    The photographer you want

    I cannot say enough nice things about working with Lauryn and Bob. Not only do they bring the most genuine and lovely attitude and vibes but they make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. They were so professional and knew exactly what to do and say to get all the family members together and they have such good vision when it comes to posing and backgrounds. And the pictures that came out in the end?*swoon* they are some of the most gorgeous shots! The colors, the lighting, the composition, all of it was so on point and so amazing. And we got our photos back so quickly! I cannot recommend Lauryn enough ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Pro tip: The wedding and engagement photo combo was the way to do it- not only do you get amazing photos of you and your fiancé before the wedding but getting to know Lauryn and Bob prior to the big day was so nice and made us way more comfortable and we knew what to expect/ what it felt like to be in front of the camera.

    Absolutely Amazing!

    My husband and I feel very fortunate to have had Lauryn and Bob capture our special day. Our photos are so beautiful. They went above and beyond, and exceeded my expectations. They were a lot of fun to work with! We were able to be relaxed and have a good time while taking our photos which was so nice! Seriously go book them for your wedding right now!

    Highlight of our vendor team

    I cannot thank Lauryn and Bob enough for being such an important part of our vendor team. Lauryn is such a kind individual and working with her from start to finish was such a fun and easy process. She listened to the things that were most important to us and went above and beyond to capture everything we were most excited about for our big day. We included a coffee table book in our package for which we were supposed to pick 60-70 of our favorite images. My list of absolute top favorite pictures was over 200 which speaks to the quality of Lauryn and Bob's work. I feel so lucky to have gotten to work with the two of them and absolutely recommend them anyone looking for a photographer who you can talk to like a friend.

    Best photographers ever!

    We couldn’t have asked for better wedding photographers. Lauryn and Bob are absolutely incredible at what they do! Of course it poured rain on our wedding day and they were able to capture the most beautiful photos regardless. They are fun, friendly, attentive, and willing to do whatever it takes to get incredible photos. We loved every single photo and we can’t recommend them enough. Thank you Lauryn and Bob! You are seriously the best of the best! Xo

    Incredible Photographer!!

    Choosing Lauryn and Bob to be our photographers was by far the best decision we made during the wedding planning process. They continued to go above and beyond as we navigated planning and replanning our wedding during the COVID-19 pandemic. We had to sacrifice a lot of what we envisioned for our wedding day but getting absolutely gorgeous photos was not one of them. They’re incredibly professional and if you have any worries about what to do in front of a camera that feeling will quickly go away as they direct you on how to look your best.

    One of the best parts of our wedding!

    I cannot give enough praise for Lauryn and Bob! They went above and beyond what was ever expected and they were there the ENTIRE step of the way. From the day we hired them until our pics were delivered, there was constant support and communication. Not to mention how incredibly talented they are! Our pictures turned out phenomenal and we have gotten so many compliments. I literally can not think of one area of improvement, Lauryn made it a priority to get to know us and know what we wanted. After my wedding I was sad that I won't have an excuse to talk to her anymore!

    Couldn’t Say Anything Less Than Amazing

    Working with Lauryn was amazing from the very start. At the last minute during a difficult pregnancy Lauryn was able to squeeze me in. She made the whole experience amazing even though it was thrown together on both our sides. Almost a year and my darling daughter later, I got engaged! The first person we told was Lauryn. Seriously, even before my best friend. I knew immediately that she would be perfect for our engagement photos. She made it so easy for Riley considering he’s never had photos taken. Our family and friends love our photos, more importantly we do! I can’t wait to continue sharing our life with Lauryn.

    Taylor, I feel so lucky that i got to work with you during your maternity shoot. It was such a special session and I am so happy to have your support and friendship. You’re the best!

    Lauryn & Bob are the BEST!

