Lauren is one of those people you meet and immediately think “how are they so talented??” Lauren is truly amazing at what she does. From our engagement session to our sneak peeks after our wedding, my husband and I have been in awe. She takes your special moments and captures them so beautifully. We haven’t received our full wedding album (August 2025 wedding), but we already know they will be everything we have dreamed of. Aside from her photography skills, Lauren is someone you want with you on your wedding day. She is calm and makes you feel at ease and genuinely seems to have an awesome time as well! We loved her and know you will too! -

Lauren did an absolutely amazing job for our engagement and wedding photos! She's kind, calm, and encouraging. She captured our ceremony beautifully (we didn't even notice her there!), she handled our big, bustling family with ease (including 2 babies) and then came up with creative ideas for our couples photos. She captured great shots throughout our reception. Our pictures came out even more beautiful than we could've imagined! We are so thankful we hired her - highly recommend! -

The Most Stunning Photos Ever!
Wow! My husband and I knew that Lauren would be the perfect fit for our wedding from seeing her style on instagram, but we didn’t realize how easy she would make our entire experience. From the planning process, to the day of the wedding, Lauren showed us why she is so popular within the wedding industry. We were so comfortable on the wedding day during each and every shot. Lauren even got us our sneak peaks a couple of days following our wedding, and we were speechless. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Lauren for any wedding, but make sure to get on her books early! She’s popular for a reason! -

We met Lauren a few years ago when she offered couples mini sessions and have worked with her ever since. She was at the top of our list for wedding photographers, so we were thrilled she was available for our wedding date and that she was open to travel! We had a great pre-wedding session that was a bit of an adventure and Lauren was up for the challenge! We had a number of other sessions including a welcome party, the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. It was a very busy two days and Lauren captured it all perfectly.
We had sneaks the morning after the wedding and her turn around time for the entire wedding gallery was so quick!
Family has mentioned over and over how much they enjoyed having her at the wedding, how nice she was, and how amazing the pictures turned out!
Lauren is extremely organized, professional, kind, fun, personable, easy going and we absolutely recommend her for your pictures! -

Easygoing perfection!
Lauren is fantastic! She has a wonderful style that suited us perfectly. We loved her humor and kindness, and appreciated how effortless she made everything. We continue to be obsessed with our photos! (Plus who doesn't love some fantastic black and white photos to make you feel like a movie star?!) -

Warm and Talented Wedding Photographer!
Lauren is obviously an incredibly talented photographer and her work speaks for itself, but more importantly she is a kind and warm person..traits crucial to someone who is by your side on a nerve wracking day. If you’re not totally comfortable having your picture taken (like me) she’ll make you feel at ease and enjoy the experience.
I am very close with my 90 year old grandmother, who at the last minute couldn’t make it down to where we were taking family photos – Knowing this, Lauren made sure to pull us away later in the day to take pictures with her..something that I would’ve otherwise overlooked on the whirlwind that is your wedding day. These pictures are some of the most precious to me. Lauren is organized, real, and has amazing taste (something you can’t fake!). I had saved some of Lauren’s work when I came across her Instagram because I was drawn to the organic and joyful moments she captures. After losing my grandpa during COVID, I wanted to make sure I invested more in photography. I'm grateful I did because my husband and I have beautiful family photos from a 2021 wedding we weren’t sure would even happen! She *gets* who you are as a couple and her work reflects it. For example, my husband lost his dad when he was young and we had a framed picture of him that we brought with us throughout the day. Lauren captured this..without us even mentioning it. I am so grateful she took those!
It’s worth mentioning that we first met Lauren after she drove half an hour up a sketchy dirt road to meet us at the top of a mountain in Utah..! My husband spent most of his twenties in Park City, Utah and when I saw she would be out there last summer, I asked if she could take our engagement photos there. Although she wasn’t from the area she scouted a beautiful location with amazing views of a place with lots of meaning to us. This being said, Lauren goes above and beyond, she's confident, and I’m thankful to have had her document the most important day of our lives!

