SOUL SPARKING, ADVENTURE SEEKING & EPIC LOVE DOCUMENTING

OMG, I’m so totally honored you’re here! I’m so frickin’ ready to go on the adventure that is your love story and document all the moments as we go whether you're in New Jersey or some epic destination! I truly believe photography is invaluable; it freezes memories for years to come and for the generations that come after. Having photos that you love, not only from how they look but because they give you all the warm fuzzies + capture your unique story within them. Your story is irreplaceable and SO worth documenting. 

There’s nothing more important to me than making REAL authentic connections with my couples. Tell me EVERYTHING about you, not just about your day. I want to know the inside jokes, how you met, what you love about each other and what means most to you. Gimme it all!! I take these small but incredibly meaningful details and make sure they are present within your photos so you have photos that not only look like you both but feel like you too.

Before there was digital cameras, there were film cameras - film photography gives your gallery that little bit of nostalgia that digital just can’t embody.

Every couple who has booked this session, (including myself for my wedding), said it was the best decision EVER. I rest my case hahah!

If you are looking for a unique, timeless and non-traditional feeling for your wedding photos Lauren is your girl! She has great classic / vintage style when it comes to your delivered photos and is a dream to work with. Not only is she a talented photographer but she is incredibly easy going and made us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. She also was helpful in any way possible when it came to the wedding, trouble with other vendors and recommendations. I used Lauren's natural makeup recommendation and was so happy I did. We loved our photos and experience and can't wait to use Lauren again for future memories!

Water Witch Club - Highlands, NJ

Lauren captured our wedding day so perfectly. She was so easy to work with and made us feel so comfortable. The pictures are beyond beautiful, and the film photos turned out amazing, as well. Couldn’t recommend her enough.

The Monarch - Baxter, TN

We cannot recommend Lauren ENOUGH! Everything from our first zoom meeting, to the in between updates leading up to our day, to meeting our requests for a hectic morning on the day of were matched, as well as exceeded our expectations. Lauren was so patient and we worked together so well. She was extremely understanding when it came to our timeline, how short it was, and somehow made it all happen with time to spare, but still managed to capture the emotions and memories of the day. We laughed, we cried, we had lots of happy double chin moments from laughing and smiling so big, and all of it is forever maintained in our gallery. We can’t thank Lauren enough for her amazing work, and recommend using her as well.

The Asbury - Asbury Park, NJ

This is our 3rd time working with Lauren and she always delivers great quality photos. She’s so personable, taking pictures can be awkward but she’s good at making the session fun! Maintains communication throughout the process. I can’t say enough good things, highly recommend!

If you’re looking for an engagement/wedding photographer, look no further than Lauren! She is an AMAZINGLY talented photographer! She blew us out of the water with how amazing our engagement pictures turned out! I sent her over my inspo for our engagement shoot when we first connected and she more than exceeded our expectations! She also made us feel so so comfortable during our shoot. She is 100% your hype girl and her energy is amazing. We love you Lauren and thank you so so much for our beautiful photos! We will cherish these forever 💓
