y to the day. She walked in the door with the best excited energy and its something I really needed in that moment! I couldn’t imagine having anyone else document such a important day in my life. I cannot say enough nice things about her, I am glad to have found her! She cares deeply about her clients and her work, and it shows. She takes her time to get to know you both and is a very calming yet super fun presence!! She takes her time and creates the most beautiful photographs we will treasure forever, and she makes anyone feel completely comfortable behind the camera. I will be recommending her to everyone!
We were blown away by Loren's photos from a close friend's wedding, and decided to reach out! From the jump, Lauren is incredibly kind and enthusiastic, eager to make your vision c...
ome true!! From our engagement session, we knew we made the best choice. She made the process of being photographed fun, and relaxing. Neither my husband nor I love taking pictures, but the session flew by and we had so much fun!! When we got our engagement photos, we were blown away. We are so excited to get our wedding day photos, we know they will be amazing! She posted a few images the day after the wedding, and people will not stop texting/calling saying how stunning they are. We are so grateful for her, and loved working with her!
From the moment I spoke with Loren De Marco, I knew she was the perfect choice to photograph our wedding day. Loren is incredibly sweet and personable, and she truly connected with...
my vision. Her warm and friendly nature made us feel so comfortable, and the results were beyond our expectations. Our pictures look like they belong in a magazine!
Loren ensured everything was seamless, from the timeline to meeting all of my photo requests. We received our photos so quickly, and I cried looking through them because they were all so beautiful. It's such a special experience to relive your wedding day through photographs, and Loren truly captured our love in the purest way.
Loren De Marco is incredibly talented, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who can bring their vision to life with such beauty and grace. She made our special day even more memorable, and we are forever grateful for her amazing work.
We had an AMAZING experience working with Loren DeMarco for our 5/7/23 wedding at the Pittsburgh Botanic Garden. She is truly wonder woman. She photographed our wedding while 8 mon...
ths pregnant and sent us our gallery DAYS after she gave birth (about 6 weeks after our wedding, which was also earlier than stated in the contract). She is so experienced and professional. Photography was one of our bigger ticket items for our wedding, and it was absolutely worth the investment! We had Loren and a second shooter - they were a dream team. There was nothing cookie cutter about our photos - they both used their creativity and experience, considering a variety of factors like the weather, lighting, landscape, our personalities, etc., to give us beautiful photos of OUR day. They captured everything I wanted and then some. They were so fun and friendly and made taking photos easy and a seamless part of our day. I am so happy we got to meet Loren. She would be a perfect addition to anyone's vendor team.
We were so, so lucky and fortunate to have found Loren. She is a consummate professional, a really great and kind and supportive person, she's creative and fun to work with, and sh...
e does the most *beautiful* work. She was well-prepared--she even had hairspray and fixed one of my curls that had come undone while I was getting ready!--and efficient, maximizing her time with us for portraits while still being playful and not feeling rushed, and working with our suggestions. It was an absolute pleasure working with her front start to finish, and we couldn't be more pleased with the end results. I can't recommend her highly enough for anyone looking for a wedding photographer in Pittsburgh. Thank you so much, Loren!
Loren shot our engagement photos and wedding photos. I wish there were more than 5 stars to give Loren. She is truly the most amazing and talented person. She was so easy to work w...
ith from the beginning. We were a tad worried about the budget and she worked with us and made it so easy and stress free. I can never say enough about Loren. She is so kind and she made us comfortable throughout the entire process. Our engagement photos were incredible and I knew that our wedding photos would be the same. She has such a vision, far beyond what I could have imagined. Loren has truly given us such special pictures to relive our day for years to come. Thank you Loren, for being incredible:)
Loren is the best and very talented! She was so helpful during the planning process and very quick with her email responses. On the day of our wedding, Loren made everyone feel com...

ographer AND a hypewoman! We were a little self-conscious at first, especially because we didn't have any experience with photography before, but Loren was so kind, welcoming, and professional, we were immediately at ease. She took AMAZING pictures! Loren was awesome to communicate with us before and after the shoot, and got us our photos really quickly. We enjoyed the experience and are so excited to have her take our wedding photos next!

nicest and most helpful and instantly made everyone feel comfortable. She helped with suggestions for places to take photos and also helped us to put together a timeline to make sure the day went smoothly. Loren was also quick to respond with any questions we had and put together a questionnaire to keep all of our wants and needs for the day organized. She perfectly captured the joy of our day and we are so happy to be able to relive our perfect day through her photos!

