    Responsive, Personable, Reliable

    Lauren was great! She helped us get the photos we wanted out of the way first and catered the shots to what we wanted. Definitely recommend!

    Amazing experience

    Lauren photographed my July wedding and was incredible to work with. She was great during “formal” photos and helped me and my husband who are usually awkward in front of a camera feel very comfortable the whole time. During our reception she amazed me at how well she blended into the background and captured our whole day without making me feel like paparazzi was following me. I barely noticed her the whole time and was so grateful. Our photos came out absolutely stunning and we couldn’t have been happier! Thank you Lauren!

    Best photographer ever!

    Being a photographer myself, picking out a wedding photographer was my top priority! I did a expansive search trying to find the right photographer and Lauren was the one!

    She was so quick to respond during our initial talk (even on a holiday weekend!). She has a great personality and her photos are incredible! She has great packages for different budgets and offer a lot!

    Stunning photos

    I found Lauren on Instagram years ago. I suggested my sister to use her as a wedding photographer. I was already by this point completely obsessed with her style, but after seeing my sisters photos I was so blown away. I knew I had to hire her for my wedding!
    We went with a package that included an engagement session. Lauren was so flexible in letting us choose the location for a downtown snowy vibe. I’m still so in love with how they came out a year later. Fast forward to our wedding - Lauren and her second shooter Alexa were such a fun team. They got the perfect shots of my husband, his groomsmen, my bridal party, and of the special moments for my husband and I throughout the ceremony. They directed us as needed and pretty much did all the work for us when it came to capturing photos. I’ll seriously probably forever be enamored by the photos of both our wedding and engagement.

    Wedding photography

    Lauren was great! She worked with our budget and smaller wedding size and helped us decide on an hourly rate vs wedding package, which worked perfectly for what we needed. She’s super friendly, easy to contact and best of all her photos are gorgeous! She adds all the right touches with her editing :). Definitely recommend her!

    100% Recommend this photographer

    Lauren was always very responsive when I messaged her. While photographing the wedding, she would make sure I was happy before she would move onto the next area for pictures or the next thing we were doing. Her photos came out just perfect and I am so happy with how they came out! We cannot wait to use her for future photos :)

    Responsive, creative, and positive!

    We really enjoyed working with Lauren and her assistant. They captured the most important moments on our big day and Lauren was super helpful with some “bridal emergencies” during the festivities. I would highly recommend Lauren!

    Lauren shot the engagement photos of our dreams!!

    Can’t recommend L.Sanborn Phoography enough. We aren’t the most comfortable in front of the camera but she was so helpful and fun to work with. It was such a fun experience. Not to mention she woke up at sunrise to drive into the dessert for the perfect photos. Highly recommend!!

    Super Willing

    She was willing to do anything and go anywhere we had planned on our special day. The results were absolutely gorgeous and I am super obsessed with the way they came out.

    Fun, amazing photographer!

    Lauren did an *AMAZING* job shooting our wedding! She made my wedding photo dreams a reality and when she delivered my gallery, I felt like I relived the whole wedding again!! She was very easy to work with, was on time, and knew exactly what shots to get before/during/after the ceremony. I would absolutely recommend Lauren (L. Sanborn Photography) to anyone that wants their special day captured perfectly!

    Lauren is the best

    Lauren was so great at capturing our big day. She did a great job combining candid shots with posed shots that felt comfortable and not forced. She was so sweet and straight forward with pricing. Everything was super easy with her! We had her from 2:00-9:00 which seems like a long, tiring day for someone but she was so much fun and ended up joining in the party which was really special.

    People told us that our photos looked like they came out of a magazine and that the style was unique to what they see for typical wedding photos. I would highly recommend going with Lauren for your special day. It’s worth every penny!

    L. Sanborn Photography's reply:

    Kayley, I love you guys!! I'm hoping to get to see you when I come back to visit next month! Thank you for your kind words. Your wedding was so much fun and so special to photograph

    Lauren is awesome! We had the best experience with her. She's fun, personable, and overall excellent at what she does. We received a recommendation from a friend and couldn't have been luckier to find her. She did both our engagement shoot and the wedding. We're anxiously waiting on our wedding photos but the engagement ones were awesome. Her partner Dylan was great too! She's extremely busy because of her fantastic work so book her while you still have the chance!

    Although due to unforeseen circumstances I was unable to use Lauren for my actual wedding photos, I was able to use her for my engagement photos. Lauren did an excellent job, and the pictures came out amazing! I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a photographer to shoot their wedding or engagement photos (or both!). Lauren is quite talented and truly cares about her work. I have no doubt if we could have used her as a wedding photographer we would not have been disappointed.

    Lauren Sanborn has been phenomenal so far! Such great quality photography for such an affordable price!! The two packages she offers are amazing, you get so much for your money. Lauren has been so fast with her email responses and always willing to work with me and answer any questions I have. I can't wait for her to photograph our wedding!

    can’t recommend!

    the bullet points:

    - communication was horrible. Questions would go unanswered for days, or weeks at times. It was always blamed on her ADHD or her busy life, but when you’re running a business, that’s really not an excuse, it’s just unprofessional
    - our photos were lost due to a hard drive malfunction and we spent 5 months not knowing if we’d ever get them or not. we didn’t even KNOW this was happening until the day after our gallery was due and she told us in an email, not even a phone call for such important and heart breaking news. accountability was really never fully taken (see next bullet point) and we were made to feel like this was more devastating to her than it was to us. she shared intimate things from her personal life that really shouldn’t have been shared with me to show that she was so mentally distressed by this which just honestly felt manipulative and like an attempt to get us to feel badly for HER when we were the ones that were being slighted
    - the attitude that we received during this process was absolutely unreal. My favorite gem: “I don’t know how else you’d like me to take accountability other than it just sounds like you’re looking for me to say that this was partly my fault, and sure, if that makes you feel somewhat better, you can have that.” that was a wild read! It got to a point where I had to pass off all communication to my wife because I was just tired of hearing all of the personal excuses and getting the attitude of comments like this and so many others that I’ve saved
    - It took 8 months total from wedding date to gallery delivery and we still had photos missing. my wife has no photos with her bridal party at all, we have no photos of our families together, and some of the photos that we got had things like the second shooters head obviously in the background
    - we received zero offer of a partial refund for the trouble as a gesture of good faith, which kind of astounded me to be honest. She asked for our address to send us a “gift” once our gallery was done - it’s been just shy of 3 months and whatever that gift was supposed to be, it certainly hasn’t found us
    - the shorts that she changed into during my reception were short enough that groomsmen were drooling and making comments and family members and friends were noticeably alarmed

    I’m an incredibly non confrontational person so I spent the entire time trying to be understanding and patient and brushing things off and giving the benefit of the doubt, but my honest truth is that my wife and I cite hiring Lauren as the one regret we have from our entire wedding experience and we wouldn’t wish this experience on anyone in the world. All I can say is that I truly hope lessons have been learned from this in terms of backing things up properly, but I fear that the communication and attitude aren’t things that are likely to improve.
