Hello!
I’m Lauren, a Boston wedding and family photographer.
Whether you stumbled here by accident or a friend sent you my way; I’m happy you have found me.
Over the past 10+ years I’ve had the opportunity to meet and photograph amazing couples and sweet families all throughout New England. It’s such a joy, I can’t imagine doing anything else. Being invited into people’s lives to celebrate with them and to document a day filled with so much love, excitement, and anticipation is a pleasure and a privilege!
My business grew out of love for the camera, story telling, and a strong desire to create. After college, and a few less than personally satisfying jobs, I pursued my passion and started Lauren Methia Photography.
Outside of my work you can find me spending time with my husband and daughters Eden and Lucy. We also have a new family member, our Aussiedoodle Ollie.
PHILOSOPHY/STYLE
Ever since I started photographing weddings I’ve been drawn to the genuine emotions, energy, feeling, and the spontaneity at each one. Every relationship, every family, every celebration is unique. That’s the beauty, and fun of it.
My favorite images are the unexpected, the spontaneous ones. And I’m lucky to work with couples who feel the same. I don’t work from a shot-list (except for group formals) as this limits my ability to capture those such moments: the hugs, the laughter, the tears.
The raw in-between moments that count.
For me, it’s about connecting personally with my subjects with the goal of telling a story. 5, 10, 20 years from now I hope the images evoke feeling and bring my couples and their families back to all the goodness that was their wedding day.
I also love a pretty landscape – a rolling mountain in Vermont, a big blooming tree, a city skyline. So, I’m often blending the
surroundings and environment into my work and strive for simplistic, clean, and lively images using mostly natural light.
I’m flattered that my work has been featured on popular blogs including: Style Me Pretty, Well Wed, Borrowed and Blue, Bliss Celebrations, Ever Ours, Inspired By This, Carats & Cakes, Love & Lobster, and in publications including: Smitten Magazine, BRIDES magazine, Martha’s Vineyard Magazine Island Weddings, and Southern New England Weddings. In 2017 I was named one of Boston’s Best by The Improper Boston (a sweet surprise).
Although I work primarily in New England, I’m available to shoot most anywhere. I love to travel and explore new places. Please use the contact button –> to get in touch, and be sure to check out my full portfolio here and featured celebrations here.
Please note that I am only booking small weddings and elopements for 2023 and family portraits. Please contact me for more information. I look forward to hearing from you!
