    Dream Photographer!!

    The search for a wedding photographer was somewhat accidental. I was scrolling through Instagram and stumbled across Lauren’s page, which highlighted that she shot both in film and digital. I had a personal preference and love for film photography, but it is hard to find in a digital era! I didn’t really search beyond Lauren. I had followed along with her social media long enough that I knew she was ‘the one’! It also helped that she was a Pittsburgh based photographer and that is where my husband is from. I wanted to incorporate as much of his hometown as possible- even in non-traditional ways! One thing that made Lauren stand out against other photographers was that all her brides looked different. It was important to me that somebody I worked with was comfortable with different body types and styles. Ultimately one of the many reasons we were happy that we chose her was how comfortable she made us feel in front of the camera. We ended up having the engagement shoot the day before the wedding and the timing honestly couldn't have been more perfect. I had been feeling a little bit self-conscious and was worried that it would come across in the photos. In only a few hours Lauren taught us to pose, where to look, and made me feel like I had been in front of the camera my entire life. Lauren exceeded our expectations in every way imaginable. From her recommendation on wedding planners to her choice in assistants 😉, we couldn’t have asked for more. We didn’t think portraits could be so much fun! Lauren captured the intimate details we took so much care in planning as well as special moments we are already reminiscing over! I would absolutely recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a top-tier photographer. We are already looking forward to working with her again! If you’re looking for an intimate and personalized experience with unbelievable results- Lauren is your girl!

    Lauren Renee Photography's reply:

    Hilary!! Thank you so, so much for your wonderful words. It was so much fun getting to travel to DC to work with you both and your families! Can't wait to work with you both agin soon!

    Exceeded expectations!

    Lauren & her team were EXCEPTIONAL from start to finish. A joy to work with every step of the way. I found Lauren through my Pittsburgh photography research and her work stood out from the rest. She and her team perfectly captured our beautiful day and now we get to look back on our day via 1500+ photos. What ultimately led to us choosing Lauren was our in-person interview where we could feel her excitement, energy & professionalism, as well as her shooting style (film). Her work felt so authentic and warm and ever since we met, we knew we had to secure her for our wedding day. We even took the additional step of hiring her for our engagement photos which I HIGHLY recommend so you can work with her before your wedding day to feel comfortable in front of the camera. She is an absolute gem and made my husband and I feel so comfortable throughout the entire process.

    If you're considering working with Lauren, do it. We couldn't have imagined our big day without her and she exceeded our expectations.

    Lauren Renee Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Natalie and Ryan for the amazing and heartfelt review! I have adored working with you both over the last few years, and can't wait to continue celebrating and capturing more of life's incredible moments for you!

    Irreplaceable Experience

    Lauren Renee Photography was recommended to us by our wedding planner and we could not have been more satisfied with our decision to work with her. Lauren pours her heart and soul into every event she is involved with and spends countless hours of physical, mental and emotional time with every client. It was not only her heart that drew us to her as the ideal wedding photographer, but also her honest and confident outlook on the product she provides. The level of service and quality of photography represent an exceptional return on our investment with LRP. Lauren and her team were the idyllic balance of comforting and authoritative on our wedding day to gather our wedding party and deliver stunning images. We will find any excuse to work with Lauren again in the future! She is an amazing photographer and now friend.

    Lauren Renee Photography's reply:

    Amy!!! Thank you both so much for trusting me, and I am so lucky to have met you! You are the kindest soul and I truly value and cherish our newfound friendship! Can't wait to work with you both again and welcome to the Lauren Renee Legacy Family! xoxoxo

    Stunning, Timeless Photography

    Where do I even start? Hiring Lauren was hands down one of the best decisions I made for our wedding. There are so many photographers to choose from, but from the second I saw Lauren’s work, it was an absolute no-brainer. Lauren works absolute magic behind the camera, and the photos speak for themselves. From our engagement shoot, to our wedding day, every single image that Lauren took just blew us away. Her talent is truly unparalleled, and we are so lucky to have the most timeless photos to cherish from such a special day. More importantly though, Lauren is one of the most genuine and kind people that I’ve ever met. Due to the pandemic, we had to postpone and reschedule our original wedding date, and Lauren provided us with the utmost flexibility and grace. Throughout the entire process, Lauren went above and beyond her role as a photographer, and it was clear that she was just as invested in our wedding day as we were. Lauren was so detail oriented throughout the process, and this helped our wedding day to flow smoothly without a hitch. Lauren captured the most aesthetically beautiful photos of our wedding day, but she also somehow captured the feelings of love and joy that surrounded us. We are so fortunate that we were able to work with such a talented and creative professional, and are already looking forward to working with Lauren again in the future.

