My passion for photography and weddings began when I was very young. I staged Barbie weddings, making their dresses from Kleenex, then snuck Mom’s camera to take pictures of them. I moved on to dressing up my little sister in a pillowcase veil, again sneaking Mom’s camera. When she got tired of me using up all her film, she brought home several Bride magazines from the free pile at the library and I spent hours reading them, then pinning pages of beautiful wedding dresses on the ceiling of my bedroom. When “The Wedding Planner” came out in 2001, my fate was sealed.
Two years ago, my mom took me on a girls' trip to Galena. She hauled an Aldi shopping bag all over town while we shopped, then at lunch pulled out a present for me--Dream Wedding Barbie--and took a picture of me crying over it. Full circle.
Present day, I am a Beetle-driving, dog-loving homeschool Mom. I spend my weekends on weddings and my weekdays shooting engagement, family, senior, newborn and maternity sessions. I want to get to work with you for life, so get ready for a new best friend who just wants to follow you around with her camera!
I am very excited to be doing more destination weddings. I have a bucket list of locations where I would love to shoot a wedding or elopement. If you are getting married at any of the locations on my list, I will be stoked to hear from you! If you are getting married somewhere else trust me, I am going to be equally as pumped to chat!
My Bucket List > Sedona, Arizona; Zion National Park, Utah; Napa Valley, California; New York City, New York; Savanna, Georgia; Florida Keys, Florida; Charleston, South Carolina; Badlands National Park, South Dakota; Redwood National Park, California; Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah; Oregon; Hawaii
Lauren is absolutely amazing!! She did our engagement and wedding photos, along with her sister. We honestly couldn’t be happier with both sets of photos! She did such a wonderful job! I feel awkward when I’m getting my photos taken and Lauren made it so fun and easy going! She’s also super easy to work with and gets photos back when she says she will. I couldn’t believe how relaxed I felt on both days of photos! I’m still in awe of our photos and I love to look through them all of the time. She captured our love and our special day in a way I couldn’t imagine! She gave us such amazing photos that we get to treasure the rest of our lives. We are forever thankful!
Lauren is incredible to work with. Not only is her photography spectacular, but her personality, flexibility and how kind she is are all amazing traits she has. I will use her again and again!
We used Laurel Tree Photography for our November 2019 wedding and it could not have been
better! From our Engagement session in October 2018 to the wedding itself, everything
was wonderful! We just got our photos back a few weeks ago and we are so happy! They are
all so beautiful and exactly what I wanted!
Beyond being an amazing photographer, Lauren was also a great resource in planning and
organizing my wedding and timeline. I had no clue what I was doing and she really walked
me through planning out our day of timeline. She and Taylor kept us on schedule
throughout the day and provided such a great, friendly atmosphere throughout the day. We
plan to continue using Laurel Tree for all our photography needs in the future!
Lauren is an absolute GEM to work with! She is so kind and creative and absolutely put my husband and I at ease in front of the camera during our first session with her. I live in ... Read More
