LAUREN N. SCHLESSELMAN
As I approach my eighth year as a wedding photographer, I'm grateful for the love stories and celebrations I've captured. Every wedding is unique and holds a special place in my heart.

For me, wedding photography is all about storytelling and preserving the authenticity of your love story. I believe it's an essential investment to capture your special day and the unique moments you'll share.
I've had the privilege of photographing a wide range of events, from adventurous elopements to grand ceremonies. With a background in the arts and a commitment to staying updated with technology, I bring creativity and professionalism to every wedding. I take pride in keeping your day organized and ensuring you enjoy every moment.
