About

Overview & Vibe

Lauren — Loz to most people — has photographed weddings out of Newcastle since 2013, and the published work runs from a headland ceremony under Nobbys through gelato stops on Hunter Street to golden hour on the Merewether rocks. Beyond Newcastle she has shot at Tocal Homestead, Circa 1876, Peppers Creek and Millwood Vineyard at Orange, and further afield in Tuscany and Bali. The tone is loud, warm and unposed.

Style & Approach

She describes the work as luxury, editorial photography for the fashion-forward couple, and says she has been obsessed since 2013 with the raw, the candid and the beautiful parts of people’s lives. Her method is disarmament rather than direction: making jokes at her own expense, prompting couples into quirky and downright weird things so the awkwardness goes, and being — her words — the number one hype girl. Anyone worried about being camera-shy is told plainly that she will out-weird them.

Ideal For

Couples who feel stiff in front of a lens and want someone who will talk them out of it, and who like the idea of a photographer who deliberately keeps her calendar small so each wedding gets the time it deserves. The range she covers is wide — a backyard wedding, an elopement for two, or a large party — and she travels, having photographed weddings in Italy and Indonesia as readily as at Merewether.

The Need-to-Knows

Three collections. Collection One is full day coverage with a second shooter and a bespoke album at nine hours; Collection Two is full day coverage at eight; Collection Three is half day at five, and coverage starts at five hours tailored to the schedule. Every collection delivers a password-protected online gallery with shop access and files sized for printing at any size, and the two larger ones add a presentation box and prints. Popular additions are a nine by twelve inch fine art album, four or five rolls of thirty-five millimetre film, pre or post wedding coverage, a second photographer and an engagement session. Prices are sent on enquiry.

Standout Feature

The album is treated as a product in its own right rather than an afterthought — handcrafted, personalised, six fashion-forward design options, a choice of leather or linen cover with embossing, and nothing sent to print until the couple is completely happy. It is collected from her Newcastle office or shipped anywhere in Australia at no extra cost.
