  • I do not currently offer video services, but I am learning! I do often shoot some bonus video clips, but it’s no replacement for a real videographer.

    I can recommend some great videographers if you need!

  • Yes!


    I’ve been shooting it for a few years, but still know there is more to learn, so I currently offer it at cost of film and scanning + developing.

    To see a dedicated film gallery, just ask me for the link!

  • I’m located in the Niagara Region of Ontario (St.Catharines, to be exact), but I LOVE to travel anywhere I possibly can.

    I often shoot in British Columbia and the east coast, where I already have accommodation options. For this reason, I always offer some pretty amazing deals for weddings across Canada and beyond!

    I truly just love to travel so if you are having a wedding somewhere outside of Ontario, please don’t hesitate to get in touch! Travel weddings often come with bonus coverage like day-before rehearsal coverage and a venue check.

    Rates differ per location and service.

  • While I will definitely take posed and natural looking photos of the family and bridal party on the wedding day, I also devote a lot of time to capturing candid photos. My goal is to capture the relationships between the bride and groom, their friends, and their families. It is to represent your love in its truest photographic form. I want to capture the intimate moments, the small details, and the moments you missed or just don’t remember as the day will surely become a blur!

    I prefer to shoot natural light outside however I will use flashes where I feel it will be beneficial, including the reception.

  • Boudoir photography is one of my favourite to shoot and definitely available!

    Rates depend on the location (if a rental is necessary) and if you would like to add hair and makeup services.

    Please reach out for a boudoir gallery link.

  • Typically, most wedding photos will be received within approximately four to twelve weeks after the wedding day, depending on how late in the year your wedding is. Turnaround times from June to November are usually on the longer end.

    This is because I go through all of the images personally, and retouch each one to ensure that all of your photos are of the highest quality. I also tend to deliver a lot of photos, so it takes me a bit of time to do that right!

    For a faster turnaround time, an expedited editing fee of $500 will get you your photos in just 7 days!



  • Gift cards are available for pretty much any kind of shoot, with the most popular being family, newborn, and engagement sessions.

    I have also had guests purchase gift cards for the wedding couple to use on prints after the wedding!

  • Yes!


    I have a studio in downtown St.Catharines where I often shoot headshots, some product photography, family, and couples sessions.

    It’s not too big in there, so best for groups of 1-4 people unless you’re crammed in there.

  • Mainly weddings, families, music, theatre and events, headshots, and boudoir, and travel/wildife!

    My main focus is weddings, but I honestly kind of like to shoot everything, it keeps it fun and fresh! Shooting different kinds of photography I think leads me to being able to handle more lighting situations in weddings better, since weddings are sometimes every kind of photography wrapped into one big day!


"For as long as I've had friends getting married I've recommended they go to Lauren, and none of them has been disappointed.

When it was finally my turn to get married there was no doubt about who we'd go with, and Lauren delivered impeccably on every front. Despite our wedding having bonkers logistics (multiple venues, etc.) Lauren was ahead of the game at every turn and gave us so many incredible photos to remember our day.

She's the best photographer you could hope for to get you through a long busy day."

We are so thankful to have found Lauren for our engagement & wedding day photography. She is truly an artist at what she does, and is able to capture the moment beautifully.

Throughout the entire process leading up to the big day, Lauren was always quick to respond to any concerns or questions and was so accommodating. The entire wedding day photography went so smoothly, and Lauren & her partner were professional and prompt. Our guests could not stop complimenting our sneak peak photos & we are so excited to start framing the portraits! Laurens style is absolutely beautiful and is exactly what we were looking for. Thank you a million!!

Lauren did our engagement photos and our wedding photos, and we could not be happier!!! We just received our wedding photos back and they are absolutely stunning - Lauren captured all the special moments of our wedding day, both the planned/posed shots as well as many candid shots of us and our wedding guests. Looking through our photos felt like reliving our wedding day all over again :) Her editing was fantastic.

Lauren was fantastic and very easy to work with, very accommodating in meeting with us to talk about what we were hoping for, and had some great suggestions for photo opportunities - some of my favorite shots were from Lauren's suggestion, she has a very keen eye! Lauren is super nice and easy going, her calm demeanor really helped to relax us during our engagement photos.

We are very happy we had Lauren as our photographer, and would highly recommend her!

"Lauren was an absolute pleasure to work with. I wanted photos of my family of three captured that didn’t look posed or scripted, and Lauren delivered above and beyond. She made us feel comfortable and at ease, it was just like having a friend over. Our photos turned out stunning and have become treasured family memories that we will continue to look back on fondly for years to come. Highly recommend Lauren!"

We cannot say enough about Lauren's photography skills and style. She has completely blown us away with her work and her amazing ability to capture the moment so perfectly.

We were worried about posing for our engagement and wedding photos because we get awkward in those situations, but Lauren walked us through everything and was great at directing ideas for shots and poses! We received many compliments from wedding guests on Lauren's friendly attitude and work ethic

We highly recommend Lauren Garbutt Photography for engagement and wedding photography. Thank you so much Lauren!"

"I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside Lauren over the past 2 years. She’s professional, punctual and so much fun to be around. Her enthusiastic nature is infectious and can set the most camera shy person at ease. Her work has helped me both build my brand and refine my professional aesthetic. I’d happily recommend her to anyone looking for photography services!"
