Meet Lauren

“There is truly no one better at capturing your day than Lauren. Her work is beautiful, moving, and truly one of a kind. I didn't think I wanted or needed a video of our wedding day, but I'm so glad I was wrong. Lauren created a piece of visual art that we will have forever. There is truly no one like her, she is the best of the best.”
—Alexa & Hunter
“Not only is she so incredibly talented, but she was such a fun addition to have at our wedding. She has such a fun and bubbly personality and she wasn’t afraid to jump right in and capture the special moments of our day. Her turnaround was super quick and we couldn’t be happier with how our videos turned out. Our family and friends are in awe of them! Hiring a good videographer is an investment and she was certainly worth every penny.”
—Joanna & Ted
“As you’ll see from her work, she creates very diverse videos for the folks she works with. She has an amazing ability to pick up on your vibe as a couple almost instantly. She’s also terrific at matching energy. This is the best money we spent on our wedding.”
—Hay & Anna
“Lauren captures REAL moments. Not posed, not forced, but those moments that are so full of love and life that you wish you could bottle them up and hold them forever.”
—Sarah & Max
“Lauren is ridiculously talented, a ton of fun to work with, and can take a kernel of your vision and literally make your entire life flash before your eyes.”
—Sarah & Leon
“How often do you look at videos or photos of yourself and feel really accurately portrayed, and proud to be seen? Lauren gave us that and we are so grateful. We can’t recommend Lauren enough.”
—Daphne & Drew
“I wanted someone who not only had talent, but who had that ‘thing.’ That special sauce of vision, creativity, humour, and excellent vibes. In a wedding-obsessed culture, I wanted someone who saw the humanity in it all—the mess, the chaos, the humour, the real-lifeness. Lauren is the whole package.”
—Paisley & Caitlin
“No challenge was too great for her, and she effortlessly captured the essence of our multi-day wedding. Despite the long hours, Lauren consistently brought the best energy, helping us stay fully present in each moment.”