    Lauren Renee Photography's reply:

    Kajsa and Nick!!! Where do I even start?!?!? It has been an incredible journey working with you two and I feel so lucky to have had you as clients, who took everything over the last year with so much patience and grace. Your words mean so, so much to me, and I am forever grateful that you chose to work with me and allowed me to capture so many incredible moments for you and your families. I hope to work with you both again soon! Thank you thank you!!

    Absolutely the best out there

    Lauren is HANDS DOWN THE BEST! I absolutely loved working with her! I couldn’t imagine my wedding photos and overall day with her to go any better than what it did! I am not a person who is comfortable in front of the camera AT ALL but Lauren made me feel so comfortable which made everything so much better! She’s incredibly easy to work with, sweet, and genuine! I want her to take pictures of me all the time 😉

    Lauren Renee Photography's reply:

    Emma and Ryan!!! You both are the sweetest! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this amazing review! I so appreciate it! You rocked it on your wedding day and were such a natural, it was so easy to take photos of you both!! Hope to work with you again soon!! xooxx

    Lauren Renee Photography- Simply the best!


    Lauren Renee Photography. Gosh. I have no idea where to start. Lauren is magic. She has a gift, and she uses it to BECOME a gift to her couples. Lauren is KIND. She sent a gift when we first booked her. She cared when we had to postpone our wedding. She offered to do an engagement session on what would have been our wedding day, and then she made what could have been a sad day such a wonderful day still worth remembering nevertheless. After postponing our wedding, we were sad. “COVID brides” seemed to have obstacle after obstacle stacked against them, but Lauren made us excited for our wedding again and so optimistic that whatever it ended up looking like would be perfect. She reminded me of that several times over the past months. Lauren was uplifting and considerate during a time when those two characteristics were impossible to find in this world. Lauren is TALENTED. Our engagement photos were PERFECT. I could not even pick a favorite, and more so I could not get over the fact that we had this Wonder Woman of an artist yet to capture our big day. She is professional and extremely detail-oriented. She wants to know how you met. How he proposed. Your family members’ names. The shots you care about. All your vendors. Your style. Lauren traveled the day before my wedding to photograph all my details just because she knew I had obsessed over them for over a year. Who does that!?!?!?! No one does that. Til Lauren. She makes you feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful. If you don’t love the camera, she will make you. If you don’t love yourself, she will show you your most beautiful you. She did that for me, and I would recommend her with every ounce of energy in me so other brides can feel that, too. Please, do not hesitate to book Lauren. You WILL NOT regret it. Her team is also incredible and SO kind. My dress and veil were.... a lot.... and not once did they hesitate to fix it and make sure everything was perfect all day. Your wedding pictures last a lifetime and, while Lauren might think the pleasure of capturing our days is hers, trust me... the pleasure is all ours.

    Lauren Renee Photography's reply:

    I wish I could love this a million times over! I honestly have no words, this is the most amazing and thoughtful written review and I am sitting here tearing up reading this over and over again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, I truly am so lucky to have worked with you and your families and I hope to again soon!!!

    Best in Western PA

    Lauren is a true professional that provides exceptional value. It's hard to imagine getting married without the guidance her and her team provided. Above all, the photos are phenomenal and I'm grateful we made the investment in Lauren Renee Wedding Photography to provide our most important keepsakes from the wedding.

    Truly the best!

    We can not say enough wonderful things about Lauren and her team!!! She was absolutely incredible to work with from start to finish! She answered any questions that we had and provided expert advise on all things wedding! Lauren truly went above and beyond for us and exceeded our expectations. She is so talented and knowledgeable and made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole process and behind the camera. She even sent us sneak peak photos and they took our breath away!!We were living out of state during our engagement and Lauren made sure that wasn't an issue in the planning process. It felt like we were working with a friend, which allowed us to open up behind the camera. Lauren and her team were so on top of it throughout our engagement, but also literally blew us away on the wedding day! They were so professional, organized, and prepared and made sure that all of our requests were met- even pictures with our puppies!! Literally all my dreams came true! I honestly can not say thank you enough to Lauren and her team!!! Will definitely be using Lauren again for our future life events :)

    Lauren Renee Photography's reply:

