Marsella L. Sent on 12/13/2023Amazing one of a kind memorable wedding videographer
Lauren was absolutely amazing to work with! She is extremely talented and really takes into account each couples unique story to make a special video. When we met with Lauren, we told her our story and she was able to help us craft ideas to add to our wedding video. It’s the best keepsake to have for your wedding and now something that will stay with the family. I definitely recommend Lauren from Lovebug Productions, she is passionate, fun, and will create wonderful memories. -

Lori S. Sent on 11/28/2023Thankful We Booked Lovebug!!
We were originally uncertain about having a videgrapher for our wedding. The costs were daunting, the styles we had seen didn't seem to match our personalities, and we were overwhelmed by the sheer number of things we needed to plan for. It was the thought of having video of our oldest and youngest family memebers that kept bringing us back thinking we should do this, and then the clouds parted and we found Lauren with Lovebug Pictures. Her style is a dream come true, her amazing talent shines in every interaction, every film clip and the final masterpieces she creates. While her documentary style resonated with us, she also made everything so US. The videos authentically showcase our wedding and relationship in the most pure way, while also making us look really cool. If you're reading this: *this is your sign*. Having wedding photos is fantastic but the day is a whirlwind and having these special videos is something you'll be grateful for.. forever. -

Leah M. Sent on 01/23/2022Amazing videographer who knows how to tell a story!
This was hands down the best experience I've had working with a videographer. Lauren created a promotional video for a weekly event we hold at my store. As a business owner, finding someone who you trust to bring your vision to life is hard. There is an idea swirling around in your head but will someone else be able to see the same vision? Lauren was able to combine all of the ideas I had and add in elements I didn't even know I wanted but now can not imagine the video without. We stayed on budget and she was personable and easy to work with throughout the entire process. -

From the moment we discovered the Lovebug pictures website, we were captivated by Lauren’s talent and knew she was the perfect choice for our wedding.
Working with Lauren was an absolute dream come true. Her calm and cheerful demeanor made her a delight to be around on our wedding day. No challenge was too great for her, and she effortlessly captured the essence of our multi-day, multi-event wedding. Despite the long hours, Lauren consistently brought the best energy, helping us stay fully present in each moment.
Lauren's responsiveness and organizational skills were remarkable. She was always just a message away, ensuring that every detail was taken care of. She also helped us incorporate aspects of our culture into the music for the video. When we watched our wedding film, we were genuinely amazed at how she beautifully encapsulated every precious moment. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Lauren, and her masterpiece will undoubtedly be cherished in our family for generations.
We wholeheartedly recommend Lauren to anyone seeking a videographer who not only captures events but also emotions, making every memory truly timeless.

Lauren is the best! Not only did she create a timeless wedding video for us to share with our family and friends, but she was a pleasure to work with and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera..not that we even remotely conscious we were being filmed on our wedding day, lol.
With her background in film and tv production, she'll be able to easily execute any vision you might have for your wedding video. I highly recommend Lovebug Pictures to anyone wanting something above and beyond the boilerplate wedding video! -

Rachel W. Sent on 09/05/2023Wedding video is priceless!
We had such a lovely time working with Lauren for our wedding last spring! She brings a light, fun, invigorating energy to every interaction. This was perfectly balanced with her attention to detail, professionalism, and overall talent behind the camera. We ended up upgrading our package a couple months out after realizing just how generous and comprehensive her other offerings were. We felt so spoiled by her use of film in addition to digital, and we will no doubt be cherishing these videos as the gems they are for the rest of our lives. If you’re questioning whether videography is worth it, I’m here to let you know - it’s truly priceless! Lauren made us feel taken care of and held the whole time through. So grateful to you, Lauren - thank you!! -

Greer Z. Sent on 05/22/202310/10 would do it again.
If I thought screaming my love for Lovebug Pictures from a mountain top would be an effective way to leave a review, I would do it. I cannot fully express my gratitude for Lauren and what she provided for my husband and me on our wedding day. I honestly don't think of myself as comfortable in front of the camera, but Lauren is so sweet, so fun, so cool, so confident behind the camera, that one of my favorite parts of our big day was the moment when we got to sneak off with her and our photographer. And the end product! Oh my god! If you are on the fence about whether a videographer is worth it - LAUREN IS WORTH IT. She captured everything so perfectly, she made us look cool, and the video makes me sob every time I watch it. Which is often. 10/5 stars for Lovebug Picutres! -

