This website is dedicated to the first 20 years of my freelance photography career in Philadelphia during the 1980's and 90's. By far, my most favorite subject through the years has been my family. My father celebrated our family through photography. His love for us was well documented in both 16 and 8mm film and in print. We'd all gather in the family living room to view his films of us with much anticipation, excitement and joy! This left an amazing impression on me about the power imagery has to capture sentimental moments.

Lauren was fantastic! We hired her as a videographer for our wedding at the Westin Jekyll Island. She communicated very well beforehand and was very punctual! She went out of her way to make sure that we got all the shots we wanted, and managed to capture many special moments without being distracting at all. She sent us a sneak peak of the day very quickly after as well!

Lauren filmed my wedding in May 2021 and she was phenomenal to say the least! She exceeded mine and my husband's expectations when we received our wedding footage. She captured every little detail so perfectly. On the way to our honeymoon the next day, she sent us a preview video at 6:30 am. She had to have been working on that all night after she filmed my entire wedding day. She I'm sure was exhausted but still went above and beyond. It meant so much to me! I cannot recommend Lauren enough!

I can't say enough good things about Lauren. I wasn't considering having a videographer for our wedding but my mom insisted and I am SO glad she did. The whole experience with Lauren was amazing. From our prep meetings to the day of, she has the sweetest heart and it shines through in all of her work. She also has a presence that just immediately calms you.
She was sure to capture everything I had requested and more. I get so many compliments on my wedding video. She has a way of capturing her couple's personality and showing that through the story she tells. Her attention to detail and professionalism are unmatched. I am so grateful I have this beautiful video to look back on and relive all of those sweet memories over and over. Did I mention we woke up to a highlight reel of our wedding the morning after? It was so special to wake up to. Thank you for everything Lauren. PS. If you're considering a videographer DO IT and use LW Film!

I can't say enough good things about Lauren, she is the best of the best! Our whole experience with Lauren, from the prep meetings to the day of our wedding was phenomenal! She has such a calming presence, sweet personality and always has a smile on her face. You can tell she is truly passionate about her job because it shines through in everything she does!
She has a way of capturing each couple's personality and making you feel comfortable while doing so. Lauren's professionalism and attention to detail are second to none. I'm so thankful we had Lauren to capture all of these once in a lifetime moments for us! Also, we got a bonus while working with Lauren, we told our amazing photographer (Haley Wright Photography) that we wanted something/somewhere different for our engagement pictures.
We decided on The Little Grand Canyon, Providence Canyon State Park in GA. As soon as Lauren found out she insisted on going! So not only do we have a beautiful wedding video that we will cherish forever, we have one from our engagement shoot as well! I 100% recommend!

Lauren was an absolute DREAM to work with! My husband and I decided to get married sorta last minute and only had about 2 months of planning. Having video was very important to me, and 5 minutes into my first meeting with Lauren I knew she was the one! I had a special request as part of my video and she turned my idea into something I'll cherish forever. Side note: She is an absolute delight and I'd recommend her to everyone!

I had the pleasure of hiring Lauren to film my wedding video, and she did the best job with capturing all the special and important moments. 8 months later and I still get chills and cry every time I watch my wedding video. She was so sweet and professional and really I could not have ever imagined the quality of the video we have to now rewatch forever. She was also very easy to work with, and quickly made edits to the video to make sure no special moment was missed that we wanted included. Hire her she is 1000/10!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Lauren and LW Film and Photo. We used Lauren as our videographer for our wedding and it was by far the best decision we made. She is so personable and makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She really captured our personalities and all the best parts of our day. The day goes by so quickly and watching our videos we get to relive those awesome moments. Lauren is so professional, she responded quickly to my emails, she was early, communicated clearly, and is overall just an amazing person. Our video was even better than I could have imagined. Overall, it was the best experience and I could not recommend her more.

I could not recommend Lauren more highly for your wedding or special event! She was an absolute joy to work with and captured our wedding day more beautifully than I could have ever imagined or hoped for. I felt so comfortable with her the second I met her, and it genuinely felt like we had a true friend there with us on our wedding day capturing all our special moments. She is truly gifted and an absolute angel of a human being. You will not regret having her as part of your day.

Lauren is a dream to work with! My husband and I chose her to capture our wedding as well as the birth of our son. Words cannot describe just how grateful we are for her capturing these moments for our family. She's so kind and really will go above and beyond for her clients! Put your trust in her, you will not be disappointed!
