    Don't hesitate to hire Lauren for your wedding!

    Lauren has become the official family photographer for us when we go to Tahoe every [other] year. She has photographed my family several times in Tahoe and hiring her for my wedding was a no brainer! She has always delivered photos that show how happy and fun we are and the wedding photos were no exception! We got our previews the night of the wedding, and we just got our full gallery back and I teared up looking at all of them! I was so thrilled to see the day laid out like that! I love the photos so much! Whether it's family pictures in Tahoe or a wedding in Virginia, Lauren will exceed your hopes for the day!

    Lauren is the best!

    Lauren is not just an amazing photographer but also a very cool and fun person. She is a true photojournalist and does amazing things with light — our photos are stunning! And she’s fun! Our guests begged her to stay and hang out after she was done. AND she is professional, kind, and communicates clearly and directly. I could go on and on. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!

    Just Hire Her and You Wont Regret It

    In every way, shape, and form, Lauren is the MVP of wedding vendors. I first contacted her in 2019, and between now and then, I went through 2 postponements, an elopement, and a wedding! She has been 💯 on communication, responsiveness, and how knowledgeable she is about the Tahoe area. When COVID hit, she graciously offered to photograph our elopement, and on our wedding day, she went beyond and above. Beautiful photos, punctual, will help bring you down to earth when you get a fuzzy wedding brain and answered a billion questions I had. Her photography style will tell the story of your day without the stuffy photo list of shots. She's not afraid to put you or anyone...

    Would highly recommend Lauren!

    I hired Lauren for my elopement that was put together fairly last minute in Tahoe, which I'd never been to. I honestly don't think I could have put in less effort planning this elopement and Lauren was a big part of why it turned out to be such a magical day. She not only gave us incredible photos that we'll cherish for a lifetime, but between her and our captain/officiant (we got married on a boat) they chose perfect places for our ceremony, photos, and great spots for a romantic boat tour afterwards. She was also such a joy to have as our one and only guest.

    Having your wedding ceremony on a small boat with two...

She is a great photographer with a good eye, also pretty darn cool! 😎 📸❤

    We laughed the whole time

    We had originally book Lauren to photograph our court house wedding in July, but we ended up moving the date up to May. I thought we were going to have to cancel with Lauren, but she was still available and was willing to travel out to NH instead. Working with Lauren both before and during was super easy. She kept us laughing the whole time and didn't make us feel self conscious or silly. She listened to our ideas and continually asked if there was anything in particular that we wanted to be sure she had photographed. While we haven't gotten our shots in yet, the sneak peek that she sent looks amazing. We highly recommend Lauren to photograph your wedding.

    Our Wedding Photographer Kicks Ass!

    MY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER KICKS ASS! (is that okay to say?)

    This review is long but worth it.

    When I first met Lauren, we connected immediately. I knew she was my girl.
    My husband and I have never been all that comfortable about posing for photos. It’s just awkward. We needed someone we felt comfortable around.

    Fast forward to our wedding day. She was there on time, a big silly grin on her face and ready to go. Just seeing her, both calmed my nerves and lifted my spirits all at the same time. She had never been to our venue before (we flew her in the night before) and I imposed on her to help me...

    Great pictures, so fun!

    Lauren is an insanely hard worker. Her response time to your questions and emails is amazing. We planned a destination wedding, and it was so helpful to have her answer our questions so quickly.

    We are so happy with our photos and cannot say enough about her fun attitude. She made the day less stressful because she was having fun and kept it light. She was incredibly organized and got our family portraits done in no time. All of our family was complimentary about her as well.

    We would highly recommend Lauren!

    BEST photographer EVER

    I cannot sing enough praise for Lauren Lindley. Even beyond her beautiful photography and skill for capturing emotions and memories, her attitude, helpfulness, efficiency, and energy are unmatched. She goes above and beyond to make sure she gets the perfect shot. She even managed to wrangle over 50 family members within 20 minutes to get all our formal shots done in record speed. Lauren won't just be your photographer, but she'll also end up being your friend.

