    The most personable photographer I have ever met!

    They say a referral is the best thing you can do for a business and Lauren was referred to me and I referred her to a friend. Then, it was my turn for my special day. Lauren was so helpful from the start. She has an amazing personality and keeps the day fun. She was a good leader to tell folks where to go and what to do. She took charge and got amazing shots!! I’ll forever be grateful for the beautiful pictures she got of my wedding, that I will have for a lifetime!!!!!!

    Lauren is a rockstar photographer a+

    10000% recommend Lauren, 10 stars. Lauren is absolutely amazing. I knew from the first moment we spoke that we were going to get along. She is energetic, easy going, detailed, fun-loving, SUPER TALENTED & creative. Upon meeting Lauren, my thoughts were confirmed and i felt like i had known her forever. On my wedding day Lauren walked in to quite the ordeal; my mom had just been taken to the ER for a head injury. many in this situation would be panicked but lauren's professionalism shined through and she made me feel at ease, distracted me from the manic episode i was in, all without being too much. She was just the right amount of empathetic and sympathetic (ironically lauren had experienced her own "thing" on her wedding day and suggested I push my timeline just in case something happened.. its like she knew, and that suggestion ended up saving me & our day from being so very crunched). Now to how talented Lauren is. One of my favorite parts of my experience with her was that she LOVED to show us every-so-often the photos after she took them and let me tell you, they were AH-MAZING. my husband hates getting his picture taken but he was in his glory all day. lauren let us be us, and softly guided us with the perfect amount of direction. I felt like i had my friend just hanging out, making us feel like we were superstars on our big day and thats exactly how we felt. She was so committed to the fact we wanted sunset photos, we literally chased the sun, got into the fescue of the golf course we were at and took all of the photos we could with the lighting we wanted. I have no doubt these will be so epic. When Lauren posted the first sneak peak (less than 24 hours after the wedding) we were FLOORED by the photo. everyone was floored by the photo. countless compliments, most of which were "this should be in a magazine" is a testament to the eye and talent Lauren has. lauren, THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts.

    I want to scream it from the roof tops so everyone wants to use Lauren. She is unbelievable. The photos from our wedding are perfect. Everyone in the bridal party raved about how down to Earth she was the day of the wedding and how she felt like more of a good friend taking pictures rather than someone they just met. All of the pictures were such great quality, and I loved getting the sneak peaks. We used umbrellas for some of the pictures since it rained during our first look, and Lauren took the umbrellas and used them to our advantage, some of my favorite photos are with the umbrellas. I would recommend her to anyone looking for top notch photography and could not have imagined my day without her.

    We used Lauren as our photographer at our wedding this summer. She was absolutely amazing and worth the price. She is so easy to work with and makes you feel so comfortable. She captured every moment imaginable. And she edited the pictures so quickly. I would highly recommend her! One thing I wouldn't recommend is getting a Photo Booth through her. All of the props are on sticks that you hold up to your face and they are just flimsy cardboard. I was expecting real props that people could wear. That was my one and only disappointment.

    Lauren is amazing! She is so kind and fun to work with. She takes the time to get to know each couple and treats you like a great friend. Her vision and attention to detail is outstanding. I used her for engagement photos and wedding photos and I am in love with every image. I highly recommend her!

    I could not have asked for a better photographer than Lauren!
    She is patient, calming & fun to talk to.
    Our initial consultation phone conversation, she answered all of my questions & helped me visualize the day.
    She did our engagement shoot & wedding day shooting. She is a joy to work with and super fun!!!
    She is very creative and does amazing work with lighting!
    My family & friends loved working with her as well!
    She really listened to me and made sure we got all the shots we wanted & needed.
    I have already recommended Lauren to a friend & she is using her for her wedding as well!

    Talented, dedicated, professional, passionate - Just a few words my husband and I would use to describe Lauren. She was such a special part of our day and her work is truly one of a kind. On top of it all, she has such a contagious and bubbly personality - my friends and family fell in love with Lauren the second we met her. My bridesmaids couldn't stop talking about how awesome she was and how much they enjoyed working with her. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a wedding photographer - you will definitely not be disappointed!

    I cannot speak highly enough about Lauren! She was recommended to us by a friend who was getting married a few months before us and we knew she was the right fit for us from our first meeting. We couldn't be happier with how our photos turned out (from both the wedding and our engagement shoot) and we will cherish them forever.

    I'm sure a lot of photographers take great photos, but Lauren goes above and beyond with her kind, thoughtful, and upbeat attitude! And unlike some photographers I have seen at a lot of other weddings, Lauren and her team manage to get a ton of beautiful shots without being at all intrusive--something that was very important to us. During the ceremony and reception, I barely even remember seeing the photographers, yet they nonetheless managed to capture every special moment from our big day.

    Do yourself a favor and hire Lauren! You absolutely won't be disappointed!

