We booked Lauren after she photographed a friend's wedding. We were so impressed with the quality of her photos that we reached out to her right away to see if she was available for our small destination wedding, and we're so lucky she was.
Lauren was the best vendor we worked with, especially in terms of her organization, proactivity and professionalism. She was incredible the day of the wedding. She ended up handling a lot of the run-of-day and timing leading up to the ceremony, which is more than I expected from her, and integrated so well with everyone that she felt like a guest; this allowed her to take really natural candids of everyone during the day which was very was important to us.
Even though we expected her photos to be stunning, we were absolutely blown away. We really couldn't have asked for more; she exceeded our expectations in every single way. We'll recommend her to everyone we know who needs a photographer for an event and we hope to get the opportunity to work with her again. We really can't say enough about her; she's incredible.

Lauren recently did our wedding at OE and boy did she deliver. We received excellent service and photos. She captured special moments and the essence of us and our venue. She is easy to work with, calm and organized. She did not add chaos to my day, I literally forgot everything and lost my rings but she maneuvered with creativity and still captured beautifully our setup photos. We will always use her as our photographer! We are still obsessed over our photos and I am by no means a photo person, I run from cameras because I hate unflattering photos but she made us look regal, classy and glamorous!
"We had a late evening wedding with low lighting and only a talented photographer can capture brown skin and make us look amazing."

Lauren is such a sweet, talented, and friendly photographer with a beautiful eye for composition, subject, and location. We knew from the first video chat we had that we would enjoy working with her. She was timely, super professional, fun, and really just a joy to work with. During our ceremony she blended right in without being distracting. Our family commented that they thought she was just our friend taking photos. She is truly that awesome, yet still so so professional! During our couples shoot, she had prompts for us to follow for taking specific shots based off of our and her inspiration for the shoot, and also cultivated a space where we felt comfortable enough to try whatever or do whatever we wanted, whether it was planned or spur of the moment.
"She made us feel so comfortable and natural and really made the whole process just fun."

As a photographer myself, I have high standards for photography and I can tell you that Lauren blew away my expectations. She is incredibly talented and passionate. She truly encapsulated the love between my husband and I. Our engagement photos turned out amazing as well as the wedding photos. Our family members said the pictures looked like they belonged in a wedding magazine! We had never done a photo session before and felt a little awkward at first, but she quickly put us at ease. Her prompts felt natural and fun to do. We found the photo session to be a very romantic date and had a blast doing them. Lauren was kind, professional and prompt. I enjoyed having her at my wedding and I would hire her again in the future. I highly recommend her!
"Her work is artistic, beautiful, and completely captures the emotion of the moment."

Choosing a wedding photographer is incredibly important and we absolutely loved Lauren! She was by far the best wedding vendor we worked with! She wanted to know about us, our families, and our day in a completely judgement-free way. She made it feel as though she was genuinely invested in our wedding day throughout the planning process, the day of, and even afterwards. Our engagement shoot was fun and relaxed, and the photos turned out GORGEOUS! While other vendors took weeks to respond during our wedding planning process, communication was always quick and clear with Lauren. The day of the wedding she arrived early, even when other vendors were behind schedule due to a crash on the bridge out to Clearwater. She was incredibly professional and calm throughout the wedding day, even as she navigated challenges such as language barriers with some of our relatives and things running behind schedule. She ensured we got every shot that we requested and our list was long! Before she left for the night, she checked in to make sure we were happy with all that she got. She has an eye for backdrops, lighting, and candid moments. LaScho Studios was truly worth every penny! We will cherish our photos from Lauren for the rest of our lives! We appreciate you Lauren!
"From the very beginning, she had a warm presence, calming energy, and took a personal approach to everything she did.
