Send me a message here or email me at lauren@laurenpelesky.com. I primarily photograph weddings, couples/engagements, portraits, and brand photography. I'm open to different ideas as well! If you have a photoshoot idea that doesn't fall under one of those categories, send me a message; I'd love to hear what you have in mind!

I'm based in Los Angeles with frequent travel to Chicago. I love to travel so if you have a wedding/photoshoot outside of those two places please don't hesitate to reach out! A travel fee for weddings outside of Los Angeles may apply. If I'll already be in your area, travel fees are waived. Send me a message if you'd like to know my up to date travel schedule.

My turnaround time depends on the type of shoot and my schedule. A short session is usually delivered within 2 weeks. A wedding gallery is promised within 8 weeks, however, I do my best to get all photos back ASAP!

My approach is a mix between documentary and editorial. For the editorial part, I love to set up those magazine-like portrait shots mostly for couples portraits, wedding party photos, and sometimes family portraits fi time allows. I often incorporate a lot of movement and interaction between everyone so it feels very natural and easy. For the rest of the day, and even in between those shots, I take a documentary style approach which just means I do my best to be a fly on the wall and pay close attention to capture candid moments as they happen naturally. People often say their wedding goes by very fast in a blur, so my goal is for you to be able to look through the photos and remember every part of the day as it happened naturally rather than to remember your photo or video team directing every moment. Of course, every couple is different, so above all else, I do my best to adapt my shooting style to best fit the flow and needs of your day.

Every shoot is different! Some events require multiple photographers, travel abroad, and a full weekend of photography. Some are just a few hours of me documenting your love at the courthouse. My average wedding client invoice falls between $3,500 - $5,500, but this number could be a lot more or less depending on what you need. Please send me a message for a more accurate quote!

You will hear from me via email within 2-3 business days. For weddings or large events we will schedule a call to meet, go over details, and ensure we're a great fit. After the call, I will send over a contract. When you're ready to book you'll sign and I'll send over an invoice. When your deposit is paid (typically 50% of the total) I'll lock in your date on my calendar and we're all set! I'll always be available leading up to your event to help you plan or answer any questions you may have for me!