We first met Lauren for a pre-wedding snow shoot. Unfortunately, weather didn't cooperate, but we still were amazed with the beauty she captured in our photos. She was very professional, flexible and above all, personable. We are not the most confident in front of the camera but she made us feel at ease and we had so much fun capturing our moments together. We HAD TO hire her for our wedding day and were amazed with the results. We received photo sneak previews just a few days after and we able to share these with family members who were not able to attend the wedding. She captured our emotions and surroundings in a way that made the photos feel as if you were there, even down to the smallest details that you would never have thought of. We will definitely use her services in the future and highly recommend Lauren and her services. -

Lauren is the best!
I cried when I got my photos back from Lauren. They were so much better than I could have imagined. It was such a crazy day and she caught so many little details I never even knew about. It was lovely to look through all these photos and see so many pictures of myself that I actually liked!! She caught so many great emotions and I love every one of the photos she sent to us. I can’t recommend he enough. -

We retained Lauren for our wedding, after having to move our wedding date and lost the photographer we used for our engagement session. Lauren came highly recommended by our original photographer, and we quickly realized why! Lauren was very easy to work with. She always responded quickly to emails, and her website/contract is very user-friendly. On the day of our wedding, she knew exactly how to move us to get the best possible shot. She was even okay with playing in the rain for us. We got our sneaks not even 24 hours later, and they are absolutely gorgeous! I can't wait for the rest of our photos. I just know they are going to be even more unbelievable than the first few she sent. -

Lillian Sent on 07/01/2021Perfect Photographer for Beautiful Candid Wedding Photos
We originally found Lauren on Instagram back in 2019. We immediately were drawn to her editing style and her candidness of her photos. We met with her in person and got to know her easy going personality and could tell she was very passionate about photographing weddings. We booked her right away for our June 2020 wedding. When COVID hit we like many other couples were overwhelmed with the thought of postponing our wedding but Lauren was able to work with us and accommodate our new date at no additional charge. Her understanding and willingness to work with us helped take the edge off a difficult time. She even sent us a little care package in the mail that made us feel special!
The photo package we went with included an engagement shoot which was wonderful! It helped us get to know her a little bit more and get some practice in front of the camera. As for the wedding day Lauren was incredible. She was all over the place taking all the photos, but we also seemed to not even notice her at the same time. She gave us direction to get all those cute photos without making the poses feel uncomfortable or forced. We also had a videographer that she worked alongside with really well so we were able to get both photos and videos within the same shots.
We got our sneak peek album within just a few days which was so nice to see! We are awaiting our final album as we just got married a couple weeks ago but we know they will be amazing. We can’t wait to look through them all and reminisce about the day! If you are thinking about booking with Lauren you won’t regret it!

Samantha Sent on 06/08/2021Laid back process and unbelievable photos!
We contracted with Lauren a couple years ago and she did our engagement photos, then was more than accommodating when we needed to reschedule our 2020 wedding due to Covid. My husband is not a fan of getting photographed, and Lauren made the process so easy, fun, and comfortable. She is so easy going yet professional, and you would never even have known she was there on our wedding day (in the best way - we got so many fabulous photos that we didn't even know where being taken). She also got us a handful of photos 1 day after the wedding! Most of my friends waited months to see any pictures at all. I can't recommend her highly enough! -

Lauren was the perfect photographer for our wedding day. She was incredibly flexible as we cancelled our original wedding plan, almost rescheduled to June 2021, and then decided to keep our original date as a micro wedding. She was very patient and flexible with these changes. Then when the day came, she guided us along the way! Lauren was so helpful asking for details and shots with all the right people. Then throughout the ceremony itself, she walked around the church to get a lot of different shots. She captured our day perfectly. We were so excited seeing all the moments that she was able to capture. AND on top of it all - Lauren was such a joy to be around and she made us very comfortable in front of the lens. Highly recommend Lauren!!
ALSO -- we loved doing our engagement photos with Lauren! She came up to Boston to photograph us in our favorite places, and it helped us practice how to be natural in front of the camera for the wedding! -

Meghan Sent on 05/04/2021Beautiful Photos! We're So Glad We Booked Her!
After having to postpone and seeing Lauren’s work at a friends wedding, we reached out to her and am so glad we did! Leading up to the wedding we had a FaceTime meeting and she was very timely in communication. She made sure to follow our timeline and capture all of our photos we requested. My husband is not a fan of getting his photo taken but she made it easy and we both felt comfortable. Our photos are beautiful and even better than what I had hoped for! I highly recommend Lauren and can’t wait for another reason to work with her & have her capture our special moments! -

