Lauren Brimhall

Contact Lauren Brimhall

My style is focused on capturing, not just the "key" moments, but the "little" moments that will clearly illustrate to future generations, not just where you were on your wedding day, but WHO you were, all in a fun and creative fashion.

I believe truly great wedding photography is achieved with a sense of humor, great lighting, and a trusting/relaxed relationship between photographer and client.

Where are you located? Do you charge a travel fee for weddings not in your location?

I am located in an area of the Philadelphia suburbs called West Chester, PA. I do not charge travel for weddings anywhere in NJ, the greater Philadelphia area, Baltimore or DE.

How long have you been in business? How many weddings have you photographed as the main photographer?

LBP has operated for 13+ years and I have personally photographed over 500 weddings.

Lauren is a phenomenal artist, and her talent, dedication, and hard work shines through her photos! She's dynamic, energetic, never "in the way", but ALWAYS snapping a photo of every precious moment. Lauren was the first vendor we hired, and we based our wedding date on her availability - best decision we made through the whole planning process!! We had a strict budget for our wedding, and have no regrets about cutting budget in other areas in order to have Lauren with us. 1000% worth it. On the wedding day, we had a tight timeline and I felt nervous about not having her recommended amount of Read More time for each type of photo session (ie couples photos and time between ceremony and reception), but thankfully we still got a ton of great quality, beautiful photos. My advice is to definitely use Lauren's suggestions if she says you need more time, a lighting assistant, etc. An immense thank you again to Lauren, Sean, and the lighting assistant. Much love to you all- we hope you keep rising with your work and successes!!

Writing a review for Lauren is probably the least thing I could do to thank her for the work she did on my wedding day. To say that she was absolutely incredible is an understatement. Words can't really describe how incredibly happy I was with her and everything that she did for us. My emotions while looking through all of the pictures can tell you exactly how I felt. I laughed, I cried, I rolled my eyes in laughter, I smiled at every single one, and most of all I felt such an immense amount of love. The wedding day is a whirl wind and you try to do as much as you can to soak it all in, but Read More seeing my pictures helped me relive it all again and see moments that I wasn't able to see. She was able to capture shots of people who are near and dear to us, and her pictures conveyed the personality of us as a couple as well as our family and friends. We wanted a wedding photographer who had a photo journalistic style, and Lauren encompasses that and so much more. She is immensely talented. I already cherish every single picture so much! They are all perfect even with the imperfections from others point of view. They convey life, love, and everything in between. They make you laugh and smile and those things are some of the most important feelings you can feel in the world. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Lauren!

Lauren was a pleasure to work with and we are so happy we hired her. Lauren has a distinct style that makes your photos unique and interesting but also focuses on capturing everyone's good time and emotions throughout the day. For us, capturing the unplanned moments and the fun our guests was having was incredibly important and Lauren hit that goal spot on. Lauren also helped us understand everything we needed to know about portraits and also enabled us to prioritize experiencing our wedding without sacrificing time for photos. Definitely recommend!

Lauren’s photos speak for themselves. Her photos of our wedding perfectly capture our happiness and excitement that day. Her images are so rich in terms of composition, texture and color - they capture emotion beautifully.

Lauren was great to work with leading up to the wedding. She reached out early to help us make a logistically-feasible schedule and to make sure we would spend the majority of the reception with our guests - a priority for us.

On the day of the wedding Lauren and Danny were super professional. We had quite a few moving parts - getting ready at home with a 5-month Read More old, a church ceremony in the city with limited parking, walking to a park to get ice cream, a rendezvous with our energetic pup, and a reception about 20 minutes away - and it was HOT - despite this they were calm and collected and at all the correct locations on time and ready to photograph.

Will and I are a little photo-shy. As a photographer, Lauren blended in so that we could just enjoy the party without feeling like we constantly had to pause the party to pose for photos. When I saw the photos, I was surprised that she captured so many moments where I don’t even remember seeing the camera.

Within a week of the wedding Lauren had already posted a selection of beautiful photos of our wedding on her blog. It’s really nice to have these so quickly so that we can share them with family and friends who were unable to attend. These aren’t your typical awkward wedding photos - you really feel like you at the celebration!

Overall, I highly recommend Lauren. I’m so happy to have these vibrant images that will allow us to relive our special day in the years to come.

Lauren and Tommy just shot our beach wedding a little over a week ago, we've only gotten some of the photos back from the blog and we're already blown away by her work. We both fell in love with her photo journalistic style before we hired her, but it's something else entirely when it's applied to your own wedding. She caught some beautiful raw moments between family and friends that many other photographers may have overlooked, focusing more on posed photos. Lauren and Tommy were inconspicuous while capturing many of these candid moments, and most times we didn't even realize they were Read More there. Their professionalism and patience was unparalleled as they helped to wrangle together all of our family members for portraits in the hot sun. Honestly, I wish we could give more than 5 stars because they exceeded our already high expectations and these photos are ones that we will cherish for years to come.

