    Bonnie is incredible! Her joyous energy is exactly what you want & need on your wedding day!!

    We had searched for and met with many photographers for our wedding day. None were as friendly, lively, and talented as Bonnie! We wanted a photographer whose style portrayed a marked contrast from the overly filtered photos we continually saw in other photographer's work. After meeting Bonnie we knew that she was that perfect person who could capture our day's moments as they were, so when we looked back at the photos, years from now, we could recall them the same. We were immediately drawn to her personality, furthered pulled in when we saw her photography was so natural, fun and engaging! We had a multicultural wedding, so we were hoping for a photographer that could capture in their...

    Lauren Slusher Photography creates images that gets published!

    We used Lauren Slusher as our wedding photographer and she was fantastic. She had great professional energy throughout the entire process and was awesome in making sure our photos turned out amazing.

    Had our wedding in late June 2019 and had our proofs by early Aug.
    Lauren provided us an easy-to-use website that contained all of our photos and even hosted the website for a year. Little did we know that in 2020, we'd be asked to share our wedding story/photos through Lauren Slusher's network. It was great sharing and reliving this wonderful time through these timeless photos.

    True artists!

    We feel so fortunate to have chosen to work with Bonnie and Lauren for our wedding—it was easily one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process! They are brilliant artists and truly passionate and fun people, and that comes across so clearly in their approach to photography. We knew we wanted photographers who would be able to capture all the emotional power, joy, and wonder of our wedding day, pull for genuine and naturalistic emotions from us (admittedly camera-shy people by nature) and our guests, and create a lasting memory of the day that we and our loved ones can enjoy for many years to come. Their philosophy of capturing “moments over details” fit so...

    Worth Every Penny

    Hiring Bonnie was the BEST decision we made for our September wedding. During our first phone call (before we even hired B&L), Bonnie created a timeline, knew sunset times for the perfect lighting, and gave us the best donut suggestions. She is the perfect combination of professionalism and FUN. She made the planning process a breeze, and was easy to reach via email. Bonnie sent an preview gallery a week or so after our wedding (a wonderful surprise), and our final photos on the early end of the expected timeline!

    The photos are absolutely stunning. It’s a beautiful blend of classic wedding shots and these incredible candid moments. I have never seen wedding photos like this before....

    The BEST decision you can make

    The photos speak for themselves. But what you won't see is how kind, calming, and professional Bonnie & Lauren are. We worked with Bonnie specifically for our wedding and I cannot express how amazing it was to know she was with us, capturing the most special weekend of our lives. Bonnie keeps calm through all of the chaos and will make you feel so at ease. We are so incredibly grateful to have beautiful photos that capture all of the special people in our lives. B&L are a 10 out of 10. Best decision you can make.

    Beautiful Wedding Photos!

    My wife and I had a great experience working with Bonnie and Lauren for our wedding in Austin this spring. The photos look are stunning, and we already have a couple dozen framed and hanging in our house. Highly recommended!

    A must-have for your wedding!!

    Having our wedding photography done by Bonnie was one of the best choices we made and we would choose her again and again, every time. It was important to me to choose very carefully when hiring a photographer because their work is how you will look back on your day. I spoke with lots of different vendors, and Bonnie & Lauren were the best when it came down to quality & price, hands down. Bonnie was so easy to get in touch with prior to the big day and responsive to my emails. On the day of, her and Sarah were punctual, calm, and knew exactly what to do in order to make magic happen. They captured all of...

    Expertise, Style, and Grace

    These are absolutely beautiful pictures! Thank you so much for capturing the day with such style, clarity, mood, your great lens, and for being so kind. We have enjoyed looking at these so much, and laughing our heads off at everyone's cry face in the bridal party. HAHA! You not only captured the classic moments that we wanted from a wedding photographer, but also some really great candid photos, and I love the mix of color and black and white. They really tell the story of our day. You were so very lovely to work with, so thank you again!!!! We will treasure these for as long as we live!!!!!

    A wonderful experience

    Bonnie is truly a rock star. She knows exactly how to keep things on track. She also knows the perfect moments to be invisible. I could not have been happier with the service she provided. We have already received our photos and they are beautiful.

