Photography By Lauryn

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $8,000
  • Serves Decatur, MI

I'm just a suburban girl who decided to turn her dreams into a reality. I'm all about building relationships and connections. After all, that's what wedding photography is all about. I do this job every weekend because I'm one of those people that is obsessed with pictures. Not just for a living, but for myself. I understand the value in photography. I do this for people who are just like me. For the ones who cherish those photos hanging on the walls. The photos still in that purple glitter album from 2002 of you and your friends in Limited Too. Those memories are all we have from the anchors that built us. Photos are proof that we have lived

Awarded Best of Zola
Lauryn is not only a spectacular photographer, but her organization and lively personality make working with her for your wedding such a great experience. We were nervous about engagement photos as neither of us are super comfortable in front of a camera, but she made us feel at ease, knowing exactly how to guide us and make us feel natural. We are a type-A couple, so Lauryn's professional platform was another huge benefit to working with her. Lauryn's portal houses all your information, she sends regular check lists and questionnaires to ensure she has everything she needs and is extremely communicative. This made us feel so supported throughout the planning process. Lastly, on our wedding day she was such a pleasure have with us. She corralled our friends and family to get things done efficiently without sacrificing quality--allowing us to enjoy our big day to the fullest. We received a sneak peek within a few days, and the full 1,000 images in less than 2 weeks. And they were STUNNING. We couldn't stop reliving our wedding day through her photography, and we'll forever be grateful for Lauryn's talent.

Louis Pettinelli Entertainment is a musical entertainment company that offers an unrivaled musical experience for clients around the country. We currently service over 25 metropolitan areas throughout the lower 48, and provide musical entertainment for hundreds of events every year. Our past clients include The United Nations, Lockheed Martin, Nationwide Auto Insurance, The Shell Oil Corporation, and many more. No event is too small or large for us. Louis Pettinelli Entertainment has musical ensembles that range from a soloist to a 15 piece party band, and everything in between!

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

  • Serves Decatur, MI

Born and raised in the Metro Detroit area. DJ iamchase is not just the #1 Celebrity Dj in West Michigan. He is also a Tour Dj, Record Breaker, and a Host. All while DJing Weddings, Corporate events, Concerts, and Night Clubs.

We had Terrell as our DJ for our wedding and could not be more happy with him! It was a little nerve racking having a meeting so close to the big day but Terrell and Derek both made us feel comfortable that everything would go smoothly. On the day of the wedding Terrell was at a venue he has never worked at before but set up and communication was seamless. He kept the party going and had the dance floor packed all night (one of the most important things for us that night). We didn't give him a playlist; just more like some guidelines and he did an amazing job. He came up to me and my husband to ensure we were happy (and even fed!). He communicated with me and the photographer to ensure all the big moments were captured before the photographer had to leave which was so nice because the thought to do that had not even occurred to me. We can not wait to recommend them more to anyone getting married or throwing an event. Thank you so much Terrell and Derek!!!!

Hello, I’m Melissa! I’m a wedding & lifestyle photographer with a heart and eye for the genuine, real, and joyful moments! Based in Chicago but let’s be real, I love to travel - so take me with you! :) My heart as a photographer is to document your moments genuinely & always true to color. So that one day you will look back & remember not just what it looked like - but what it FELT like!

Melissa and her crew were exceptionally communicative and collaborative throughout our entire planning process. They provided excellent support the day of the wedding and showed both flexibility and calmness throughout the event. Overall picture quality was good, but the photos of the wedding itself and post-wedding family gathering suffered from bad lighting and unfortunate positioning. This may have been more about the venue itself (Osteria via Stato in Chicago), but there was room for improvement.

I developed a deep passion for photography when I was just 12 years old. Back then, capturing moments with my friends and family meant using Kodak Film, which was not as effortless as it is today. Since then, photography has remained my true calling. In 2002, I pursued my love for journalism and photography by studying at the reputable Institute of LAINSPROCOM. From 2006 onwards, I have been professionally capturing the beauty of weddings and portraits. My photography style can best be described as honest, sincere, and intimate. I strive to capture the raw emotions and captivating moments that make each occasion unique.