Lauren was incredible. Her work speaks for itself, but aside from the beautiful product she produces, she is fantastic to work with. She's funny and puts you at ease immediately. She works tirelessly to get the shot she wants - and she has such different ideas that you think "hmm" but then it turns out so incredible. She and her team are super professional and were very kind and patient during the entire day. Cannot recommend enough - she's beyond amazing!!

ALLISON + MARK

Lauren and her team were the easiest and hands down the best decision we made for our wedding planning. Without question. She is an explosive talent, looking at our photos, they are so beautiful, so carefully crafted - each one a piece of art - I honestly feel like honored to be in them lol!

She seamlessly transformed our wedding into something out of a Channel Paris catalogue, all while capturing so many insightful, impactful creative moments anyone else would have missed!

I still have tears in my eyes looking at the photos, and I imagine I will continue to every time I do! The Read More moments of family that she captured are so profoundly moving I can not even begin to thank her enough, such cherished memories will be preserved thanks to her!

Not only the photos move me, Laurn and her team went above and beyond their roles as photographers! They made everyone feel comfortable even those who were camera shy. Being a mother herself, Lauren was SO attentive to my 4 year old. She captured priceless moments, and moved in stride when tantrums interrupted the schedule.

She was incredibly accommodating to the flow of the day, and the energy of everyone she was photographing. Regardless of the heat, the mud, and the bugs her professionalism and positive energy was contagious!

At one point Lauren and team were even handing out my ceremony programs. (When a family member forgot) Not to mention the endless times both of them were on the ground, literally cleaning my train with rags over and over again! Only to have me cut it off in the end.

I honestly don't think I have ever been treated as kindly, even though I was the bride, their efforts of kindness and thoughtfulness to my needs not just as a bride extended throughout the entire booking process, day of, and beyond!

She is SO worth it, and then some. I would recommend her to the smallest or largest wedding! A bride has to worry about 1000 and ten things, but choosing Lauren will be without a doubt will be a breeze!

Lauren is an incredible photographer and I am so glad that we chose her to help us remember our wedding. She is compassionate, creative, and insanely skilled at her work. Our wedding was a little bittersweet as one of our family members was suffering from terminal cancer around the time of our wedding. Despite the difficulty of photographing such a sensitive time, Lauren was always kind, understanding, and compassionate. She went out of her way to photograph special moments between us with our ill family member and provided us with memories that we will treasure for many years to come. Read More These pictures were in addition to hundreds of "regular" wedding photos of our wedding party and guests. Her pictures are incredible - she somehow finds a way to make every person look both natural and beautiful. I would highly recommend her!

Lauren Brimhall Photography is awesome! Lauren is a true professional and was an absolute pleasure to work with from our initial conversations through to our wedding day. If you are looking for one-of-a-kind shots, do not hesitate to book Lauren Brimhall! Lauren and her team were up for anything to get us the best & most unique shots. We are thrilled with our beautiful photos! Thank you Lauren Brimhall Photography!

JILL + PARKER

Lauren was awesome! A week before our wedding she badly broke her toe, and despite needing to hobble around a bit, she still pushed on and captured the most amazing and fun photographs from our event. Her photojournalistic style perfectly matched our needs, and she has an incredible eye for capturing whimsical, beautiful, and heartfelt moments. Take a look at her work on her blog - her work speaks for itself. She was absolutely wonderful to work with and we could not be happier with our photos.

ALEX + VANESSA

As soon as I looked at Lauren’s work online, I knew that I wanted to hire her as our wedding photographer. And as soon as we spoke on the phone, that feeling was confirmed with absolute certainty. She and Sean were able to beautifully catch all of our “big” important moments as well as the little, surprising ones (e.g., when our flower girl was acting silly during the ceremony but no one else seemed to notice) in a way that truly brings me back to the emotion of the day. I was especially impressed when Lauren and Sean managed to deliver fantastic outdoor bridal party shots despite being thrown Read More a curveball with some rain. The weather prevented us from having as much time for outdoor photos between the ceremony and reception as we’d originally hoped, and even though they were rushed, Lauren and Sean turned this quick, rainy photo session into some of my favorite images! They are so creative, and truly know how to make the best of every situation. I recently received our full portfolio back, and I can tell that each photo was edited with care. Everything is absolutely gorgeous, and I can honestly say that I feel so honored and grateful to have had such an amazing team capture one of the most important days of my life. …Now that I’ve gone on enough about their talent, I also want to mention that Lauren is a wonderful person to work with in general! She is so sweet, responsive, down-to-earth, funny, and energetic. She and Sean are truly up for whatever you have in mind (my groom shared that Sean bravely balanced himself on the ledge of our condo’s roof deck in order to get the perfect shot of the city skyline in the background), while also bringing their fresh ideas for creative shots to the table. They are also very professional, relaxed, and fun – during all of the emotional, dramatic, loving, and sometimes crazy encounters that happen throughout the day, they are right there capturing every moment, but in a way that is both respectful and unobtrusive. Hiring Lauren and Sean was the best decision we could have made for our photos, and they have my highest recommendation to all brides and grooms looking for a fantastic photographer. I wish them nothing but the best, and will absolutely be going back to them whenever I need a photographer in the future.

