Chasing beautiful people around the world with a camera in hand, one story at a time.
Kansas, Colorado, and Destination Wedding Photographer
Over a decade in, I've photographed llamas crashing a ceremony, a first look in the pouring rain, and a bride who chopped her hair mid reception and didn't miss a beat. Your day will have its own version of that unpredictability, and I'll be ready for it.
It's making sure your grandmother's ring as your something borrowed gets its own photo before the day gets away from us, and keeping an eye on the light so we don't miss it while you're busy celebrating. That's the job as much as the camera is.
This is exactly the vibe I'm going for. Yes, I'm your photographer and I am there to do a job. But its more than just photography for me. Its fixing your veil without you having to ask or re-pinning a boutonnière because those dang things never stay put
"She is just a pure ray of sunshine and such a good friend to have as a bridal sidekick (I really think I spent more time with Lauren than I did my husband on my wedding day!)." - Maggie (Colorado)

“We had a ton of fun with her, and every laugh on camera was truly natural due to how much fun we were having.”

Stop shopping for photographers - Lauren is your gal!

I felt like I was talking to my best friend after 5 minutes of meeting her because she’s just so comforting.
— Youn & Kalen
“I am not sure if there are enough words in the dictionary of how special Lauren and her photography are to us.”

What They Said
Because you’ll arguably be spending more time with me than any other wedding vendor, I think it’s best you learn a little bit about who I am.
I've been married nine years and I am still crazy in love with my husband. I think that's part of why I love weddings so much. I know what it feels like to be excited about the future with your person and just be so insanely in love with them, and that's the exact feeling I'm chasing every time I'm behind the camera.

Let's Get Personal
Here's what a session with me actually looks like: I'll probably tell you to make out at the very start, mostly to break the ice, though I fully support it happening regardless.
I do a lot of movement based prompts (walking, spinning, creating actual laughter) mixed with a few editorial, more posed moments, so your gallery ends up feeling like a mix of "caught off guard" and "genuinely gorgeous."
And yes, I will scream "OMG" and "PERFECT" more times than is probably professional. I'm working on it. (I'm not really working on it.)
Outside of weddings, you'll find me reading a spicy novel with a cup of tea, at home with my two girls, or plotting the next state on my list. I'm currently at 10 out of 50 states photographed, and by the end of this year, that number is going up.
Fun fact: I am OBSESSED with lavender—the color, smell, adding it to my lemonade, tea....or in a lavender martini!
