Lauren Nievod Photography

session to our wedding day, Lauren made my husband and I feel very comfortable in front of the camera and really made the experience a fun and memorable time that we will never forget! Lauren certainly knows how to work her magic with her camera! The photos that she produces are absolutely breathtaking! You will not be disappointed if you book Lauren as your wedding photographer! Plus, you get a bonus to work with her amazing husband Howard! He made my wedding day stress free for me and was such an asset to my vendor squad! Thank you again Lauren for making my wedding dreams come true! ❤️

tic, listened to ideas we had, and was a total dream to have. Howard, Lauren’s husband, was SO helpful the entire time and made everything run even more smoothly (from holding my bouquet to handing me a drink at the perfect moment!!). Jennifer, our second photographer through Lauren, was just as wonderful. Fun & focused. I’d pick Lauren as a photographer one million times over. You cannot go wrong with her- your memories are in your photographers hands & Lauren captured every memory and then some for us!!

en, we instantly clicked. What an added bonus, to not only have an excellent photographer to capture our engagement session & wedding day, but to also find someone so genuine, passionate about what she does & SOOO much fun to work with! We LOVED our engagement pictures (taken a year out from our wedding) so we were super confident our wedding photos would be what we’d always envisioned! We recently received our wedding photos and WOWWWWWW they are beyond AMAZING! She captured everything—planned and/or candid— every last one perfectly tells the story of that day and captures all the emotions of our relationship and those between our loved ones. Our families and friends truly enjoyed working with her too! We continue to receive SO many compliments about our photographs and love sharing them with everyone! Her husband, Howard assists her with anything you could possibly imagine might arise on a busy wedding day—he brought so much peace of mind and laughter that day as well (I know my husband still talks about how great he was). They’re a great team and made that day run seamlessly. Lauren makes you feel like you’re her only client(s) and top priority! I truly feel like we found an absolute gem in Lauren among SO many wedding photographers out there—there are a lot of choices to make when planning a wedding and so much hustle and bustle; it’s easy to get caught up quick. She was our favorite decision and reminded us what that day was truly about—enjoying that day throughly together as a couple and focusing on all the love & support surrounding us that day! Lauren & Howard, thank YOU for everything! <3

and talented - she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and listened to our vision while offering helpful suggestions. While working with her, she not only became one of our favorite vendors but also felt like a great friend. We got married a week ago and we already received our sneak peek photos - she captured our love so beautifully and we could not be happier with the results. Her and her husband will make your day feel even more special and the love they share just adds to the magic of your wedding day! Thank you Lauren!

ou're looking for a talented photographer, look no further! She's the best!!!

ion to go with her for the wedding. We have used her for other photo sessions since then and her work continues to be amazing.

incredibly talented and our pictures turned out absolutely perfect. The hardest part of the process has been choosing from all of the many pictures we love to include in our album. I would recommend Lauren to the closest family and friends, in fact my brother also used Lauren for his wedding. Lauren Nievod is simply the best!

ment pictures? She did not disappoint! She was even so kind to review my (extensive) Pinterest board of ideas so we could capture my perfect engagement pictures. We asked her to shoot at a location she wasn't familiar with and we walked around and talked about which spots would be best for my vision. She was also very patient with us as we were determined to have our dog in our pictures. Our pictures came out just as I had imagined they would and we have gotten so many compliments from friends and family. I could not recommend Lauren enough, her love of love and photography really shows in her work. She truly wants these pictures to be something you will treasure forever.

r who we wanted to work with and the quality we were expecting. Lauren delivered on every single level, above and beyond. We met her and her husband for our engagement shoot, and they immediately made us feel at ease. Our pictures came out amazing! Our wedding day was seamless and the pictures again came out wonderful. She captured every moment perfectly. Lauren was great to work with--professional, punctual, and a ton of fun! We would HIGHLY recommend her to any of our friends and family!

