Lauren was definitely more amazing than words can describe! She's easy to get along with (my husband is more shy and I'm pretty loud so she was able to handle us both😂), she is quick at responding, she is flexible EVEN with a pandemic, and she takes jaw dropping photos!! I cannot recommend her enough!

I’ve done 2 events with her and her pictures are beautiful, clear, great quality, she captures awesome details, highly recommend!!!

Wow, Lauren and her team are so much fun to work with! She made us feel so comfortable on the day of our wedding, providing both silly and helpful cues to help us relax and be ourselves in our photos. Lauren’s background in dance is super helpful in recognizing simple posture changes that make a big difference. And her enthusiasm and passion make the photo-taking process so fun – she made me feel like a star! Lauren went above and beyond in connecting us to helpful resources as we changed our plans due to COVID, and she was super flexible in accommodating our new plans when we had to change venues to a backyard setting. And the photos we got are just stunning!

Worth every penny! Lauren and her team are absolutely fantastic! It was freezing cold and snowing but she still made me have a genuine smile on my face. Highly recommend!

Lauren and her colleague Brianna were incredible! On the wedding day, they took charge to make sure we stayed on schedule and got all the photos we wanted but were still flexible and open to any additional pictures and changes. They directed and posed us (which we really needed) to make sure we could get the best possible photos. They truly captured our day better than I could've ever imaged. Working with Lauren leading up to the wedding was also a breeze! She was always very responsive and answered any questions I had. She made the entire process super simple, and provided additional guides and materials beforehand to make sure I was prepared. I 100% recommend Lauren Baker Photography.

OK I'm going to try to keep this short, because I could seriously write an entire book about how amazing Lauren is. Lets just start at the beginning though. My husband and I had been engaged for a few months when we started out photographer search. To be honest (especially at that time), a photographer wasn't high on our list for importance or something we allotted a large portion of our budget to. I know some people LOVE pictures, but us as a couple we were just not super passionate about it. We were referred to Lauren by another photographer (I should have known right then and there that Lauren would be prefect - Lauren's competitor referred her, because she is THAT good), so we had a FaceTime chat to all get to know each other. First thought before going into that meeting - awkward! Never have I FaceTimed with a stranger. Well I was 100000% wrong. Lauren made the initial meeting seamless and so comfortable. It really was like talking to a good friend. My husband and I were laughing ... Read morethroughout the entire thing, and I even kicked him under the table to let him know that we are hiring Lauren right then and there. Another HUGE plus about Lauren was that she was super flexible about our wants and needs. Like I said before, neither of us were huge into photography, so we were iffy about how much we wanted to spend. Lauren customized an entire package for us that it met exactly what we were looking for! I also want to add, she was happy to do it. It's one thing to bend to your customers, but it's another to be so willing, excited, and happy to do it. Also, look no further if you need other referrals or recommendations either...Lauren has referrals for any vendor that you could ever need. Fast forward to the engagement session....we wouldn't change a thing about those pictures. It amazes me how comfortable Lauren made us feel and how quickly she was able to get those shots (it was a MN winter and we were outdoors - so quick is nice in this case)! We were blown away when we saw our pictures! As Lauren told us, the engagement session is kind of like practice for the big day, and that practice went perfectly. Truly after that engagement session, we started changing out minds about photography (in a positive way) - Lauren has a gift :) The wedding day was perfect. One of the reasons the wedding day was so great was because Lauren helped us by putting together a timeline for the entire day/evening. Sometimes I felt bad because I felt like Lauren was our wedding planner and not the photographer - but it's what she does and she does it fantastically, all with energy and a smile on her face. She really is the whole package, folks. Anyways, the wedding day was perfect and almost every one of our family and wedding party members have commented on how much they loved Lauren; that says a lot when some of these people were only around her for a few moments. HUGE STATEMENT: Lauren got our pictures back to us in about 1.5 weeks! We were completely blown away that we got them back so quickly, but even more blown away with how amazing they all turned out. There's not one (in the rough 1,000) that I would delete, and this is coming from a person who does not like being in pictures. I cannot say this enough....but hire Lauren Baker Photography. You will not be disappointed. Besides being so energetic, hilarious, friendly, and passionate, she has a real gift and is able to capture the perfect shots. She goes well beyond the duties of a typical photographer, and she really focuses on YOU as a couple. Plus, she likes dogs ;)

Lauren and her assistant photographer Brianna did an amazing job at keep us organized and captured amazing photos. Lauren was so easy to work with And We stayed on schedule to get the shots we wanted

Before our wedding I had dreams of puppies in place of flowers, PB&J buffets, and floor becoming lava. I’m so thankful that my dreams did NOT all come true for our big day! But the dreams of a sweet and talented photographer absolutely did come true. Lauren Baker Photography was incredible and I lost count partway through the night of guests coming up to us commenting on how great she was. Lauren knew when she could step back and when it was time to take charge and move things along. She was a source of laughter and comfort at just the right moments. She captured our love so beautifully. Lauren was flexible and relatable and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We love looking back at our wedding pictures!

Lauren is hands.down.AMAZING. We went to two wedding fairs, and talked with many photographers. I knew I wanted someone who had good examples of indoor and outdoor work (our venue (for ceremony and reception) was inside and we took wedding party and family photos outside). I also knew I wanted to work with someone directly, vs a larger company who I would not meet the photographer beforehand. Finally, we had a budget we wanted to work with, and while many photographers had big packages with fancy books, prints, and engagement shoots, we knew what we needed and what mattered most to us. Lauren fit all the above criteria perfectly, allowing us to customize what we needed for our wedding photography, met with us several times before the wedding, and most importantly, made us both feel relaxed from the moment we met her. Our pictures turned out so beautifully, and truly captured the joy, the feel, and the details that went in to our day. I’ve been to and in several weddings over the last... Read more few years, and I have to say, Lauren blew all the other photographers out of the water. She dressed and presented herself professionally, led the day in appropriate ways at appropriate times, and I even found my DJ and hair and makeup artist through her!

Lauren was an absolute DREAM to work with! My husband was not at all excited to do, let alone pay someone to take, any sort of photos, but after meeting with Lauren, we knew she was the one we wanted to photograph our wedding. Her artistic style of photography and easy going personality is exactly what we were looking for! We started out with the engagement session, where Lauren made us laugh, have fun and forget we were even in front of a camera. The wedding day was even better! She was able to get a great mix of adorable candid and naturally posed shots. We had so much fun! She went above and beyond to make sure we got the best photos possible. The turn around time for our photos was so fast! We hadn’t even returned from our honeymoon and our wedding photos were ready! I recommend Lauren to anyone and everyone I can, especially those who feel they are awkward in front of a camera. Thank you for capturing the best day of our lives! I can’t wait to work with you down the ... Read moreroad *cough, family photos, cough* :)

Look no further! Lauren is simply the best! My wedding was a brides worst nightmare- flooding, spring blizzards and a venue change 1 week before the wedding day! Despite all the chaos, Lauren rolled with the punches and went ABOVE and BEYOND to make sure everything was perfect for the big day. She checked in often and asked all the right questions. My husband and I couldn’t be happier with our photos and look forward to working with Lauren again in the future. We highly recommend!!

Lauren is an amazing photographer! She is so easy to work with and made everyone feel comfortable. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!

Lauren is an absolute delight to work with as well as incredibly talented. Her professionalism, punctuality, enthusiasm, direction and aesthetic brought so much to the day and the finished photos. I could not have been happier and would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.
