Lauren is amazing!
We had the best experience working with Lauren! I wanted to include my very excitable dogs in our engagement photos, but didn't think they would cooperate out in public. Lauren was so accommodating and came to our home and was so patient with our dogs! We were able to get so many amazing pictures with them - even ones with BOTH of them looking at the camera! Lauren also made the most out of our location and found the best spots to take pictures. She had our full gallery ready so quickly, too! She exceeded my expectations and I would recommend her to anyone :) -

We began working with Lauren in 2016 when she started photographing Rich and I and our three pups for holidays, our surprise engagement, and our rehearsal dinner, welcome drinks, and wedding day in August.
At no surprise to us, Lauren and her second shooter were a calming presence amidst the excitement on our wedding day. She managed to be everywhere, capturing the big and subtle, candid moments we might have missed. She captured all of our shot requests with patience and grace, wrangling our rowdy wedding parties, and beautifully captured our three dogs, who were not interested in being cooperative that day. Her ability to blend into the background while simultaneously directing and capturing stunning portraits is truly impressive.
As always, Lauren's photographs are nothing short of magical. Each image tells a story, evoking all the emotions and memories of that day. I always say you can immediately spot Lauren's photos, as they are always simply breathtaking.
Having Lauren as our wedding photographer was a no-brainer, and I can wholeheartedly say it was one of the best decisions we made for our special day. We can't wait to continue working with Lauren and having her capture our family memories for years to come! -

The best of the best!
Lauren is truly the best of the best. We have known and worked with Lauren since 2019, she has captured so many special moments from before we were engaged, to our surprise proposal, and now our wedding - I couldn’t have imagined having anyone else there on our most special day. Lauren’s love for her couples radiates, she makes everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and truly is incredible.
Lauren worked seamlessly with our videographer, and she fit right in with our crowd! We feel so honored and lucky to have had Lauren capture our day, and can truly say our photos are everything we dreamed of and more. We will cherish them forever. And we can’t wait to continue working with Lauren for many years to come!! -

Lauren did such a great job for our engagement session. When our original date got rained out, she was flexible and responsive, and was able to take our pictures the following week. Lauren made the session enjoyable, fun and easy! The photos turned out great, and we got them back so quickly. 100% recommend, loved how the photos turned out and the entire process. -

I can not recommend Lauren enough! We have worked with Lauren for a few years, and most recently she photographed our surprise proposal that included our pup. What I thought was our Christmas card photos, turned out to be the most incredible proposal that my fiancé and Lauren worked together to plan. It couldn’t have happened without her, and I am so grateful to have such beautiful photos captured from our day.
We are even more excited to have Lauren capturing our upcoming wedding. Lauren is the kindest, sweetest person and an incredibly talented and professional photographer. I can’t say enough good things about Lauren! -

Lauren is an amazing photographer and person. You will not be disappointed! She is incredibly gifted and her work is unparalleled. She has an eye for capturing special moments, and it’s very evident that she pours her heart into her work. In addition to her photographs being bright and airy, she is amazing at dog photography which was so important to us on our wedding day. She made me feel so much more relaxed on our big day and comfortable taking pictures. We are honestly obsessed with our pictures and are going to have a hard time picking which ones to frame. It should also be mentioned that she is professional, accommodating, and organized. Family formals went very smoothly. I can truly go on and on, and I cannot recommend her enough. -

Best Photographer!
If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding, or any occasion, I cannot recommend Lauren enough!! We are so happy we chose Lauren as our wedding photographer! Lauren is one of the nicest people, and so incredibly talented at what she does. She is very professional, and easily available to help with anything you need throughout the whole planning process. Lauren will make sure you known exactly what to expect during you session or wedding day, and will make sure you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Our photos were delivered to us even quicker than expected! She even sent us a gallery of sneak peaks just two days after our wedding which was such a nice touch. Our engagement and wedding photos came out more amazing than I could have imagined thanks to Lauren! We can't wait to have Lauren capture more moments for us in the future - she is the best! -

Best Photographer Around!
Lauren was absolutely amazing from the moment we had an introductory phone call to the moment our photos were delivered to my inbox. She was extremely professional, informative and friendly and I knew right away that we had to hire her! On the day of our engagement shoot Lauren made the photos so much fun to take, we love them all so much that we are having a hard time choosing just one for our Save the Dates! We look forward to working with Lauren again in the future and would recommend her to all! -

We wouldn't have wanted anyone else as our wedding photographer! Lauren is a genuine photographer who makes you feel like you're most important. She did a wonderful job at making us feel comfortable and captured moments when we didn't even know she was there! She was professional through our whole journey,(engagement photos, planning, and the day of) all while having a smile on her face the entire time. She was extremely timely in her turn around with responding to emails, showing up to sessions, and the final photos. We are beyond pleased with the final products; it will be hard to pick the ones we will frame! On a scale from 1-10, we'd give her an 11! You won't be disappointed in any way with hiring Lauren. She's truly the best! We are even hoping she's going to come back to photograph our children some day ;)
XO,

