Lauren is the BEST!!! She photographed my sisters wedding in October 2023 and I loved her work so much, but what stuck out to me even more was her joy and kindness. She radiates Christ and I love that! I reached out to her immediately after I got engaged and I could not be happier. She captured the day perfectly!! She is SO easy to work with, fun, and tells you exactly how to pose (which was amazing for me because I had NO idea what I was doing haha). She works hard to get sneak peaks out fast, we had ours within a few days after the wedding which was so fun to look through on our honeymoon! I would recommend Lauren and her work to anyone and everyone. Thank you Lauren for everything!!

I had an amazing experience with Lauren! She was helpful and answered all my many questions. She also was extremely personable and made me feel like my wedding was as important to her as it was to me, which helped take a load of stress off. My husband also enjoyed working with her. Her and her second shooter were clear communicators when directing shots but also very good at fading into the background to get the candid shots! I can’t recommend Lauren enough!

I hired Lauren for my engagement and wedding photos and I was so BEYOND happy with the service she provided. Lauren is an extremely talented photographer who used her expertise to capture our love in a very creative way. She worked hard to make sure all of the details of our wedding day were set in stone so that everything went as planned. Lauren made it so easy, fun, and comfortable to take photos. She worked so hard to be able to send us so many sneak peeks within a few days which was SO exciting to look through. I would 100% hire her again for any photo needs and I would 100% recommend her for anyone looking for incredible, memorable, and reliable photos. Thank you Lauren for EVERYTHING!!

Lauren is an incredible person and is also amazing behind the camera! She aims for natural pictures, which in my opinion, is better than a posed picture any day (we did some of those too though). As someone who feels really awkward in front of the camera, she is amazing at creating a safe space to try new things as well as guiding to capture the perfect picture. So many genuine pictures came from both my engagement session and wedding! I couldn’t be more pleased. If you’re looking for someone to capture the intimate details, genuine feelings, with a touch of her own art, Lauren is your girl! My wedding theme was timeless, and she definitely provided pictures that will last a lifetime and never go out of style!

I can’t say enough great things about Lauren and her work as a photographer!! Not only is she the sweetest but also so helpful and organized! She provides you with many helpful resources for your big day and I never hesitated to reach out to her for questions because she was more than willing to answer them and always responded so quickly. She seeks to capture the parts of your day that are most important to you and it was so easy to take pictures with her bubbly personality guiding us along the way. If you can’t already tell from pictures, her work is amazing and I had no doubt our pictures would turn out beautiful and they did! I highly recommend booking with Lauren for any of your photography needs!!

Lauren went above and beyond! She was truly an integral part of my big day, she actually helped me with my wedding hair when I was struggling! From the comprehensive form to help her get to know us, to her dedication to our vision (despite the freezing temps!) her work ethic and commitment to her customers is unmatched. We got our sneak peaks back before the weekend ended so we were able to print announcements immediately. Lauren is a great director if you're not confident in your posing skills as well! After we got all the images back she sent us some beautiful prints and a USB in the mail, which was a lovely surprise. The website she uses makes sharing all the images super easy as well as having options to buy prints and books directly.

Do you travel? How much do you charge for travel fees?

My most booked package is for 8 hours! 8 Hours is a great baseline for a typical wedding day. That will get you details & getting ready all the way through the beginning of dancing at your reception. That being said, sometimes couples need more or less coverage, depending on their plans! Don't worry, when we meet on a video call, we'll chat about how many hours are best for you.

The Covid era certainly taught us a thing or two about preparing for the unexpected. Fortunately, I have an awesome community of photographers who I can reach out to in the event that I need to find a replacement. I would find another professional who I trust to capture the day, and I will still take care of you, your timeline, and edit and deliver your images.

Yes! I'll travel anywhere your love takes us! Travel is included anywhere within 50 miles of my home base in Columbus, Ohio! Outside of that, I'll charge $1.20/mile in excess of 50 miles.
