We are so thankful to have found Lauren for our engagement & wedding day photography. She is truly an artist at what she does, and is able to capture the moment beautifully. Throughout the entire process leading up to the big day, Lauren was always quick to respond to any concerns or questions and was so accommodating. The entire wedding day photography went so smoothly, and Lauren & her partner were professional and prompt. Our guests could not stop complimenting our sneak peak photos & we are so excited to start framing the portraits! Laurens style is absolutely beautiful and is exactly what we were looking for. Thank you a million!!

Lauren is a wizard!
Lauren is an amazing photographer and a great person! We loved having her as our wedding photographer at our wedding at the end of July 2022. We had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID and she was incredibly accommodating. She is so easy to get along with and she did a fantastic job capturing both our engagement and wedding photos. She made my husband and I feel incredibly at ease. I would recommend Lauren to anyone and I look forward to working with her again in the future!

Love love love our photos and Lauren!
Lauren was so much fun to work with! We opted for 10 hours of coverage on our wedding day and were overwhelmed by the number and quality of the photos! She was super flexible as we routinely had to reschedule our engagement shoot due to weather. We LOVE our winter engagement photos and we had a blast goofing around with Lauren in the snow. She quickly put us at ease and helped us get over the initial awkwardness of having our photo taken. On our wedding day, Lauren and her second photographer Megan divided and conquered to capture every moment and every possible combination of bridal party and family members. They were so thorough, pleasant and helpful! Thank you Lauren - we will cherish the photos for a lifetime!

A dream photographer
I cannot tell you how much we love Lauren and her photography. For one, she’s awesome as a person! She makes you feel comfortable and provides you direction in a really easy way so you get quality photos without feeling forced or uncomfortable. Her photography was incredible, her prices are more than fair, and she is so flexible and kind. Neither myself or my husband had ever had our photos taken by a professional and you’d never be able to tell. Invest in good photography for your wedding, you will not regret it. Also, she gets bonus points for having a snuggly puppy at her studio.

AMAZING wedding pics (pet friendly too!)
Lauren has shot our engagement, ceremony, and will be shooting our reception next year too! We couldn't have been happier with both our engagement and ceremony galleries, both of which include some stunning portraits of me, my husband, and our dog! Perfect blend of posed and candid shots, and is so great at making anyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. LOVE what we've seen so far, can't wait for next year's party pics! THANK YOU LAUREN!

Best photographer in the business!
Lauren’s work is absolutely exquisite. It was an absolute dream having Lauren shoot our wedding day. She was professional, knowledgeable every step of the way, and a pleasure to work with. The ability she has to capture the emotion of the moment in a photograph is incredible. My husband is nervous to have photos taken but with Lauren’s direction the entire process was so enjoyable and it stands out as a favourite moment of the entire wedding event for both of us. I cannot recommend Lauren Garbutt Photography enough, so talented!
Lauren Garbutt Photography's reply:
Thank you so much Kaitlyn! I had such a great time celebrating your marriage and I'm so glad you like the photos. Thank you so much for your kind words! I love hearing back from my couples!

My husband and I were so impressed with Lauren's work. She was flexible the entire time, as we changed our minds back and forth on our photo locations. Her calm, confident nature put our minds at ease the whole day. She calmly directed family well to ensure great photos were taken and everyone still felt relaxed. We love the photos Lauren took and will treasure them forever.
Lauren Garbutt Photography's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so happy that I was able to celebrate with you both and I'm honoured that I was able to be present for your beautiful wedding day

Lauren is a dream to work with!
Lauren shot our wedding in May 2016 at Ball's Falls Conservation Area. She was recommended to me by a photographer friend, and I'm glad she was. Lauren is extremely friendly and professional, and made us feel at ease during the entire process. We had our engagement shot only a week prior to the wedding date, so it was a good test run for the wedding day. We wanted casual and more candid photography and she delivered! We are thrilled with all our wedding photos and love the 'concert light' style for the dance photos. I always recommend Lauren to friends (and strangers on community pages!). If I had to do it all over again, I would chose Lauren - no question about it!

Capturing memories we'll cherish forever
We are so happy to have found Lauren and have her capture our wedding day earlier this summer. She was genuine and took the time to chat in order to advise which package made the most sense. She was honest where time was needed and where it wasn't which I appreciate. I spoke with quite a few vendors (one of which never showed up to a call) and connected with her instantly. Her prices very fair considering how experienced she is and she provided us with SO many photos. I would definitely recommend her to anyone – especially those who appreciate lots of candid photos. She was fun to work with on the day of and considering how disorganized I was with last-minute shot lists and such, she got everything I was looking for.
Lauren Garbutt Photography's reply:
Hi Shay!
Aw I just saw this! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this!
I loved working with you both and we had such a great time! I'm so glad I was able to capture everything you wanted.
Hope for a reason to work with you again!

Amazing! She is really great!
We simply loved Lauren. Our wedding was in the middle of pandemic in January, super small and she was so calm and super professional, she even recommended a nice location in Niagara Falls and took amazing pictures, haven't been able to leave a review in google but I really recommend her hands down. Thank you Lauren!
Lauren Garbutt Photography's reply:
Thank you so much for the kind words Andrea!!! I loved shooting with you and I'm so happy you could still get married despite everything happening.
Congrats again and I hope can cross paths again one day!
