Almost every bride I've worked with has said some version of "I'm not photogenic." And I've watched every single one of them forget they were nervous within the first ten minutes. That's not luck. That's the job.
If you're looking for someone who will make sure you actually live your wedding day and still have proof it happened, you're in the right place. You've seen it. A friend's gallery that stopped you mid-scroll. Warm, real, full of actual emotion. You want your wedding to look like that. Not posed. Not performed. Just real. That's exactly what I'm here to give you.
I become part of your day, anticipate the moments before they happen, and make sure the version of you that shows up in your gallery is the real one. The one laughing too hard. The one trying not to cry during the vows. The one who looked exactly like themselves on the best day of their life.
MeetLauren!
MY STORY
The can't-stop-smiling moments, the deep breaths, the chaos you didn't plan but will never want to forget. I don't pose you into something polished. I show up, pay attention, and document your story as it actually unfolded. Real, emotional, and completely yours.

“Lauren is truly one of kind and we had the best experience with her for our engagement shoot! I found her through Instagram when I got engaged and kept her in the back of my mind for so long before I decided to reach out and book engagement photos before the seasons changed. She made this process SO easy and our 1 hour session felt like it flew by because we were having so much fun!! Lauren makes you feel comfortable and knows all the right poses, especially for those who may need that extra help! I highly recommend Peronto Photo for Chicagoland couples!”
Love, Natalie W.

Lauren, the is the best wedding photographer in Chicago. She is patient, but a true leader- making sure she captures all your dream photos while sifting through the chaos of the crowd. She kept a great schedule with a tight timeline from the church, wedding party photos, couples photos, & then to our reception. Overall, she has such an eye for capturing the “real” moments on such a special day.
Love, Cortney F.
