Our dream photographer

From our first conversation, Lauryn showed us she genuinely cared about understanding who we are as a couple and what mattered most to us on our wedding day. She was so responsive and enthusiastic throughout the entire process, making sure we felt heard and supported every step of the way. When our engagement shoot got rained out, she didn't hesitate to reschedule and even brought a tent to Lincoln Park so we could change outfits without stress. Her creative eye really shines through in every photo — she has this gift for capturing the little moments that make your love story unique, and her thoughtful approach to composition shows she's thinking about the images you'll treasure forever. Lauryn went above and beyond to make sure our day felt intentional and special, and we couldn't be happier with how she brought our vision to life. She took so many exceptional photos, it will be impossible to choose just a few to print out. We'd recommend her in a heartbeat!

A reliable and fun vendor to work with!

Lauryn was one of our favorite vendors to work with for our wedding! She came highly recommended by a friend, and I am glad we hired her. Her communication is EXCELLENT - very quick to respond and detail oriented. We enjoyed having an engagement session with her and felt like that warmed us up to the camera a bit. On our wedding day, Lauryn came professional and prepared. She did a stellar job on navigating our complex family in photos. We also truly appreciated how quick she is to send the photos. We received a sneak peak 3 days after the wedding, and she sent the entire gallery in less than 3 weeks - that's unheard of! Lauryn was that vendor that we genuinely did not have to "worry" about -- she has you covered!

Best photographer

Lauryn was incredible!!! She did an amazing job. She gave the perfect amount of direction for our portraits and did a great job getting all of our large family. Her photos are stunning! We got a lot photos for a preview a few days after the wedding and all of our photos within a few weeks. She did a great job getting candidate shots too. 10/10 would recommend

We love lauryn

Lauryn was hands down the best choice for our wedding day. I have honestly spent every single day since we received our previews and gallery, staring and looking through every single photo she captured. I can't even choose favorite photos because of how much I love all of them. It was such a privilege as well to be able to share these with our family and friends SO quickly after the wedding, getting the previews only a few days later and the entire gallery a few weeks after! It brought back all of our favorites memories and allowed us to relive the day in the best ways possible. She took every single request we asked of her to make sure our day and our timeline could run perfectly, and she truly did everything and more. I would not consider this an easy task, and yet she made it look effortless and demonstrated only positivity the entire time. In the conversations leading up to our wedding, Lauryn was consistently helpful and honest. I felt so much more confident going into the day knowing she would be such a great source of knowledge and be exactly the personality that would suit my husband and I! From the very beginning of our day, she brought a great energy, professional insight, and amazing fun and ideas to the moments we will remember for a lifetime. I was in awe of how quickly she captured the moments we needed and how perfectly they turned out. We both felt so comfortable with her and loved the ability she has to make all our photos feel and look so natural. I wish I could do the day all over again and spend even more time with her. I absolutely loved working with her and her photos are truly the best gift we could have received. I am immensely grateful for all she did!

A beautiful day captured by Lauryn

Lauryn made the day fun and relaxed! We all knew where we needed to be and was able to make everyone at ease when taking our picture. Especially the bride and groom! Many creative venues I wouldn't have thought of including the beautiful bathroom at the Dalcy! I would highly recommend Lauryn as she has been great to work with even after the wedding and helped capture the most amazing day ever seeing my daughter get married to the love of her life.

Simply the best!

We cannot say enough amazing things about Lauryn! From the very beginning, she was so organized and made us immediately feel like we were in the best hands. Her communication throughout the entire process was excellent, which made everything feel effortless on our end.

Our engagement session with her was incredible—the photos turned out beyond beautiful—and she somehow topped that with our wedding gallery. The wedding photos were delivered so quickly and were even better than anything we could have dreamed of. Lauryn went above and beyond on our wedding day, making sure we got every shot we wanted in the city, which was no small task given our tight timeline and multiple locations.

She truly does it all—not only capturing perfect moments but also keeping everyone organized and even jumping in to fix my hair when I needed it. Lauryn is an absolute dream to work with, and we would recommend her to absolutely everyone. She made our wedding experience unforgettable, and we are so grateful for her talent and care!

Simply the best

Lauryn is truly the best at what she does.

As we started planning our wedding, my husband and I were both nervous about photography - we weren't entirely sure how to articulate what we wanted and felt nervous about how we would photograph (we're both awkward in front of a camera). During our first conversation with Lauryn, those concerns completely disappeared, as she quickly put into words the vision we had in our heads.

Lauryn (and her second shooter, Chelsea) helped us, our wedding party, and families feel comfortable and truly seen through the entire event. She gave easy-to-follow directions and even let us preview some of the pictures as we went so we could adjust ourselves if needed.

Most importantly, we got some of the most beautiful and creative pictures that we will truly cherish forever. Thank you again, Lauryn!

Love love love

I honestly can’t say enough good things about Lauryn! She was SO organized, she made us feel comfortable and the photos turned out absolutely INCREDIBLE. I never know how to pose or look natural in photos, but Lauryn worked her magic and somehow made everything look so candid and effortless.
Our wedding day was probably the hottest day of the year with high winds, but Lauryn was so efficient and made it all feel easy. Somehow, we didn’t look like we were dripping sweat which is a miracle in itself!
We seriously couldn’t be happier. The photos are bright, beautiful, and exactly what we hoped for. She was so fun to work with, and I genuinely loved all of her suggestions. We’ll definitely be using her for our family photos in the future!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
