Photographer, CAT MOM & TRAVEler, TELLING UNIQUE STORIES FOR COOL PEOPLE worldwide
Lauren Long
People are my muses. Lingering glances, inside jokes, happy tears, radiant confidence, layers of interpersonal connection I'll never fully understand but I get to observe and freeze that moment for you. I'm not a photographer who takes photos for social media or even for myself. I do it for people like you who want to celebrate your love for each other and the life you have created together.
I'm the photographer for fearless couples who want to enjoy each moment without worrying about it being perfect. Because life is too short to be anything but yourself and these real moments are fleeting. I'm proud to work with a variety of people, backgrounds, situations...and adapt to their unique energy.
My previous roles working at Disney, in luxury hotels and customer service have taught me that experience goes above all else. My passion for creating and making people happy has drawn me to make photography a full time business I just can't get enough of for the last 6 years.
Thank you in advance for inviting me into a space that is usually reserved for close friends and family. The honor is truly all mine.
A little about me!!! I am originally from Indiana and have lived in Florida, NYC and Chicago before landing in San Diego, CA where me and my two cats, Mr. Darcy & Meeko soak up the sun now!
I graduated from Purdue with a degree in hospitality and worked in a variety service roles for 10 years before deciding to branch out on my own (including but not limited to Disneyworld & The Breakers Palm Beach!)
I have always loved being a part of making a celebration come to life. And I have always considered myself to be an artist. Photography has let me combine the best of the hospitality and creative worlds for over 7 years now!
Travel has also been a big part of my life and I am grateful to be able to explore new and familiar destinations, snapping photos along the way.
lauren's origin story
My goal is for you to have a photo gallery filled with images that cannot be replicated, duplicated or found anywhere else. Your memories, personalities and relationship are unique to you. Basic, standard and typical just won't cut it!
If you love something and are excited about it for your wedding day, I am all for it. I am an advocate for doing whatever the hell you want and leaving out what doesn't. Say goodbye to the expectations of the wedding world!
values
Lauren Lucile Creative celebrates any and all forms of love. Celebrations of any size, style, location, between any people...as long as it's true to you and you're good humans, it's worth celebrating. I don't have to identify exactly like you in order to care deeply about your right to choose who to love and marry.
This is a safe space for LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities.
