INTIMATE WEDDINGS & ELOPEMENTS
I wasn't supposed to become a wedding photographer.
I picked up a camera because I loved documenting life as it was happening... somehow that slowly turned into photographing weddings. Honestly, I just really like people. The relationships. The inside jokes. The chaos. The happy tears. The weird little moments nobody else notices. I'm not interested in making people perform for the camera all day or turning weddings into some perfectly polished production. I'd rather document what actually happened. The people who showed up. The moments you'll laugh about later. The stuff you'll miss someday.
less performance, more presence
That's the kind of thing I care about.

ELOPEMENTS
We couldn’t be happier with our engagement photos—and the entire experience—with Lauren! From the very first conversation, she made everything feel so personal and special. She took the time to get to know us, our story, and what mattered most to us, and it really showed in every shot. (She even helped pick outfits last minute!) The session itself was an absolute blast. We laughed the entire time—nothing felt forced or awkward. Lauren created such a relaxed, fun atmosphere that allowed us to just be ourselves, which made all the difference. She had such creative ideas while also being open to ours, and her direction was always easy and natural. The final photos are stunning, but more than that, they feel like us. She captured the love, the fun, the goofiness, and the little moments in between in a way we’ll cherish forever. If you're looking for a photographer who brings talent, heart, and joy to every frame, we can’t recommend Lauren enough!

Lauren Huels Photography was an absolute dream to work with! From our first interaction, her communication was quick, sweet, supportive, and informative, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of her work is simply stunning - the photos she captured are beyond beautiful and worth every penny. When a hurricane derailed our shoot, she was so flexible in rescheduling and made us feel comfortable the entire time. Her kind, understanding nature and the Polaroids she gifted us before leaving were such thoughtful touches. I'm so sad that she won't be in our area much longer, as I would love the opportunity to work with her again. Lauren's work is truly exceptional, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Lauren Huels was an absolute joy to work with for our anniversary photo session in Savannah. From the moment we first connected, Lauren's communication style was kind, friendly, and quick - putting us at ease and making the whole process fun and seamless!! The quality of her work is truly professional, with a creative and loving touch that captured our relationship perfectly. Lauren wasn't our wedding photographer, we only wish she had been! Her photography skills are clean and timeless, and she was so sweet and amazing to collaborate with throughout our session. We were thrilled with the beautiful, lasting memories she was able to create for us!!!

We hired Lauren for our May 2025 Charleston wedding and she was so delightful to work with. She was patient with us at the beginning while we were still working on figuring out the style and scope of our big day and flexible with us about changing timelines and shot lists as the day approached. Day-of, she was an absolute dream to work with, ensuring that not only our photos were what we dreamed of, but also taking care to ensure we were soaking it all in. I was already sure that hiring her was a great choice but getting our final gallery of images sealed the deal for us. Our photos were everything we hoped for and more, and perfectly captured the intimate, candid feel of our day. Highly recommend Lauren for wedding photography!

If you’re looking for a fun, creative, and genuinely kind photographer who makes you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, then Lauren is your girl! This was the first time my fiancé and I had ever done professional photos, and from the moment we met her, it felt like we’d known her forever. She’s so personable, down-to-earth, and has an incredible eye for capturing the beauty and emotion in every moment. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and the photos we’ll cherish forever!
