I’m calm by nature, quietly observant and always paying attention to what is happening around me. I’ll notice the little things, keep an eye on how the day is flowing and step in when something needs a little direction. At the heart of it all, I want your photographs to feel like you. A beautiful record of what it looked like, who was there and, most importantly, how it all felt.
I’m Lauren, and most days you’ll find me creating, travelling or soaking up life with my little family, my partner Peter, our son Walker, and our two dogs, Ralphie and Frankie.
I’ve been photographing weddings since 2013, and over the years I’ve learnt that one of my greatest strengths is knowing how to make space for a really good time. I’ll keep the photography feeling easy, guide you when you need it and give you space when you don’t, so you can relax, be with your people and actually enjoy your wedding. More often than not, that’s when the best photographs happen.
I’m inspired by the way people live, love and express themselves. By fashion, painting, beautiful light, interesting composition and the imperfect little details that give something soul. I notice movement, texture, colour, gestures and the things that feel slightly undone. Often, it’s the unexpected rather than the perfect that stays with me.
Travel feeds that curiosity too. I love experiencing different cultures, discovering the food people gather around and seeing the different ways people connect, celebrate and move through the world.
All of it finds its way back into my work somehow. It keeps me looking, experimenting and searching for new ways to make photographs feel beautiful, artful and completely individual to the people in them.
