Hey!! Happy Monday!

I'm coming to you with my spring session availability!

Just a couple notes:

- I only book sessions about 3-4 months in advance just so I can finalize my wedding and travel schedule and give my wedding clients prime pick of engagement spots. So if you want a summer session check back in late March/April

- My weekend availability is slim due to me shooting mostly weddings and taking Sundays off. But if you need a weekend, reach out and I can see what I can do. :)

“Yahweh remembers”

During Tim’s speech at the reception, he shared these words… “Yahweh remembers”

He shared that both he and Analiese went through long waiting seasons on their journey to each other. That there were moments that they questioned if God heard their pleas for a spouse. They waited. They questioned. They prayed.

Just as God does, He showed up.

He remembered their season of waiting. He remembered their pleas and prayers. He remembered the longing in their hearts.

And at the end of their waiting and longing season, God answered their prayers with each other.

Saturday was one of the sweetest unions I got to document. Probably because I understood the depth of the waiting season. The pain that is there. The longing.

I’ve walked that season so long myself and witnessing firsthand what God can do when we wait on him was so beautiful!

I’m so excited for the newest Mr and Mrs Barta! The gift that they’ve been given with each other is a testament of the goodness of God!

And whoever is reading this and feeling in a waiting season of your own, I just want you to know that God hears your prayers. He knows your heart. He sees your longing. The journey isn’t easy, but when you’re on the other side it will all make sense why you had to be patient. God will never ever answer your prayers halfway. He is bringing you his very best! Trust him!

Hi all you newly engaged couples!! My name is Lauren and I'm a full-time wedding photographer!

I am booking 2025 and 2026 for weddings! My style is natural, timeless, vibrant, and authentic! I love capturing real love stories that are full of life!

Here's what a past client had to say about their experience:
"Five stars hardly feels like enough recognition for Lauren. Her dedication, her natural talent, and her wonderful personality make her truly an easy choice. Lauren is incredible at her craft, and she knows how to make it all look and feel natural and easy. As a bride who was very uneasy in front of the lens, I can say without a doubt Lauren made me feel so beautiful and confident! From our engagement pictures, to our wedding day, to taking our first 'married' Christmas photos-each session with Lauren was so fun and felt more like hanging out with a friend. She was one of the first and easiest wedding decisions we made, and she made the whole process organized and simple. She is a great communicator and a joy to work with. We cannot recommend her enough!!! If you're on the fence, this is the BEST choice you can make-thank you for everything Lauren!!"

What a year! ❤️

So much goodness captured in 2024, but this wedding was a highlight for me! For many reasons (if you know, you know)...

But mainly, I just love Emily and Tyler! This will always go down as one of my favorite weddings! From the dreamy weather to the beautiful venue to the poppin’ dance floor to the STUNNING Emily! It was honestly pure magic!

The Sisler’s trusted me full-heartedly to capture their day! When couples do that, my creativity comes to life, and I’m so proud of what I captured! Plus, it’s like the biggest honor!

As engagement season is here and wedding planning is about to begin, let me give you this advice…

Hire vendors you trust with your whole heart to serve you on your wedding day! You want no regrets or stress day of! You're just going to want to enjoy!

Thank you for all who are here and support this dream of mine! What started as a baby dream has grown into something so amazing!!

I love you all and am looking forward to a beautiful and incredible 2025! 🥺

Merry Christmas, friends! 🫶🏼 I hope you've had a great day with those you love most and have experienced the sweetest of Jesus in some form today!

Just some moments I'm glad are frozen in time forever ✨️

It's wild to me when I think about it sometimes that I'm a memory preserver.

Kisses, laughs, tears, wrinkles, looks of pure joy, babies, someone's last photo, the family pet, so so much more...

I get a front row seat to it all

And you know what sets me and my work apart, I think?

It's the fact that being a memory preserver is the absolute highest of honors to me

It's not about just showing up and snapping photos

It's about building a relationship and connection
It's about preserving a legacy
It's about capturing the beautiful and the messy
It's about documenting the moments that should live on for generations
It's about the first photo of someone's life and their last

Anyone can pick up a camera. Heck, everyone has one attached to them all day every day. But what I do is preserve your memories in a way that lasts forever and ever

That is a pretty incredible responsibility if you ask me! 🫶🏼

And if that's what you want in a wedding photographer, I'm here and booking 2025/26! My calendar is wide open and waiting for YOU!

Let me tell you, there’s just something about a December wedding!

This one was special, though, because they took the winter magic to the beach!

It was a true honor to capture this wedding. I worked for Ava’s parents the year after I graduated college. At the time, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I was softly pursuing photography full-time, but just wasn’t sure where I wanted to go. I learned so much at that job. And met some of the greatest people!

At the time I worked there, Av was in high school. I would spend hours working listening to the teenage gossip after school. The boys. The drama. Who liked who…

But Ava never had anyone that she really liked. I knew it would take someone special to win over her heart. And Ben did just that. He makes her comfortable, relaxed, and she is 100% herself!

It’s been so fun watching this relationship develop from the sidelines, but it was the sweetest thing to get a front row seat to them getting married!

I’m so thankful I got to be here!

What a way to end my 2024 year 🫶🏼

As I’m gearing up for my last wedding of the year this weekend, here’s a throwback to my first 🫶🏼

This wedding set the tone for my whole year…PURE MAGIC! ❄️✨️

This year has been marked by so much goodness! From the snowy wedding of my dreams to epic elopements out west to all the summery goodness weddings to all my fall weddings. It just been absolutely incredible. Truly.

I know it’s not easy to choose a photographer to capture your wedding. It’s a big deal. The one tangible thing that lasts from your wedding. It’s a large investment. Like this isn’t the area to cheap out on, friends.

That’s why when I’m hired to capture your wedding, it is the highest of honors!

I'm always humbled over here at the fact that this is my job! I couldn’t love what I do anymore!!

And if you’re in the market for a photographer…SLIDE INTO MY INBOX! Me and my excited dance are waiting for you!

✨️Just some unfiltered, candid moments of life lately ✨️

A couple months ago my best friend and I decided we weren't keeping in touch as well as we wanted so every Sunday we text each other "our week in pictures" as a way to keep in touch and updated on each other's lives. What started as something random has turned into something I look forward to every week. It also helps me document my life, which is something I personally struggle to do.

This season of life, this year as a whole, has been one of the sweetest. I'm excited to share more about this season in time, but right now, I'm holding it close to my heart.

What a gift life is 🫶🏼

I loved getting the Imler/Shambaugh family in front of my camera! It's always chaotic and fun with this many people, but it's always worth it!!

The Shambaugh's are only in town a couple times of year, so I'm glad the schedules aligned for us to get these!!

These are the moments!!
