THE COLLECTIONS
I believe wedding photography is more than just pictures—it’s about capturing your story, your love, and the in-between moments that make your day special. With over 13 years of experience photographing in Louisville, Kentucky, Southern Indiana, and beyond, I know how to document your big day in a way that feels effortless and natural.
I specialize in emotive, storytelling-style photography, making sure you feel comfortable in front of the camera while I take care of capturing your best moments. Whether you're wondering "How do I pose?", or "Should I do a first look?", I’ll guide you through every step!
GET TO KNOW THE PHOTOGRAPHER
welcome
She was the first, and only photographer we met with. She’s no nonsense, straight to the point, and absolutely hilarious. She was more than accommodating when we asked for in home engagements, stayed in contact with us during the long gap between engagement and the ceremony, and offered support and creative touches the day of. I would absolutely recommended Lauren to everyone I know looking for a photographer, wedding or otherwise.
"Lauren was an absolute delight to work with since the very beginning."
kind words
I happened to meet Lauren through my field of work, as a wedding coordinator at Huber's Orchard & Winery in Starlight, IN. After working alongside her professionally and seeing her finished product of brides I had personally worked with also, I knew she had a knack for catching all the best shots. We hired Lauren to do our wedding and reception photography and could not have been happier with the outcome! I am so glad that I can continue my relationship with Lauren through our shared interests. Thank you Lauren!!!
"Having worked with Lauren professionally, I already knew she was incredible—so hiring her personally was an easy decision.."

From the beginning, she’s been the best about answering all my silly questions and keeping me informed. My 'now husband' never did family pictures growing up or as he got older, until he met me. Believe me when I say he was AWKWARD when we started our engagement pictures. But Lauren brought him out of his shell and loosened him up. He was so stiff starting out. The pictures turned out absolutely beautiful. The location she suggested for our outfits was perfect. The turn around time to get them back was extremely quick for how busy she is. Fast forward to the wedding, I am not kidding when I say, I have never seen such beautiful wedding photos as mine. Her work is outstanding. Everyone I show them to comments about how beautiful they are. She has lots of ideas and they are beautiful caught behind her lens. She will always be at the top of my recommendations for photos!
"Lauren was absolutely a pleasure to work with"

After photographing close to two hundred weddings in the last 13 years, I've found that I'm not the perfect fit for every couple.
That’s why this process begins with a conversation. I want to hear
everything—how you met, funny first date stories, and how you got
engaged.
We’ll get to know one another, talk about the details of your
day, answer any questions you might have about working with me and
figure out if we’re the best fit for each other.

I'm here as a resource beyond photography—whether you're looking for engagement session outfit recommendations, timeline advice, or vendor referrals.
Even if you're working with a wedding planner or you're planning a simple wedding, there are likely still a lot of moving pieces left leading up to your big day. I've photographed close to 200 weddings in the past few years and I'm happy to share everything I've learned along the way!
Wedding Advice

I'm a big fan of engagement sessions for a few reasons. Not only do they allow you to get comfortable in front of the camera, they also give you the opportunity to showcase your personalities in a more casual setting that is significant to the two of you.
Engagement sessions can take place anywhere from immediately following a proposal to just a few days before the wedding. We’ve found that there isn’t a “good” or “bad” time to take your photos. I normally plan sessions based on a particular “look” a couple has in mind, spring flowers for example, or based on schedules.
Engagement Session

I check-in about two months before the wedding to start chatting about timeline specifics, special details, family formal shot lists, special traditions and anything else we should know about your big day.
While I normally don't send this questionnaire until closer to the wedding, please don't hesitate to let us know if you have questions during the planning process!

You can expect your photos to be delivered via an online gallery within about eight weeks of your wedding.(Usually sooner!) At that time, I'll also send over details about preserving your images through prints and albums.
I hope the relationship doesn't end after we deliver your photographs. I want to hear about the adventures of married life. And if you decide to have kids, I'd love to document your growing family.

THE COLLECTIONS
One of the best ways to make your wedding memories last is by ordering
an album. These high quality professionally designed albums come in a
variety of linen & leather colors.
These aren’t the same albums your parents wedding photos came in.
They’re modern, lay perfectly flat and look incredible on coffee tables.
All albums must be prepaid before design begins. Albums typically take
between 4 to 6 weeks to complete and include three rounds of revision. Albums may be ordered anytime before or after the wedding day.
ALBUMS
Most of the collections include a complimentary engagement session. It takes time for most couples to warm up to being
photographed and understand how I pose. Timelines can be
pretty tight on weddings days and 30 minutes may be all we
have for portraits - which is why we’ve found that wedding day
portraits turn out so much better when couples do engagement
sessions ahead of time.
Sessions also allow you to showcase your personalities in a more casual
setting that is significant to the two of you (and even include
pets!) While they’re great for save-the-dates, we’ve taken
engagement photos anywhere from 18 months in advance to a
few days before the wedding.
Engagement Sessions
Fantastic! To reserve your wedding date, we’ll need a completed contract and a 33% non-refundable deposit. If you don’t have a contract yet, just let us know and we’ll send one over! The remaining balance will be due 1 week before the wedding.
We love your work and we’re ready to book! What’s the next step?
Galleries typically include anywhere between 400 and 800 photos. The exact amount varies from wedding to wedding depending on how much time you book. Your online gallery will come loaded with fullyedited high resolution images you can print anywhere. You’re also welcome to share your wedding photos on Facebook as long as you credit us and link to our website.
How many photos are typically included and can we print the photos ourselves?
We typically add travel fees on to any wedding outside of a 60 mile radius from our home in Annapolis, Maryland. Fees vary depending on location so ask us for more details.