Widlet had an amazing vision for the bride. He was friendly, professional, and very creative.

Having grown up on a farm in Central Illinois, I am a filmmaker living in Chicago. I began doing wedding videography in 2017 while living in Bend, Oregon. I love intimate, small-scale weddings and elopements.

Hiring Jacob is a NO BRAINER! I cannot say enough great things about or experience! From the moment we hired him, and the whole process of receiving our video and raw footage afterwards... was smooth, easy, and we are eternally grateful! To this day, we always tell everyone how important it is to hire a videographer... the emotion is very different from photos. Live footage just helps you piece back together and process your perfect day! I had asked for a few different things, like having music playing through the whole video and snippets of both of our vows and Jacob way overdelivered and exceeded my expectations! Check out his Vimeo videos- they are unreal and will give you all the feels! Do not hesitate in hiring him. The video he creates will bring back all the best moments of your wedding day!

From my first moment as a wedding photographer, I knew I wanted to kick tradition to the curb. I was tried of seeing wedding photography that excluded the communities that I hold closest. I work hard to form a real connection with each of my clients to craft an experience that captures their unique spirit.

Ashley is so perceptive and talented! I told her a little bit about us and our style and she created the right balance between moodiness and fun that we wanted. She always got back to us just under 24 hours and answered every question that we had. She is dedicated to her clients and their needs. I enjoyed being in her company because she made us feel comfortable. She understood our needs and never pressured us to do anything out of our comfort zone. We are a more laid back, care-free couple, so we gave Ashley lots of space to experiment and it definitely paid off. If nothing else has convinced you, we have already booked our 1 year anniversary photos with her and I will continue to go back to her for any event that should be photographed.

Awarded Best of Zola
2020 was a difficult year for many reasons, but weddings were especially tough to make happen in this calendar year. But what made it even more difficult was having to plan 2 different weddings. The first being a 10 month planned wedding in Joshua Tree, California, until we had to cancel it due to COVID in November a month before it was supposed to happen. My now husband and I scrambled to reset for a smaller ceremony in Illinois instead to allow at least his family to attend and have it at his sister's home in Huntley, IL. We only had one month to reset. One of the most important things for us was photography, and although we had spent most of our savings on the cancelled wedding and we had no hope in recovering most of that back or even soon enough to help with the 2nd wedding, we knew we had to put forth the money and make the right choice for a photographer to document our day as best as possible so that our love ones who couldn't make it could experience that day through the right lens. Justin Vaughn of JVaughn Photography LLC was the right lens and so much more! He worked very closely with us via online google meetings, with a minor setback, which was we couldn't have an in person engagement photo session with him (since we were based in Wyoming and wouldn't arrive in Illinois until closer to the ceremony). Justin prefers to complete an engagement photo session, which comes already included in a lot of his packages, before the wedding to get to know us as a couple and make sure we get the shots we prefer. However even without the engagement session, through our online meetings, we were able to discuss who we are and Justin had that personal touch as though we were talking to an old friend. We established the narrative and story telling that we hoped to have for the day. Justin took detailed notes and had a list of shots to take for the day. But his improvisation and artistic eye was also excellent and he captured moments that we had never thought of that were so beautiful and amazing. In addition to the photography he also did minor videography to provide us a highlight reel, which was beyond what we expected! Throughout the day he was also very much a ninja in capturing the right moments beautifully without obstructing the views of guests present. I would recommend him for any photography need, he truly is an artist that captures the moments you wanted and so much more!

When, I was eight, I announced to my parents, “I want to play the harp.” Their wisely cautious response was to give me a year of piano lessons! But once I got my fingers on strings, there was no looking back. Now I own six harps and play professionally for weddings, churches, senior care as well as arranging and recording. By mixing my years of classical training with my love of different genres I get to help people make memorable events with beautiful music. Meet me and the harps at my website.