    An Absolutely Sublime Experience

    Where to begin when it comes to the magnificent Lauren Slusher? Her skills and her professionalism are unparalleled, especially when it comes to an industry as stressful and emotionally charged as wedding photography. Our COVID wedding could have very easily been yet another difficult sequence of events in 2020, and instead, in no small part thanks to Lauren, it was the most magical day I have ever experienced. And experience is the perfect vernacular for what Lauren does; she captures a shared experience and makes you feel like you have known her forever while doing it. Lauren truly creates a comfortable and positive space for you and your loved ones to shine in her work. Lauren is your number one choice when it comes to special event photography, she made our day one to remember!

    The real deal-- true professional with top-notch skills

    Wow! Lauren's talent and professionalism were everything we could have hoped for from a wedding photographer. From the first time we met, she gave us helpful, warm guidance and didn't skip a beat communicating throughout the whole process. The results were ultra-high-quality, intimate, fun, gorgeous wedding photos that we LOVE and wonderful memories of having her involved. Also, many of comments from family and friends who adore the photos! Highly recommend Lauren!

    Early December Wedding at Barr Mansion

    Can't say enough wonderful things about Bonnie & Lauren Photography! We worked with Lauren on our big day and our engagement shoot. The perfect combination of calm, warmth, professionalism, and talent. Lauren was incredibly easy to work with and had a special way of being omnipresent throughout our day in the most discreet way possible. Another huge selling point is how quick the photos came back. Lauren delivers ~100 shots a week after the wedding which is more than enough to tide you over until the large batch comes several weeks later. I never felt like I was waiting around to pictures. If you value promptness, organization, and artistic/candid/amazing shots- highly recommend Bonnie & Lauren.

    Great photographers!

    Bonnie and Lauren are great photographers. I work as a cinematographer professionally, so I was very picky with who I hired to photograph my wedding. I was looking for a specific style, someone who can capture the candid moments in a unique and artful way. I did not want the typical run of the mill wedding photos. I first met them at my friend's wedding where I was the best man. I could see that they were very easy and fun to work with and I just loved the final product of photos. There was a great sense of composition, shallow depth of field and they captured all the moments that you would expect and not expect. Fast forward...

    Superlative photographers - thoughtful, kind, professional

    Highly, highly recommend Lauren. Our wedding photos are crisp, face details are great, and she delivered a very complete set - we like *all* the photos, and there are many to pick from to print of the two of us, our families, and the guests. It's like having an elegant family member who understands how to frame all the important moments. I really appreciated having unobtrusive photographers who managed to be everywhere and were delightful to have as part of the event.

    So nice we booked them twice! We were looking for a photographer for our small New York City Hall event and a large Houston wedding. We were so lucky to find Bonnie and Lauren. We loved their portfolio and photography style, and were so happy they were available for both events. Bonnie was accommodating in planning process (we were all living in separate locations) and responsive to emails. On the wedding day, Bonnie and Lauren made us feel so comfortable and natural. They were fun to work with, and gave us a chance to show off our silly side! We recently received our full collection and the pictures ended up being absolutely phenomenal. We can’t recommend B&L enough! Thank you!

    We first met Bonnie at an open house at Loot Vintage Rentals in Austin, TX. She had samples of her work on display, and as we flipped through them we were impressed! The photos are of excellent quality and have a intimate, personal feel to them. They are some of the purest, most natural wedding photos and with a great mix of classic and unique composition. After reviewing our options we decided to book Bonnie for our wedding. One of the deciding factors was that as part of the package we would be receiving custom magazines of the photos which could be given as gifts to our parents. We found these magazines to be a great alternative to a...

    Bonnie and Lauren did a phenomenal job photographing our wedding at Prospect House in Dripping Springs, Texas this January. The final photos were incredible, and we've received rave reviews on them. They did an especially fantastic job at capturing candid emotion on our faces as well as our guests. The planning, day of, and post-event communication has been easy as well. Most of all though, we're thrilled with the quality of the work, which is why we booked them in the first place. Highly recommended.

