Las Vegas elopement photographers who believe in love, marriage, and adventure.

We're big believers in having fun with our couples. Telling a love story that is true to the two of you is our biggest goal and ultimate challenge, and we have the best time making magic together every step of the way!

Whether you're planning a big wedding in the city or an intimate elopement on a mountaintop, we're up for anything. If you're a couple who values your relationship above all, you’re down to get a little dirty (that's what she said), and who can put up with us probably quoting The Office all day -

YOU CAN STOP LOOKING. YOU FOUND US. WE’RE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHERS.

About Us

I’m an adventure-loving coffee snob, and I work with folks on their Best Days Ever. If my business were a person, it could get its driver’s license this year, which kinda blows my mind. I’ve been lucky enough to shoot weddings and elopements all across the US, from Yosemite National Park to Brooklyn and everywhere in between! Good views & good company are two of my faves.

When I’m not working with badass couples, you can find me camping and hiking with my husband, Aubrey, and our 9-year-old daughter. Side note - I’m unabashedly obsessed with my husband. We’ve been married for 15 years, and he’s my absolute best bud. We got married as mere infants (at 21 and 22) and we do basically everything together. We’re huge baseball fans (Go Braves!), and we’ve been known to drive through the night for a good hike or a great concert. We’re avid travelers, and are never not planning our next big trip (usually planned with climbing or backpacking on the itinerary). We’re also a crazy cat family - we have two cats, Freddie & Louise, and our daughter refers to them as her siblings 🥲

We have recently relocated from Atlanta to Las Vegas, and we’re jumping right into photographing elopements in Las Vegas, elopements at Lake Tahoe, engagement sessions at Arches National Park, and everything in between. Las Vegas is central to so many amazing outdoor destinations, and we’re happy to help you plan the photos of your dreams. We are always up for an adventure, and our passports are ready.

If you’re planning an elopement, wedding, anniversary session, engagement photos, anything involving a backpack and a tent: let’s talk!

🏳️‍🌈 We are LGBTQ+ allies, and believe in equality for all! 🏳️‍🌈 I’m proud to not only support but also celebrate love and marriage for everyone worldwide. Because love is love and love always wins.

    Lauren was an absolute dream to work with. I knew I wanted a photographer who remained true to color and really would capture the essence of the day, and Lauren did that and beyond. In summer 2020, she was extremely flexible and patient as we worked to schedule our engagement photos around Covid restrictions and rain in the ATL summer. Our photos came out beautifully, and I knew we had made a great choice. But what stood out to me for Lauren was not only her stunning photos and amazing eye, but her easy ability to connect with people. She was so easy going and genuine with all of my friends and family. During a stressful time period where we were running late with photos before the ceremony, she was such a calming presence and felt like a friend I had known for years. She was so reassuring that we had captured what we needed and were doing fine. Her and her shooter captured our entire night in the most amazing way, without you even realizing they were there the majority of the time. We are blown away by our wedding album and will cherish it for years to come. If you are looking for a photographer who will truly capture the love and essence of your big day, Lauren is the choice for you!

    Lauren is one of the best creative professionals I have ever worked with, both in my personal and professional life. She is an incredibly talented artist. Her photography captures the magic of moments, that spark of life. She takes care to make her subjects feel comfortable and at-ease, empowering their natural beauty to come through. As a person, she's just as wonderful -- Lauren is organized, respectful, and thoughtful, and the people she collaborates with (Aubrey, Alexia, among others) are equally fantastic. She leads an intentional organization that has been flexible and understanding throughout the pandemic. I cannot recommend Lauren Rae Photography enough.
