New here? Hi!! I’m Lauren 👋💙
I’m the photographer behind Lasting Embers Photography, and if you’re wondering who you’d actually be spending your elopement day with… here’s a little about me!
I’m a Colorado elopement photographer, dog mom to Daisy 🐾, scuba diver, avid traveler, lover of good food, and someone who is always down to explore somewhere new.
Outside of photography, I love thriller novels, a good Chipotle burrito bowl, LOTR, working out, and traveling any chance I get. I will happily spend my day hiking through the mountains and then spend my evening on the couch watching a scary movie or cartoons 😂
I’ve also been told I’m a “textbook Sagittarius,” so… do with that information what you will. 😂♐️
Give me mountains, a road trip, a cool trail, or the chance to get underwater with some sharks or sea critters, and I’m happy 😂
When I’m behind the camera, I care about a lot more than just taking beautiful photos. I want to get to know you (and your dog), help you plan a day you’re genuinely excited about, find incredible places to explore, and document all the little pieces of it along the way.
I spend a LOT of time exploring Colorado and scouting locations firsthand, from mountain passes and alpine lakes to waterfalls, forests, overlooks, and little mountain towns. 🏔️ And if you want to bring your dog along? Even better. 😂🐾
Basically, I’m here for couples who want beautiful photos and a really freaking good time getting them.
Swipe through to get to know me, see some of the places I photograph, learn a little about what it’s like to work with me, and read some kind words from the amazing humans who have trusted me with their days. 🤍
And since you now know a bunch of random things about me, tell me something random about YOU in the comments!
