About lauren spinelli photo co

lauren spinelli photo co

owner & mario kart extraordinaire

Based in Jersey City, I've been photographing weddings since 2010. I have two degrees in photography and wouldn't change a moment of what I do or how I got here. I spent 5 years producing celebrity photo shoots for magazines like Time Out and InStyle, so keeping cool under fast-paced pressure is kind of my thing. I'm always trying to push the envelope with what I do, whether that's finding a way to make better photos or optimize your experience with me.

I want to make sure your photos reflect you and your partner. I'm a calm and quiet presence, but also your hype team when you need it. I'm here to direct you when you need it and make sure that your photos effortlessly reflect the two of you by giving you prompts that get you forgetting about the camera, having fun and just being yourselves with each other. Not only do my photographs feature bold and true to life color, but I am there for you every step of the way. I am honored to work with you and I want you to LOVE your photography experience, so customer service and efficiency are hugely important to me.

    Picture Perfect

    Lauren & her team brought out so much personality and love in our photos. We immediately bonded with Lauren on our engagement shoot, where she traveled from NJ to deep Brooklyn to shoot us at our local dive bar. She made us feel calm, guided us when needed, and made the whole experience feel natural. Also helped that the photos turned out amazing! That energy absolutely carried into our wedding day. We did a first look and Lauren caught all the moments, all the love. What could have been a leadup full of nerves turned into another fun and comforting session. Lauren has a wonderful eye for detail, thrives in the chaotic energy that a wedding brings, and delivers photos that will last a lifetime. We were blown away with how she captured us. She’ll bring that to you too.

    Incredible

    Lauren is THE BEST photographer out there. My wedding photos are unreal. She knows how to capture the exact vibes of the day in a super authentic and beautiful way. Our photos came out candid and with movement and energy, versus posed and stiff. She also is SO CALM and really brought great relaxed energy to our day. Book her!!

    Could not recommend Lauren enough!

    Lauren was absolutely AMAZING to work with from start to finish. My wedding was in March 2026 and I miss her! The scheduling/coordination process was seamless, and where do I begin on our photos... they are STUNNING. Both the portraits and candid moments were captured so beautifully, and the way Lauren edits her photos makes them feel so genuine and timeless. Lauren kept us moving on a tight timeline as we had a lot of shots that we wanted, but was incredibly prepared and organized throughout the whole experience. Lauren brought such a calming, light presence to our wedding day. We got our photos back quickly which was an added bonus. Could not recommend her more!

    HIRE LAUREN

    We had such a great experience working with Lauren Spinelli from start to finish. Lauren's communication was friendly and quick—she answered our questions fast and gave us all the info we needed to feel prepared. On our wedding day, she made us feel relaxed in front of the camera and directed us in ways that felt natural, not stiff or posed. She kept the energy up throughout the day, which made everything fun instead of stressful. The photos turned out stunning and really captured who we are as a couple. Her work is professional and authentic, and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer to document our special day.