Lauren is incredibly talented! We hired Lauren for our engagement shoot and wedding in September and we are blown away by the results. Our pictures came out better than I could have ever imagined.
Lauren has a way of making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, she made the posed pictures feel natural and always had us laughing. She made it very easy to be in the moment at our wedding, she made sure to follow our timeline and capture all of our photos we requested. She truly knows how to capture the most special moments. It was amazing to see our family and friends emotions all over again through pictures and I will treasure them forever!
Throughout the wedding planning process Lauren was always responsive and organized. We received sneak peeks within 24 hours and delivered our engagement and wedding galleries very quickly!
Lauren truly captured our love and we are so grateful. We have already scheduled a holiday mini session with Lauren and look forward to working with her! We highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for their wedding photographer! -

Amazing Photographer and Person!
We had originally hired Lauren to photograph our wedding in 2020, but due to Covid-19 had to reschedule to 2021. Unfortunately, she was already booked for our new date. Lauren is such a good photographer that we tried to work with our other vendors to find a date that would work for her - she's seriously that good! My fiance and I live in Chicago, and we had the great fortune of meeting up with Lauren there to do our engagement shoot. She is so professional and friendly. Neither of us are very good in front of a camera, but Lauren made everything fun and easy. She provides the right amount of direction without feeling bossy or forced. We couldn't be happier with how our engagement shoot turned out and are so upset that she won't be a part of our big day. If you have the chance to work with Lauren, take it!! -

Lauren is fantastic! We hired her to shoot our wedding in June, but unfortunately due covid 19, we had to reschedule to a date that Lauren was already booked for :( With that being said, she did shoot out engagement photos and it was a wonderful experience! She was so easy to work with, and made the whole process a lot of fun. My fiance does not like photos and she was able to get him to actually enjoy it, and in turn captured photos that we will cherish forever. Although we won't actually get to have Lauren the day of our wedding, we did get the experience of her being our photographer. From the beginning she was easy to communicate with, customized a package based on what we were looking for, and overall made the decision making easy and stress-free. She kept in touch in the year leading up to the wedding with helpful emails, reminders of what she needed from us etc. I have no doubt that she would have been absolutely amazing the day of the wedding and I would recommend her to anyone. I'm hoping that we will have another reason to hire a photographer in the future so I can hire her! -

Jessica Sent on 04/15/2020Absolutely Amazing!
Our wedding pictures came out better than we could have ever imagined. We had a winter wedding and when it started to snow outside, she was as excited as we were and did not hesitate to go outside with us to get some amazing picture at night in the snow!
Lauren has a way of making you, and your wedding, party feel very comfortable and making you laugh, which really makes the classic “posed” pictures come to life. It was really important to us to be present during our day and not be concerned with the “details” and Lauren made that very easy. She didn’t force any photos and instead captured what was happening naturally - some of my favorite photos of the day (besides the snow of course!) were the more “candid” photos – our first dance, laughing during our first look, a mouth full of cake, and of course all of the fun on the dancefloor.
Lauren perfectly captured the love, joy, and fun of our wedding day and we are grateful that we have all of those memories that we can look back on in our wedding album. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking to book their wedding photographer! -

Catherine Sent on 02/01/2020Absolutely amazing!
I cannot say enough great things about Lauren. When I first started looking for a photographer I was drawn to how light and airy and natural all of Lauren's photos were. After going back and forth for a bit we didn't even think about looking at another photographer and when we met her it sealed the deal. She is so professional and wonderful and puts you at ease. Lauren is well educated as a photographer but also in the wedding business which came in handy during the planning process. She was sooo quick to respond with every question I had and always answered thoroughly and thoughtfully. Engagement pics were included in the package which helped us get to know her even more and become more comfortable for our wedding day. Leading up to our wedding she reached out to come up with a day of timeline as well as a list of photos we wanted which was so helpful. She even reached out to vendors for final details so I didn't have to. Those last few days leading up to the wedding are stressful so this meant the world. What stood out to me most was that almost a year after our first meeting and leading up to our wedding she remembered some details that were very important to us on the big day. We were never just numbers to her-- she truly gets to know the clients she works with. Our wedding day was amazing and she and her assistant eased into our day effortlessly. Many family and friends commented how much they LOVED Lauren and her assistant--from the bridal parties, to our parents and guests. The moments they captured are breathtaking and we will treasure them forever. I'll recommend Lauren to anyone I know getting married and I am happy that we have a go-to photographer for any future big life moments we might want captured. -

