Do you want total confidence that you can TRUST your photographer to not only document your wedding (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.

Photography that you Will

a timeless style
So what do I mean by "photos that will last a lifetime"? It's easy to see the seasonal tends that pass through the wedding photography world, because weddings are naturally so visual and filled with beautiful people and decor! Words like "light & airy" or "dark and moody" get used a lot to describe specific styles, but I'd say I land right in the middle. My editing style 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!
the real you
I start every photo session by saying "The most important thing is to be yourself." And it's true! If you feel like yourself, and not a stiff, posed version of yourself, you'll love your photos SO much more. I'll help you pose a bit and tell you what to do with your hands, but the key to having natural, candid looking photos is movement. Those wind-in-you-hair, magical moments happen with a little prompting from me + confidence from you. I'll talk a lot and keep you moving throughout the session, and we'll have a blast!

"Anyone needing a photographer has to hire Lauren! You're hiring a friend, not another vendor. Her skill speaks for itself, she's an amazing photographer. We were so blown away with her skill that we added a second engagement session! 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. 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 and we can't wait to continue hiring her for more life moments that need to be captured."

"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."

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."
Kendall, 2018 Bride

Lauren and her team were amazing to work with and made me feel special from the beginning, all the way until the day we received our final wedding photos!"
janessa, 2018 Bride
"Lauren has photographed many big moments in my life and I wouldn't want anyone else. Her pictures our beautiful and she makes downloading all of the photos easy. She is great at communicating with customers to truly get to know them and the vision for their pictures. She is always punctual and is extremely kind. If you are looking for a photographer for any occasion Lauren Garrison is your girl!"
