About Lauren Perrin Photo

Lauren Perrin Photo

Owner

I'm Lauren, a Michigan wedding photographer based in Grand Rapids, documenting weddings and elopements with a candid, documentary approach & an editorial eye. I believe your wedding should feel like a wedding. You deserve to be present for the people, emotions, laughter and little moments happening around you, while trusting that they're being documented beautifully. I'll guide you when you need it, step back when you don't & help create an experience that feels comfortable & natural from beginning to end. The result is a gallery full of intentional images that don't just show what your day looked like - they bring you back to how it felt.

Your wedding isn't content, and I'm not there to turn it into a production. My approach blends documentary storytelling with thoughtful direction, so you can actually experience your day instead of spending it posing for photos. I'll step in when you need guidance and step back when the moment speaks for itself. You'll get the portraits you'll want to frame alongside the laughter, reactions, movement and beautifully imperfect moments you didn't even know were happening. Because your photos shouldn't just show you how your wedding looked—they should bring you back to how it felt.

    Unmatched Talent, Unforgettable Experience

    From the very first moment we connected with Lauren at the Wedding Expo at the Grand Rapids Public Museum, we knew we were placing the photographing of the biggest day of our lives in the most-capable hands. Her professionalism, warmth, and incredible eye for detail completely blew us away right from the start. What she delivered wasn't just a set of photos, it was a breathtaking, emotional time capsule of our engagement shoot and wedding day that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. There’s something truly special about a vendor who becomes more than just a part of your wedding team - someone who feels like a trusted friend. From the moment my wife and I connected with Lauren, we knew we had found someone exceptional. Throughout the entire journey leading up to our big day, Lauren was a steady, joyful, and deeply supportive presence. We first worked with her offically during our engagement shoot, and to say we were blown away would be an understatement. The photos were stunning! So beautifully composed, natural, and authentically us. That experience only amplified our excitement for what she would capture on our wedding day. Lauren’s turnaround time is nothing short of incredible. Despite her demanding schedule (a testament to how in-demand and talented she is), she delivered our photos with unbelievable speed and care. We’re still in awe of how quickly we were able to relive the magic of our day through her lens. Her prep work leading up to the wedding was flawless. Working seamlessly alongside our Day-Of Coordinator, Lauren helped us map out a photography timeline that not only made the day run smoothly but also allowed us to be fully present. Thanks to her thoughtful planning and attention to detail, our First Look and post-ceremony portraits unfolded effortlessly - a massive weight lifted off our shoulders. And then came the photos. Every single one radiates with emotion, artistry, and intention. Lauren didn’t just document our wedding, she told our story in the most breathtaking way. Her talent behind the camera is undeniable, but it’s her warmth, intuition, and joy that truly set her apart. If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only at the top of their craft but also brings a glowing, calming, and genuine energy to your wedding day, look no further than Lauren. We feel endlessly lucky to have had her by our side - and now in our hearts.

    Aaron & Emma — I have no words — only tears and a heart bursting with gratitude. Reading this absolutely wrecked me (in the best way). You two have been the kind of dream clients every photographer hopes for — full of love, joy, trust, and intentionality from the very beginning. I knew we were going to create something magical together. Your love for each other is palpable, and getting to witness it — not just on your wedding day, but through the entire journey — has been an absolute honor. You welcomed me in as more than just a vendor; you let me in as a friend, and that means more to me than I can express. Photographing your day wasn’t a “job” — it was a privilege, a joy, and something I will always hold close. Thank you for trusting me so fully, for sharing your hearts, and for seeing mine so clearly in return. Your words reminded me exactly why I do what I do — and why I love it so darn much. I’m forever grateful for you both, and I cannot wait to see what your next chapters bring. Know that I’m always cheering you on, with a camera in hand or from afar. With all the love in the world, Lauren 🤍

    Engagement photoshoot

    If you’re thinking of choosing Lauren as your photographer, do it! She was absolutely amazing to work with, flexible, quick with responses, and made everything easy for us. We are not usually in front of the camera and she made us feel so comfortable and kept things natural - which we loved. She also got our engagement photos back to us within a week, which was impressive. She is sweet, fun, and has a good eye!

    Lauren PerrinJul 8, 2025

    Thank you so much, Annalisa and Liam! It was truly a joy capturing your engagement — you both made my job so easy by just being yourselves. I’m so glad I could help you feel comfortable and that you love your photos! I can’t wait to be there with you on your wedding day and capture even more beautiful moments. It’s going to be amazing!

