About Lauren Helsing Photography

Lauren Helsing Photography

Photographer

I’m Lauren, and i’m a wedding, couples, and family photographer based in Connecticut. My style blends natural candor, a touch of fine art, and posing when needed. I focus on capturing genuine expressions and interactions. My work balances color and black-and-white images, enveloped in a soft, warm aesthetic that highlights intimacy and real connection. I look forward to capturing your moments and celebrating your stories through my lens.

What sets me apart as a photographer is a blend of my education, unique style, and commitment to delivering your photos quickly. I earned my BFA in Photography from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, where I developed both a strong technical foundation and a distinctive artistic vision. My education has given me the skills and confidence to capture moments in a way that feels both authentic and beautifully composed. I strive to ensure that your memories are preserved not only with care but with a quick turnaround time, so you can relive those special moments as soon as possible. Now Booking 2025 Weddings!

    Stunning Photos & an Amazing Experience

    We couldn't be happier with our wedding photos! Every single picture came out absolutely perfect. She truly captured everything we hoped for. From the sweet, romantic moments between my husband and me to the incredible energy and fun of our celebration with family and friends. Looking through our gallery allows us to relive the entire day all over again. She was so accommodating throughout the entire process, easy to work with, and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. We are beyond grateful for the beautiful memories she captured and will treasure these photos forever. I would highly recommend her to any bride looking for a talented, professional, and wonderful photographer!

    Incredibly Talented

    Lauren did an outstanding job photographing our wedding reception. She is incredibly talented, has a great eye for capturing meaningful moments, and brings both creativity and professionalism to her work. Lauren took the time to listen to our vision and made sure our preferences were reflected throughout the event. The photos turned out beautifully, and we couldn't be happier with the results. I highly recommend Lauren for weddings and any special event—you will be in excellent hands.

    Engagement Sessions & Wedding Photos

    We had the best experience working with Lauren for our engagement and wedding photos! Lauren was great in helping us choose a location for our engagement pictures and working with her felt really easy. Every person who sees our engagement or wedding pictures raves about how great they came out (we agree). Additionally, Lauren turned our photos around super quickly, which was just an added bonus to our already amazing experience using her as our photographer!

    Our BEAUTIFUL Wedding Photos!

    Lauren was extremely professional, kind, and helped us out setting up chairs even when that was not part of her job. She was willing to help and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. Our wedding photos came out beautifully and I’m so glad we chose her for our special day! Not to mention, her pricing is unbeatable.

    Wedding

    Lauren photographed our wedding and also our engagement shoot. She was absolute magic! Handling the entire day with ease; she brought my vision to reality and truly captured all the details... her photos brought such emotion, such depth and beauty onto paper. Truly exquisite work.... we are so so happy and feel blessed to have worked with her. We look forward to you capturing our future moments-- and everything between. Thanks Lauren! Jenn & Joe


Depending on the size of your wedding, I’ll bring one or more assistant photographers.
Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness, as well as light skin retouching, to ensure they look beautiful.
You can expect about 80 to 100 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.
No, I prefer focusing on photography only, so you can get the best wedding pictures possible.
Typically, couples book me about 6-12 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame because things do open up!
I like to send out a sneak peak within one week of your wedding, and you can expect your full gallery within 3 weeks!
I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
In my years of experience as a photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted assistant. I’ll also provide you with a list of photographers from the many networking groups I’m in, so you can find the perfect replacement.