    I'm an overthinker & overanalyzer. As a wedding photographer myself, I knew I wanted to find someone that I could trust without feeling like I needed to "help" them do their job on my wedding day. Of all the photographers I knew, Lauren was the ONLY one I felt in my soul was the photographer for our day - and I was so right. I had no idea how much she was capturing and didn't even notice her throughout the day in the very BEST of ways as she seamlessly captured the flow throughout our backyard ceremony & outdoor, untented reception. Lauren captured some of the most real and natural moments on our wedding day that I have ever seen of my family & friends, as well as my husband and I, and it was such a relief to have such a professional doing her thang while we enjoyed our day without a care in the world! THANK YOU LAUREN! <3

    Your wedding photographer will LITERALLY be in your face all day. So it's important to work with someone you like. Lauren's work is gorgeous and her personality is a delight! You will LOVE having her at your party and you will LOVE all the stunning images she leaves you with to remember the "big" day.
    I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Lauren!

    I am so thankful that we chose Lauren as our wedding photographer, her light-hearted and elegant style was perfect for us. She made the entire process incredibly easy, and worked with us to make sure we got everything we wanted. Working with Lauren was like working with a close friend, my husband mentioned to me after the wedding that he kept encouraging her to dance with us because he kept forgetting she was our photographer! We love our photos so much we plan to use Lauren for all of our family photo needs in the future!!

    I LOVE Lauren Halvorson photography. She's a super cheerful person and it helps set the mood for the day. My family had no trouble smiling for the pictures she would take. Her and her assistant got all of the necessary shots in just over an hour, which is pretty impressive for the tight schedule they were on. Not to mention, the pictures are stunning.

    I LOVE Lauren! We cannot be happier that we picked Lauren to photograph our wedding. My husband is camera shy, so I was worried about how he would do with our first look, but Lauren made everything easy and comfortable for us. I did not give her many picture suggestions as I wanted her to work with the venue and people's personalities to get the pictures that she thought were fitting and she did just that! All of my friend's are determined to hire Lauren for their wedding's as well after seeing her work! She is fun, professional, kind, and a real pleasure to work with. I can't wait to work with her again!

    I dont quite know where to begin when talking about my experience with Lauren! From the first meeting with her I knew I did not need to look for any other photographers! She brought me into her home and made me feel like a friend instead of a potential client. My fiance and I decided we definitely wanted engagement pictures taken....well what we got far exceeded our expectations! I had seen Laurens work so I was open to all of her location suggestions! Including jumping in the ocean at the end of the shoot!....but I am skipping around....when we first got to Newport, this was the first time Antonio met Lauren, after the first few shots and Lauren showing us a few on her camera, he whispered to me, "wow now i know why u wanted her!" Just on the mini screen on her camera we already were so blown away. When we drove to our second location Antonio could not stop talking about how much fun he was having and how comfortable lauren was making us feel! (I keep saying this because, peopleeee do you remember senior portraits with random photographers and you wanted to cringe cause you felt so awkward)....this was NOT the case what so ever... since i had met her once before I knew it was going to be a blast to work with her but seeing how much fun Antonio was having really made the experience for me that much MORE special time was flying by and I truly did not want the evening to end! Laurens last vision, as I mentioned before, was to have us get right in the ocean! If you have seen these pictures you can probably tell that we felt like we were in a movie! The beauty of it all seemed so surreal. The 3 of us laughed and joked around so much I felt like I had a permanent smile! This LITERALLY was one of the most special, intimate, and romantic nights I have ever had with Antonio and I am so lucky to have had those moments captured in pictures by Lauren! We both were on cloud 9 for a couple of days especially seeing all the new pictures she was pasting on her facebook page! We are sooooo excited for our wedding and for the many more life events that we absolutely plan on having Lauren be apart of!

    Lets face it, when planning a wedding, one of the most important choices you will be faced with, who will photograph the biggest day in our daughter and future son-in laws life! We wanted someone who could capture our families personality and have that love and celebration leap off each page with joy, beauty, class, and humour.

    Lauren Halvorson is the only person I could ever possibly recommend! Lauren is the most gifted photographer I have ever encountered. I have worked in the wedding and special occassion industry for over 30 yrs, I have been so impressed with her passion, endless energy, dedication and attention to detail. All while not even realizing shes in the room. Her demeanor is gentle sensitive and non judgemental. Extremely sensitive to your emotions a dream to be with!

    Please look at her website, as we know, no two people are alike, you wont find one repeated pose or theme. Everything she does is authentic and personal. Always captures the essence of the subject shes photographing. I am so proud that we have had Lauren photograph every aspect of our daughters engagement, boudoir, and Bridal Luncheon. Our wedding is fast approaching, I feel very excited that we have the most wonderful photographer, Lauren Halvorson to capture every wonderful moment! We love you Lauren! XO

    Can I rate everything 10+!??! Do you want to turn you memories into priceless works of art? if so hire Lauren. Not only is she a wonderful professional personable vendor, shes an artist. Her talent is uncomparable to any other Ive seen. As a person who appreciates creative photography - art in general and not just posed images lauren truly surpases all expectations. The depth of field and soft focus shots evoke so much emotion, its like you were right there when you view the photos. I couldnt be happier. To boot shes a joy to have at any celebration! Guest are comfortable and candida around her which provides many opportunities for awesome images! Thank you Lauren . PS shes FAST too!

