Austin-based documentary editorial wedding photographer — mixing digital and film photography to tell your story with romanticism, connection, and empathy.

Lauren’s journey into photography began at 15, when she first picked up a camera and began documenting the world around her. To her, a camera was more than just a tool — it became an extension of who she was. She spent countless hours looking through the viewfinder, studying life through the lens, and developing a deep love for storytelling through images.

Though she started her career path in nursing and earned her license, photography was always her passion waiting to unfold. In 2016, she took her first step into wedding photography, and every year since, her passion for capturing love stories has only grown stronger.

A pivotal moment in Lauren’s career came when she was given the opportunity to work with Lovely Bride, photographing their gowns across the country. That experience sparked something within her — an undeniable desire to make photography her full-time focus. After a lot of hard work (and a little bit of luck), Lauren Nicole Photo became a full-time career, allowing her to document weddings and love stories both across the U.S. and internationally throughout Mexico and Europe. It’s been an incredible journey, and she’s so grateful to be able to share these beautiful moments with couples who trust her to capture their most meaningful memories.
