Lauren Garbutt Photography

Lauren did an amazing job capturing the day exactly how it was. She is so fun to be around and really put everyone at ease! We loved our photos and she provided us with so many of them its too hard to pick a favourite. Highly recommend!!

Huzzah!Lauren was everything we could have asked for and more (and then she exceeded those expectations by 10 stars).She made a couple of sweatpants wearing lovers feel comfortable in formal wear. She took the time to get to know us and make our engagement and wedding photos into a collection inspired by us - rather than just a group of stock photos.She had us laughing and her overall positive demeanour had us feeling like we have been lifelong friends!We are just hoping she will be available to photograph our 'future' children('s) wedding(s), our retirement parties, our milestone birthday parties, and our funerals. She was that good!

Lauren is amazing!!!Not only did she create stunning and artistic compositions, but she also made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. She has a fantastic eye for unique angles and lighting, resulting in truly breathtaking photos that exceeded our expectations.She is also a good and kind person, which makes the experience even better!

I cannot say enough about how amazing Lauren was as our wedding photographer. Her photos are excellent and she has such a nice personality that during our photoshoots my husband and I felt so comfortable and at ease. She brought out our personalities and I am so thankful to have had her expertise during my special day.

We loved working with Lauren! She took anniversary photos for us, and we had so much fun hanging out with her with our pups. She took beautiful photos and made us feel very at ease. Communication with Lauren was fantastic. Would highly recommend Lauren to anyone who is looking for a fun, creative and professional photographer.

Lauren is so very talented, creative, and an absolute sweetheart! We have done two creative/just-for-fun sessions together and both times she absolutely nailed it!! She goes above and beyond to ensure you’re having fun, feel comfortable and confident, and always cooks up great ideas. Lauren is the best and I’ll shout it from the rooftops!

Working with Lauren is fantastic! She is funny, creative, communicative, and so easy to work with. She is up for any idea and executes beyond your expectations. My husband is a photographer, so we knew finding one for our wedding was going to be tough. As soon as he saw Lauren's portfolio, he knew right away that she was the one. We've recommended Lauren numerous times to families and couples looking for photography and will definitely use her again for any future shoots.

Lauren recently took photos of my toddler, my husband and I. She was incredible from start to finish. She was patient, great at providing direction and also went with the flow - since our toddler had his own plans most of the time.The shoot was a mix of family portrait, maternity and candid shots of us together. Every single photo in our album is breathtaking, smile-inducing and heartwarming. Lauren captured some truly wonderful moments between our little family.I would recommend Lauren to anyone looking for family or group photos. You are guaranteed to walk away from your shoot smiling and with photos you can cherish.

Lauren did an amazing job with both our engagement and wedding photos! She was awesome to be around, and made our day even more fun and special than it already was. She was so kind and sweet and made us both feel comfortable in front of the camera and was able to capture us perfectly. We couldn’t be happier with how our photos turned out and would absolutely recommend her to anyone! Thank you Lauren!!!

From the moment we first connected, my partner and I knew that we were in the best hands possible. Lauren absolutely exceeded our expectations in every single way. The engagement shoot was just an absolutely amazing precursor as to what would come for our wedding... Lauren's ability to capture the most intimate and delicate moments in such a natural way is what originally drew us to Lauren's work, and she did just that. Starting at the beginning of the day, we loved how Lauren used the bones and architecture of the house to create such beautiful photo-ops. And, they were not photo-ops, but rather Lauren and Courtney working so naturally to incorporate the moodiness of the house into the photos. From the tender moments of my bridesmaids helping me button up my dress, to the more milestone moments, like the first look pics, Lauren demonstrated her talent and warmth and it was truly felt by all. Our entire wedding party couldn't stop talking about how cool Lauren and Courtney were and how comfortable they made everyone felt.When we got to Ravine, it was so special that Lauren brought my creative, floral photo-op fantasy to life by taking the pics with the bouquets around my face. The wedding vibe was definitely midsummer and that picture sealed the deal!Sebastian, myself, the entire wedding party, our families and all of our guests could not have given more glowing reviews for Lauren's service and artistry. It made us feel so comforted to see Lauren photographing our special moments.The natural way that Lauren captures moments is incredible and was felt by all of us from before the ceremony, from Lauren and Courtney helping me adjust my dress and veil countless times (I truly apologize for that), to her amazing direction at the sunset pictures, when the angles and lighting she was capturing were so masterful, tasteful and beautiful!