Loren is a must-have photographer for your wedding! She is professional, talented, and a blast to be around. As a queer couple, we also worry about the vendors that we select, and ...
Loren was the perfect choice. She was not only accepting but affirming. She ensured that all of the poses felt natural within our dynamic. We just shot our engagement photos this week and she more than accommodating when bad weather popped up. She went above and beyond for us. I can’t wait to see our photos and we have already booked for our wedding next year. She’s the best of the best!!
HIGHLY recommend using Loren. Not only is she friendly and easy to work with, but she is very knowledgeable and takes AMAZING photos! My husband and I aren't super comfortable in f...
ront of the camera, but she had us laughing and taking pics with ease in no time! We were so in love with our engagement pics (that she traveled all the way to Texas for!) My bridals were amazing. Our wedding photos were everything we wanted too! We loved her so much, we had her take our reception photos too! COVID bride here, and she was extremely flexible and worked with us during ALL of the changes (and there was a lot!). If you thinking about using her- DO IT! You won't regret it! We hope to use her for years to come.
To be honest, I really didn't think I cared too much about the photos when planning our wedding. They were an afterthought. But I couldn't be happier that our wedding planners rec...
ommended Loren as our photographer. Not only are her photos spectacular, she is the nicest and most fun photographer I have ever met. I am so glad she pushed us to take more photos and go out of our comfort zone. She knew we would want them! I can't wait to hire her for baby photos when the time comes!
Loren De Marco was easy to work with, skilled in her craft, and professional in all that she does. She took good care of us on our wedding day, and worked with us early on to make ...
sure we got the coverage and style we wanted for our big day. Fun to work with, and a 10/10 in our book. Thanks Lauren!
My fiancé hired Loren to (secretly) capture his proposal! She was very responsive and even worked with him to pick the perfect scenic location. As a Pittsburgh native, she knows al...
l the best spots!
After the proposal, we did a quick engagement photo shoot. Loren made us feel so comfortable, helped us with posing, all the works. Her turnaround time on the gallery was very quick and we loved every single photo!
We would definitely hire Loren to photograph our special occasions again in the future and highly recommend her to others looking for an engagement/wedding photographer!
Loren was our photographer in August and we could not be happier with our decision to have her capture our wedding day. It was actually the easiest decision to make in the wedding ...
planning process. I discovered Loren after seeing her work in my friends wedding when I was one of the bridesmaids. I didn't even shop around because I knew I wanted her right away for her artistic eye and her down to earth spirit . If you check out Loren's Instagram, her work speaks for itself. From covid panic to family dynamics, she was always timely in communication/delivery and kept us on track that day. Loren knew just how to get the perfect moments captured and she was an absolute gem to work with.
Loren's pictures are awesome and captured the beauty and joy of our wedding day flawlessly! I really appreciate her talent and ability to capture the perfect candid moments, as wel...
l as stage breath-taking shots. She was timely in turning the photos around to us and made the process from initial consult to final products incredibly smooth and easy to follow along with. She also listened to who we were as a couple and what we wanted, which truly made the photos feel even more authentic and perfect for us. All in all, I couldn't have asked for a better photographer!
Loren is the absolutely best! She did our engagement pictures back in October of 2019 (which were awesome!) and then Covid hit. She was so accommodating to help us postpone and pic...
k a new date for our wedding! It was definitely a stressful time for everyone, but she made me so calm and at ease. My husband and I decided to get married this July with a small backyard ceremony and then have a big reception next year. Loren was all for photographing our celebration and supported us with whatever we wanted to do!
We just got our pictures back and they are everything we hoped for! She is amazing at photography and will capture your special moments beautifully!! Her pictures are so light and airy which is the exact vibe I was hoping for.
I highly recommend Loren! She doesn’t disappoint!
Loren did our wedding and engagement photos for us and I could not be happier. She was flexible when we asked to do the engagement session at our home, and then especially when eve...
rything with corona virus hit. I never had a doubt in my mind that she would be there on our wedding day, small wedding or not. Loren made my husband and me feel comfortable even when posing for pictures is not a natural thing for us, and then at the wedding she was quick and organized so that our wedding party and guests could join the cocktail hour.
She captured the vibe of the day and our guests perfectly. So perfectly, in fact, that you would never guess there were any issues with a global pandemic leading right up to the day because she really captured the joy and happiness on everyone's faces.
I have already cried several times looking at her beautiful photos and remembering our wedding day because Loren did such an amazing job. I would certainly recommend her to anyone looking for gorgeous photos.
Loren recently did our engagement shoot and we absolutely LOVED our pictures!! I would absolutely recommend her. Her work is incredible and she is so sweet!
