You get to celebrate and live in the moment. I’m your friend along for the ride, quietly capturing the fleeting moments that remind you how it felt, who was there, and the beauty all around you.
Most of what you’ll see here happened on its own. The rest are a few editorial moments we made together during portraits, with gentle direction and plenty of room to be yourselves.
Your day as it actually happened, with a little bit of art.

"WE HAD SO MUCH FUN WORKING WITH HER AND I CANNOT POSSIBLY RECOMMEND HER ENOUGH. AS AN LGBTQ COUPLE IN FLORIDA, WE ALSO WANTED TO FIND VENDORS WHO DONT JUST ACCEPT BUT CELEBRATE DIVERSE COUPLES AND THAT IS 100% LAUREN."
- Jeff + Jess
"She integrated so well with everyone that she felt like a guest; this allowed her to take really natural candids of everyone during the day. Even though we expected her photos to be stunning, we were absolutely blown away. We really couldn't have asked for more; she exceeded our expectations in every single way.
- Antoine + Cassandra
"She captured special moments and the essence of us and our venue. We had a late evening wedding with low lighting and only a talented photographer can capture brown skin and make us look amazing."
- becca and matt
"She focused on what was important to us and got artsy with it too! We really loved the lighting and the use of angles. I never felt as if I was being photographed too much and during our ceremony I didn't even notice she was there, she was quick but got the shots!"
- monet and yoana
"Lauren is a master of a taking whatever your vision is and ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS surpassing it! Going through the photos from our wedding legitimately fills me with so much joy and MANY laughs as well! Truly, truly happy that we selected Lauren, we never had a doubt that she would do an amazing job. "

- Alex and Melissa
" I always knew I would hire her to capture my wedding. Lauren was there to listen and take detailed notes for the style of photos we wanted to have. The day of our wedding she arrived with her second photographer and they blew us away.
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.
