as seen in:
I’m a wedding and elopement photographer based in Tampa, Florida. I’ve photographed 200+ weddings locally, across the U.S., and internationally. I bring a designer’s eye and a calm, easygoing presence to every wedding. Most of your day, I’m capturing what’s real. During portraits, I’ll guide you through a few editorial moments, so your gallery has both the candid feel and a handful of images that feel like art.
I believe the freedom to love and marry who you want is a human right. My work is a space without discrimination, where we connect as people first.
On a more personal level, art has always been my safe space. It is where I have found my voice and perspective in the world. And the work that I do has been a reminder of how special it is to appreciate the good moments we get to experience in life. The moments of joy, laughter, tears, hugs.These moments are fleeting, and they’re the reason the hard parts of life are worth it. Your photos are how you remember that.

Our experience together is personal. I want to know you as people, not just as a couple on a timeline.
Your photos should look like you. I document what actually happens, then add a few editorial portraits with gentle direction, so your gallery feels both real and artful.
This is an affirming space for every kind of couple and family: every identity, body, culture, and family structure.

values
Whether you're local or want a destination celebration, experience is everything. Your day should be fun and stress-free, and my role is to help facilitate that while I capture your story in an artful way. Life moves fast and it's far from perfect—the mess, the smallest details, and fleeting moments all come together to tell your story.
To help couples who lead with empathy feel comfortable, calm, and free to celebrate their love however they choose.

a little more about me
I’ve been an artist my whole life. I spent hours drawing and painting, then found my way into visual design and earned a BFA in graphic design in 2017. That same year I fell in love with photography, and I went full-time in 2019. Since then I’ve photographed over 200 weddings locally, across the U.S., and internationally. I’m empathetic and sentimental by nature, and every couple I photograph is different. Showing that is what I do best.
Lauren's Professional Bio
more details
- Sebastien and Tracy
"when we did meet in person it was like we already knew each other. She was very friendly and kind to our family and friends. She captured so many intimate moments that were very moving for us."
- Michael and Cassandra
"If I’m being honest, my husband and I are not the most comfortable in front of the camera and that can sometimes translate in photos. So we wanted someone that would help give us direction but also capture us authentically. Lauren did just that. Her easygoing personality helped us feel comfortable around her and in front of the camera."

testimonial
I’m for couples who lead with empathy. Couples who believe love is love, that every family structure is valid, and that everyone deserves a seat at the table.
Queer couples. Multicultural and bilingual families. Couples blending cultures, faiths, or traditions. Couples with chosen family in the front row. People who’d rather be present than pose.
If you care about kindness, equity, and making space for the people you love, we’ll get along.