    We are so thankful for Lauryn and Bob and the beautiful photos they captured of our big day! I first contacted Lauryn through her website after seeing her name pop up on WeddingWire. She promptly responded and sent me all of the details needed to book our wedding day. She even jumped on the phone with me to talk through a couple of wedding planner recommendations she had for me based on the vision and vibe we had in mind for our wedding. I'm so glad she had our date open because having Lauryn and Bob capture our big day was the best decision we've ever made! They are fun, creative and a joy to work with! Lauryn has a way of making you feel calm in front of the camera, and offers engagement sessions for her wedding clients to ease your nerves and to just get to know you as a person. We received our wedding album about 2 weeks after our wedding and the photos could not have been more perfect! We can’t get over how beautiful every single photo turned out, especially the golden hour photos! The photos Lauryn and Bob captured will help us relive the joy of our wedding day for years to come!

    Lauryn Kay Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much for your review and for being such a wonderful and easy couple to work with. We loved getting to work with you both, and we can't wait to see what's next for you two! Hugs and thank you again for including us in your wedding day!

    So thankful!

    Lauryn came highly recommended from my wedding planner – and I’m so grateful. I let Lauryn know early on that my fiancée was nervous about being in front of the camera. She suggested an engagement shoot to help us get comfortable and from that first meeting, we knew we had made the right choice. They were so much fun to work with, kept us relaxed, and made it all seem so natural. She cared so much about making our wedding day special. She worked within our schedule (and budget) to make sure we got all of the shots we wanted from the day. She’s great with giving directions, and we were so impressed at her ability to get our family all in one place, looking in the same direction, and with smiles on their faces! She and Bob are incredibly professional and we never had to worry about them getting the right shots. Our wedding photos are beautiful and capture the absolute joy of the day. We are so thankful for Lauryn and Bob!

    Beautiful photos I will cherish forever!

    First off, Lauryn and Bob are the BEST!! Definitely book them!!

    They really came to my rescue. I was having a hard time finding a photographer for my wedding day. There are an overwhelming amount of options for the Portland area and I’m very particular about the photography style I like. I looked at a lot of options, but I just wasn’t finding anyone that stood out to me. After months of indecision, my wedding day was dangerously close and I was still without a photographer. I was so worried I wouldn’t be able to find anybody (because everyone would be booked for that day already) or that I’d find someone but they wouldn’t live up to my expectations and I’d have to compromise my vision, that I started to lose hope. I decided to post on a Facebook wedding page to see if any photographers were still available for that day and I was surprised how many comments I got.

    Even though dozens of photographers contacted me, it was when I saw Lauren’s web page that I knew I could still have the wedding day I dreamed of! Looking through her gallery, I knew instantly that I wanted her to photograph my wedding! Her photography style is so beautiful and was EXACTLY what I was looking for! I honestly couldn’t believe how great things had worked out! I booked her right away (I’m so happy she was available last minute!) and she graciously agreed to work with my budget.

    Lauryn was truly a joy to work with. The planning process went seamlessly, she was always super responsive to emails and offered to help in any way she could, and she was so easy to talk to. She has an infectiously happy and bubbly personality and you can tell she is genuinely interested in the people she meets and works with. Also (as is apparent by her portfolio) she really knows her stuff! I knew my wedding day was in good hands and my mind was finally at ease.

    As expected, Lauryn and Bob were a delight to have around on our wedding day! It’s the best day of your life and A LOT of pictures are going to be taken, so it’s important to have a photographer with a good personality who knows what they’re doing! My husband and I are not usually comfortable in front of a camera, but Lauryn and Bob expertly guided us through the process and helped us feel at ease. The pictures turned out AMAZING and they’re EXACTLY what I hoped for! Not a moment of our wonderful day was missed and now we have beautiful memories to look back on. I’m so grateful for how things worked out and if I ever need pictures taken again, I know who to go to!!

    Thank you so much for this amazing review. It was such a pleasure working with you and Tim on your wedding day! I'm so grateful for having met you.

    Amazing!!!

    My husband and I were honored to have Lauryn photograph our wedding and I cannot say enough positive things about her work. She made our big day that much more special by documenting the moments we were too busy to notice and made us very comfortable being in front of the camera. She was even willing to travel to Idaho for our wedding and spent a second day with us for a “trash the dress” session. We cannot thank her enough for the amount of time she spent before, during and after our big day to bring those photos so close to our hearts. She is a wonderful photographer, artist and all around human and we look forward to more photo sessions in the future with her!

