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!

Lauryn is truly the best!! Her work speaks for itself, every photo is absolutely stunning. Beyond her incredible talent, she has the unique ability to capture genuine personalities & emotions, making every photo feel like you’re reliving the moment all over again. Lauryn has a way of making you feel so relaxed and calm while shooting, even amid the chaos of the day. I'd chose her a million times over!

Love Lauryn!

Working with Lauryn was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the engagement shoot to the wedding day itself, she captured the truest form of our relationship through her thoughtful prompts and natural posing suggestions. She has a gift for making people feel comfortable in front of the camera, even in moments that could otherwise feel awkward, and the results were stunning and authentic.

On the wedding day, Lauryn was incredible—she took charge from the moment she arrived, using her time so efficiently. She got detail shots done while I was still getting ready, took a leadership role coordinating with the rest of the media team and planners, and kept the bridal party organized so we could get all the important shots without feeling rushed. She knows the right order to work in, the cues to give, and how to make everything run smoothly.

What I loved most is that Lauryn brings her own creative ideas and unique style, but she also frequently checked in to make sure my own vision was included. She brought to life special touches I had dreamed of, like incorporating my dog and my dad’s vintage car into photos. Her thoughtfulness in blending her expertise with our personal ideas made the photos even more meaningful.

Beyond her artistry, Lauryn is a true professional. She is kind, warm, responsive to emails, and has an organized website portal and contracts that make everything so easy. I never once felt confused working with her—everything was clear and stress-free.

I can’t recommend Lauryn enough. She is not only an amazing photographer but also someone who made the entire experience enjoyable and memorable.

You must hire Lauryn!


Where do I even begin with Lauryn? She is truly a dream photographer and was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our engagement session to our rehearsal dinner to the big day itself, Lauryn was by our side, capturing every moment with such ease, joy, and creativity.

Her energy is everything you could want in a photographer: upbeat, calming, fun, and light-hearted. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and somehow made the entire process feel effortless and genuinely fun. On a day that can be full of nerves and chaos, Lauryn was a grounding and joyful presence.

And the photos? Out. Of. This. World. I’ve lost count of how many people have told us our wedding photos are the best they’ve ever seen, and we couldn’t agree more! Every shot is full of life, emotion, and beauty. She captured not just the moments, but the magic of the weekend. Lauryn is without a doubt a MUST-HIRE. I’d recommend her to absolutely anyone looking for a talented, thoughtful, and downright amazing photographer. We feel so lucky to have had her be such a special part of our wedding!

Simply the best!

It is impossible to fully capture how grateful we feel to have had Lauryn as our wedding photographer. From our first conversation, to our engagement shoot, to our entire wedding day, and all of the little moments in between - she is friendly, knowledgeable, talented, organized, and just all around incredible at what she does. We’re not big photo takers in our day-to-day lives but Lauryn made us feel comfortable in front of the camera at every step. On our wedding day, her lively personality and expertise made the day so enjoyable. We were the third back-to-back wedding she had that weekend, yet no effort was spared to make our day as good as it could be. She gives 110% to deliver the best for her couples and we can say with certainty that you will not regret choosing her as your photographer.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
