2011 in Review – Weddings & Engagements
At the beginning of each year, I like to take a moment to look back through everything that we photographed the year before. I feel fortunate to report that 2011 was a very good year for us. We photographed 22 weddings, 9 engagement sessions, and one save-the-date mini session. While that may not seem like [...]
Meg and Jay Engaged in LA!
Photographing Meg and Jay’s engagement session was one the highlights of my photography career. If only every day could be like the one pictured below and if only everyone could be so lucky to call Meg and Jay their friends. I first met Meg during our freshman year of college at the University of Georgia [...]

Brandy and Adiam, August 27th 2011
Brandy and Adiam’s wedding day was one of the most exciting and action-packed celebrations that we’ve ever had the opportunity to photograph. They were married on Saturday, August 27th at The Madeline Parish in NE Portland, and their reception followed at the Adrianna Hill Grand Ballroom in downtown, Portland. As a couple, Brandy and Adiam are radiant. [...]
Shelly and Nathan, August 5th 2011
Love. That is what this next set of photos is all about. Love and playfulness wrapped up into one sweet couple that is Shelly and Nathan. You may recognize these two from their adorable engagement session that we did in and around the Pearl District last fall. We had such a great time that chilly [...]
Laura and Eric, July 16th 2011
This next set of images reminds me that nothing can diminish true love or the human spirit. Just six days before they were to be married, Laura and Eric heard the news that their wedding venue, the View Point Inn, had been destroyed in a fire. With less than a week to find a new [...]
Melanie & Chris, July 9th 2011
Of all of the photos we took on Melanie and Chris’ wedding day, the one below is my favorite. The reason why I’m smitten with this photo is because it’s sweet and playful, much like Melanie and Chris and their lovely wedding celebration. This adorable couple was married at a private residence in Estacada, Oregon [...]
Keri and Ricky, July 3rd 2011
Keri and Ricky are one of the happiest couples I’ve ever met. You may remember these two from their engagement session last December at Peninsula Park. During their session, Lincoln and I learned that Keri and Ricky were high school sweethearts that were awarded the superlative of ‘Mr. and Mrs. Sunshine’ their senior year of [...]
Stephen and Whitney, June 25th 2011
Sometimes I’m at a loss for words on what to write for each post. It’s not because I don’t have any thoughts or feelings about the photos or the people in them. It is simply because I feel that the photos tell a much better story than my words ever could. I believe that this [...]
Jessica and Paul, February 18th 2011
Hello and happy March! It’s hard to believe that it’s been a month since we’ve had a new blog post. February was a very busy month here at Lauren Brooks Photography and I’m happy to report that March is following suit. It’s always fun when I’m spending more time behind the camera than behind the [...]

Jenny and Michael, December 31st 2010
I can’t believe it’s here: our very last wedding from 2010! Lincoln and I bid goodbye to 2010 and rung in 2011 documenting Jenny and Michael’s incredible New Year’s Eve wedding. If you follow our blog, you may recognize Jenny and Michael from their early autumn engagement session at Howell Territorial Park. Lincoln had such [...]
Megan and Eli, December 18th 2010
I hope that 2011 is off to a great start for everyone! I’m still reflecting on what a awesome year 2010 was. In fact, I still have a few photo shoots that I would like to share with you from the past year. Among them was the sweet and intimate wedding of Megan and Eli. [...]
Rachel and Jason, October 16th 2010
I love a classically romantic wedding. Red and white roses, candlelight, tulle, and a gorgeous October day were just a few of the things that made Rachel and Jason’s wedding beautiful and incredibly romantic. Held in at the World Trade Center in downtown Portland, Rachel and Jason could not have picked a more perfect evening [...]
Sarah and Jeris, September 5th 2010
Great weather, a gorgeous bride, a handsome groom, so many lovely guests, and a great dance party. These details only scratch the surface of what made up Sarah and Jeris’ wedding day. This fun couple was married on September 5th, 2010 at The Aerie at Eagle Landing. What a beautiful setting it was for an [...]
Jessica and Juan, September 4th 2010
I love September weddings. I say this every year because, frankly, it’s true. Jessica and Juan’s wedding kicked off my favorite wedding month with style, fun, and romance. Here’s a little background information about the bride and groom: Jessica is from Portland, Juan is from Argentina. They met, fell in love, and now live in [...]
Emily and Ross, February 20th 2010
I’m very excited to share this next set of wedding photos with you! Ross and Emily’s February 20th wedding was an incredible, action-packed, emotional, fun-filled, joyous event that I can only begin to describe in photographs. Going back through the images, it’s hard to believe that their wedding took place in the middle of February [...]
Rebecca and Shawn, January 30th 2010
Warm. Kind. Charming. Magnetic. Spirited. These are just a few words that Rebecca and Shawn’s friends and family used to describe them as individuals and as a couple on their wedding day. It’s no surprise at all. The first time we met Rebecca and Shawn, I was immediately struck by their wit and sense of [...]
Danielle and Kevin Featured in Spring 2010 Issue of Portland Bride & Groom!
I’m thrilled to announce that Danielle and Kevin’s wedding has been featured in Portland Monthly’s Bride & Groom Spring 2010 Issue! If you follow my blog regularly, you may remember Danielle and Kevin’s absolutely breath-taking, August 9th 2009 wedding at Kruger’s Farm. Everything about their wedding was so lovely: the couple, the location, the food, [...]
Erin and Eric, January 2nd 2010
Erin and Eric are truly one of the sweetest couples that we’ve had the opportunity to photograph. When I met them last November for their engagement portrait session, I knew that their wedding was going to be amazing. Amazing, it was. On January 2nd 2010, Erin and Eric were married at the Treasury Ballroom in [...]
Kicking Off 2010!
Hello and Happy New Year! I know this post is a little belated, but we’ve had a wonderfully busy start to 2010! In the last eleven days, we’ve photographed Erin and Eric’s beautiful wedding at The Treasury (photos to come later this week), launched a new website, participated in our first bridal show, the Art [...]
Bianca and Ant, December 13th 2009
I’m very excited to post this next wedding. Although I thought that we had photographed our last wedding of 2009 in October, it turns out that we had one more in store for us: the wedding of Bianca and Ant! Bianca is a friend of mine, a talented hair stylist, and one of the very [...]