    Thank you for taking the time to write this Mariah! Your wedding was a dream and we feel so fortunate to have been included in it.

    More then I could wished for! Fun, effortless and beautifu!

    Lauryn was more then I could expected. She captured out wedding perfectly. Anyone who's had there picture taken professionally knows it can be a little nerve wrecking ... but Lauryn made it fun and effortless, she's someone you want to be friends with. I could not of imagined having anyone else on our special day. We are so happy that we found her!! If you are planning any special occasion, hire her. She's a true professional with a bright spirit and will make you and your event look and feel like a million bucks!

    Kayla, Thank you so much for your review! We loved being a small part of your wedding day! Getting to know you and your husband was such an absolute joy!

    Amazing, dreamy photos!

    Booking Lauryn & Bob for our wedding was one of the best vendor decisions we made. It didn’t occur to me that we’d be spending nearly every moment of our wedding day with our photographers, but now that I know that, I’m so grateful it was them. When little things went wrong, Lauryn distracted me by asking me to pose for fun photos. They worked magic with our large wedding party & family; making jokes as necessary to lighten the mood. Neither my husband nor I feel particularly comfortable in front of a camera, but we felt totally at ease with these two and it showed in the end product. The photos are absolutely stunning. We received them in a timely manner and the hard copies were delivered in such a thoughtful way! If you need a wedding photographer, book Lauryn Kay Photography – you’ll be so glad you did!

    Wedding Photography Review

    Hiring Lauryn Kay Photography for our wedding was - by far - the best vendor decision my husband and I made! Lauryn is technically brilliant with her camera, lighting exposure, and photo editing, which is wonderful, but even more impressive is her incredible eye and talent for capturing not just an event, but the amazing experience of love and human relationships. The thing that sets her apart is who she is - she brings her whole, lovely self into her work and through her compassion and understanding captures more than just people and settings, she sees beauty and delight and reflects it back to us in her work.
    My husband and I, who are not particularly comfortable with being in the spotlight, felt so at ease working with Lauryn and her husband, Bob. On our wedding day, Lauryn and Bob demonstrated their professionalism, flexibility, and creativity; not only did they fit right in with our family and friends, they also blended right in - they were totally unobtrusive. The end result was a collection of photographs that are truly unique, touching, and absolutely priceless.
    Thank you, Lauryn and Bob, for beautifully capturing so many special moments from our big day!!! Without a doubt, these photographs will be treasured for a lifetime.

    A truly wonderful decision!

    I could not be happier with the team at Lauryn Kay Photography. Lauryn and Bob photographed our Portland wedding in August of 2015. We had no doubts of choosing Lauryn Kay Photography to photograph the most important day of our lives. They made us feel tremendously comfortable before the wedding by listening to our expectations, wants and needs and those were honored on the actual day and our pictures were exactly what we wanted and hoped for. We also went over a photo timeline beforehand, and a list of all the pictures needed or wanted, the name of the family or people, and possible combinations. That was helpful and calmed our stress and nerves because we knew Lauryn Kay Photography had it handled. Lauryn and Bob were professional, on time, worked hard and extremely helpful on the day of. They captured all the perfect moments from all the traditional shots to all the shots we had asked for and the end product was absolutely stunning and perfect. We are so glad and thankful that we chose Lauryn Kay Photography because photos are forever and capture such sweet moments in time and this team does it best! Thank you Lauryn Kay Photography, Lauryn and Bob, our photos are wonderful and your care and expertise in photography made our wedding day just that much more perfect. Much love and thanks, Casey and Nichole Hermens

    A Wedding Planner’s Dream Vendor

    Words cannot express how incredible Lauryn is to work with. She’s direct and tells you exactly what needs to be done (ideal for those of us who are awkward in front of the camera), she’s quick but extremely thorough, professional and prompt, and above all, her photos are amazing! We can’t wait to work with you again!

    Professionalism and Artistry

    I've had the privilege to work with Lauryn and watch her magic. She is attentive, she is caring, she's talented and she has an eye for incredible detail. She truly is an artist and cares so much about her clients and the vendors she works with. When you get Lauryn and Bob as a photography team, you will have a dedicated team that produces beautiful images.
