I was a fan of Laurken after following her on Instagram. Laurken effortlessly exceeded our expectations. We knew her photographs would be incredible, but where she surprised us most was in her ability to make us feel so comfortable with her. She was so responsive and professional throughout the entire process. After our first facetime consultation, she sent me recommendations for vendors and let me know I could reach out to her with any questions or needs. We hadn't even signed a contract, and I already felt taken care of. My husband and I were so nervous about having our photos taken. As soon as we arrived to meet her in person for our engagement shoot, I felt like I was reuniting with an old friend. Laurken has a rare gift for making EVERYONE feel like she knows them. She brings a fun and familiar energy that is unmatched by most. Not only is Laurken a woman of great talent, but she is a woman of great integrity and takes so much pride in her work.

Here are a few reasons why you want Laurken to capture your wedding day:

1. Creativity- She has an eye for the beautiful subtleties that are easily overlooked throughout your wedding. Her work is unique because every photo reflects her client's individuality and one-of-a-kind love. She knows how to capture YOU. The final product echos the authenticity of your day.

2. Professional - Working with Laurken was a great experience from start to finish. Whenever I reached out, she was always quick to text and email back. She was the best person to have around on the day of the wedding; Laurken is calm, efficient, flexible, and fun! My wedding guests adored her.

4. Personable - On the big day, it is so important to be surrounded by people who minimize stress levels, and Laurken does exactly that. On my wedding day, I felt like she was a close friend who wanted to capture my most special and intimate moments. I was grateful to have her there with me.

Also, a final push for anyone hesitant about spending money on a great photographer- you will NOT regret it. You will regret not having your special moments captured by a true artist. Your wedding day, in all its glory, is over before you can blink. The beautiful subtleties, the celebration, candid laughter, and all the precious memories start to blur together. Looking through our wedding gallery, reliving our happiest day, and experiencing the moments we weren't able to see on our wedding day was such an amazing gift. My husband and I are beyond thankful for all the time, effort, and care Laurken put into our photos.

Laurken is a creative machine and a freaking angel. I won’t understand how she shot my wedding day for 8 hours on orcas island and then hopped off the ferry to drive to Seattle for a red eye flight with her kids the same night. She’s so fun, she tells you exactly what to do because unless you’re a model you have no idea and she makes you feel good getting photographed.

When I first got engaged I knew where the wedding planning would start. The photographer. I wanted someone who could capture the raw, emotion of the day, be sensitive to the details that create the moments, be comfortable to share the intimacy of this event. Look no further than Laurken Kendall ! Laurken created not only memories but art that I’ll forever cherish to tell our love story. She made my husband and I comfortable to just be us in front of the camera. She goes above and beyond to not only be your photographer but also calm your nerves and make you and your partner feel so special. These images are priceless to me. Highly recommend! I hope she will be taking our families photos for years to come!

Laurken was super flexible with my husband and I's short notice, easy going wedding. We didn't have a super strict itinerary and my other half can be a little unmanageable ??. Laurken not only tamed the groom long enough for some beautiful wedding portraits, but also captured the essence of the rest of our day perfectly. I would recommend her to anyone. There's not a single regret in this bride's picture book.

Laurken Kendall Photography is amazing! She truly makes you feel comfortable and relaxed while she is shooting! My fiancé is not a person who enjoys taking pictures (like most guys ha ha). By the end of our engagement pictures he said that he really enjoyed how personable Laurken is and that it made it easy for him to take pictures and enjoy the experience. Laurken takes un-posed photos that truly capture your love and your relationship. The photos she takes and produce are great quality. One by one, each photo tells the story of your personal love and relationship. I absolutely love our engagement pictures and I am so excited to have her shoot our wedding next fall! If you want a great experience that is comfortable and extremely fun, while receiving great quality photos that will last you a lifetime, pick Laurken Kendall Photography!
