About Photography By Lauryn

Lauryn

Lead Photographer & Owner

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

    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.

    Lauryn is honestly amazing - she is so organized and on top of everything there is no way our wedding could have gone on without her - not to mention the sneak peek/blog post she posted mere days after the wedding are absolutely STUNNING I am so excited to see the rest of the photos but am already THRILLED with what she has provided for me. She is so easy to communicate and work with and her second shooter, Chelsea was also a dream! I loved having them there as well as my now husband and the rest of our bridal party/families. Just absolutely phenomenal!!

    Lauryn is the absolute BEST!!! She was the very first vendor we booked for our June 10, 2023, wedding, because I had been following her on Instagram for a bit, and after booking, we never looked back. From the first call, to the engagement photos and to wedding day, she made us feel so comfortable and was responsive and professional. Our engagement shoot was so fun - even my now husband enjoyed it! And now, all our friends and family and my new husband keep raving about how amazing Lauryn is!! She knows what she's doing from beginning to end and ensured everyone on wedding day was comfortable and having fun!! No one felt overwhelmed with "posing" or photos, because it doesn't feel like you're just standing there taking a bunch. Her delivery of our photos was also the fastest in the biz that I have seen and we are OBSESSED with our wedding and engagement photos! I couldn't trust anyone else but her for this huge, special moment in our life. BOOK HER NOW!! I'm so sad the wedding is over, but thankful we have her beautiful photos to look back on and relive the day over and over!!

    I work in the corporate client service industry, so when it came to my vendor team, I had incredibly high standards as I understand what quality client service looks like. Lauryn exceeded every expectation I had by a mile. In my 18 months of working with her, her communication was always timely (typically 24 hrs) and highly effective. Before I had signed a contract, she helped me build a high-level timeline for the wedding, got to know what was important to me and answered my (many) questions. She reconfirmed details with me throughout the process to ensure we were always on the same page, knew my shot list front to back, and gave me multiple status updates throughout wedding day so I would know that she was capturing everything I had requested. We had many group formal shots which she powered through with no issue during cocktail hour (which is a feat in itself). As a type A bride, she was a dream come true to work with. Her personality was incredible - she kept us so comfortable, happy and laughing throughout the day. My husband and I are not at all photogenic people naturally, but after working with Lauryn at our engagement shoot, I had no concerns that we would look unnatural on our wedding day, which resulted in a no-stress, all fun wedding day. This was my #1 concern going into the wedding process, so to not pay it a thought on the wedding day exemplifies the total confidence that Lauryn inspires in her couples. On the wedding day she took complete charge of the day in the best way possible. The remainder of my vendor team was on the less experienced side so Lauryn was the one doing the heavy lifting of keeping us on schedule, which she did flawlessly. This was also her first time working at my venue, so I was able to see her keen eye for beauty in action, picking out various locations for our photos. Each photo and location turned out better than the next even though she didn't have a pre-existing shot location list to turn to which really speaks to her eye for turning the ordinary into extraordinary. Our galleries for the engagement shoot & wedding were turned around faster than I had known was humanly possible with no sacrifice on quality to meet those tight timelines. (Our engagement photos came the next day and our wedding gallery was delivered within two weeks, which I believe are her general turnaround times depending on what time of year it is). One final note on something I had not seen highlighted in other reviews. Normally I think that guest and reception dancing photos are nice to have but generally aren't super memorable. This is NOT at all how Lauryn's photos were. Each photo of the guests is something that they could frame in their own homes despite them not being the main focus of the day. Lauryn took the care to photograph as many couples as possible during the Anniversary Dance, so now they have beautiful keepsakes celebrating their own marriages, not only mine. Overall, Lauryn managed to capture the spirit of the day from start to finish, including the little touches I worked so tirelessly on. She truly thinks of everything, gives the wedding day her all, and is worth every single penny of her investment cost and honestly so much more. I will scream a recommendation for her from the rooftops to every couple I know who gets engaged going forward (especially if you are a Swiftie).
