Hi! Thank you for dropping in - I’m Lauren!

Life is art, and there’s an art to the way I live. While my lifestyle may not be for everyone, it has certainly never stopped me from connecting with anyone. My job isn’t just to photograph your wedding, it’s to help you feel safe inside. I hold space for people to be fully themselves on one of the most emotional days of their lives.

Style is easy to copy, energy is not.

I photograph love as a living thing. Your wedding is not a performance, it’s a threshold. I see the photos I take and deliver as an inheritance, not a product. Before we ever talk logistics, I want to know what love means to you two and what you want to remember when you’re old.

I’m more presence than polished, with room for both elegance and ease.

Lauren Mark is a nomadic photographer who weaves between weddings and wanderlust.

Before finding her calling as a wedding photographer, she worked in the film industry for 6 years, and was a personal assistant to a Hollywood actor.

Lauren’s background in film gives her a unique perspective on each wedding she shoots. Her attention to detail is second to none.

New York raised, based in Ventura, California — Lauren can roll up to your wedding wherever your imagination takes you.

In their words…

  • "It was an incredible weekend and Lauren, you were certainly a part of making that happen. I was grateful that you came to shoot the welcome dinner and really appreciated your approach to the whole weekend. You made both of us, and everyone there, feel so comfortable and you truly were a part of the celebration. My friends and family all commented to me about how nice and friendly you were. And you were helpful to me beyond measure. Even going as far as to help me print my wedding vows! But beyond your wonderful presence were your amazing photographs. Everything I hoped that they would be, they were so much more. They were better than I could have imagined and keep looking through them so we can relive the weekend. You captured the feelings and emotions of the weekend and gave us something we can truly treasure forever. And everyone who sees them, is blown away as well. You are so talented and I am so grateful."

This was our first time using a professional photographer and it was nothing short of amazing. She made us feel comfortable, she knew how to direct us and got the most beautiful photographs. Her calming demeanor allowed us to feel at ease in front of the camera. We really appreciated her knowledge of the location and would definitely want to book her again for any future events."
