wedding & elopement photography
Yes! I love it. tell me more.
Do you want total confidence that you can TRUST your photographer to not only take great photos (duh), but to also be a helpful and friendly person to hang out with for 8+ hours on your wedding day? Are you looking for someone who truly “gets” you and brings out the most special, quirky, and fun parts of your relationship? And are you excited to work alongside someone who can help you make the BEST informed decisions while planning your wedding? I like to remind my couples to look around and enjoy every bit of their engagement and wedding day. And while you’re taking in the moment, I’ll be right beside you photographing it ALL!
love forever

engagement. bridal. wedding.
start here
timeless style
What do I mean by "photos you'll love for a lifetime"? Well, it's easy to see tends that pass through the wedding world, because weddings are naturally so visual and filled with beautiful things! Words like "light & airy" or "dark & moody" get used to describe editing styles, but I'd say my style lands right in the middle. Your photos won't look drastically different than the way everything looked in real life. I seek out bright and colorful backgrounds, and find beautiful natural light that will make you really stand out!
you be you
I start every photo session by saying "The most important thing is to be yourself." It's simple, but so true! If you feel like yourself, (and not a stiff, posed version of yourself) you'll LOVE your photos. I'll help you pose, but the key to having natural, candid looking photos is movement. Those wind-in-your-hair, laughing out loud, magical moments happen with a little prompting from me + confidence from you. I'll keep you moving throughout the session, and we'll have a blast!
posing
editing
This is truly my #1 goal. Your experience and comfort is so important!

"Lauren's skill speaks for itself, she's an amazing photographer. What you can't see, is the kindest, sweetest, most personable person behind the lens. Matthew and I were so comfortable with her from the start. You're hiring a friend, not another vendor. She made taking pictures so easy and fun! There truly was never a dull moment. We were constantly laughing every time we took pictures with her. We couldn't have imagined our wedding day without her. She truly was our favorite wedding vendor."
You're hiring a friend, not another vendor
Angela, 2019 bride
"If you need a photographer for you wedding, HIRE LAUREN! She took the most beautiful engagement photos and wedding pictures. We got married in College Station and she did an amazing job. She was calm, steadfast, and totally in control of her art. It was amazing! She was so professional and knew exactly what she was doing the whole day. I seriously LOVE Lauren and I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much for making our day wonderful and for giving us memories we can cherish for the rest of our lives!"
calm, steadfast, and totally in control
Kate, 2021 bride
"I can't praise Lauren enough for the work she did for my engagement photos and wedding. I was nervous trying to pick a photographer for my wedding since we were getting married six months after our engagement. Lauren was incredible. She got us a quick appointment to do engagement photos, and the photos turned out amazing. She sent me detailed timelines and was very helpful every step of the way. During our wedding, she worked to capture every detail, and it showed in our photos. I'm a little camera shy, so working with Lauren was a dream. She made me feel so comfortable, and she is definitely the person you want around you on your wedding day. Lauren's professionalism is greatly appreciated."
she is definitely the person you want around
Melissa, 2021 bride
Stephanie, 2020 bride
"Lauren has been by far my favorite vendor to work with in planning my wedding! We did our engagement photos and immediately put my now husband and I at ease! The photos were beautiful, and I couldn’t believe that was us in them! Lauren was thoughtful in her communication and preparation in what we wanted our photography to focus on. Now I am looking at our wedding gallery and it’s perfect! She got every big moment and a lot more of our guests than I anticipated."
she got every big moment and a lot more
"I don’t know where to start on how AWESOME Lauren is. She is extremely talented, down to earth, funny, creative, professional...She makes you feel at ease and confident, because who is really 100% confident in front of a camera? Not me! Lauren knew where to be, what to do, what to say and I LOVE every picture. When Lauren holds the camera, magic happens. ALSO she is super quick with her turn around. Thank you Lauren for capturing our engagements, my bridals, and our wedding day so perfectly. They truly are pictures that we will treasure forever."
Amber, 2019 bride
When Lauren holds the camera, magic happens
"Lauren truly wants to understand your vision for your wedding day. She is a beautiful portrait photographer and encourages her subjects to act naturally together in order to capture their relationship perfectly. Her fun personality and energy helped set the vibe for the whole day. Lauren captured all our emotions during our wedding day perfectly, and I’m so happy her work will help us relive our wedding day any day we want."
Stevie, 2018 bride
helped set the vibe for the whole day
"From the very first meeting we were impressed with Lauren's organization, talent, and passion for photography. Lauren is very personable, easy going, and will make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. She has a great eye for detail and captures all the important moments and more. We love how she will give you sneak peaks and and even provide photo galleries ahead of schedule."

"Lauren was absolutely amazing to work with! She made us feel comfortable and at ease every step of the way. Even when it seemed we were running slightly behind schedule, Lauren was a calming presence that just kept right on going till the very end! We have had so many people comment on how beautiful and fun the pictures of our wedding are and we owe it all to Lauren. If you're looking for an outstanding photographer combined with a wonderful person, then you've found both in Lauren!!"
