Lauren Nicole Imagery began as a college side hustle while I was pursuing an art education degree at Missouri State University. Armed with a nice camera and a passion for capturing moments, it was a fellow classmate who saw my work and suggested I start charging for my photography. Fast forward ten years, and I've had the privilege of photographing over two hundred weddings—each one still fills me with excitement and joy.

​

My love for photography blossomed in high school when I took my very first class. There, an incredible teacher ignited my creative spirit and guided me towards my true artistic calling—photography. The magic of developing film in the darkroom captivated me, and I drew inspiration from my uncle, who pursued photography alongside his career.

​

After almost a decade in public education, I decided to follow my heart and pursue my photography business full time. This journey has taken me from Springfield, MO to Kansas City, MO, and now I proudly call west county St. Louis home, where my husband and I have settled. While I primarily serve the St. Louis metropolitan area, I'm always up for an adventure. Don't hesitate to inquire about destination events—I’ve captured beautiful moments in places like Colorado, Washington, and Canada, and my bucket list of dream locations is ever-growing.

​

Photography has been my constant source of joy for the past decade, and I’m thrilled to dedicate myself fully to giving my clients the best experience they could imagine. If you're looking for a photographer who will skillfully document every moment with breathtaking results and ensure your experience is enjoyable and stress-free, you've come to the right place. I firmly believe that having fun is an essential ingredient in capturing the true essence of any moment.

​

With excitement and creativity,

Lauren Schlesselman