    Exceptional Photographer & Dream Vendor

    I had the absolute pleasure of working with Lauren for a recent wedding, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! From the moment she reached out to introduce herself a few weeks before the event, I knew we were going to be a great team. She proactively shared her photography timeline and kept an open line of communication throughout the final planning stages, which made coordinating so much easier. On the day of the wedding, she was incredibly flexible and collaborative—working with me to adjust to a few last-minute timeline changes without skipping a beat. Her calm, professional presence and attention to detail made such a difference, not only for me as the day-of coordinator but for the couple as well. Lauren Perrin is exactly the kind of vendor you hope to have on a wedding day: communicative, reliable, and truly a joy to work alongside. I’m already looking forward to the next opportunity to work together! – Mallory, Mallory Joy Wedding & Events

    Hi Mallory! Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience—it truly made my day to read your thoughtful review. From our very first chat, I felt like we were on the same wavelength, and your seamless communication and positive energy kept everything running smoothly. I’m so grateful for how you adapted on the fly with our timeline tweaks and for the calm, confident way you guided the day—it made all the difference for our couple (and for me!). I’m beyond excited to welcome Mallory Joy Wedding & Events as a Preferred Vendor for Lauren Perrin Photo. I can’t wait to recommend your incredible talent to my clients, knowing they’ll be in such capable, caring hands. Here’s to many more celebrations together! 🥂 With gratitude, Lauren Perrin

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND LAUREN

    Lauren is so amazing! She is super funny, so kind and her work IS THE BEST!! I absolutely recommend her to everyone. She is not badly priced and her work is worth so much more! My husband and I are so thankful we found her, she’s our photographer for life! She took our maternity, wedding and newborn pictures of our daughter and they all came out so beautifully. I’m super awkward when it comes to taking photos and posing but she knew exactly how to get me out of my shell and make it so natural. Not once have I felt awkward or uncomfortable when she has taken our photos! Absolutely love her!

    Lauren PerrinApr 15, 2025

    Faith, you just made my day! 💛 Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. I absolutely love working with you and Brandon—it’s been such a joy to capture these beautiful milestones from maternity to wedding to newborn photos. Seeing how natural and at ease you both look in every shot is the biggest compliment, especially knowing you felt comfortable in front of the camera! It means so much to me that you trust me to capture such important moments in your lives, and I’m beyond grateful to be your photographer for life! I can’t wait for all the future memories we’ll get to document together. Sending you, Brandon, and your growing family all the love in the world! 💛📸 With love, Lauren

    Amazing!

    From the moment we first spoke with Lauren, my husband and I knew we had found the perfect wedding photographer. Her communication style is punctual, detailed, and easygoing, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of Lauren's work is authentic, timeless, and truly creative. On the day of our wedding, she was a calming, joyful presence, capturing every special moment big and small without ever being intrusive. The candid shots she delivered are pure magic, and the portraits are simply stunning - timeless, elegant, and full of emotion. Our family and friends can't stop raving about the photos, and we're beyond grateful to have these memories preserved so beautifully. If you're looking for a professional, talented photographer who is genuinely passionate about what they do, hiring Lauren is one of the best decisions you can make for your wedding day.

    Deanna—wow. I don’t even have the words (but I’ll try)! From the very first convo, I knew you and Pat were my kind of people—fun, kind, wildly in love, and totally yourselves. Your wedding day will forever be one of my favorites. The energy, the joy, the people (your crew is amazing), and the way you two looked at each other… ugh, it was magic. Thank you for trusting me to capture every laugh, every tear, every little in-between moment. I’m so grateful I got to be part of something so special. Love you both to pieces 💛


I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
My turnaround time varies by season. You will receive a sneak peak posted online and added to your gallery link within 5 days. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 30 days after your wedding. Within this time, you can also expect to receive an online gallery with high-resolution image files, so you can share the photos with your loved ones and order prints.
In my 15 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted assistant. I’ll also provide you with a list of photographers from the many networking groups I’m in, so you can find the perfect replacement.
Typically, couples book me about 10-24 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
No, I prefer focusing on photography only, so you can get the best wedding pictures possible. My preferred vendor list includes the best videographers I have worked with directly!
Sometimes, I’ll bring one or more assistant photographers depending on the size of your wedding. Don’t worry, this won’t cost you extra.
You can expect about 20 to 50+ images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors. Because each wedding varies, I do not guarantee a specific number of images returned. My goal is to provide you with the best of the best from your wedding day!
Definitely. All final images will be retouched for the best color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful.