    Chelsey and Casey!! Thank you both so incredibly much for not only this amazing review, but also trusting in me to capture your special day! It was such a joy working with you both, through our phone calls and skype session to your wedding day itself!! This review is so wonderful and detailed and truly gives an amazing description of what it was like working with me and my team!! I am truly grateful for you and your business and I can't wait to work with you both again soon!! XOXO

    Timeless romantic photos & beautiful memories

    We knew we wanted Lauren to capture our wedding the minute we saw her timeless, soft, and romantic photos - she was actually the first vendor we booked! Not only is Lauren an incredible photographer, but she was wonderful to work with and put us at ease leading up to and the day of our wedding (and she can really drive a golf cart!) Having done our engagement photos, she helped us relax in front of the camera so that we knew what to expect on our wedding day. Lauren kept everything the day-of running smoothly - making sure she captured all the details and family photos we wanted while getting us to and from the church with time to breathe! She even snuck us out after dinner for sunset photos! 💕 We could not have enjoyed working with Lauren more, and would work with her and her team again in a heartbeat!

    Lauren Renee Photography's reply:

    Kristin and Craig!! Thank you both so much for this wonderful review and for your trust in me!! I loved getting to know you both over this past year and truly feel honored to have worked with you and your families!

    Exceptionally Talented.

    Lauren is a wizard at her craft. All seriousness, I could not love this girl more. She is not only just an amazing human being but an extraordinary artist and master at capturing raw emotion. From the minute we started doing our research on photographers for our wedding, Lauren was immediately the professional my husband and I wanted to work with. Her work just speaks volumes to the passion she possesses and provides for her clients. She has an undeniable ability to tell a story through her imagery - and a raw talent for bringing to light and capturing true expression. We were SO relieved when lauren was available to capture our special day. These photos are something you hold onto forever, so just know you are in good hands with Lauren. My husband and I will be married a year this coming September (sorry for the late review!) and I look at our wedding photos every day. We framed our photos in a gallery wall in our long hallway and I stop and look at them every time I pass. I couldn’t have asked for more perfection, professionalism, attention to detail and just an overall warmth and kind heart working with Lauren. She.Is.The.Best

    Lauren Renee Photography's reply:

    Kelsey and Ryan, you both were an absolute dream to work with, and this review is beyond words! I feel so lucky to have connected with you both, through our professional relationship, and now having you as dear friends really does make this job everything I could ever ask for and more. Truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much! Love you both and wish you a lifetime of happiness!! xoxoxo

    Engagement photo session

    We have admired Lauren's work for some time and were so excited to be able to do our engagement photo shoot with her. We were not sure how to prepare for the experience but received a thorough email from Lauren the week before our shoot with a guide containing answers to every question we had and even ones we did not think of. This made us feel so much more prepared and less stressed on the day of the shoot.
    Lauren made herself available at a time and place that was both convenient for us and that she knew would provide a beautiful backdrop and optimal lighting. She was energetic, and excited and she immediately put us at ease. Her confidence and easy to follow direction throughout the shoot made it so that we never felt awkward, uncomfortable, or unsure of ourselves. The experience was truly fun and the laughter and happiness she captured in our photos was genuine. It was clear that Lauren knew exactly what she was doing at all stages of the process and her experience was apparent throughout.
    A couple of days later, Lauren sent us some preview photos from the shoot and we absolutely fell in love with them. Everything about our engagement photos is beautiful. They made us feel even more excited about our upcoming wedding and our future together. Along with our family, we will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives and we will forever remain grateful to Lauren for capturing this special time in our lives and for the wonderful experience we had with her.

    Lauren Renee Photography's reply:

    Maria!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am so honored to have photographed you and Noah during your engagement session! I feel lucky to have worked with you both and I am so excited to see what the future holds for you two!

    Needs more than 5 stars!

    If I could put more stars down, I would. Lauren is AMAZING at what she does, she truly captures the moment and happiness of one of the best days of your life! She is amazing to work with and incredibly detail oriented, she is also assertive (in a good way) on the wedding day to make sure you get every photo you want and she doesn’t miss those important moments. I have been in my fair share of weddings and Lauren was by far the most professional photographer I’ve seen, she came prepared and ready to capture photos that we will cherish for the rest of our lives and the photos are AMAZING and I love that when I look through them I get to relive the best day of my life!

    Thank you Lauren for capturing our day and our love for each other so perfectly!

    Lauren Renee Photography's reply:

    manda and Anthony, thank you both so, so much!!! This review is so meaningful and I appreciate your kind words!! It was incredible getting to work with you and your families, and I am so honored to have photographed so many special moments for you!

