take photos of all of the different combinations of guests along with various locations that I wanted. She captured the love, smiles and scenery of our big day. If you are wondering who to hire for your big day, I strongly recommend Lauren!

Destination Wedding Success!

We hired Lauren Ryan Photography for our Destination Wedding in Honolulu, Hawaii and we couldn't be more pleased. We had regular check-ins leading up to the event and her communication was outstanding. Amidst all of the stresses that can come with planning a wedding, we never had a doubt in LRP. On the day of the wedding, Lauren was in control, could direct our guests and wedding party, and had great ideas at our wedding venue and the surrounding areas. She was very prompt and held to our expectations before, during, and after our wedding, and we are so pleased with the final product. Thank you, Lauren!

Style photo shoot

Working with Lauren was a great experience. She is professional, personable and great at putting her subjects at ease. She really knows how to catch that perfect moment, be it possed or candid pictures. I would definitely work with her again.

Amazing!

I had my engagement session done by Lauren and the pictures are breathtaking. We are from Ohio but out in Washington for the summer so we wanted the location to be at Mount Rainier National Park and the location was stunning but Lauren was able to make the pictures look better than real life. My husband and I had a great time with the adventurous session and taking pictures around the park; it was a fun experience and it didn't necessarily feel like there was a camera in front of us all the time. Everyone comments on how lovely the pictures are quality wise, location wise and just how happy we look in the photos because you can tell how comfortable we were around Lauren. Couldn't recommend a better photographer in the Seattle area! :)

Lauren is a kind, talented professional who takes the time to create beautiful images. She recently took our engagement announcement photos and I'm so happy with how they turned out. We received a lot of compliments on them and we will treasure them for years to come. I highly recommend!

I worked with Lauren on two weddings this August as her second shooter. These were my first weddings and I was grateful to her for being encouraging and educated me throughout the process. Lauren is hands on with her brides and will ensure everything goes according to plan so that the day is seemless. Her kind and easygoing demeanor put the brides and their families at ease. I highly recommend Lauren to photograph your wedding. You won't be disappointed!

I hired Lauren when I was in Seattle for a family event to get some portraits of my husband and I. She was very accommodating and professional. We were very happy with the assortment of photos she provided and they are now all over our house!

I love working with this vendor! Lauren was a huge part in making our wedding day a success. We met face-to-face early in our engagement to get details hammered out together and to brainstorm about the vision of our wedding. She followed up closer to the wedding to confirm all the details, making us feel confident that she would be on top of things on our wedding day. I loved her friendliness and the insights she gave into the wedding industry. She was a great mix of flexibility, allowing us to bring our own ideas into play but also being willing to offer her expert advice too. She delivered our photos to us quickly and they were beyond the quality that we were anticipating- I can't stop sneaking peeks at them! I would recommend Lauren Ryan Photography services :)

Lauren was very sweet and made me feel so comfortable. I had only ever been to one or two weddings before and honestly had no idea what was it was going to be like. I'm very camera shy but she made me feel very comfortable so I was able to have the wedding photos I always dreamed of! We were rather unorganized when it came to our schedule and she was so patient with us while we scrambled to get everyone where they needed to be. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!

Lauren is a total joy to work with. She captured some beautiful shots of my husband and I for our holiday cards last year. All of our family and friends loved them, and I always refer people to Lauren when they're looking for someone who will take fantastic photos while helping them feel relaxed in front of the camera.

She's incredibly responsive to messages and emails and always went above and beyond for us. I'd recommend her in a heartbeat.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