    I found Lauren when browsing a mutual friend's engagement pictures. I was really impressed by her work and pricing and decided to choose her for our wedding photographer. She is truly an AMAZING and TALENTED young woman. After working with Lauren for about a year and a half I can tell you that choosing her as my photographer was the best decision I have made in terms of my whole wedding planning! She is so down to earth and friendly. She is willing to work with you on things to make you happy and give her opinions. When shooting with her, she makes you feel like you've known her for years. I was SO happy with how our engagement pictures came out. They captured the exact feel that we were going for. My boudoir shoot was ALOT of fun and we have a lot of laughs. My wedding pictures are absolutely beautiful! She did an excellent job at capturing the romance of the formals and ceremony and the FUN shots at the reception. I really look forward to working with her in the future! I would most definitely reccommend her to any family member or close friend for any event needing a great photographer. If you choose Lauren you WILL NOT be disappointed! I promise!!! -Tanya Lovetere Brockton, MA

    I'm glad I get to be the first to write a review for this absolutely phenomenal individual. Lauren was recommended to me by a friend who had her shoot her wedding. I was totally impressed with the pictures, as was a family friend who is a professional photographer in New York City so I booked her. My email went to her spam and she didn't see it until we had booked someone else unfortunately but she still had the date available. Lauren was more reasonably priced than the other photographer we had booked so we made the switch and will forever be glad that we did. Lauren showed up with the biggest smile on her face on my wedding day and started snapping away. She is a joy to work with and is one of the nicest people I have ever met. We are still waiting to see all the pictures (the wedding was only 2 weeks ago) but we are thrilled with the sneak peeks she's posted so far and know that we will be absolutely thrilled with everything else. We can't wait to use Lauren for our puppy shoot, maternity shoots, newborn shoots and family shoots forever and ever because she is simply the best!!

    Where do I even begin?! If you are looking for a wedding photographer who is attentive, professional, creative and talented then look no further. Lauren was wonderful to work with all throughout our engagement to the end of our wedding day. She and her team fit seamlessly into our wedding day, were a joy to spend 8+ hours with, and took amazing pictures that we will treasure forever!

    Lauren was everything you could want in your wedding photographer and more! She was friendly and professional, and she's BRILLIANT! She caught some of the most wonderful moments of us, our family and friends. Your wedding day goes by in such a blur! It's been wonderful to have the absolutely lovely photos she took of us on or wedding day. She was able to really capture the moments and we relive the day all over again when we look at the photos. I recommend her to anyone and everyone who wants absolutely stunning and creative photos of their day. I also recommend that you do the engagement session with her that's included with your package. It really gave us a chance to get to know her and her style so that we were completely comfortable with her on our wedding day. Our family still can't believe the amazing images that she captured. Well worth every penny! Not to mention she was SO easy to work with. All I can say is BOOK IMMEDIATELY!

    My husband and I booked Lauren Halvorson as our wedding photographer after meeting her at a bridal expo. She was the first vendor that we booked, because she put us at ease when discussing our wedding details and had such a great personality. The work that she showed us spoke for itself, and we knew she'd be a perfect match for us. We thought her prices were so much better than any of the other photographers we had researched, and her images were so much more unique, creative, and inspired than others in the business. We could not have been happier with our engagement and wedding photos. I have a hard time choosing which are my favorites! Our guests also raved about her personality and work. Both my brother and my husband's brother booked her without hesitation for their own weddings, and other friends and family members have done family shoots with Lauren since our wedding. She has become our "family photographer" and I look forward to having an opportunity to work with her again! :)

    Growing up the daughter of a photographer, I knew how important it was to have someone qualified to document my wedding day. Since my dad couldn't walk me down the aisle and capture the moment too, I set out in search of someone I felt I could trust.
    I was attracted to Lauren's photography style, a mix of fun and classic shots. She was easy to work with and flexible with working with us from out of state.
    On our big day she was a true professional, she set to work immediately upon arrival. In addition to taking photos her smile and humor fit right in with my bridal party and offered some great pre-ceremony moments. She braved the cold with my new husband and I to get the perfect fall foliage photos, not an easy thing to do in northern Maine. She took her time to make sure that everything was in place. My wedding party even commented on how great our photographer was and that they had so much fun taking pictures!
    I was so happy with the pictures she took, she captured the essence of our wedding. We have a perfect mix of moments, details, and classic shots that we cherish and use to remember our day. I am so proud to display her photos in my home, and still get compliments on the wonderful work she did. I am grateful to Lauren for being a part of our special day and exceeding our expectations as a vendor.

    We hired Lauren as our photographer after meeting her at a wedding expo. I was a little nervous hiring her because we had only met for a few minutes and I didn't have a personal recommendation. However, hiring Lauren ended up being one of our best decisions during the wedding process. Lauren is so creative and has a great personality. Her photos were incredible, and we got a ton of them! She definitely has an eye for great shots ---- including a few where she got down on the ground to get the right angle. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.

    Lauren took our engagement pictures and did a fantastic job! She was professional, but also so much fun to work with! She absolutely captured "us" and was willing to go above and beyond for great shots. You can definitely tell she loves what she does - and is great at it!
    I would definitely recommend her to anyone and everyone!
