LaurMar Photo For the laid back, messy hair, adventurous souls
PA based - up next: TX, VT, CO, MT, GREECE Hi! I'm Lauren!
(23)

I'm a wedding photographer for the laid-back, messy hair, adventurous souls. Serving Central PA and beyond, but if you get me on a plane I'll love you forever!!!

I am so very behind on sharing things I've been shooting and delivering this busy season...not because I don't love you all, but because we be busyyyyyy over here.

So I felt like today was a good day to share the Benner fam!

These are my "adventure friends." I've known them for what feels like forever, but only see them like twice a year...and typically it's on some mountain with a snowboard in hand.

I love this family so much and am so so in love with how their family photos turned out!

Another night spent with another of my favorite little families!!

Goodness gracious, watching this little boy grow has been so fun!

I'd say we're almost friends...he still hates being held, but will smile at me if I'm at a distance. He's just making me work to show my love, but one look at that face makes it worth the effort!

I can't wait to watch you grow Kayce James!

Facebook is where it all started...

For Jake and Kaitlyn AND for me and Jake and Kaitlyn

Let me explain...

Last year, I had a wedding out in Idaho and I planned on swinging over to the Tetons in Wyoming to hike. While I was planning the trip, I kept thinking that it would be great if I could find a couple to photograph while in Wyoming

I'm in a whole bunch of travel groups for places I love (Wyoming being one of them) and on one random day, Kaitlyn posted looking for hiking recommendations for the dates I was going to be there

So, like the normal person that I am, I creeped on her Facebook and concluded she didn't seem dangerous and slid into her dms to ask if I could convince her and Jake to do a photo session. She said yes! He messaged me sepererately and told me he was going to propose and asked if that was okay. I said yes!

And well, here we are. Their wedding day in Arkansas!

It was truly a magical and dreamy day! A day surrounded in so much prayer, full of delicious food, and a whole lot of joy!

I am so thankful last year I took a chance and sent that message to Kaitlyn! Jake and Kaitlyn are some of the nicest people I have ever met. I felt like we've been friends for years!

I'm so excited for the small role I play on their wedding day and can't wait to see them step into marriage!

An evening spent with one of my favorite little families is an evening well spent!

Love this little girl and her parents so much! She has a personality as big as the sky and always makes me smile.

It all started with a New Years Eve kiss…

And on Saturday, they started a new chapter with a kiss

World, let me introduce you to Mr and Mrs Hoenstine!

They are the sweetest and kindest of people. Full of smiles and goodness and joy! All the things I pray over their marriage for all the years to come!

At one point on Saturday, I asked Temma what her favorite thing about Doak was. She told me she loved that he was pure in everything that he did and that he had the most gorgeous eyes.

While he does have really pretty eyes, it was the other part of her answer that stood out to me

And I got to witness it firsthand. He was pure to the core when it came to Temma. Pure in his love of her.

I think that just needs to be a testament to someone out there waiting. Wait for a love that’s pure. That’s true. That will stand beside you. And that is so much fun and makes your face hurt from smiling so much.

I’m so thankful I got the opportunity to capture this wedding! It was so beautiful!!

I booked my very first wedding for $500

I will never forget it. It was a Monday afternoon, 5 minutes from my house, and a very small intimate wedding. I was terrified out of my mind, and I drug my best friend there with me because I didn't want to go alone.

At the time, I had no intention or real desire to pursue wedding photography. I only said yes because I was a poor college student, and the money sounded nice.

That year, I shot 3 weddings. All for $500.

Little did I know that almost 10 years later, I would be a full-time wedding photographer, living out my biggest dreams and doing what I love most.

I've been reflecting on this this weekend because this past week alone, I sent out 2 contracts for weddings that were over 10x what I charged for those first 3.

I've prayed and prayed over this business.
I've surrendered it to Jesus more times than I can count.
I've walked through slow seasons and no seasons.
I've debated getting another job.
I've questioned if it's worth it.

But then I look back on where I've come from. I look at what I've built from the ground up.

And I'm humbled and amazed.

Not at what I've built, but what God has built through me.

This wasn't initially my dream. It was God's dream for me. It was a door that opened (and continues to open) because I keep saying yes to what God lays on my heart.

Nothing has ever grown or shaped me and my faith quite like this baby of mine. It's wild.

And I'm just thankful that I get to do this for a living! I'm thankful that you're here and you trust me with your memories!