    Beautiful Shots

    Lauren is a true professional. She along with her staff, were so accommodating and paid attention to detail. Our preview shots are gorgeous. Lauren put all of us at ease in order to capture the precious moment in time. The lens only captures what the photographer creates. Lauren seems to have the vision to draw out these things that will allow the image to speak to you. We are so excited to get our final proofs. Many thanks for capturing our day.

    Lauren Renee Photography's reply:

    Nikki!!! You are the sweetest!! Thank you so so much for this amazing review!! I loved working with you and your family and I cannot wait to send you the gallery!! Your wedding was nothing short of amazing and I feel so lucky to have been a part of your special day!! xoxoox

    Master of her craft, consummate professional, and the sweetest heart

    Lauren was my favorite vendor of all vendors throughout my wedding process. She is a consummate professional while also being extraordinarily warm and understanding. She was the only vendor who sent a small token as a thank you after the contract was signed, which left a big impact. She was highly organized, kind, intuitive, punctual, and a true master of her craft. After our photos came out my mother texted me and said "Tell your photographer she is brilliant. Truly a master artist." I could not agree more. I could not recommend her more. She was perfection.

    Lauren Renee Photography's reply:

    Brooke!!! Thank you so incredibly much! I truly appreciate you taking the time to write about your experience working with me and it was an honor and pleasure to travel to DC/VA and to work with you both on your wedding! I hope to see you both again soon!!!

    Best Pittsburgh Photographer!

    My husband and I knew we wanted to work with Lauren the minute we first set eyes on her work! We first saw Lauren's photography online while we were researching our wedding venue, and we just couldn't stop looking at her photographs of prior weddings at our venue. Once we got to her website, we fell even more in love with her photography style! Her talent is truly one of a kind - the way she can capture any lighting to bring out an airy, soft, and romantic style, and how she captures raw emotion between two people, which is what we were looking for. And, to top it off, she is an amazing person in addition to photographer! We felt an instant connection to her when we met for our engagement photos, which turned out BEAUTIFUL, and we were just as blown away with our wedding photographs. An additional note - our engagement photos occurred on a cloudy evening, and a few minutes after we decided to be done for the night, the sun blasted through some clouds for an amazing sunset. Lauren quickly took out her equipment again and took a bonus round of photographs! She was incredibly thoughtful to do that, and it shows just how much she cares about the couples she works with. She is SO fun to work with, and easily makes you feel comfortable during the photoshoots. We cannot recommend Lauren highly enough; she has provided us with beautiful, long lasting memories through her timeless art style. Lauren, we can never thank you enough!
    Molly & Kevin

    Lauren Renee Photography's reply:

    Molly and Kevin!! This means so much to me and I cannot thank you both enough!! It was truly a joy to work with you on both your engagement session and wedding day!! I wish you both nothing but the best, and I hope to work with you again soon! Please keep in touch! oxoxo

    May 2019 Succop Nature Park wedding

    We had two friends use LRD for their weddings a few years before we got married in May 2019 and we knew their experiences were amazing, so using Lauren for our wedding was a no-brainer. In fact, she was the FIRST vendor we booked 16 months in advance! Lauren had the artistic style that we wanted for our wedding - light, airy, romantic, some spontaneous and some posed photos. She was fantastic throughout the whole engagement and wedding process. She was so friendly and outgoing when we first met in person - very easy-going. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She's so knowledgeable and helpful with wedding logistics in terms of photo planning, etc, for the actual day-of that you would think she's been doing this for 30 years! She and her assistants captured our wedding day beautifully and we love to go back and relive all the moments from that special day. Our photos came in a timely manner as well - and they were breathtaking as expected. We are so, so happy that our friends found Lauren and exposed her work to us years ago. She was a gem and we are 100% satisfied. We will absolutely be using her in the future for anniversary/baby/whatever life brings our way! 10/10 hands down!

    Lauren Renee Photography's reply:

    Chelsea and Alex!! Thank you thank you thank you!!! What an amazing review! I loved working with you both from your engagement photos to your wedding, and I would be honored to continue to document your special life moments in the future! Please keep in touch and I look forward to the next time we work together!! xoxoxoox

    Simply Amazing

    Lauren is Fantastic, and that is an understatement!! From the moment I met Lauren for my boudoir shoot I immediately felt comfortable, relaxed, and as if we hand been lifelong friends. She made this experience one to remember as her hair/makeup team made me feel equally as comfortable. Lauren is so talented and professional. My photos turned out STUNNING and I know my fiancé is going to love his wedding gift. I would highly recommend Lauren for her talent, professionalism, overall caring personality and love for what she does.