Kaitlin M. Sent on 03/17/2022Beautiful Photos to Remember Our Sweet Pup
I have followed Lauren on Instagram for some time, and love her work. My partner and I always imagined that we'd use her as our wedding/engagement photographer sometime in the next few years since it was really important to us to involve our dogs in those memories. Very sadly, our dog Bow received a terminal cancer diagnosis at the young age of 2, and we had to say goodbye to her a few weeks ago. As we mourned the time we expected but wouldn't have with Bow, I wanted professional photos done that would capture her essence for us to treasure always. I reached out to Lauren (last minute) with our request, and she was so accommodating and kind. She provided the guidance we needed to capture some beautiful moments in Bow's final days, and it was so easy to coordinate logistics with her, which I really appreciated with everything else going on. Bow's spicy, sweet personality shines through in all of the images Lauren captured during our session. And the turnaround time was so quick - we had sneak peeks of the photos before we said goodbye two days later. We miss our little (Rain)Bow so much, but we are forever grateful to Lauren for providing us with the opportunity to remember Bow in this way, as she was, and for capturing the little family Bow helped us to create. Lauren showed us incredible compassion, and I would recommend her to anyone. She will be our first choice photographer for all our future life events. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Lauren! -

Lauren is the best wedding photographer around!
Lauren was the absolute BEST to work with! We feel so lucky to have been able to work with her for both our engagement and wedding photos. She did such a great job with helping us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. On top of that, Lauren is unbelievable with dogs! She had all the tricks in the book to get our dog George to look at the camera. Her photos are so amazing they quite literally transport us back to our wedding day every time we look at them. -

Surprise Proposal
Lauren captured our surprise proposal and I could not be more thankful to have had her there. She is extremely kind, personable, and patient. She is the best photographer, and our pictures came out so amazing. She was able to capture our love for each other and our dog so perfectly. We could not have asked for a better experience with Lauren. We look forward to working with her again. We highly recommend working with Lauren- she is the best! -

Amazing Photographer
Lauren has now captured our proposal, engagement session and marriage. And we will continue to use her for the years to come. We feel so fortunate to have found her a couple years ago! After getting our wedding gallery back, we were again in complete awe at how amazing Lauren is. It evident how talented she is, as well as extremely detailed oriented. Lauren goes above and beyond for her clients and it really shows. She made me feel confident and hopeful the day of our wedding day as we were walking out to the first look, when there was rain in the forecast. She kept my spirits high and believed that the rain would pass! It ended up passing and we had a beautiful sunny ceremony! She has now become more than just a photographer to us! We cherish the friendship we have made with her the past couple years! I recommend Lauren to every single person I come across whether it be family or friends or random people that are looking for a photographer! We love Lauren so much and HIGHLY recommend her! She is truly the best!! -

Alex Sent on 04/07/2021Fantastic and magical photo session!
Lauren was amazing in helping plan the perfect proposal surprise. I worked with her to pick the perfect location (her experience shooting around all spots around the greater Boston area came in so handy — I was between two options and she was able to send photos from past shoots at each location to help me decide). Lauren was enthusiastic about the proposal ideas and details I had, and worked with me to make sure we could pull it off. There were code words, pre-planned poses, our puppy to consider, and location changes, but Lauren has impeccable attention to detail and did not miss a single detail on her end. The photo shoot itself was such a fun experience, Lauren made my fiancé and I feel comfortable, she directed us well, and was amazing at getting a large variety of poses. The photos themselves? Gorgeous, amazing, scenic, warm, happy, fun...I could go on. The amount of variety of photos Lauren gave us was the best thing about the whole process. We are so pleased with the range of photos (fun and spontaneous ones, scenic ones, romantic ones, candid ones, portraits), and the variety of compositions and location backdrops she shot us in. Would highly recommend Lauren for capturing any moment to remember, whether that be a wedding, surprise engagement, doggie photoshoot, or even just a family portrait session. The photos that she will deliver and the moments she will capture for you to have forever, are simply priceless. -

