Meet your photographer

Hey! I’m Lauren, you’re new hype-woman, love obsessed, photo-friend.

Photography has always been in my heart, and after taking a photography class in my last year of college, I finally decided to pursue it. I began by exploring portraiture and eventually found myself drawn into the world of weddings and I knew I have found my place. Capturing love, whether it’s the big day or the small moments of everyday life, fills me with purpose and joy, capturing moments you can relive forever.

As a proud queer woman, I embrace my community with open arms and value love for what it is, regardless whom it is between. I’m fortunate to share my life with the most wonderful fiancée, and together we live with our adorable Whoodle, Lucy, and toy Aussie, Cowboy. Currently we live spend most of our time in Charlotte, NC but will be relocating to San Diego in 2027!

Through my photography, I aim to create a safe and inclusive space for all couples to express their love. My goal is to capture the essence of your unique story, celebrating who you are and the love you share. To my fellow LGBTQ+ couples: know that I stand beside you, ready to honor your journey and create stunning visuals that reflect your authentic selves.

Join me as we create memories together, celebrating love in all its beautiful forms!