agement photos in order to gain more confidence in front of the camera, allowing for the wedding day to be more seamless. We are so glad for this recommendation because not only did this make us feel more comfortable for our wedding day, we were able to see how creative and efficient Lauren is during the photo process. Lauren was constantly in contact and would answer any and all questions in a timely manner. She always encouraged us to provide her with our wants and needs while providing her recommendations from her professional experience which in turn gave us the ultimate experience. We could not be happier with how our photos came out! Friends and family are amazed and constantly compliment the photos! Lauren and her husband, Howard were absolutely amazing and it felt as if we were hanging out with good friends on such an important day! Lauren was by far our easiest and best decision in our wedding planning process.

st decision we made in preparation for our big day, and it was also one of the firsts. She has always been flexible with us, starting with having a phone interview while we were driving 6 hours to pick up our puppy, to rescheduling and then rolling with a rainy day for our engagement photos a state away, to our wedding day when I would change my mind 5 different times about what shots I wanted. She has been there since we started our wedding planning journey so by the time our day rolled around it was like having a friend follow you around with a camera instead of someone who is paid to like you and tell you you’re a beautiful bride. She is not afraid to lay on floors, stand on tables or run into the middle of the street to get the perfect shot. She and Howard were able to do the impossible and wrangle our huge wedding party and families with short attention spans to get the photos done as quickly as possible so we could try and stay on schedule. Her portfolio first stood out while we were reviewing for her fire detail shots, and she does not disappoint, several of our photos have been featured on our other vendors and our venue’s social media accounts. A little love for Howard – He was an absolute life saver several times that day, including doing “girly” tasks for me, even though I am pretty sure he had no idea what he was doing (ie putting the sole protectors on my shoes). He would run any errand asked of him, kept the wedding party hydrated in the heat and made sure I didn’t have to carry anything. Having him as a ‘personal assistant’ for the day we phenomenal and he is such a joy to have around along with Lauren. One of the most amazing standouts of our final package was I could not tell which photos were taken by the second shooter other than I knew Lauren was with me for certain moments. She chooses her team so seamlessly that you would never know looking at your album that she wasn’t in multiple places at once. Honestly my biggest regret is not having them stay longer for the night. If you are debating between multiple photographers of a similar style, I can tell you that you will not be disappointed in your decision to hire Lauren Nievod Photography.

for our special day. She was extremely professional and we were comfortable with her from the first moment meeting her! I would recommend Lauren to anyone who is looking for top notch photos and a top notch experience!!

our picture taken. I loved our photos so much, that I even had Lauren do bridal portraits for me, and of course, they were beautiful. There is no other photographer that I would recommend for such an important day.

s and months following up. She even managed to coax my 4 lb. dog into wearing my engagement ring around her foot...impressive! :)

hotographer if you want beautiful photos to last a lifetime.

day, as well as all the fun, laughs, and smiles. Lauren is not only an amazing photographer, but a wonderful person and a joy to work with! Our friends and families raved about how amazing she was and how relaxed she made everyone feel! And Howard was such a thoughtful and helpful assistant - he was always one step ahead! We feel so lucky to have found Lauren and so privileged that she agreed to capture our day! We hope she will be able to photograph many more milestones in our lives!

new i wanted to work with her since she is the sweetest person and understood what I was looking for. I also LOVE my engagement and wedding pictures! I have shared them with friends and family and have received so many compliments on how great they have turned out and that Lauren is amazing! Her husband helped out on our wedding day and he was such a pleasure to work with as well. They are a great team. I highly recommend Lauren to capture your special day!! I definitely want to work with her again :)

ng my dress, to the family shots, the ceremony and all the in betweens. Her photos are not at all “staged” and formal looking but rather relaxed, and natural looking capturing the best, most real emotions of the day. I wanted something that showed our emotions all throughout the day and that’s exactly what we got. Her and her husband worked so great together and really made you feel comfortable and relaxed. She made sure to get our family photos done quickly so we could attend the cocktail hour which was important to my husband and I. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone and would use her again for family photos if were ever back in the area!! Best money spent that day as we have these photos forever!!

