Introduction
CAPTURING YOUR LOVE IN A TIMELESS, VIBRANT, AND GENUINE WAY. I discovered my passion for film photography in high school and pursued my bachelor’s degree in Indiana. I got my start as a second shooter in 2016 with weddings that had upwards of 400 guests. The experience solidified my love for capturing the magic of weddings, and it also led me to my passion for more intimate celebrations. As a result, I made the decision to specialize in documenting the beauty and authenticity of smaller weddings, and I love it. I have a passion for both film and digital photography, and I still use the 35mm camera my mom passed down to me that she has in college. After many years of using it solely for personal projects, I have finally started incorporating film into many of my sessions. Film gives a timeless, unfiltered feel that focuses on savoring the moments as they unfold. In the spring of 2018, I officially made the move to the Pacific Northwest and now call Seattle home. I married the love of my life, Joel, at our own intimate wedding. I have an adventurous yet easy-going personality, and I believe that the key to capturing your special day is to truly connect with you and your partner. I prioritize authenticity above all else, and my approach to photography is to adapt and flow with the natural rhythm of your wedding day

Lauren took my engagement and wedding photos. Both times, she was professional yet fun to work with! she listened to what I wanted for both shoots and did exactly as I asked while still incorporating her own creativity, which left me with unique photos. She captured the most special moments of my wedding, and I'm so grateful to her for that! I would highly recommend her for any photography needs!
