Lauren Valvasori Photography

Lauren recently did a new addition photography session with us. I can't say enough wonderful things about Lauren. She's professional, has incredible communication skills and is genuinely such a kind person. The pictures turned out stunning and during the entire session she made us all feel extremely comfortable. She captured the love in our family through each photo. The photos were candid and in the moment -not posed and structured, it was effortless. Lauren is so much fun to work with and she truly captures the moment.

We are beyond appreciative and grateful for having Lauren be such a huge part of capturing our wedding story! Lauren has shown us nothing but kindness, professionalism, and true artistry both for our engagement and wedding sessions. We are completely blown away from the quality of her photos, often bringing a happy tear to our eyes (&family) for how beautiful and meaningful her work truly is. We loved how seamless and organized Lauren was throughout meeting, planning, and the day-of events - despite all of the restrictions and challenges throughout the pandemic. We really appreciate how personal she made our experiences, taking time to understand who we are through questionnaires, ensuring our expectations were met, and making our sessions enjoyable with many laughs! We wholeheartedly recommend Lauren for any photography event needs and will certainly look forward to working with her again in the future!- Julie & Joel

From the first minute chatting with Lauren my husband and I both knew we had found our wedding photographer. Lauren was so personable and reassuring. My husband and I both were not particularly comfortable being in front of a camera until we had our experience with Lauren. Our engagement session was an evening we both thoroughly enjoyed. Lauren was absolutely fantastic every step of the way while planning our wedding. She offered vendor suggestions, helped with timeline issues, location/timing concerns etc. She was so much more than just our photographer! The day of our wedding Lauren was our captain she does such a great job getting people where they need to be and keeping us on track for time and of course our photos! OMG we are absolutely THRILLED by all of our photos. In addition to your traditional shot list Lauren went above and beyond in every way. My guests commented on how fantastic she was all evening, taking couples and group shots of our family and friends and capturing the best moments when you don't even realize someone is taking a photo. Lauren sent us a sneak peak album just a few days after our wedding and we were blown away! Our full album was sent to us quickly and so nicely organized and named by each part of the day (I LOVED this-it makes finding certain photos so easy!) I cannot speak more highly of Lauren as a professional she was was everything we wanted and SO much more!

Lauren was recommended by a fellow vendor in the photography/videography industry during our search for a wedding photographer, and we are SO glad we followed up on the recommendation! Lauren has the best energy and it truly felt like hanging out with a friend from the moment we met. She made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process of planning, back and forth emails, our engagement session, and then ultimately, our wedding day. As a bride, I so appreciated the little things that demonstrated Lauren's experience with weddings. From fixing my dress, to carrying my bouquet, to rallying up our large wedding party, she went above and beyond to make the day so much less stressful for me (and not to mention making sure my husband's hair was ALWAYS in place lol). When we received our photo gallery, we were stunned at how beautifully she captured our day. Lauren is truly talented! A special shout out to our second photographer, Tiffany, who also meshed in with our entire wedding day crew so perfectly! Thank you so much for such an amazing experience!

Working with Lauren for our engagement photos shoot and wedding was an absolute DREAM! We knew as soon as we met her that we wanted her to capture our wedding day. She is so kind and is always one step ahead, but is definitely open to special requests. She put my husband and I so at ease, I’ve never seen pictures of us that look this good! I will definitely be working with Lauren again in the future, 10/10 would recommend.

Lauren is not only an extremely talented photographer and artist, but a kind and genuine person, who cares wholeheartedly about her clients and work. We had the privilege of working with her for our engagement shoot, and on our wedding day. Lauren made us feel comfortable during the wedding planning process, and in front of the camera. Her expertise and experience shone on our wedding day as she helped us to keep the day moving without feeling rushed or missing any special moments. We cannot say enough about Lauren, and cannot wait to work more with her in the future!

My husband and I truly can't say enough positive things about Lauren. After our first zoom consult with Lauren way back when, we instantly knew we wanted her as our wedding photographer. Lauren is so positive, energetic and easy to talk to. She makes you feel so comfortable in front of the lens (even for those camera shy people) and one thing we especially love about her is that she really tries to get to know her clients. We were so thrilled with how our engagement shoot and wedding pictures turned out - she is SO incredibly talented! On top of all of this, Lauren is professional, accommodating and always quick to respond to emails. Stop your wedding photographer search, she's the one!

Lauren is an absolute dream to work with! We did both our engagement shoot and wedding with her, and we could not be happier with how everything went. You absolutely cannot go wrong with hiring Lauren for ANY event, and we will definitely be using her services in the future!First, Lauren is so professional and very knowledgeable about photography. She is a truly wonderful person and it always felt like she really cared about us and giving us the best possible experience every step of the way. She had a great process of gathering information from us ahead of time to make sure that she went into our shoots completely prepared and with a good understanding of specific things we wanted. That was so appreciated and really helped to make sure we didn't need to think too much about the logistics of the pictures in the midst of wedding chaos. More than anything, I love that Lauren puts a big emphasis on capturing real moments instead of staging pictures. She gives direction in the simplest, most natural ways, and the environment she creates is so relaxed and easy that it doesn't even feel like you're on camera!For our engagement shoot, we wanted something in the winter and Lauren was more than happy to make that happen. She even scouted out a few locations for us when we weren't sure exactly where we wanted to have it, which was definitely over and above what we had expected from her! The photos turned out incredible (I attached one from this shoot) and just what we were looking for in a winter engagement shoot.For our wedding, Lauren was very helpful in creating a photography agenda so that we went into the day knowing exactly when all our shoots (bridal party/family/bride&groom) would be happening. She was happy to work with us to tweak things as necessary to make sure that the day was going to go how we wanted. The day itself went very smoothly and Lauren was great at being on top of our timing to make sure we weren't rushing. Even when we had some family arrive late to the family portraits, Lauren was flexible and able to work around the unexpected change in timing. Lauren was also great at handling all the detailed shots (wedding dress, rings, venue/decor, cake, etc.) without me even knowing or having to ask about it. I only saw these shots when she sent the gallery and was so happy she captured them! On that note, all the photos in our gallery were incredible, it was so hard to choose just one to include on our thank you cards, and I know I'm going to have such a hard time picking the ones to put in an album! Lauren captured our aesthetic so perfectly, it was like the vision I had in my mind went straight to her camera. Our first kiss shot was especially perfect, it was exactly what I wanted from our forest wedding ceremony.We will cherish these photos forever, they embody so beautifully the happy memories we have of our special day. Thank you, Lauren, for all your tireless work to make our engagement and wedding the best it could be!

My husband and I always say Lauren was the rock of our wedding. She’s so organized that it made us feel more organized during the chaos of wedding planning. Her constant positivity was always so appreciated and every photo she took of us is absolutely stunning. 10/10!!!!

We would give 6/5 if it was an option. From start to finish, Lauren has been fantastic to work with. She's thorough, professional, talented, highly organized, AND just an amazing person overall. We never had to worry or stress about anything to do with the photography - we could relax knowing Lauren would do an amazing job, communicate at every step along the way, and take care of every little detail.Here are some of the many highlights from our experience with Lauren:- First Meeting - it was obvious that no one be as thorough and impressive as Lauren. We knew right away she was the photographer for us!- Engagement Shoot - she made the session really fun by incorporating little games for us to play. It really brought out natural, authentic photos of us as a couple.- Turnaround Time - we had sneak peaks within a few days of our wedding and her turnaround time was always faster than we expected- Tech - the systems she used for both browsing photos and collating photos for our photobook were super easy to useWe recommend her to anyone that will listen and would definitely use her for future life events.