Sincerely, a girl who is feeling so so humbled 🫶🏼

Yesterday I was living a real life DREAM! ✨️

I fell in love with Glacier years ago. Anyone who knows me knows that. Like if you never visited this national park add it to your list. It will ruin all other national parks for you though, so be warned.

And I’ve been dreaming of the day I’d get to shoot an elopement here!

So, when Blair and Damien reached out about eloping here I quite literally squealed!

This day has been a year in the making and to actually get to live it yesterday was incredible!

Truly a dream fulfilled! It was PERFECT!

We had such a fun day. Blair and Damien took their time getting ready, signed the marriage license where I technically officiated the wedding, and then we all drove to Glacier and explored the beauty. I couldn’t asked for more!

Oh, and yesterday was their anniversary!! Now it’s their wedding anni! How sweet is that?! 🥺

World, meet the Torres family! I love them! And I'm so thankful for them in my life and in the LaurMar fam!

Yesterday couldn't have been more gorgeous or sweet if they tried! From the cute babies to one of my favorite families to the beautiful venue...it was textbook perfection!

I literally can't wait to edit all of these photos because that golden hour was DREAMYYYYY ✨️🍯 UGHHHHH!

Hi friend! I'm Lauren!

Photographer, friend, professional third-wheel, lover of big mountains and pine trees, and follower of Jesus

I love shooting weddings, couples in love, and everything in between. Capturing life brings me so much joy because I think life is meant to be lived to the absolute fullest.

I know choosing a photographer is a big decision. A decision that is expensive and maybe can be overwhelming. But seasons of life, big or small, are meant to be captured.

So here are some promises from me to you if you hire your girl 🫶🏼

I promise to...

Capture your story in the most authentic and beautiful way that I can.

Be with you every step of the way. Button dresses, pin boutoniers, fluff trains, get you a drink...I'll be there.

Make photos a fun, easy, and a memorable experience. These don't just have to be uncomfortable prom photos...they can be so so much more!

Bring life and adventure! Big or small, in this state or somewhere else...beauty of the world is everywhere you turn.

Treat your memories like they're mine and handle them with care.

Answer any questions you have!

And finally, I promise to serve you as my clients and friends in the best way I possibly can!

It'd be the highest honor to capture your story!! 🫶🏼

Being hired to photograph another photographers wedding is the ULTIMATE compliment. Truly.

The fact that Jordan and Alexis trusted me with their most special day was a gift and it is 1000% not lost on me the honor that it is.

Yesterday was glorious! It was beautiful from the start of the day to the very end.

Some of my favorite moments from the day you ask?!

✨️The unity tree where they planted it with dirt from where they were both from

✨️ Sneaking away in the vineyard with Jordan and Alexis at golden hour

✨️ The first touch where they emotionally read their vows to each other

✨️ Jordan eating up the dance floor

I hope the world loves this glimpse of their wedding as much as I do!! I’m in LOVEEEEEE!

Jill has sat in my living room more times than I can count in different seasons of life, telling me about different boys. But the day Mr. Montana Gates stepped into the picture...she started to talk a little different

The more I get to know these two as a couple, the more I just love 'em. They balance each other out so well and bring out the best in each other.

I can't wait to be part of these two becoming Mr and Mrs next year!!

Meet my newest besties

I could’ve spent hours with Abbie and Kahleb talking about traveling, hiking, eloping…just everything really. Good thing we have a coffee date scheduled to chat all things their elopement!

Which I literally cannot wait for!

There are times in this business it’s hard. Bookings are slow. You’re questioning everything and every dream…

But then you get an Abbie and Kahleb.

You fall head over heels in love with them and your job again. It revives and refreshes you.

Going into their engagement session I prayed just that honestly. It’s so beautiful how God answers prayers in the sweetest ways.

I’m obsessed with most of my clients and these two are no exception!

I never used to like shooting receptions...

I felt like I didn't know how to capture them for the longest time. I didn't know how to make them match my vibe or style.

BUT NOW?!

They're one of my favorite parts of every wedding I shoot and edit.

I love when a dance floor is poppin' and people are having fun

I love the chaoticness of receptions...different things happening everywhere I turn.

I love the unexpected things that happen when the booze starts flowing...like the confidence to do a dirty dancing lift or a group lap dance moment.

I'm glad a couple years ago I made it my goal to fall in love with receptions...because now I think they are truly the most fun! 🥳
