I’m Lauren Perrin, a Grand Rapids wedding photographer documenting candid, story-driven weddings and elopements across Michigan and the Midwest.


Your wedding day is more than a timeline. It’s a living, breathing story filled with emotion, connection, and movement.


My approach blends documentary authenticity with an editorial edge, creating images that feel like your day, not something staged or forced.


I photograph weddings throughout Grand Rapids, Detroit, Holland, Saugatuck, the Lakeshore, Traverse City, and Northern Michigan for couples who want something intentional, elevated, and real.
