a joyful + unique wedding experience
To me, wedding photography is way more than just taking images. I want your day to be better and even more memorable because I am there serving you and capturing all of the memories that are being made.
with all my couples, my number one goal is building a relationship for them of trust, comfortability, and confidence in me. From the booking process, to engagement photos, to the wedding day I strive to make the journey stress-free and joyful!
wedding photography
telling your unique story
Those un-posed, laugh out loud, emotional moments are most likely the ones you will fall for over and over again for years to come. Memories are intended to be remembered, talked about, and hold a special place in your heart. Which is why saving your moments inspire me as a photographer.

“Lauren helped make our day seamless! She did everything from helping create a day of timeline to capturing every little detail on our wedding day. Alex and I were both nervous about being in front of the camera, but Lauren put us at ease with her fun loving personality! Not only is she an amazing photographer, but she will bust a move on the dance floor to make sure she gets amazing shots! You can definitely tell that Lauren has been in the wedding business for a long time because she does not miss a thing! She even came prepared with a day of kit stocked with supplies! I cannot tell you how many compliments we have received on our photos. Lauren does amazing work and we could not recommend her enough!”

"Lauren was absolutely amazing to work with, she made the whole experience from booking until wrapping up the wedding easy and an enjoyable process. She was there to answer any questions I had throughout and let me tell you I ask a lot. My husband isn’t one for liking to get his picture taken at all and she made him so relaxed and comfortable and after our engagement session he actually admitted to having a good time. Our wedding day was here and the forecast was showing rain all day. Lauren was so
upbeat and hopeful the whole day that it wasn’t going to rain that it calmed my nerves. It did end up sprinkling a little during some of the pictures at the end, yet some of those ended up being my favorite pictures. She busted her butt the whole day from morning till night and it showed in our photos!”

She made us feel comfortable throughout our engagement session which better prepared us for our wedding day. I met Lauren while Kyle was deployed and I fell in love with her work and her personality. After Kyle and I had our engagement session, he stated he really liked Lauren. She made him feel comfortable and confident with all the poses we did. Good vibes, good energy, and more! Lauren’s passion and enthusiasm will not disappoint you. Her commitment and liveliness is just what you need for your day!”