I worked with Anna at a recent wedding and was quite impressed with how beautifully she played! I was the DJ for the wedding, and Anna and I had to coordinate music-playing times throughout the evening. Anna was flexible and easy-going and always very professional. Her music added a certain classiness and elegance to both the wedding ceremony and the cocktail and dinner hours. Her repertoire of music was expansive, and the guests really enjoyed her music

Nichole is the best choice you can make for photography for your wedding day! She has a special ability to make all of her couples feel amazing. We love how our gallery came out and she did an amazing job getting pictures without them feeling forced or awkward. We had so much fun having her capture our day.

Because we’re local, we know you’ll be seeing us around town and we want to make sure that when you do, you’ll be able to share with us what a wonderful experience you had.

Navarre catered our wedding in August of 2020. Given the pandemic, we had to drastically change the size of our wedding from over 400 guests to roughly 40. Throughout the entire process Jeff and Melissa were extremely accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure our day was absolutely perfect. Melissa helped to answer my hundreds of questions and ensured we were receiving exactly what we asked for and Jeff and his team delivered a beautiful night. We had a duet of sea bass and filet. The filet was the the perfect temperature and the sea bass melted in your mouth. The lamb chops were a huge hit during cocktail hour! One of the bartenders even made up a special signature cocktail on the fly that everyone loved! I cannot say enough good things about Navarre. All of our guests could not stop talking about our food, wine and the service they received! We are forever thankful for everything the entire Navarre team did for us!

Heyyy there! I’m Kiersten, the founder and creative force behind the lens. Born and raised in West Virginia, this beautiful state is what I call my home.

Hi, I’m Kirsten, the creative heart behind Kirsten Wray Photography! Since 2008, KWP has been capturing life’s most amazing moments, right here in Indianapolis and beyond. After earning my Bachelor of Fine Arts from Ball State University, I followed my passion for photography to the vibrant city of Indy, where I’ve been telling stories through my lens ever since. Whether it's local events or adventures across the globe, I’m all about creating stunning, authentic images for my incredible clients. Let’s make magic together!

Kirsten Wray Photography was absolutely fantastic to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Kirsten's communication style was direct, effective, and genuinely sweet - she immediately put us at ease as a couple who doesn't usually love being in front of the camera. Despite having a huge family that was challenging to wrangle, Kirsten was professional, prompt, and thorough in getting all the group shots we wanted. The finished photos are of excellent quality and editing, capturing all the special moments of our day in a way that exceeds our expectations. Kirsten went above and beyond to deliver amazing photos, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We highly recommend Kirsten Wray Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

Ohana Events

Ohana Events is an elevated event planning and design company based in both Chicago & South Florida, but often travel for their events, with distances as far as Mexico and Italy. The Ohana team strives to make the entire planning process, from first meeting to the big day a stress-free experience. Let’s face it, weddings and events are more than just one long day. Months, and sometimes years, of hard work are put into building a celebration – hopefully with lots of champagne toasts and happy tears along the way!

Hiring Ohana and working with Sonya was easily the best decision we made while wedding planning. I was hesitant to hire an outside coordinator because we had a venue coordinator, but the venue coordinator does not do nearly the amount that Ohana does. Hiring Ohana is a NEED. I was first introduced to Danielle and we instantly connected. I felt she understood my vision and wanted to help create our dream wedding. We were lucky enough to be assigned to Sonya for the 90-day coordination package and she was the kindest, most patient, and organized planner. She responded quickly to emails and answered all of my questions, she took over communication with vendors and relieved much of the planning stress, she provided detailed checklists and kept me on track. She also created a detailed by the minute itinerary for the entire weekend for us, our vendors, and a shorthand version for our bridal party which was extremely helpful. Our wedding day was seamless with no hiccups and I can honestly thank Sonya for that. She made sure to keep the day moving on schedule, communicated with all of the vendors, and made sure to check in with me often. Even wedding guests and our parents gave raving reviews for Sonya. My husband and I agree that hiring Ohana and being able to work with Sonya was the best investment we would do all over again, and we recommend them to everyone. I wish I had hired Sonya sooner! Best wedding coordinator of all time. It is true, Ohana means family, and that is exactly how the team treats you.