Katie C. Sent on 05/03/2023Unique and perfect video!
Lauren is fantastic to work with! I initially reached out to her after watching videos on her website. So many wedding videos are cookie cutter, but Lauren's are unique and clearly crafted to fit each couple. Her energy is infectious and working with her was truly a joy! We aren't on camera regularly and initially felt nervous, but it was easy to relax with Lauren. I absolutely love the videos we have now to remember our wedding day. The videos really capture how our day felt, and fit our personalities so well. Thank you so much Lauren!! I highly recommend Lovebug for your wedding videographers! -

Eleno R. Sent on 02/14/2023One of our favorite wedding vendors! Simply amazing.
Since the moment my husband and I met Lauren at the Portland Wedding Crawl (2 years before our 8.26.22 wedding), we knew we wanted her to capture our day. Anyone who's met her knows how friendly, funny, easy going and creative she is. Follow her instagram and you'll be amazed by her talent! From our first meeting to the day of, we knew we were in good hands with her. Leading up to the big day, she was always accessible for any questions we had. On the day of the wedding, she helped guide some of our movements - which we were so thankful for bc we had no idea how to not look awkward on camera lol. She has this perfect balance of somehow blending into the background while also feeling like one of your besties always by your side.
Now how do I put into words the emotion our wedding video evokes in me? We knew her final work of art would be amazing, but we were still blown away when we got our first glimpse! We have rewatched it over and over again and love it a little more each time. We are so grateful we met Lauren and overall so happy with our decision to have a videographer in addition to a photographer.
If you are on the fence, take the leap of faith with Lovebug Pictures!

Sarah A. Sent on 01/23/2023Best wedding decision
Hands down, the best wedding decision we made was hiring Lauren. She is ridiculously talented, a ton of fun to work with, and can take a kernel of your vision and literally make your entire life flash before your eyes.
We chose Lauren because her portfolio shows love stories unfolding between super interesting characters. You really feel like you get to know the people getting married rather than just basic venue drone shots and a flowing veil. Her work includes your wedding day, but tells a much bigger story about your personalities and relationship. We chose to invest in having Lauren with us the day before the wedding as well to capture our family and friends playing at the beach and having happy hour at a brewery. It really helped us get relaxed in front of the camera before the wedding and the footage turned out so awesome!!! Just a different dimension when everyone is goofing around in swimsuits vs tuxedos.
Early on, we talked with Lauren about creating something that would incorporate childhood footage of us and our families. We wanted it to feel like a documentary that would be an heirloom for our kids and grandkids to recognize themselves in one day. She combed through dozens of hours of archival footage and wove it into our story so beautifully! She found the most incredible little frames of detail from our childhoods and connected them to our vows in ways that just made us both feel so seen and captured. Watching it back literally feels like she is inside our memories, and I can feel all these little pieces of myself surfacing during such a special life milestone. Our parents absolutely treasure this too.
Words don’t do her work justice, but you will not regret investing in her art. Every other part of our wedding was kind of a blur - the venue, the food, the flowers, the music, etc. They were all lovely, but video captures everything in a way you can actually keep with you and re-experience forever. Can’t recommend Lovebug Pictures enough!

