" Lauren helped bring our vision to life and was very open to anything we wanted to do. She also picked up my wedding flowers the day of which was a huge timesaver for me."

You can relax and live in the moment..

Hawaii proposal, wedding and elopement photography for couples who want their experience to feel just as incredible as their photos.

​

Lauren Wylie Photography has been photographing couples in Hawaii since 2015. From intimate beach elopements to epic adventure elopements and unforgettable surprise proposals, I've photographed hundreds of couples throughout the Hawaiian Islands.

​

There are so many ways to celebrate your love in Hawaii, and there's no right way to do it. Maybe you are imagining a peaceful beach setting, an adventurous hike to an incredible lookout, or somewhere completely unexpected. Whatever you're dreaming up, I'll help you navigate the details and create an experience that feels completely like you.

Your day shouldn't feel like a production. It should feel like you. 

 

My goal is to give you beautiful, candid photographs while making the process easy and stress-free as possible. I'll help with the planning, location ideas, permits, timelines,  and logistics, so you can spend less time worrying about the details and more time actually enjoying the experience.

​

Beautiful photos are important. But the experience you have while you get them matters, too.

Julia B., Bride

"Ok where do I begin? Honestly choosing Lauren to be our photographer was in the top 3 best decisions throughout the wedding planning process.
 
She is a true artist but also so incredibly organized I couldn’t be more grateful that we were fortunate enough to work with her. I felt her genuine excitement and love on our wedding day. She captured amazing details and put so much care and thought into every shot.
She is kind but also assertive which is so necessary when it comes to wrangling the troops for the group shots on the day of the wedding.
 
I could go on and on about her professionalism on that day. But she really outdid herself after the big day by working tirelessly on the most amazing preview of photos we received just days later while on our honeymoon. I can’t say enough about her, only that I’m sad it’s over!"
