I'm a documentary aficionado turned wedding filmmaker based out of Portland, Oregon. When I'm not filming weddings, you can find me hanging out with my dog, Werner Herzdog (seen in the photo), having happy hour with friends or scheming my next video endeavor. I have filmed everything under the sun including a Netflix Original Documentary series to a musical narrative with the singer, Storm Large.

But no matter what, I approach each project with the same gusto, excitement and curiosity.

I was born and raised in NE Portland, Oregon, but I have lived in five other countries including: Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Taiwan and Thailand. I returned to Portland about two years ago and I am loving it! I come from a family of artists. My mother is an abstract painter and my sister is a graphic designer who lives in Sweden with my adorable niece.

Lauren is one of those few people that is able to capture who each couple is individually. There are so many videographers that have their aesthetic and focus on that through each wedding. Not Lauren. She's focused on capturing the day and the personalities of each person and couple. My wife and I's day was very wet and gloomy; we definitely planned it this way because we got married at a waterfall here in the PNW and fall is our season. Lauren did not complain at all and was able to improvise through the rain. Our wedding was very small and personal and she was able to capture small moments on

Lauren is the sweetest! She’s incredibly talented and a complete joy to work with. We collaborated together for a creative project and the end result blew me away! Not only was the end result more than I could have imagined, the entire process of working with her was super fun and inspiring. She’s attentive, was able to capture what I was envisioning and took it to the next level with her creative insight. She’s also really caring and for me, that’s what makes her extra special!

If you’re thinking about a wedding video, do it. And do it with lovebug!! It was soo worth it. Lauren did such an amazing job with our video. She was so good at creating something that really reflected my husband and I’s personalities. Our video was extremely meaningful without being your run-of-the
-mill lovey dovey wedding video - Lauren creates something so unique and different and that’s what makes her work stand out. Not to mention, she is fun to be around! It’s a little odd to have a stranger hanging with you on your most special day but we all loved her and it wasn’t weird at

Working with Lauren was such a joy! Under her guidance and creative vision, my partner and I felt comfortable to be our most authentic selves. We even shared a vulnerable moment when we read aloud love letters to each other - an idea Lauren proposed! Definitely recommend working with Lauren if you want to capture beautiful moments in a genuine way.

We recently had the pleasure of collaborating with Lauren on a styled shoot. She has a quiet confidence about her, as well as a keen eye for detail. We loved watching her meticulously shoot each scene, working alongside each partner to accurately capture their craft. Her video work is not only stunning, but also effortlessly unique. Looking forward to working together again!

Laurens cinematography style caught my eye instantly, it was unique, timeless, and artistic. We even met at a wedding crawl to add to the fun! Having a wedding during a pandemic, we wanted to make sure we could share our special day with those who couldn’t be with us. Our short videos were pure ART! Lauren got us hyped up from day one! My husband and I have our own version of how we met on Instagram. She creatively incorporated how my husband slid into my DM. You’ll have to go back and watch it! Look up Thuy & Garrett to see all the unique elements in our footage that makes Lauren so special

We hired Lauren for our big day, but we made the hard decision to postpone the wedding to next year. Lauren was extremely flexible and understanding in accommodating our changes. We decided to still get married this year with a small ceremony and last minute decided to hire Lauren. We are so glad we did so we have those memories to last us forever. Lauren did such an amazing job. Her fun, energetic, yet laid-back personality makes it easy and fun to be in front of a camera. Our video turned out authentic to our personality and that's all due to her direction behind the scenes. I highly recommend

We decided on a shorter notice to get a video done. Lauren did an amazing job capturing our wedding especially since she didn’t have much prior information to go on. We love our video and I’ve watched it many times already. We went back and forth for a long time if we should get one and I would say it was one of my favorite take aways. I would have regretted not doing it. Lovebug gave us an awesome gift that we can now share our wedding day with all our loved ones even if they couldn’t be there day of.

Lauren was creative and flexible from day 1. Neither of us wanted the traditional slowmo thing, so we were excited to find someone like Lauren who was excited to experiment and have fun with it. After our original wedding plans got cancelled due to COVID, Lauren was so flexible and let us completely change our plans up until just a couple days before our Plan B elopement. We couldn't have friends and family come celebrate with us, but we were so happy to have this amazing video to share with them. She beautifully incorporated video greetings from our loved ones so we can see them celebrating with

Lauren was wonderful to work with! Despite having to change everything up she was super accommodating! I loved her vision from the get go, and she saw mine as well. I loved that she captured raw and real moments and I honestly was so comfortable around her and her co-videographer that it was easy to forget they were even there! She was able to get a teaser back to me rather quickly as well! I would highly recommend Lovebug!!
