Alex Sent on 01/17/2021Best CO-based wedding photographer
I can't recommend Lauren enough as a photographer. Lauren shot our wedding weekend including a hike-to-it, sunrise mountaintop ceremony, multiple outdoor receptions, rehearsal dinner with family photos, and engagement photos. She was incredibly professional and easy to work with leading-up to the wedding (responsive, flexible, knowledgeable of sites), she scoped out our ceremony site in advance to make sure she had the right set-up for the day itself, and made us feel comfortable and natural as she took our photos on the big day. Lauren has a fine arts degree in photography and a natural artist's eye. We ended up with a TON of photos capturing lots of small moments that we'll cherish forever. If you're looking for a wedding photographer (or just someone who can help you update your family photo book), look no more and just hire Lauren. -

We couldn't be happier with our experience with Lauren. She was kind, warm, and her communication was clear and professional from the start. She made the entire process feel so stress free and easy. Lauren did such a wonderful job capturing our intimate ceremony beautifully balancing candid, emotional moments with thoughtfully composed portraits. The mix of film and digital photography added so much depth and character to our gallery. Every image perfectly captured what a joyous day and how we felt. We are so thrilled with the final photos. -

Adam Sent on 03/07/2026Incredible experience! Highly recommended.
Lauren did photography for our wedding and we could not be happier! I feel that her greatest strength is her incredible adaptability. While we had a plan, she expertly went beyond that and rolled with what happened on our big day to capture plenty of candids and impromptu shots that we will treasure forever. She was extremely approachable to our family and friends, helped us look our best, and put us at ease with her creative instincts and warmth. I'm stunned at the level of organization and professional care in the final product as well. We are so grateful! -

I cannot speak highly enough of Lauren and her talent! She was a joy to work with and a grounding presence. I never had to worry about if a moment was being captured, because she was always there and so on top of things. Plus, her creativity and ability to think through a shot is incredible. Working with her is a dream and I cannot recommend her enough! -

Photos were the TOP priority for us when it came to our budget because EVERYONE mentions you shouldn't skimp on your photographer and it was very important to us. My wife found Lauren and we were obsessed with her photos. We then became more obsessed with Lauren when we met her and spent our day with her. She was so attentive and kind. She was everywhere all of the time but never in the way, which I feel a lot of people run into. We asked her to capture the vibe of the day and focus on all of our genuine interactions. She not only did that, but exceeded it with her incredible shots! We are beyond thrilled with our gallery and appreciate all of the work Lauren did. We got digital, film, polaroid and dad cam footage. Love all of it. Thank you again, Lauren! (The smallest sample of her incredible work. SO many others.) -

Best decision
Lauren was absolutely amazing to work to work with! She was so easy and fun to work with from our engagement shoot to our wedding day. We are beyond thrilled with how our images turned out! Lauren perfectly captured our day in the most organic way, it’s like reliving the entire day each time we look at the photos. I couldn’t recommend her enough and of course always add on the film!

Lauren is the pinnacle of wedding photography! Seriously, I know how overwhelming it is to choose a photographer in the mix of wedding planning. Do yourself the biggest favor and look no further! Lauren captured our day on a mix of digital, film, and polaroid. We HIGHLY recommend adding film to your photo session as they ended up being some of our absolute favorites in our gallery. If you are looking for someone who is kind, caring, confident, creative, and adventurous, pick Lauren. She made my husband and I feel so important and advocated for our wishes even when things got 'busy' during the day. She reminded us to take time to ourselves to document the love we have for each other and I am so grateful to have those photos to look back on forever. I am also so thankful for Lauren's adventurous spirit especially when our dance floor turned slip-n-slide and we spent hours dancing in the pouring rain. She wasted no time waterproofing her camera and then spend the rest of the night getting soaking wet to document every moment dancing with our friends and family! Lauren is the best of the best and you will not regret working with her. :) -

We loved working with Lauren!
We loved working with Lauren. We strongly recommend working with her. She was our only photographer for a 100 guest wedding and she captured everything we wanted. She not only did an amazing job capturing the moments we wanted but also the essence and energy of the night. She is very professional, organized and a calming presence to have around. If you are looking for a great photographer, Lauren has you covered! -

Melina Sent on 01/09/2023Lauren is a rockstar
We hired Lauren for our September 2022 wedding, and it was honestly one of the best decisions we could have made. Lauren spends time getting to know her couples before their big day, and that truly goes such a long way into making the process comfortable and the product that much more special and intimate. Not only did she deliver a stunning set of photos, her presence on the day of (helping organize family shoots and making sure everyone had their boutonnieres!!!) was invaluable. Lauren is pure talent and I would re-book her in a heartbeat. -

Rachel Sent on 11/16/2022Thank you Lauren!
One of the best decisions we made in this process was to choose Lauren for our wedding! She is an absolutely brilliant photographer and from the very beginning, we felt very cared for and supported by her. On the wedding day, she was such a calming and professional presence, and she captured every single important second of that day. Her photography style is so personal and beautiful; our jaws literally dropped when we got our preview photos back. I'm always a little nervous about looking awkward in photos, but she really put us at ease and captured the joy and love we felt.
She delivered our full gallery to us less than two months after the wedding, which is incredible given how busy vendors are this year! The photos brought us to tears; it was so wonderful seeing the magic of our day captured so beautifully.
Our package came with a free engagement session, but we were an out-of-town couple and wouldn't have been able to come to Colorado for an extra shoot, so she let us do a "day-after" shoot instead where we got to get all dressed up again and go deeper into the mountains for some gorgeous Colorado mountain wedding photos, including some on film (which I HIGHLY recommend you add to your package - the photos came out so soft and magical). That was a huge highlight of our wedding weekend, getting to have some quiet time together to enjoy nature and document our weekend without any pressure of the wedding day timeline.
I simply can't say enough good things about Lauren; I know we will treasure these photos our entire lives! -

Keep on getting compliments on our photos!
If I made two good decisions during this process one is Lauren, second is my husband. Not only were the pictures AMAZING so is she. Kind, professional, responsive, and just so talented. I thought It might feel awkward to take our engagement photos but it was quite the opposite. She played music, gave us direction, and just let us play around. Of course this just built to the wedding day. All the photos are so beautiful and unique. Also highly suggest you book film with your photos because those were some of my favorites. -

Skyler Sent on 07/20/2022Lauren was amazing!
Lauren was one of the first vendors we hired in our wedding planning process. She was easy to communicate with, super flexible, professional and kind! She captured beautiful photos in what can be such a chaotic environment. We received a large portion of our photos just a few days after our wedding (queue the tears!!) and the other photos we received about a month after the wedding. These photos are absolutely perfect and so very special to us! Thank you! -

Sierra Sent on 11/30/2025Authentic and Fun
Lauren captured the day perfectly and made us feel comfortable throughout the day! The final images had a variety of styles that helped portray the depth of the emotions shared by everyone.
Lauren's laid-back and relaxed personality made us feel at ease and comfortable the entire time. This was important to us, as both of us are relatively camera shy.
She captured everything we wanted her to and did so in a way that was authentic to ourselves and our story, and we couldn't be happier with our choice to work with her. We would highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a wedding photographer (or engagment photographer, as we worked with her for our engagement photos as well). -
