Offerings & Services
With over 15 years of experience photographing weddings, I approach each celebration with a calm, film-shaped eye and a deep respect for the rhythm of the day.
My work balances refinement and realness — the composed portrait in beautiful light and the unplanned moment that no one saw coming. I guide when needed, step back when it matters, and make space for you to be fully present. The result is imagery that feels intentional, honest, and enduring.
I offer fine art wedding photography for couples in Charleston and destination locations worldwide, with a focus on editorial imagery, emotional storytelling, and a seamless, elevated experience.
My approach extends beyond simply taking photographs. I’m drawn to the moments that give a celebration its meaning — the energy, the connection, and the in-between moments that often matter most. Through a balance of intention and intuition, I document weddings in a way that feels honest, artful, and deeply personal, creating visual narratives that preserve the joy, love, and milestones of life’s most meaningful days.

Experience
The
an intentional approach to capturing your wedding day
Inquiry & The First Conversation
Connection before commitment.
You reach out. I respond personally. If I’m available, we’ll set up a call so I can understand your plans — your location, your timeline, whether you’re working with a planner, and how you want the day to feel.
If we’re aligned, I build your coverage around your actual celebration — not a preset package. I draft a timeline so you can see how long things realistically take. Film requires light. Your day needs breathing room. I guide you there.
I only take a limited number of weddings each year so I can be fully invested in the ones I say yes to.
Planning with Intention
Light, flow, and thoughtful design.
If you’re working with a planner, I collaborate closely — reviewing mood boards, ceremony orientation, portrait timing, and floor plans to protect the best light.
If you’re planning independently, we’ll create structure together.
The weddings I thrive in are the ones that are thoughtfully designed and well paced. Where there’s space in the timeline instead of chaos.
That’s when the magic happens.
On Your Wedding Day
Calm. Focused. Emotionally invested.
I’m thinking ahead constantly — watching the clock, watching the light, protecting your portraits.
I’ll fix your dress. Pin a boutonnière. Move an exit sign. Smooth flyaways. Fix closed eyes. I notice everything.
I guide when needed, but I don’t over-pose. The couples I love working with are genuinely connected — they laugh, they dance, they hold each other close.
All collections include two photographers. Eight hours and above include dedicated film assistant support so nothing slows down when I’m shooting medium format.
My job is to protect the energy of your day while quietly elevating every frame.
Film
Dimensional. Timeless. Intentional.
I photograph primarily on medium format and 35mm film because of the way it renders light. The softness. The depth. The way skin feels luminous instead of sharp.
Digital is layered in thoughtfully for security and continuity throughout the day. It ensures nothing is missed.
But the aesthetic of your gallery is shaped by film. The texture. The atmosphere. The emotional weight.
Black and white is chosen deliberately, often for the quieter moments that deserve restraint and longevity.
Film is the foundation. Digital is the safeguard.
Delivery & Heirlooms
Curated with care. Designed to endure.
Within the first week, you will receive a thoughtfully selected collection of sneak peeks so you can revisit the celebration while it is still fresh. Your complete gallery includes a minimum of 75 meticulously refined images per hour, each one edited with precision and restraint so the focus remains on the moment.
Your final gallery is delivered within 12 to 14 weeks. Every image is handled with intention, resulting in a cohesive body of work that feels elevated, seamless, and timeless.
Your album is personally designed from start to finish. The pacing, the balance, and the space between images are all considered carefully. It is not simply documentation. It is the first heirloom of your marriage.
A collection that grows more meaningful as the years unfold.

Working with Lauren was a phenomenal experience. As a bride, I felt heard, comfortable, and light with every interaction. She delivered photographs that captured our day, our guests, and our joy to a tee.
— ElIZABETH & FABIAN
I believe your wedding should feel like you — unforced, beautiful, and fully present.
I photograph with film because it slows everything down. It asks for intention. It rewards honesty.
If you’re planning something meaningful and thoughtfully designed, I would love to hear about it.
