Our Offerings —
I think that love is in the details. The simple, seemingly small moments are the ones you'll keep coming back to.
The Experience
Lauren Louise Collective offers our couples an all-inclusive luxury experience from start to finish. Whether you’ve hired me to photograph your proposal, engagement or wedding - or all three - my team and I are dedicated to bringing your vision to life so that you and your guests can be fully present with one another.
We create space between you and the details so that you can stay present on your wedding day.
We’re able to do this by creating relationships with our couples that result in mutual trust. The more we know who you are and your reason for joining together in marriage, the better we’re able to create wedding images that looks and feels like you.
No one else has a story like yours and it is our job to tell that story in the most authentic & genuine way possible. The moments that we record for you become a part of your family’s legacy.

While we pride ourselves in our recognition in publications like Martha Stewart and BRIDES, the end goal for The Collective is always centered around the couple and their unique vision and relationship. Some tend to get hung up on praise from big publications and lose sight of what’s really important. We are focused on creating a high-end, luxury photography experience for the couple and their guests. Anything else is merely the cherry on top.
-
Typically, we are booked anywhere between ten and fourteen months in advance. It depends on the season, of course.
-
We strongly believe that hiring wedding vendors that know and love working with another makes a difference in the overall feeling and style of the day. We have a recommended vendor list that focuses on creating a collaborative experience and strives for authenticity in everything we do in order for your true personalities to be shared and displayed throughout your day. This list will be shared upon booking.
