Truly Wonderful Wedding Photographer

One of the easiest decisions my husband and I ever made about our wedding was booking Lauren McGarry Photography for our special day! We met Lauren at a Wedding Expo in Albany, NY as we were on our way out the door and I am so glad we stopped to talk with her. Lauren's photographs were stunning & her albums were sleek and beautiful. She is such a nice and down to earth person, who took the time to know us as a couple and made sure she was able to capture all of the big and small moments of our wedding day. The day of our wedding was gloomy and storms were right on top of us, but we didn't stress because Lauren was so accommodating and took charge of where we could go so we still got great photos. At the end of the night, she even stood out in the rain to capture beautiful rooftop, stormy pictures overlooking the city of Troy, NY. I would definitely recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a truly wonderful photographer!

Fabulous!!

Lauren was incredible! She was so wonderful to work with! She was very kind, fun and easy to work with. My husband and I don’t take many photos, so we didn’t know what to expect with all the formal photos- but we had nothing to worry about!!! Lauren made taking photos easy and fun, and she was very timely to allow our wedding party and us time to go to cocktail hour! She was very go with the flow and was an absolutely perfect wedding photographer. Our sneak pictures came just a day or two after our wedding which was SO fun and the photos were better than I ever could have imagined! Lauren also sent over 3 photos I asked for early so I could give them out as Christmas gifts. I’d recommend Lauren to everyone with 100% backing!!!
