Heather Lauren Photography

ny more. I would recommend Heather to anyone and everyone!

when it came down to quickly getting my family photos in. She was able to capture beautiful photos just as the sun was setting and i absolutely LOVED them! I initially found out about Heather through a friend who referred her and i just loved the way she edited photos in a natural way. She definitely delivered and you could tell that she knows how to do her job well. Overall, I would recommend her to anyone and would use her again for other occasions.

sunset wedding, but she also got to know everyone in the wedding party to make sure everyone was comfortable with her. The pictures turned out amazing. I could not be more pleased. I have referred her to several of my friends and given the pictures they saw and her personality they all hired her. I highly recommend her.

a ton of fun. My wedding photos were literally perfect, I had so many people ask about my photographer 🙂😍👍🏻!! Thank you SO much Heather!!

e that moment come to life. She knows exactly when to look a certain direction, give a specific look, act natural and let her lead you. She's always so bubbly and happy, especially when she's laughing, it's so contagious!! She's won best Photographer of Sarasota FL 2 years in a row, featured everywhere and across the globe, that's amazing! Not only the title but you can automatically see why she's the best the moment you see your sneak peak pic thru the lense! I hands down pick Heather Lauren Photography time and time again!!!

ession with Heather and I was absolutely amazing at how she captured such raw photos. It never felt staged. And I love the fact she did not over edit them. I prefer my photos to be as natural as possible. Her play on lighting is amazing too. We will defiantly be having our family photos taken this year with her.

on photos were lost and that the sd card was corrupt. It took over two and a half months to acknowledge this by Heather Lauren Photography. Imagine this is you, you have no photos of your first dance. No photos of your father/daughter dance, or bridal party speeches, or the prayer your father in law spoke. You have no photos of the cake cutting (that cake you loved) or the flower toss your cousin won. And the worst, you have no photos of your guests and family, some from St. Nazaire, France who flew across the world to be with you. To date, I have received $0 in compensation from Heather, or the respect or dignity of a simple phone call/sincere apology. Upon receiving the news via email, I asked who the manufacturer was (I was going to do EVERYTHING I could to receive those photos). There are highly qualified data retrieval companies who specialize in corrupt SD cards, of course with a fee. I finally asked if at all possible to receive the card, I was willing to pay for this. My questions went unanswered, the photographer, Heather, offered us $300 of compensation for a $2,000 package, for which we received exactly 3 hours of this 6 hour package. No money ever came. Communications ceased when we asked to send off the SD card, for which she insisted she sent off to the manufacturer at no avail. We waited until July to receive notice, or compensation. In July we sent a demand letter, asking for half the compensation of the package with proof- any type of evidence that the SD card was corrupt and this was not due to negligence. We would be happy with that, we understand life is not perfect and if in fact this was due to manufacturer error there would be some kind of documentation from that manufacturer that she said she reached out to. The letter went unanswered. We filed in Small Claims Court. She showed up and we mediated. We even offered to pay half the court costs to get this nightmare to end. At court she said the manufacturer had “gone out of business.” What a coincidence. She agreed to pay half the cost of the package by January 1st. She did not pay. I filed more paperwork and a judgment was issued against her for the full amount $2,281. You can find this judgment on the Pinellas County Court House Records Search. The sad part is if she would have just been honest, and professional, and honored a refund, I would not have had to spend hours filing in court, writing letters, and taking the time out on my Sunday to write this review. A review for which I held, to give her every opportunity to fix, until now. Now, imagine this was you. The feeling you get when your heart drops the moment you hear your wedding photos are gone. The confusion and disrespect felt when notified via email months later, offered a laughable compensation, and then ignored. Gaining the courage to walk into court, having to fight for what should have been an obvious resolution. You don’t have to feel this way, all of this could be prevented just by calling someone else.