    Working with Lauren was a dream!

    I can't say enough positive things about working with Lauren!! We got AMAZING photos and met a truly wonderful and kind person all in one. I cried when I saw the photos, they were so beautiful and timeless. You will not regret working with her. She is incredibly fun and made us super comfortable when taking our photos. I would definitely recommend doing your engagement photos with her as well because she teaches you so much about posing and being in front of the camera. She was also really responsive and gave me great advice when planning out the details of the day and wanted to make sure she captured the things most important to us. If you want high quality photos, you have to commit to the investment and it was the best money I spent on our wedding!!

    Lauren Renee Photography's reply:

    Anna and Tim!!! Thank you, thank you!! This is such a wonderful review and I am so lucky I got to work with you both on such a special day in your lives! You both are seriously the best, and I hope to work with you again soon!!

    LRD - Pittsburgh Wedding

    I worked with Lauren on a few other shoots past our wedding day and she made every experience absolutely amazing. She was patient with us, but also made every shoot SO MUCH FUN. Additionally and probably the biggest call out is our wedding day. It rained the entire day and Lauren made the experience unforgettable in the best way. Not to mention our photos turned out so unique and beautiful. Its important to feel comfortable with your photographer and I can confidently say every experience was very comfortable and enjoyable. We not only have great pictures to reflect back on from our journey, but also made a great friend in the process :)

    Lauren Renee Photography's reply:

    Bettina!! Where to even begin! Thank you so much for the amazing and thoughtful review! I am so lucky to have connected with you both, not only as clients but now having you as friends as well. You both are truly special, and I hope to see you both again soon!

    Beautiful images and amazing experience

    We loved working with Lauren! She is amazing at what she does and captures the most beautiful photos that will help us to remember all of the details of our wedding day for years to come. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

    AMAZING! Could not be happier!!

    I knew exactly what I wanted when I began my research for wedding photographers. I wanted a beautiful, bright, light, and classic look that would not be extremely over edited or too cliché. I happened to stumble on Lauren’s Instagram one day while scrolling through the explore page. I believe it had to be fate! I instantly fell in love and every single picture was everything I had dreamed up for my own pictures! Once contacting Lauren, I had fallen in love with her too! From our first meeting up until the wedding day, we hit the jackpot. Lauren is so genuine, honest, determined, and her professionalism is one that is so hard to find. She was willing to meet at any point throughout the planning process, extremely accessible to contact, and truly was a wealth of knowledge! She provided us with so much information that allowed us to remain at ease! I believe you have to feel comfortable with your vendors, and not only were we comfortable, we were confident. I never once felt that I needed to worry about how the pictures would turn out or how the day would flow. Throughout meeting with Lauren she provided us with plans of how the day would run and even went to our ceremony location days before to become familiar with it! Not only is Lauren an amazing person to be around and work with, her pictures are truly works of art! To this day, I do not believe there is anyone else that could have captured the essence of our wedding day the way Lauren did. She took the time to really get to know and care about us as a couple, which I believe really shined through in the pictures. It felt like she was one of our best friends there with us during the day! Wedding days can become stressful trying to fit everything in, and Lauren was always stress free, calm, and took her time to make sure everything was perfect and she always captured the perfect shot! Everyone that has seen our pictures have said that they are the most beautiful, elegant, and magazine worthy pictures. I even find myself going through them and looking at them day after day. Not only do I love them, but they leave me speechless. The photos are timeless, breathtaking, and something we will be able to cherish for the rest of our lives. Photography was the biggest and most important aspect of the wedding vendors for me, and we could have not have been luckier to have worked with such a talented, creative, and amazing photographer who has now become our friend!