Amazing photographer!
We worked with Lauren for our January wedding at the Towers in Narragansett, RI (and an engagement shot the summer beforehand on Narragansett beach!). We absolutely loved working with her. From our initial email exchanges with Lauren, to meeting with her in person, to our engagement photo session, and the wedding itself, Lauren was responsive, friendly, punctual, and attentive. She was comfortable giving us direction when we needed it (both in front of the camera and in terms of planning the event itself), while really letting us tell her what we wanted and envisioned and making it happen. We absolutely loved all of the photos she took at our engagement session and wedding and cannot thank or recommend her highly enough. -

Highly recommended! Cool, calm & competent.
Lauren is competent, professional and made the awkward process of being "models for a day" enjoyable and relaxing. She is extremely reasonably priced for the quality and care that she puts in to her work. I was a nervous wreck leading up to the ceremony, and she handled it so well. Her calm demeanor was crucial to helping minimize stress on a very stressful day. I have zero regrets about our choice to hire her to capture our wedding. The second photographer was also great! -

Lauren is a total professional - warm, friendly, reaponsove, and just a pleasure to work with. And most importantly her photos were beautiful! We aren't always very comfortable in front of a camera but Lauren really helped us relax and enjoy it. The fact that her package includes an engagement session is awesome, it gave us a chance to get to know her and get comfortable with portraits. She was fantastic on our wedding day - she was calm, patient, and accommodating. We love our photos and we loved the experience of working with her. -

I have worked with Lauren on four different occasions now! She has done our engagement photos and in house session just for fun, my wedding and even a Halloween session! I don’t even know where to begin with all of the AMAZING things about her! We started off as complete strangers as I stumbled across her instagram a year ago! Through each session we have with Lauren I am continually impressed with her ability to make us feel SO comfortable, her level of professionalism, her knee eye to make you look great (even when you don’t feel it) & most important of all I am always blown away by her love of what she does. Her love for photography and making sure you have the best photos, are comfortable, and having the best time is the reason we will never chose another photographer! Lauren has become like a friend to us and we scream her name from the roof tops every time we get complemented on our photos! I promise, look no further, this is your photographer you will not regret it!! -

Can’t wait!
Lauren did our engagement session already, and needless to say we were floored by her work. She is professional, and worked so hard to fit us into her busy schedule so we could get our photos done when the leaves were just changing. I can’t wait for our wedding photos next October!! -

Thank you, Lauren!
Lauren was fantastic to work with. She helped us organize a great engagement shoot a few months before our wedding, and we loved the shots. We knew we were in good hands! She hired a second shooter for our wedding, and she was fantastic as well. Our first sneak peek came back and we love everything! Thank you!! -

Devin Sent on 12/19/2018Dream come true
Lauren is absolutely the best! We were the first wedding to book Lauren in 2018 and one of the last weddings of the year. We got married October 20th 2018.
She made us feel so comfortable and we even had fun taking photos. Now let me just point out we are SO awkward and uncomfortable on camera and she did such an amazing job working with us to be comfortable and look good our photos look like something from a magazine we never knew we could even look good on camera and everyone who sees our photos absolutely gush over the photography and the amazing quality. If there is one thing I’d never change from the vendors we chose it’s Lauren she knows what she’s doing and does it well! I wouldn’t trust anybody else with the prescious memories of the most special day. She got so many great shots and somewhere managed to never be noticed while catching in the moment shots. We never felt awkward or paparazzied and when we started to stress over typical wedding stuff she always found a way to bring us back to the happy moments and smiling and having fun. We will be hiring her for all of our photography needs in the future. The guests and family all loved her and the outcome of the photos! Seriously Lauren is so talented we are so lucky and grateful to have booked her, it’s the best decision we made!! You won’t regret booking with her she is the sweetest person to work with and so amazingly talented. I’d also like to add we are a lgbtq couple and a lot of professionals can make us feel uncomfortable or awkward in situations especially regarding our marriage (yes even in 2018) and Lauren made us feel so comfortable and accepted and that’s such a rare thing to just feel normal and not be afraid or awkward to kiss your partner. She made us truly feel like it was a magical day all about us and our love. -

We totally suggest her for your next photo shoot!! Thanks Lauren!