as anyone can be. She has a great vision for photos, is open to your ideas, and with your permission, she will adjust your ideas, instruct you and make them about 250% better! This is exactly what we wanted as we had general ideas of what we wanted, but nothing specific. Lauren was amazingly kind, not afraid to command the crowd during family photos, and most importantly her photos were simply incredible. Thank you Lauren! I will gladly recommend you to any of my friends who are looking for a photographer!

ront of the camera. In addition to all of that though, Lauren has a real eye for lighting and details and our pictures came out AMAZING!! Everything looks so beautiful and she really knows what she's doing. Would recommend her times a thousand!!

ad our engagement shoot, and Lauren was so great with making us feel comfortable in front of the camera! Our wedding photos blew us away. We decided on one photographer for the whole day , and let me tell you , Lauren went above and beyond! She captured every special moment and every special detail from every angle. Even our friends, family, and do workers are gushing over our photos. Looking at the pictures from our wedding brings back all of the emotions from that day - it's like we are reliving our favorite day! Lauren is amazing at what she does - one of our best wedding decisions was hiring Lauren!

elves in the wedding photos I have only received the BEST feedback! Our venue was in my parents back yard in tents that we rented, which definitely looked nice in person, but in the photos you would think we had our wedding in the fanciest Venue money can buy. Lauren managed to capture everything so beautifully and in such a way that everything looks light and airy. It ended up absolutely pouring on the big day and Lauren was crouching out in the rain and running around in the mud with us to capture the best angles. I would 100% recommend her to anyone getting married. I am shocked that we were able to snag her within the 3 months before our wedding that we did! One of my favorite parts of our journey with Lauren was the engagement photo process so we had a chance to meet before the wedding! She and her Husband were a pleasure to work with. We had such a fun time with the both of them and we will always treasure our photos!

her awesome husband Howard ( talk about dream team) to photograph our wedding day! It was great to work with Lauren ahead of the wedding for our engagement pictures, she made us feel so comfortable and we loved how our pictures turned out! She does a great job of capturing the true moment in time, with beautiful attention to detail. We highly recommend anyone looking for an amazing photographer, who is truly passionate about her work, her clients, and making sure every moment is captured. I have been lucky enough to work with Lauren and Howard through other friends wedding, and I'm always happy when I get to see these two! I highly recommend Lauren!

s remember our day forever. I found Lauren here on the Knot's website, and I'm so glad she was available for our wedding day. Her attention to detail, her ease to work with, and her professionalism really shine through her work. She made my husband and me feel so comfortable behind the camera, which is also very evident in the pictures. And I don't think I'm being biased when I say that our pictures are the best I've seen out of anyone that I know--they really look like they could be in a magazine! I rarely like pictures of myself, but I found it to be so difficult when choosing just one to be featured on our Christmas card--I loved them all! I would recommend Lauren in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a professional, talented, and fun photographer. I can't wait to use her again in the future for any photography needs we might have. Thanks again, Lauren! We love you!

zing, I can't stop showing them off. She kept the group relaxed and focused, which was hard to do with a group that was not paying attention and all over the place. She got all the group shots we asked for and still left time for the two of us to relax before the reception. Lauren and her husband make an amazing team and they go above and beyond what we expected from our wedding photographers. She Helped keep my husband and I relaxed so our photos are breathtaking. I would recommend Lauren to anyone getting married, and hope to be able to use her again in the future.

accommodating and really worked with me to give me a package within my budget and convey the style of photography I wanted for my wedding. Her husband and her are truly such sweet people and their passion for the business and for each other radiate and is so contagious! They really made our photography experience easy and helped us stick to a prompt schedule on the wedding day. Lauren truly works with you to be as involved or discreet as you would like during the day, and I can not say enough good things about how thorough she was with every detail and how thankful I am that I chose her to capture our most memorable day! Now that I have my full gallery, I could not be happier - the pictures are absolutely gorgeous!

