My love for photography started 20 years ago in Sebastopol, shooting only film and hand-developing images in a poorly ventilated darkroom I built at home. My inspiration came from the people around me, framing life as it happened and absolutely taking rolls and rolls of pictures of my friends doing “cool stuff” (or embarrassing stuff depending on who you ask).
For the last decade I’ve been using my documentary-style photography here in Sonoma County to capture incredible, raw moments at Northern California weddings to showcase the unique personalities of my clients. I am proud to have been selected as a winner of The Knot’s “Best of Weddings” as well as Wedding Wire’s “Couple’s Choice” for 2022, 2023, and 2024, and “Best of Zola” 2023 and 2024 thanks to all of the incredible reviews I have received from my wedding clients.
Creating a friendship with you and understanding your personality to make it shine is my priority. Photography is about the art, the people, and catching candid moments that will live on forever. It’s about ditching expectations and allowing moments to unfold. It’s about seeing the beauty in authenticity. I want all the open-mouthed smiles, the happy tears, the chaos that erupts on your wedding day or when you try to get your family of 5 to look at the camera at the same time. I want you to not only see heirloom photos but, to feel raw emotion when you revisit those images.
Warmly,
Loren
