-Morgan & Ryan
Lauren is hands down the best wedding photographer you can book! She was extremely helpful during the planning process always checking in to see if I needed anything or any recommendations. She is definitely the cheerleader you need during all the stressful planning. The day of my wedding Lauren was by my side the entire day getting all the shots I wanted and making sure I was okay and didn’t need anything. She made sure we were comfortable and had absolutely anything we needed the whole day. She was hands down the best photographer I could book for my wedding day.
-Colleen & Daniel
Choosing Lauren was the best decision we made. Her images are natural, beautiful, and tell our story so effortlessly. From our engagement session through the wedding day, she guided us with calm confidence, offering thoughtful advice far beyond photography. She was both discreet and ever-present, capturing every meaningful moment while making us feel completely supported. Even when rain threatened our day, Lauren’s creativity and reassurance resulted in photos we are absolutely in awe of. Receiving sneak peeks the night of our wedding was magical, and reliving the day through her images has been such a gift. We are endlessly grateful and couldn’t recommend E&L Photography more highly.
