Hi, we’re Lauren & Travis.

Besides being documentary-style wedding and elopement photographers, we’re also creative problem solvers, travel pros, location scouters, and the ultimate hype crew.

Our list of skills is all thanks to the 100+ incredible couples who have trusted us to play a co-creative part in crafting their wedding experience, invited us into their intimate celebrations, and have allowed us to help tell a meaningful chapter of their story.

And when it comes to our travel knowledge, it sure doesn’t hurt that we spent 6 years living in our van, traveling around the States with our dog, Denali.

Your wedding or elopement is a day (or three) that’s about what matters mosts to you two.

And it’s an experience you should enjoy every second of.

Whether that’s a rad helicopter ride to a remote waterfall or a traditional-style wedding in your family’s backyard—there’s no one right way to go about it.

Our passion is crafting weddings and elopements that are intentional, meaningful, and allow our couples to be so immersed in each and every moment that they won’t even notice the cameras. This guide will help you find the intention behind your wedding day, and help you move forward to crafting the wedding of your dreams!

    “Our experience with Love Lorraine, led by Lauren and Travis, was absolutely fantastic. They played a pivotal role in making our elopement in Telluride, Colorado, a dream come true. From the get-go, Lauren and Travis were incredibly helpful in choosing our elopement location. Telluride was a stunning choice, thanks to their guidance. Throughout the planning process, they provided us with multiple location options for the ceremony and photography. They also shared a list of reliable vendors for flowers, hair, makeup, and more, making the planning process a breeze.

    What truly stood out was their dedication and flexibility. They met with us multiple times to create a detailed itinerary, even offering backup plans in case of bad weather. On our wedding day, Travis and Lauren's easy-going and spontaneous approach made the day stress-free. They were with us from start to finish, and it felt like spending time with friends which made us more relaxed creating more candid photos. Lauren and Travis delivered not only an unforgettable experience but also exceptional photos. They exceeded our expectations, and we are incredibly grateful for their incredible work. Lauren and Travis's personal touch made us feel like more than clients. By the end of it, we felt like we had made new friends. In short, Love Lorraine, with Lauren and Travis, went above and beyond, and we couldn't be happier. If you want not just photographers but friends to share your special day, they're the perfect choice. Highly recommended!

    “Choosing a wedding photographer can be really overwhelming, which is why I feel SO lucky to have chosen Love, Lorraine! They understood us as a couple and so therefore were able to capture exactly what we were looking for (relationships, memorable details, emotions). They are also incredible at photographing the glorious outdoors which was important for us to showcase.

    On top of all this, they are kind, calm, lovely people who have great vibes which is exactly what you want during such a momentous (potentially stressful at times) occasion in your life. Thank you so much, Travis & Lauren, for being such an integral part of our journey.”

  • Rebecca & Joe

    “Best decision we made during planning! Deciding to work with Lauren and Travis was hands down the best decision we made when planning our elopement. They were the very first vendor we booked and were with us every step of the way from brainstorming location and activity ideas, booking other vendors, and final day of decision. It was a fun and stress- free planning process.

    On the days we spent with them, they were relaxed and easy to work with, and were our biggest fans, making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. They knew when we needed a break from the lens, and made sure the focus of our days was our enjoyment, allowing the photos to come naturally. When they delivered the album we were blown away by the quality of their photographs, their editing style both color and black and white, and how they told the story of our entire elopement while capturing the smallest of details to the grandest landscape views and every candid moment between.”

    “My husband and I got married in Washington in September 2022. After meeting with dozens of other photographers, we landed on Lauren & Travis and couldn’t be happier with our choice. Not only did they plan an epic multi-day adventure, but partnering with them turned into a friendship. They were thoughtful with the questions asked on the initial consult call and planning calls to ensure our vision came to life. They are a power couple and incredible team with a creative eye and drive to sort through all the details from suggestions on wardrobe and things to pack to giving realistic feedback on timelines for your special day. We are so grateful to know these two and the quality of images we received is better than we could’ve dreamed.

    From getting ready with our nearest and dearest the morning of our wedding, to a first look in Hoh Rainforest, followed by a ceremony on Ruby Beach with close family and friends, to portraits in other parts of the national park before dinner, they captured all the moments and more. And that was just day 1! A slow morning with coffee, breakfast and brewery before our hiking and picnic sunset adventure allowed us to explore the North Cascades in addition to Olympic National Park on our more traditional wedding day. Lauren & Travis are a breath of fresh air to be around - genuine, fun and the kind of people you instantly feel comfortable around. Your wedding day (and photos to remember and relive it) should be captured by someone you connect with and trust. These two are just that and anyone would be lucky to work with them!”

    “Love Lorraine is the breath of fresh air every couple needs on their wedding day. When we first met Lauren + Travis, we hung out for 5 hours and didn’t even touch the topic of photography because we were lost in the moment. That is how our experience remained with them, in the moment. The way Lauren captured us felt so natural and comfortable. She posed us when needed, but a majority of the time we were just being ourselves, again, in the moment. Both Lauren + Travis are calm, attentive, and although we didn’t run into any issues, they both are quick on their feet with plan B. We trusted them to help us sculpt the wedding day timeline. When we got our gallery back, we felt the story of our intimate day unfold before us, chapter by chapter, in a beautifully curated collection of photographs.

    We had requested them to be our paparazzi, catching all the hugs, cheers and tears, which has allowed us to relive our big day moment by moment. They were exactly the amount of reassurance I needed to veer from wedding traditions and have a celebration that felt more like us. Who would think to have a ceremony part 1 for an intimate vow exchange and a ceremony part 2 to make it official in front of family and friends? Love, Lorraine! Trust me, the creative and crafted experience doesn’t end there. We will be forever grateful for the friendship we made, the comfort level they provided, and the quality of captured moments to hold close forever. Our recommendation is 10/10. Love, Lorraine understands the assignment.”
