.about me.
hi! i'm lauren. i'm a 24-year old people-photographer living in brooklyn, new york.
i write lots of letters but have trouble actually sending
them. i don't like to wear
shoes. my hair used to be far too long. i am 6'1". i saw
amsterdam this summer.
i've kept a journal since 1993 (and have yet to destroy the
 
most incriminating
volumes). i eat cheez-its every day. i danced in the street when 
obama won the
election.  i shoot lots of fun weddings and blog about them here!

The Glen Cove Mansion

Courtney and Brent were SO MUCH FUN to shoot. Their excitement was written over their faces and they were not afraid to let it show. :)

Ahhhhhh. So nice to wake up the morning of Joanna and Jim's wedding and just hop in a cab over to the hotel. Traveling is awesome... but keeping it local has its perks.

So gorgeous... Everyone kept saying Joanna looked like Grace Kelly. I tend to agree!

Joanna and Jim took off on a DEAD run toward the church after we got done shooting. I have never before seen anyone haul through rainy midtown NYC in heels like that! I couldn't keep up.

Only one degree of separation between me and Tim Gunn now... :) Erica stars tonight in the season finale. Here's what the Project Runway blog said about it:

"Tim's client for this special episode is Erica, a bride-to-be with a serious confidence problem. Her tall stature leaves her self-conscious with every outfit she tries on. Can Tim help her restore her faith in herself in time to step into the spotlight on her wedding day?"

I'm definitely posting weddings out of order, but I'm so behind I'm just going to choose at random... although blogging this wedding was not a random choice at all -- Erica had told me on the wedding day that she was going to be on Bravo's Tim Gunn's Guide to Style (sweet! I love Tim Gunn!), and I just found out that it's premiering this Thursday night (thanks, Gillian). Yay!

Erica's a veterinarian, so it was only natural that she took a little extra care to make sure Fred looked great for the wedding, too. :)

Mmm, 2 hours to shoot in the Meatpacking District... Music to my ears (eyes?)

I was so excited to fly to Charleston to photograph Angela and Thomas's wedding at the William Aiken House in September. It's such a compliment for a couple to like my work enough to fly me to another state! Thanks, guys. :)

The minute Emily and I drove into "old-town" from the airport, I saw so many places I wanted to shoot. I felt like a kid being released into a backyard full of easter eggs.  Angela and Thomas were so laid-back; the vibe of the day couldn't have been better.

Thomas is a musician, so at the reception he and Angela gave the band a break for a while and sang a few songs. :)








































Congrats, Angela and Thomas. :) Thanks for inviting me to be a part of your day.




....And here are some photos of Emily and I goofing off in our hotel room before the wedding. That's a lamp shade on my head.

Hi Lauren! Nice pics! incriminating diary entries, huh? Hmmm. I don't know about dancing in the streets for Obama but I do like your new blog! Good luck with it. Phil

As we've all come to know none else than beauty and craft from your work, I'm so glad to say: the new blog is its mirror. It's outstanding.

PS I'm so glad I was there with you, dancing to the incredible humanism Obama's victory represents. It was our victory too. I think the world felt the same that night.
