third-wheeling your day, not directing it

Sonoma County Wedding Photographer

All are welcome here.

All love, all bodies, all kinds of families — come as you are. I’ll meet you there.

I’m not going to ask you to fake putting on your shoes or pretend to pin a boutonniere that’s already been pinned. I won’t stop a real, emotional moment just to fix your hair or stage a perfectly styled flat lay. That’s not my thing.

Instead of carefully arranging your details on a table with some flower petals, I want to catch them in action. Your grandma's heirloom earrings mean more when they’re caught mid-hug, swinging from your ears. And those custom beer steins? They look way better being chugged on the dance floor than sitting pretty on a table.

Don’t worry — I’ll still gently guide you when it matters. But mostly, I’m there to catch what’s actually happening. The real stuff. The good stuff. The stuff that hits different when you look back at it years from now.

This isn't a photo shoot.
this is your actual life.

The Loren Hansen Wedding Documentary Approach:

"Loren, your work exceeded our expectations, and we are so grateful for the beautiful memories you've given us. Thank you for being such an integral part of our wedding."

- Alex and Megan N

"an integral part of our wedding"

"She captured every special moment with skill and creativity, leaving us amazed at the fantastic shots she managed to get."

- Alex and Megan N

"She captured every special moment"

“Loren knows exactly when to capture you, your better half, and your loved ones to get the most genuine and loving pictures. You will love your photos, and you will love her.”

- Amanda H.

"You will love your photos, and you will love her."

“Loren is so friendly with a sense of humor that always puts you at ease. [Our wedding photos] were not only beautiful, but captured the essence of the love, joy, and celebration that we and our guests felt that day.”

- Micah P. 

"a sense of humor that always puts you at ease"

"Loren's  documentary style is wonderfully raw and emotional, and we are so grateful to have had her as a photographer for such an important day in our lives. She was everywhere, bouncing around our chaos and was able to capture the most beautiful and very silly moments of our friends and family helping everything come together."

- Shea G. 

"wonderfully raw and emotional"

I’ll arrive early, stay late, and quietly document the real moments as they happen — no interruptions or fake posing. Afterward, you’ll get sneak peek prints in the mail, then your full gallery and a fun-as-hell slideshow within 8 weeks.


Go Get Married. I’ll Be There.

You’ll get a helpful wedding guide from me that makes space for the important stuff (like what matters most to you) without cramming your day into a rigid shot list. We’ll keep it flexible and intentional.


Plan Without Overplanning

An engagement session is included with full-day wedding coverage (optional, but highly recommended). It’s the perfect low-pressure way to connect before the big day and get comfortable in front of the camera.

Reach Out + Say Hey

1

No overwhelming checklists. No stiff meetings. Just a simple, thoughtful process that keeps things easy for you and lets me show up fully on your day. From the first “hey!” to the final gallery delivery, I’m here to document your story as it unfolds — with care, humor, and zero weird vibes.


Here’s how this whole thing works

Spoiler: it’s chill and intentional

All-day means ALL DAY, my friend — from the moment you start getting ready until the last dance (or the afterparty if that's your vibe). Weddings are unpredictable, but one thing’s for sure: I’m in it for the long haul. You get me and my second shooter the entire day. No time limits. No rushing through your day.

I offer one wedding package to keep things simple — because who needs more choices when you’re already planning a wedding? 

Here's what you get:
  • All-day coverage (we’re talking 10+ hours on average, but hey, it’s your day, not mine)
  • 2 photographers to capture every angle, every candid, and every unplanned moment
  • Real, documentary-style shots — I’ll capture the big stuff and the quiet in-between, all without staging a thing. No Pinterest-perfect setups here — just your authentic, beautiful day unfolding naturally.
  • Sneak peek photos delivered shortly after the wedding (because we all know you’re dying to see them)
  • Curated online gallery of high-res images to download, share, and relive your day


All Day, Baby.

Real Life Looks Good on You.

Your day doesn’t need to be staged to be stunning. I’m here to catch the real stuff — the windblown hair, the spontaneous hugs, the crooked boutonnieres, the belly laughs, the tearful toasts. You just show up as yourself. I’ll do the rest.