Lauren Brimhall Photography is simply extraordinary. If you are looking for photojournalistic style wedding photography, stop looking at other photographers' websites and hire LBP immediately! (Seriously, she is in high demand and books up quickly).

Lauren's photography matches her personality: both are quirky, fun, sharp, and, best of all, honest. Lauren takes her craft very seriously, and her passion for her work shines through each one of her photographs. Lauren and Sean's enthusiasm, confidence, and positivity are infectious, which I now realize are great attributes for wedding Read More photographers to have. Lauren and Sean's all-around good vibes allowed us to feel comfortable being our true and most vulnerable selves on the big day. What's more, Lauren and Sean will do almost anything to get the shot! We even had a bear (yes! a live bear!) make an appearance at our camp wedding, and Lauren and Sean actually went TOWARD the bear to get a shot of it. During our engagement shoot, Lauren climbed and wrapped herself around a pole to get the perfect shot of us. In short, thanks to all Lauren and Sean's hard work, we now have the images that truly capture the feelings that we and our guests experienced on our big day. But you don't need me to explain how good LBP photography is; you can check out the website and see for yourself! Lauren has an incredible portfolio filled with tons of award-winning photographs.

Beyond her sheer talent, Lauren's behind-the-scenes work is outstanding and truly enhances the value of her service. Lauren is incredibly responsive and helpful. I honestly don't know when she sleeps. We had quite a few email exchanges leading up to the engagement shoot and the wedding, and she was able to respond usually within the same day with very detailed, thoughtful answers to our questions. She has tons of great ideas for shots, but also supports your ideas for shots as well. In short, Lauren let us feel heard and seen. We are honored to be LBP clients.

When researching photographers we had a hard time finding someone that was unique and to stood out from the rest, until we got a recommendation from a friend to call Lauren. From the first time we talked to her on the phone and looked at her portfolio online we knew she was special and had an eye for photos that were artistic and captured true candid moments/feelings of the day.

She is truly a professional not to mention a ball of energy, which is definitely needed on your wedding day! We had a rather large bridal party and group of family with us for the day (we did a first look and Read More pictures beforehand with approx. 30 people), and Lauren and Sean kept up with the chaos no problem and made sure to capture moments with everyone.

To sum it up we leave a quote from one of the bridesmaids once she looked at the pictures Lauren posted on her blog a few days after our wedding “These pictures are so awesome! That photographer is amazing and was literally everywhere at all times”. Lauren we can’t thank you enough for capturing the moments that made our day so special!

SARAH + ILYA

I was stalking my old high school friend and saw that her sister recently got married. I then found myself looking at the most jaw dropping, amazing pictures. I saw Lauren’s name on the bottom of a shot and immediately started stalking her on every social media site. I found myself in tears just by scrolling through her pictures/blog.

There was something different about her shots. The pictures were authentic, beautiful and raw. I finally emailed her and she immediately emailed me back, literally at 4:00 am. I was soooo happy to hear she was available of our wedding.

March 10, 2018, Read More was my special day. I will always be able to relive that day thanks to Lauren and her AMAZING team. Her passion is unbelievable. It was 45 degrees outside, Jason (my hubby) and I are riding a tandem bike and she is in the middle of the street dodging cars to get our perfect shot. She IS a NINJA. She was incredible the whole night.

March 12, 2018, her first pictures were released and I cried. I was getting texts the whole day saying, “OMG those pictures are amazing”, “I’m Crying”, and we had only seen two. The next day the blog was up and there were more tears. I am speechless. Lauren and her team are truly artists. :)

AVERY + JASON

AMAZING!!! Lauren was absolutely amazing throughout the entire wedding process. From the moment that I first contacted Lauren, she responded back to me in a very timely fashion and was extremely personable. She was recommended by a friend who could not stop raving about the amazing work that Lauren did for her wedding.

I was married this past weekend and Lauren was incredible! She was prompt, ready to go, and funny. She made myself, my family, my friends, and my fiance (now husband) comfortable. While taking photos, Lauren ensured that she got the best shots. She knew what lightening was Read More best, where to place people, etc. to make everything perfect. She is insanely creative and created shots that led to fantastic pictures. Lauren put up pictures on her instagram the following day and had the Blog post up within less than a week!

I cannot see enough positive things about Lauren and her work! If you are looking for a photographer, I highly recommend Lauren. You will not be disappointed!!
