Incredible!

Lauren was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. She is so warm and friendly, but also unobtrusive - you don’t even realise she’s getting most of the shots and then you see your gallery and wow! Honestly the wedding pictures of our dreams and we’ll definitely be choosing her again for any future photo sessions! I also found her to be reasonably priced and flexible, which we really appreciated given the chaos of planning a somewhat last-minute wedding.

Stunning, unique, and emotive - we couldn't have asked for more.

Lauren somehow manages to capture not only the visual but the emotion behind it. We didn't want the typical awkwardly posed photos and we were not disappointed. Our wedding photos are a stunning blend of love, laughter, and beauty with a unique twist that is all Lauren - it takes a beautiful pic and turns it into an epic work of art. If you're looking for someone who will genuinely work with you to capture the essence of who you are as a couple, look no further. She could charge 10 times what she does and it would still be worth every penny.

Emma and Hayleys Wedding

Lauren was great with us right from the beginning she communicated well and was very personable and when we first met her in person she made us feel instantly at ease, with her down to earth, humble approach. Meeting Lauren before our wedding made the actual day feel alot more comfortable. Lauren chose us a really beautiful venue for pur pre wedding shoot, and she was able to capture the essence of us both and our little family by framing real moments not poses and this translated throughout our wedding day aswell.

On our wedding day Lauren was brilliant she was part of all our special moments but somehow blended into the background all whilst capturing our most important shots. We were delighted to get our photos through in around 2 weeks after our big day and couldn't be happier with them. Lauren is very talented and the style of her photography really tells a story and is very unique because its so symbolic and artistic! So much so that we will be booking Lauren again for future important occasions.

Thank you again Lauren we are truly grateful that we found you and that you were there with us on our big day, you were a real pleasure to work with.

Thank you Emma, Hayley and Bertie
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.

Hi, I’m Lauren, and photography has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. My love for it started with my great grandfather and grew into something I now live and breathe every day.

Creativity runs through everything I do, and photography is where it all comes together.

Away from the camera, life is full and joyful. I’m a home educating mother of 5 (yes, 5!). When I do get a moment to myself, you’ll usually find me with a strong coffee in hand, getting lost in a good book, singing along to a classical musical, or turning up the volume on some classic rock or metal (eclectic really is my middle name!).

For me, photography isn’t just about taking pictures, it’s part of my soul. It’s how I connect, tell stories, and capture the fleeting, beautiful moments that mean the world. It’s everything to me, and I love sharing that passion with every couple I work with.