    We cannot rave about Bonnie & Lauren enough! Their photography is absolutely flawless and they tell the story of the day, capturing so much detail that you can relive it over and over. One thing everyone told me when planning our wedding was to not skimp on photography - and that was the best advice! We had Bonnie shoot our engagements and got to know each other, and we fell in love with both her and the photos! And we were blown away even further by our wedding photography. We lucked out by having both Bonnie and Lauren photographing the entire day, and not only did they do gorgeous work, but they made sure everyone had a blast while...

    I honestly do not normally give 5 stars to people but Bonnie and Lauren are truly exceptional. Everyone at the wedding were asking for their contact info and commenting on how they have never seen such hard working photographers ever. I also especially like the respect these two girls have on their assistant photographer. Most photographers I chatted with never praised their assistant's work in fear of stealing business, but not from Bonnie and Lauren.

    I love each and every single picture. Stress free engagement and the best decision I made! Thank you lovely ladies.

    This review is LONG overdue. Bonnie and Lauren photographed my May wedding... there are not enough words in this box to explain how FANTASTIC these ladies are at their profession. B&L are true professionals; they bring an air of sophistication and make even the camera shy feel comfortable in front of their lense.

    Let me preface this by saying my Husband and I had chosen a different photographer (that will rename nameless) and he was NOT good. So much so that we broke our contract with him. Needless to say, I was a stressed bride with no photographer for my big day.

    Luckily, my fabulous wedding planner (Joan Glenn; 6 Degrees of Celebration) connected me...

    Bonnie and Lauren shot our wedding in Washington DC and we feel so lucky that they were a part of our day. We both felt so comfortable with them from the get-go and at no point did we feel as though they were intruding into our space. They moved efficiently through family shots (which involved 6 little kids!) but nothing felt rushed. The variety of posed/portrait shots that they captured was excellent and we were very impressed with the action shots from the party. One of our favorite aspects was the magazine that we got at the end, which feels both classic and modern and totally approachable (not a $$$ album that will sit on a shelf because people...

    I spent hours searching for my perfect photographer; I knew I wanted someone with a unique yet timeless style. A lot of wedding photography right now is very light and white heavy, and its beautiful, but I wanted something with a slightly different look. I love that Bonnie & Lauren aren't afraid of shadows and true blacks to give their images grit and dimension. It's really refreshing when hunting through scores of photographers whose portfolios all kind of blend together. Bonnie & Lauren really stand out with their classic, beautiful style.

    When it came to communication, Bonnie was excellent. From our initial phone call, I felt that she understood what I was looking for. She made me feel...

    We couldn't have been happier with Bonnie and Lauren. They went above and beyond making our engagement photos easy (both of us were a little nervous having never done this before), and capturing the joy of our wedding weekend. They were both extremely easy to work with and so accommodating. Not only that, but their photos captured the laid back, elegant vibe that we were going for. They shot in very difficult circumstances: the church had strict rules about where photographers were allowed, and on our first-look photos were outside (in the wind and rain) on the grounds of the estate where the rehearsal dinner was held. Yet those photos are not only my favorite from the 3-day shoot,...

    Lauren photographed our wedding in September in Vermont and was an absolute pleasure to work with! She comes without her own agenda and really picks up on beautiful, candid moments as a result. This all came through in her initial wedding picture previews. She was also very flexible - we were running a bit late for our rehearsal dinner pictures and she handled that very professionally. She even stayed a bit later to make up for that. In addition to being very talented and professional, she is so passionate about her work. The fun she was having taking pictures during all our wedding events contributed to a great wedding atmosphere. She fit right into our special event!

    My husband and I cried when we first saw the previews. Bonnie & Lauren don't just take pictures. They capture the most pure, amazing moments. Looking at our photo gallery allows us to relive the wedding day. Bonnie & Lauren are so creative and have such an eye for snapping all the great little moments happening around them. They work so well as a team covering all angles and making sure no aspect of the wedding is missed.

    Bonnie & Lauren brought so much fun and energy to our event. We loved having them there, and working with them was the best experience.