at all. Her style is chic perfection. She has an amazing eye and even better personality. We are currently in the process of choosing photos for our albums and the hardest part is picking our favorites bc there are so many!

res were beyond perfect and we will cherish them forever and ever!

husband on the wedding day. They gave the shoot 110% and did it with a smile. Many friends and family have complimented the photographs. She made a beautiful preview video for us to share. Can't say enough about Lauren Nievod.

very shot turned out beautiful so it was really hard to pick our favorites! I would highly recommend her services to any couple looking for pictures and memories that capture every detail and step of the way!

more occasions than I could count throughout the whole process. Lauren was organized and extremely helpful, not just with the photography portion but with the entire wedding planning process itself. We had our engagement photos done with Lauren in early July 2016, where we had the opportunity to witness her talent first hand. She made my fiancé feel comfortable in front of the camera, and this was a definite plus prior to the wedding. I would 100% recommend doing both engagement and wedding pictures with Lauren. It is well worth the investment. Our photos turned out absolutely gorgeous! It’s also important to mention that her whole team was fantastic! They all went out of their way to be helpful on multiple occasions that I was able to witness, and I am sure behind the scenes they did even more. On the day of our wedding Lauren and her team seemed to be in all places at once, while hardly being seen. She provided some beautiful sneak peek photos the day after the wedding which were fantastic, and also got the wedding day pictures to us quickly (what bride isn’t waiting on pins and needles to see their photos!!), and they were beyond stunning. This was the BEST investment we made in our wedding day, and from start to finish she exceeded our expectations. I could not recommend Lauren more highly.

y husband and I had a unique wedding- where we rented cabins around a lake near the Blue Ridge Mountains for 20 guests. We spent the week enjoying time together, then were married on Wednesday at an overlook on the property. Later we went to a local restaurant for dinner as our reception, and a bonfire that night. Lauren was able to make such a basic and small wedding come to light in photos. She captured the breath taking views, special moments and the love that day. I am ever-so-grateful for her and her team for their help making our day feel so special.

many comments from friends and family on how they are some of the best wedding photos they've ever seen! Not only is she an extremely talented photographer, but also a dream to work with. A fun, professional, and a genuinely nice person, I would absolutely recommend Lauren’s services to anyone!

ldn't believe how well Lauren was able to capture our personalities and make our photos look so natural. We couldn't get enough of the photos she took and have used them for our wedding website and save-the-dates and have gotten so many compliments from friends and family. Her incredible personality and amazing photography skills are what made us so relaxed during the shoot and we couldn't help but laugh and smile the whole time! She is so, so dedicated and even took time to edit our photos ahead of time (because we were running a little behind on our save-the-dates) while she was away at a conference. Lauren is overall the best in terms of the quality of her photos, her incredible personality, and her passion and commitment to providing you with the best photos to capture the special moments of your life. Thank you Lauren!!

h AMAZING engagement photos. We saw them edited and flawless in under a month, and a few weeks before that she gave us a little preview that loved ones (and us) went crazy over. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. For anything! She took great candids, Pinterest inspired pictures, and so much more. YES! YES! Yes! YES! Every time!

ason, because Lauren was the most amazing wedding photographer. She is one of the nicest and sweetest people ever and made us both so comfortable and at ease throughout the whole wedding day. More importantly, her photos of our wedding day were stunningly beautiful and truly captured every moment perfectly. The portraits that she did of my husband and me are so beautiful and not cheesy or staged looking at all (which I often think wedding portraits are). She even helped my cousin create a framed photo for us on burlap after the wedding-which turned out stunning! Overall, Lauren was amazing and we couldn't have asked for anything more!

t with pride and perfection!! She has a special presence that will make you feel like you have known her for years (which is very important when taking photos that have so much meaning to you. You want to feel comfortable). Her kind character, her creativity and her passion for photography will shine through her work. She is your girl!

to make sure your vision of your big day is captured exactly the way you pictured it. I love all my photos and I highly recommend Lauren Nievod Photography! :)
