Fine Art Wedding Photographer
Artful Photography, Rooted in Care
You deserve to feel valued, respected, and fully yourself on your wedding day. At the heart of my work is a deep commitment to honoring who you are, what matters to you, and how you want to feel on one of the most meaningful days of your life.
Shaped by my years in the performing arts, I approach photography with empathy, awareness, and a supportive presence. When you feel supported and truly seen, it shows. And on your wedding day, that's...
The heart behind the work
exactly how you should feel.
From our first conversation, your experience is shaped with intention. I take the time to understand not only what you’re planning, but how you want the day to feel — emotionally, mentally, and practically.
Every decision is made with care, flexibility, and respect for what matters most to you.
An Experience Designed Around You
explore The Experience
Lauren felt like part of the celebration—calm, joyful, and completely in tune with the energy of the day. She captured everything so naturally, and somehow, we never even noticed the camera.
Before photography, I was a professional dancer. My training taught me how to move with awareness, read subtle cues, improvise, and guide people in ways that feel intuitive rather than forced.
That experience shapes how I photograph others — with thoughtful direction, a sense of ease, an understanding of the body, and a sensitivity to how people naturally express themselves.
The result is timelessly romantic imagery that feels comfortable, natural, and true — never performative.
CHOREOGRAPHING A REFINED EXPERIENCE

While my approach is thoughtful and intentional, a good choreographer knows to leave room for ease, laughter, and personal expression.

I believe everyone deserves to feel welcome, respected, and celebrated exactly as they are. I’m a proud LGBTQIA+ ally and social activist. Inclusivity is foundational to my work.
I was born and raised in Minnesota and I'm endlessly fascinated by people and different cultures. Traveling is one of my favorite ways to explore and expose myself to new perspectives, traditions, and ways of life.
I took an interest in photography at a young age at my extended family reunions. We would only see each other one week of the year, and I wanted to remember absolutely everything. Taking photographs gave me that gift. And it's one of many reasons I'm honored to give you that gift.
I believe that people matter more than perfection. My background in the performing arts taught me that presence, adaptability, and care are what carry a moment forward — even when things don’t go exactly as planned.