Caitlin C. Sent on 02/22/2023The absolute best!!
If you are reading this, this is your sign to hire Lauren of Love Bug Pictures for your big day! I have a lot to say so I've split this review into 3 parts:
1. Lauren's Talent and Professional Background
I am a filmmaker and have an MFA in Film and Television Production from the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts. As shooting my own wedding seemed like not a realistic option, I began my search online for that special someone. We didn't want some cheesy video of us we would cringe to watch, we wanted something fun, poetic, energizing...something that captures our spirit and excitement as our new family carves our own path. I searched and I searched through many a teary-eyed traditional "I do" before stumbling onto Lauren's work.
When I was searching for someone to capture our wedding, I wanted someone who not only had talent, but who had that "thing." That special sauce of vision, creativity, humour, and excellent vibes. In a wedding-obsessed culture, I wanted someone who saw the humanity in it all - the mess, the chaos, the humour, the real-lifeness.
Lauren is the whole package. Not only is she a blast to work with, but she also has a passion for storytelling, which shines through in her incredible body of work. She has a background in documentary film and truly knows her stuff. Her eye for capturing real moments and weaving them into a story is beautiful, touching, and often hilarious.
2. Our experience with Lauren
Our relationship with Lauren went the distance! As many a pandemic wedding couple experienced, our wedding date was postponed. Lauren was incredibly flexible and gracious and worked with us as we found our new date, a year later. Beyond that, Lauren brought her unique vision and shared our excitement. Lauren truly BROUGHT IT on our wedding weekend. She is energetic, observant, self-sufficient, and an absolute pleasure to be around. Technically, she is also skilled: Lauren had a drone, a Super 8 Camera, her own lighting and audio set up... list goes on. Let's just say I was very impressed. With Lauren and her camera around, I felt like we were in super good hands (and as I am a film micro-manager and true creative I felt I could relinquish creative control to Lauren and that all would be okay). Trusting Lauren to do her own thing was the best thing and we were rewarded by this trust, because our video is spectacular.
3. The final video
I sometimes watch the film Lauren made and just stare at it in awe.I can't believe it's our video. It's so perfect in every way. From the music, to the edits, all of it is superb.
Do yourself a favour and book Lauren and tell her Paisley sent ya! :) -

Lauren is the sweetest! She’s incredibly talented and a complete joy to work with. We collaborated together for a creative project and the end result blew me away! Not only was the end result more than I could have imagined, the entire process of working with her was super fun and inspiring. She’s attentive, was able to capture what I was envisioning and took it to the next level with her creative insight. She’s also really caring and for me, that’s what makes her extra special! -

Sarah E. Sent on 08/10/2020Lauren is a True Artist & Documentarian
Lauren & I went to grad school together at Duke University in the Master of Fine Arts in Experimental & Documentary Arts Program. I was so impressed with the incredibly beautiful, meaningful, raw & real work that she produced there that when it came to selecting the *artist* (notice I said *artist*) to capture this incredibly important step in my journey with my partner, it had to be lauren. Her careful consideration for aesthetic, mood, music & creating a piece of art to remember your special day is unmatched. Our wedding was super witchy, non-traditional & vibey as heck. Lauren *got it* & that was so important to me. In addition to the artfulness & beauty of her work, as a documentarian, Lauren captures REAL moments. Not posed, not forced, but those moments that are so full of love & life that you wish you could bottle them up & hold them forever. With Lauren as your wedding videographer, you can. You will cherish the piece that she makes about this special day for the rest of your life. In addition, Lauren is SO FUN & brings amazing, joyful, down to earth energy to every space she enters. So if you want a gal who is both an amazing artist & human, she's the person for the job. Love you Lauren! -

Caitlyn B. Sent on 10/26/2020Loved LoveBug!
My wife and I went on a few wedding venue crawls when we were doing all the fun planning things and met with a number of videographers and there is definitely no shortage of them out there which can be very overwhelming. We were hesitant to even get a videographer but after hearing some good things from our photographer we decided to meet with Lauren at lovebug and have a beer and see if we liked her vibe. Needless to say we immediately clicked with her and said we would love to move forward with her. With everything pandemic related to say it was a typical experience would be far from the truth but despite everything, Lauren was able to step up time and time again even when the fires in the PNW made things that much more hectic. We had a teaser video within a week after the wedding that blew us away. We are excited to see the finished product and would absolutely recommend/use her for any future filming needs! -

Instalove...
Lauren's cinematography style caught my eye instantly, it was unique, timeless, and artistic. We even met at a wedding crawl, to add to the fun! Having a wedding during a pandemic, we wanted to make sure we could share our special day with those who couldn’t be with us. Our short videos were pure ART! Lauren got us hyped up from day one! My husband and I have our own version of how we met on Instagram. She creatively incorporated how my husband slid into my DM. You’ll have to go back and watch it! Look up Thuy & Garrett to see all the unique elements in our footage that makes Lauren so special. We couldn’t be happier!