    Authentic, beautiful photos!

    Even though I've technically never met Lauren in person, I can say with confidence that she is a fantastic person and artist. Anyone who works with her is incredibly lucky! I did extensive research on wedding photographers in the Tahoe area, since photos are extremely important to me. I wanted my wedding photos to be a beautiful, honest representation of the day and an authentic representation of my husband and I, our family, and friends. Her work stood out- she has a great eye for beautiful candid moments, and it was clear from her wedding galleries that she is an incredible photojournalist and her work will give you all the feels.

    Lauren is super responsive and answered all...

    Amazing & Enjoyable

    Really glad I finally have time to share about our great experience with Lauren. She made our experience way more fun than we expected. She's super funny and is a true professional but also fun to be around.
    She was also really accommodating with our numerous emails and in dealing with our anxiety regarding the pandemic. I really appreciated her clear communication since day-one and would definitely recommend her for your photography needs. Her portfolio speaks for itself. In addition, we were really impressed with the turnaround time, especially given the Holidays. The pictures themselves are lovely and I can't wait to share our favorites with loved ones. Thank you again Lauren!

    Waiting for a reason to work with Lauren?

    We found the photographer who we will use forever. Originally, Lauren volunteered with a community project I was affiliated with. Kudos in my book for being community oriented, always giving back. Then, a year later I won a raffle for a small shoot and got to experience her. Work with her, see, hire...? However you put it I think we're, like, friends now?
    Portraits, community service, engagement shoot, cocktail hour meet up, a pandemic, organizing better than any other vendor we used, dancing, family session at the wedding, a photo booth-- Lauren is it.

    Outstanding every step of the way

    I could not be happier with the pictures Lauren captured from our wedding! She has an eye for special moments and was so skilled at preserving the emotion of our day. Even my dad who was slightly ambivalent about the pricing at first stated, "the pictures were worth the extra money". Coming from a large family with 28 first cousins, he believes that our wedding had the best pictures out of any other family wedding we've attended (across the country). All our guests were also super impressed at how organized Lauren was and appreciated her directions to get the best angles and lighting. To sum it all up, she's efficient, has a great eye, and was a pleasure all around to work with.

    She’s the Bees Knees

    Lauren was probably my favorite vendor from our wedding. Not only is she super freakin talented, but she has the best personality. From the beginning, I told Lauren about possible family drama and crap I didn’t want to deal with and she was actually excited to take care of that! Lauren has the perfect no bull crap attitude and I loved it. We had beautiful but super fast wedding party/family photos- just how I like it!! Because of her efficiency we had more time to party versus standing there saying “cheese!” Jk. Lauren is way too Effin cool to have her clients say cheese. More like, “Say, Wine!!” Also, she creates a super easy website with all your photos...

    Fantastic!!

    I absolutely LOVED working with Lauren. She was extremely helpful throughout the planning process. She had a list of recommended vendors that I found super helpful and I actually used quite a few. She was very responsive and timely via email. She truly made everything super easy!

    Flash forward to our wedding day and she was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!! She bounded into the condo like she had known me for years!! She was really fun and personable!! My mom and family instantly loved her!!! She didn't hesitate when we wanted to do some extra photos or add ins and all of our pictures turned out AMAZING !!! She was super flexible with the photo booth too while I...

    Absolute perfection!

    Wedding planning was especially stressful for us as we had (at last) minute scrapped our plans of a large traditional wedding and chose to relocate to a smaller one in South Lake Tahoe. It was long and tedious sorting through all the vendors and ever more difficult since we do not live near Tahoe so all communication was via phone calls or email. I stumbled upon Lauren’s work by chance and honestly, it was the best thing that could’ve happened. Not only was she prompt and quick to respond to my emails but she really took the time to help me with any questions or concerns I might have had. There wasn’t a feeling of a canned response or...