Lauren Dobish is the most incredible human being on this earth.
When I got engaged, I was looking for a photographer and I came across her instagram and fell in love with her style of pictures. I reached out to her and talked to her on the phone and immediately felt like I was chatting with my best friend on the phone. She is so easy to talk to and her work is so incredible. My husband and I met her for the first time at our engagement shoot, and it was love at first sight. My husband and I were nervous that taking corny pictures would be so awkward- especially with a stranger! But instantly it felt like she was our best friend and she gave us perfect instructions and made us feel so at ease that our engagement pictures came out incredible.
And then COVID happened, and we had to totally change our wedding plans but Lauren was SO AMAZING about all the twists and turns we threw her way. She was so accommodating and so down for anything. We literally changed states and she was totally unfazed and so ready to capture our wedding day. I was so stressed out on our wedding day because so many of my plans had changed and I kept feeling like I was forgetting things - not to mention we were getting married as an impending hurricane was headed our way. When Lauren walked into our suite I literally forgot about everything. She has the most calming energy. It felt like my best friend from childhood walked in the room. Im telling you.- she is so friendly and personable. I think this is a HUGE OVERSIGHT on so many brides radar. You want a photographer that takes good pictures- but do you think about the fact that this person is going to be by your side ALL DAY on the day of your wedding? You want someone you are comfortable with and to whom you enjoy their company - not a stranger!
Anyways, she was so good at directing us on our wedding day she was literally a wedding coordinator and a photographer all in one. We just got our pictures back from our wedding day and I am speechless. ALL of our pictures are absolutely STUNNING. I didn’t even realize she took half the pictures she did because she is so discrete - which is another HUGE thing to consider- you don’t want someone forcing these awkward poses on you! She literally captured such natural interactions in the most beautiful way. She brought her second shooter- her fiance Paul - and yup you guessed it I’m in love with him too. They are the sweetest couple and are so genuinely happy for you - it feels like they are just your friends at your wedding. I was so sad at the end of our wedding that I would have to say bye to her because I wouldn’t see her again any time soon- but I am so looking forward to the day when we are able to use her again for our family portraits.
BOOK LAUREN YOU NEED HER!! -

Perfectly Captured Our Boston Elopement
My husband and I decided at the beginning of January to get married on the long weekend - in two weeks! Lauren was not only available but so excited to photograph our small wedding of 10 guests. Due to the quick timing, we didn't meet her before our wedding day but she put everyone at ease and kept us relaxed and laughing during our family photos. That vibe continued as my husband and I walked around Boston with her to get photographs around the city. Even before we saw our photos, our family couldn't stop raving about how great Lauren was. And her photos did not disappoint! She perfectly captured the intimate ceremony that we had, and even caught several smiles from our non-smiling 3 year-old nephew. And the outside photos are unbelievable. She captured quintessential winter Boston scenes which is exactly what we wanted! Not to mention the speed; we got a batch the next day, which was amazing since we wanted to tell the world we eloped. And we got the full gallery in a week! -

Lauren is such a sweet and down-to-earth person. My fiancé, Daniella, and I connected with her so fast! She really is more than just an amazing photographer; she is a genuine, kind and fun human being. Our proposal session went so well thanks to her expertise and good-natured approach! We actually became aware of Lauren Dobish Photography after one of our closest friends commissioned her for their engagement shoot this past summer.
Regarding our proposal pictures, we are truly blown away! With the way Lauren photographed our proposal, it feels like she has the truly rare gift of storytelling! She really captured the buildup of various emotions as I got down on one knee and began proposing to my now fiancé, Daniella. She even blended in so well from across the street that Daniella didn’t notice her until she physically came closer to us to capture a slightly different angle. From tears of joy, to laughs of jubilation, to pure gratitude, Lauren captured it all seamlessly!
This next detail speaks to Lauren’s character so well: even she herself was crying after I proposed. It proved to both of us how much she actually cares about her clients! Lauren is the kind of photographer who understands the great value of authentic connection with the people she works with. This enhances her photos and leads to even better images. Right after the proposal occurred, she asked us if we were ready to do a mini-portrait session. The way she switched up gears did not feel rushed, it felt so natural and exciting!
Because we work in the wedding industry as videographers, we are used to being behind the camera, not in front of it. So we were a little nervous as she began directing us. But her direction was always so clear and concise. She made us laugh a lot too, which was good because it helped get the tears of joy to disappear and be replaced by ear-to-ear smiles!
Another thing we LOVED about working with Lauren was the speed of her delivery. Plus, she OVER DELIVERED the number of final images, giving us DOUBLE what she estimated originally within FIVE DAYS!! We really enjoyed how she turned some black and white; this adds a timeless effect to the already timeless work she creates. We’ve already looked at our gallery a few times now, and it honestly feels as though the gallery gets better and better each time! Thank you, Lauren, for keeping us on cloud nine engagement bliss :)
At one point, the forecast looked bad, so I asked if Lauren would be available the next day. She wasn't, but she said she’d “totally understand if I went with someone else because she couldn’t commit to the next day as well.” That is what sold me on her: Her kindness and authenticity! I could tell she wasn’t greedy and that she really wanted me to have a successful proposal.
I really appreciated her attention to detail. As most guys will eventually find out, planning and executing a successful proposal can be daunting. Lauren put me at ease, though, and when we hopped on the phone the day before the proposal, she listened more than she spoke, and was so clear about the information she needed from me, without adding too much extra work or stress on my plate the day before the proposal. And I could hear in her voice she was genuinely excited and eager for the plan I had come up with!
We cannot recommend Lauren Dobish Photography enough. She will exceed your expectations and you’ll walk away feeling like you have a new friend!!