    Above & Beyond on ALL Fronts

    Working with Lauren was an absolute dream from Day 1. We first spoke as I was in the very early stages of my research on photographers. After loving her website and our first call together I knew I didn't need to look any further. For our engagement photos Lauren went above and beyond. She was more than willing to travel 5 hours out of state so that we could have our session on our alma mater's campus, making it such a meaningful and romantic shoot for us. On top of that, she quickly got us gorgeous proofs to use for our Save the Date and even helped me with outfit advice leading up to our session. In the months before our wedding Lauren was always quick to respond to any questions we had and also provided tons of helpful information so that we felt organized and ready. Everything from extended family shots to the smallest detail shots like the all-important wedding accessories were covered in her provided lists and then captured the day of. Lauren came to my parents' house where the bridal party was getting ready and it truly felt like she was another one of my friends helping me get ready. She was so much more than a photographer but a friend and supporter. She was consistently detail-oriented, making sure that shots I wanted didn't get lost in the shuffle during the pre-ceremony buzz. The ceremony shots Lauren took truly captured everything and are some of the most sentimental shots of the day. Because of a rainy forecast on our wedding day, Lauren had multiple plans prepared to make sure that we got everything we wanted in between our ceremony and reception, regardless of the weather. We took stunning photos in the natural light as well as beautiful shots under the rotunda of our cocktail hour area. The whole day was beautifully captured and really we couldn't have asked for more. Our new home (and offices, and phone screens, and mantels. and refrigerators) has her stunning work everywhere and I am grateful every day that we put our wedding photography in her hands.

    Jillian, what an amazing review! I cannot thank you enough and love how you completely described your experience working with me! This is so helpful and your sweet words are everything. THANK YOU!

    We spent a lot of time looking for a photographer whose images were timeless -- not kitschy or saccharine or over-edited. We were looking for someone who could capture us and our families realistically and beautifully -- in a way that we'd be proud to share for generations to come. If you want the same thing, look no further. Lauren is an absolute professional, undeniably talented, and beyond helpful from start to finish. She was the best vendor we worked with, and exceeded our expectations at every turn.

    Lauren Renee Photography's reply:

    Sarah!! What a beautiful review!! Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart! It was a true pleasure working with you both! It is my goal to make your images last from generation to generation, and I am so happy you will be able to cherish your wedding photos for many years to come! I hope to work with you again soon!

    Our experience working with Lauren/Lauren Renee Designs was nothing short of 5 star. Lauren is extremely knowledgeable and detail oriented. She really went the extra mile with every last element of the planning process, checking in frequently and responding to calls/emails almost immediately. There was no detail left unaddressed, which made the wedding planning process seamless and stress-free. She is very well-versed and professional in working and collaborating with the other vendors involved in putting together an event. Lauren was a true professional but also fun and personable to work with and be with throughout the day of our wedding. She had a preview of our photos ready to go the day after the event, which was so exciting to be able to share with our family and friends right away. The rest of the images were ready just a few weeks after, and we were so excited to have them that quickly. The photos speak for themselves, they are timeless and elegant images that I am sure will withstand the test of time. I chose Lauren knowing that I would be able to look back on our photos forever and never regret the style of the photography. I would highly recommend working with Lauren, and investing the time and money in these fine art photos, as they are the one thing that you get to take with you when the night of your wedding or event is over. Thank you Lauren for exceeding all of our expectations!

    The best photographer!

    I don't even know where to begin with writing this review for Lauren because she is just that amazing. We spoke with a few photographers before choosing one for our wedding, and after speaking with Lauren, she was the obvious choice. Her style of photography matched perfectly with what I wanted in a photographer and she was so fun to talk to! She was extremely organized throughout the entire process and very easy to communicate with. She had excellent ideas for locations for engagement pictures and our bridal party pictures, and made every experience with her so much fun and natural! We always felt ourselves when working with her and she really listened to what we wanted on our wedding day. We had such a fun day when we took our engagement pictures and LOVED each and every one of those pictures so much that it made picking out our photo for the save the date that much harder! We received so many compliments on our engagement pictures! Throughout the year of wedding planning, Lauren was so organized and helpful with the planning process and answered all of our questions honestly while giving great advice! It is obvious that she is confident in what she does, and is SO talented! She followed our timeline the entire wedding day and made sure we got all of the pictures we wanted without compromising anything, and we are so appreciative of that! She was so much fun to work with and made our wedding day that much better! Her photography is absolutely amazing and we look back on our wedding day with such happiness through the incredible photos that she took. She also made our wedding album, which is so beautiful and timeless, and she was extremely patient while we narrowed down which photos to include in the album! We could not be happier that we chose Lauren as our wedding photographer, she is the absolute BEST! We can't wait to use her as our photographer for other life events in the future!

    Lauren Renee Photography's reply:

    Carlie!!! Where do I even begin in how to responding to your review!!! From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you for working with me, thank you for letting me into your lives, and thank you for being such a joy to work with! I feel so lucky when clients become friends, and I have to pinch myself sometimes thinking how did this become my job? Working with such amazing people and families on such an important day in their lives is so special, and I am honored you chose me to capture it for you! Can't wait to work with you both again soon!