    LAUREN IS AMAZING!!!! She did the photos for our wedding and capture our day better than words can explain. She is fun, energetic, and even got in a river to get the perfect angle and lighting for us. The pictures came out gorgeous. She even made this amazing slideshow that summed up our day for us. Everyone who has seen the photos can't stop complimenting how amazing of a job she did. TRUST ME YOU WANT HER.

    Lauren was hands down our best wedding investment. SHE IS A BOSS LADY. We chose a flexible package with a second-shooter--Lauren totally accommodated and gave prime insight and suggestions. We maintained great communication before the big day, and I always felt like I was in great hands. From the time she arrived to after the reception, she was on her A-game. She saved the day countless times--from working on a timeline that was wayyyy behind to last-minute helping me into my dress and calming me after a meltdown, to expertly organizing and handling my family during formal photos (they're not the best listeners), and quickly getting the groom and I to a secret spot for magical pics before the...

    Lauren was recommended to me by my friend Britt who got married right after TJ and I got engaged. I contacted her for pricing, and within hours she contacted me back with details, and options for our budget. She has great options for brides on a budget, and her payment plan set up is super easy to use, Day of the wedding she was fun to hang with while I was getting ready with my girls, and popped in to chill with the guys too. I could not be happier with the photos she sent TJ and I. Captured every moment perfectly, and it brings me such joy to have her artwork in my home for years to come. Thank you Lauren.

    Lauren was simply amazing! We are an easy going/simple couple and wanted our wedding and photography to reflect that. Lauren was flexible, very responsive, and fun! Without needing much information from us, Lauren showed up, and brought with her TONS of energy. She wasn't afraid to get right in there and get some great shots during the ceremony. We both have big families, and Lauren was so organized, getting all of our formals done in a matter of minutes so our guests could go on to enjoy the reception. She even laid down in the sand to get the perfect photos of us walking on the beach. We found Lauren to be very reasonably priced, and we got more...

    I was given a piece of advice early in our wedding planning that stuck with me – find a good photographer. It might have taken hours to find her, but I’m so glad that we took the time to find Lauren. Her elopement package for our small wedding in South Lake Tahoe was exactly what we needed, and the pictures make it look like we spent more than we did. She was able to capture everything from family portraits, intimate moments, and even got some random, impromptu moments we can share with family members. She turned our pictures around in less time than she originally thought, which was perfectly timed about a week after we returned from our honeymoon....

    I totally love Lauren’s work! We had her documenting our small elopement wedding at Lake Tahoe and the pictures turned out to be wonderful! She was so easy to work with and we had so much fun with her. She responded super fast to our emails and it only took her a little over a week to get our pictures ready! Highly recommended!!

    Lauren was just what we needed to get the best pictures for our wedding day...It rained with thunder and lightening for hours before our 5pm outdoor ceremony. Lauren was a champ and worked out alternate "first look" spots as well as offered to reshoot on another day in case we didn't get what we wanted on the actual wedding day. We ended up with an epic sunset and all of our pictures came out better than I ever could have imagined!!! We will cherish them forever, thank you Lauren.

    WE LOVE LAUREN!
    I was lucky enough to come across Lauren's website when searching for the perfect photographer for our wedding in Kirkwood, CA this past August. Finding a photographer wasn't easy for me - package pricing was all over the place, I couldn't decide if I wanted 1 or 2 photogs, we weren't doing an engagement shoot so I needed someone that was comfortable with us right off the bat, and I wanted someone that knew Kirkwood. Luckily, I stumbled across Lauren! Not only does she love Kirkwood as much as we do, but she had done weddings there before - she knew the mountain and knew where to shoot without hesitation. She had a plan, and that...

    We LOVE Lauren!!! I contacted her after we booked our venue and new instantly she was the photographer for us. We were wanting to do portraits after our wedding either around or in the lake and Lauren was totally down to take us on an adventure! She also came to Dallas to do our engagement photos a few months before the wedding, which was great because we got to hang out and get to know her before the wedding. Even if you aren’t a huge fan of having your picture taken Lauren will make you feel comfortable. If you want a photographer who is fun, efficient, and takes stunning photos this is your girl. She captured so many great...
