About Lauren Cate Photography

Lauren Belknap

Owner & Creative Designer

During my time at school, Brooks Photography Institute, I studied multiple types of photography: fashion, commercial, food, nature, architecture, and portraiture. All of this experience has prepared me for bringing professionalism and creativity to every part of your day. I have photographed weddings for 10 years, during which time I learned the ins and outs of the industry. I have traveled to many countries, worked with celebrities and have been there to capture priceless moments for hundreds of people and their families. In 2014, I was recognized by Rangefinders Magazine as one of the 30 Rising Stars of Wedding Photography.

    Lauren is absolutely amazing in every way! Her photos speak for themselves—they’re stunning and truly capture the essence of each moment. But it’s not just about the pictures with her. From the moment we started working together, Lauren made us feel so comfortable and at ease, which definitely helped the photos turn out even better. She’s not just a photographer; she’s a joy to be around. From the very beginning, Lauren helped us with the wedding timeline and gave great advice on vendors. On the big day, she balanced professionalism with fun, and so many of our guests mentioned how wonderful she was to work with. She’s fantastic at engaging with everyone and making sure every moment gets captured. We’re beyond grateful for the beautiful photos, but even more so for the amazing memory of having Lauren there with us on our wedding day. Lauren also brought her assistant Ally along as a second shooter, and we’re so glad she did! The two of them were just so grateful to be part of the day, and it really showed. Ally was so easy to be around, and she did a fantastic job with the pictures. When a small issue came up with my veil, she was right there to help without hesitation. We’re so thankful that Lauren brought Ally along to share in our big day—it made everything that much more special. Together, Lauren and Ally made our wedding day even more unforgettable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better team to help us capture our memories.

    Lauren has such an incredible eye for capturing beautiful moments and her photos evoke great emotion. She is a pleasure to work with, very responsive and delivers a beautiful product in a timely manner. I am a wedding planner and my clients have always been thrilled with Lauren and enjoyed her direction day-of and the beautiful memories brought to life by her photos.

    Lauren from the get-go was extremely friendly and easy to work with from our engagement photos to a full 3 day weekend of wedding festivities out of state. She feels like part of your family and is able to make everyone feel at ease while capturing images that truly blow your mind. Our mothers cannot stop talking about how much they love the moments she was able to capture, and we can truly say that we are blessed with not only amazing wedding photos, but a wonderful experience that we will continue to recommend again and again.
