your story

Mr & Mrs Hidlay

Lauren is incredible to work with. I knew basically right after our first meeting she would make a great fit for capturing our wedding. We discussed style and overall vibe, and I felt that our visions aligned especially well. I wanted someone confident who would provide direction while being receptive of other ideas. From our engagement session all the way up through the wedding day, Lauren communicated efficiently and demonstrated so much expertise. All of that, and I haven’t even touched on her work! Suffice to say, it has been absolutely stunning. She came into the day with great ideas and direction and was accommodating to our funny requests (like a quick pre-wedding bar run for espresso martinis). She was super speedy getting us sneak peeks for both shoots, and they were all beautiful. I truly can’t wait to see them all. If you’re considering booking Lauren at all, do it. You won’t be disappointed!!

"Having Lauren document our wedding was the smartest decision we could have made, aside from getting married of course. Every single moment was beautifully captured, which was so important since we got married during the pandemic. We were able to share with family and friends who were not able to make it, just how truly perfect our wedding really was. The day I could never forget is one I can always remember thanks to Lauren. Too bad I likely won’t ever get married again otherwise I absolutely would give her my return business 100 out of 5 stars. Having Lauren document our wedding was the smartest decision we could have made, aside from getting married of course."
