Years from now, memories from your wedding may wander, but they don’t have to. When you invest in photography for your big day, your future self will thank you. 

Imagine flipping through your wedding album full of photos representing your legacy with your grandchildren decades from now. Sounds remarkable, right?

If you don't think pictures are important, wait until they’re all you have left.

Traveling Wedding & Elopement Photographer

First, I want to remind you that YOUR wedding is YOUR day. So let’s make it one to remember. Forget cookie-cutter ideas and being rushed. Instead, I’ll make sure you have the adventure of a lifetime.

While I’ll use poses and prompts to deliver the must-have shots, I think guiding you to be yourself makes for the best photos. Let’s have you two run around, roll on the ground, dance, jump, snuggle, or whatever else gets you belly laughing and getting all up in each other's business.

And when your big day arrives, I’ll be by your side every step of the way. You can count on me to keep everything organized and document it all. Your only job is to enjoy it to the fullest.

You know your story is meaningful—here’s how we’ll tell it. 

How The Magic Happens

Tori & David

The most special thing I have to say about Lauren is that she not only connected with me and my husband during my wedding planning and wedding itself, but she also connected with so many people at my wedding. I had SO MANY guests come up to me during and after my wedding praising Lauren’s kindness and personality. The fact that my family members, guests and friends were coming up to me, just over the moon about Lauren is something that is so amazing. It is such a special feeling to know that the people I love and care about see the same amazing qualities in Lauren that I saw from the very beginning.

"She went above and beyond and created a masterpiece that allows me to relive my perfect day."

— Kevin & Emily

“Lauren managed to make us feel so completely at ease and comfortable around her, like we'd known her forever, and yet also allowed us to have privacy and feel like we were totally alone. I will always be grateful for that.

And then there are the actual PHOTOS. Which I adore. In the moment, I thought, "These will probably turn out great, right?" but they turned out so much better than I could've hoped, and I am obsessed with Lauren the person and Lauren the photographer as a result. Hire her. Befriend her. Listen to her. You will not regret it. In fact you'll be thanking yourself for years to come.
.”

“I can't imagine a better stranger to spend most of your wedding day with.”

Devin & Travis


If you're considering hiring Lauren, just do it! You will not regret it. She is so exceptionally talented, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. She put my husband and I at ease the moment we met and made us feel like we were old friends. She was wonderul with giving us direction and posing, not to mention she will be your biggest hype woman! We had some unexpected strange weather on our wedding day, but that was no problem for Lauren! She turned our day and the strange weather into pure magic! She exceeded every expectation we had. We can't wait to go back to Colorado and work with Lauren again!

"we are so in love with how she captured our wedding"

—  Youn & Kalen

“My husband and I are very awkward people in front of the camera, but Lauren worked with us, made us laugh, and worked her magic of editing to make us look SO GOOD. I look at the photos from our engagement shoot and the wedding, and I see how happy we were in those moments. She captured all the essence of emotions throughout the day. I highly recommend hiring Lauren as your photographer. Her energy and her positivity are something I really appreciated during a very stressful wedding planning. She really is your friend!! Photography was the most stressful part of wedding planning due to my anxiety in front of the camera. Still, thanks to Lauren and her professionalism, personality, and mad skills, photography turned out the be the BEST thing!”

“I am not sure if there are enough words in the dictionary of how special Lauren and her photography are to us.”

—  Matt & Leeana 

“Her attention to detail, amazing skill, and providing the best service is truthfully outstanding. Also, having a great person beside you the entire time of your special day made any worries or stress melt away! Lauren was so helpful with providing recommendations and narrowing down our photo timeline perfectly so we could get all the photos we wanted. We also were nervous because my now husband and I are slightly awkward with photos, but as mentioned before, Lauren made it easy and had us smiling the entire time! We are so happy with all the memories captured both for our engagement shoot and wedding, and I’m so excited for the rest to arrive! Thank you, Lauren, for all you have done and continue to do!”

“We could not have wished for anyone better than Lauren to capture our big day.”

Maggie & Patrick

Lauren is THE BEST at all things photography and all things wedding!! My husband and I are out of state and from the first phone call we knew we wanted her with us on our wedding day. 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!). She saved our sanity and helped make our day run so smoothly. If you are on this page, BOOK HER NOW!

Upcoming Travels

Why not skip ahead to the part of life where we travel the world?

A: I do not! RAW files are huge and aren't accurate representations of my work. Half the magic happens in post-processing and editing anyways. 

Q: Do you give us the RAW photos?

A: Not to worry! We can keep an eye on the forecast and either make a backup plan or reschedule when needed.

Q: What if there is bad weather?

A: My job is to help you feel comfortable and confident, and it's okay if it takes time for you to loosen up. I have an arsenal of poses and prompts, and I promise you will be naturals by the end of your session!
