Great engagement photos for my daughter and her future husband. From Lauren Roberts Photography.read more

Planning to ask a woman to spend the rest of her life with you isn't simple. Planning it from over…read more4,000 miles away has its own set of challenges. After successfully using the internet to find about a dozen photographers (no hits, all misses) in the Anchorage area, I knew I needed more direction. Finding Lauren Roberts (the brains, talent, and amazingness behind Beauty Board Media) was the answer to my questions. Even while on a work-trip outside of Alaska, Lauren fielded my call and took some time to sit in a quiet place and chat with me about what exactly I was looking to do. I wanted my proposal to my girlfriend to be caught on camera so we could share that special moment with our friends and family all over the world. No big deal. Lauren and I spoke for days before she even started talking about the cost of this cross-country production I was planning. A couple from Texas celebrating the 4th of July in Anchorage with a proposal under the fireworks at a small college summer league baseball game. She was almost as excited about this as I was! The words "swoon" and "romantic" were thrown around excessively. Lauren promises, Lauren delivers. She brought along a second shooter to catch the moment in photos while she masterfully shot our video. At the time of writing this review the video has not yet been completed; we asked Lauren to take extra time and provided her recently with some other home video "gems" to work with. Like I said, her promise of a keepsake production cannot be ignored. It's amazing what Beauty Board Media has done for past clients (check out the website) and what she's done for Priscilla and me. The photos are outrageous. We can't stop looking at them. A few are being printed and framed once we decide which of them we like more than the others. It's a difficult task when each picture is a masterpiece. Our friends and family love the pictures. Our only regret is that Lauren is in Alaska and we're in Texas! We can't thank her enough. Her talent and passion captured our engagement; something no amount of money could recreate or duplicate. And now we have a way to revisit it forever. If you have any questions just message me. I'll always be a fan.

I am 77 years old and I wanted to do something special and personal for my family this year for Christmas. I decided to do my family DNA heritage research and have a photograph done. Way not my favorite thing to do and I kept procrastinating until it was middle of November. Did that bother Renee? If it did she never showed it...even when I'm sure she was pulling her hair. I wanted Black and White and she delivered wayyyyy more than I thought possible at my age. She worked with me until we got something I liked and hoped my family would love. They did! Renee is more than a Professional. She's a Professional with heart and desire to give you the best!

Our daughter spent a lot of time studying in coffee shops so that was where we decided one shoot would be. Another shoot was in a marshy area, surrounded by nature, weather was a factor as it can be in September and October, so we did part of the session the next day when weather improved and we chose modern and natural settings.

Like I mean a work of ART! I can't say it enough she's super worth it! She's easy to work with! She makes me feel super comfortable and confident even though I'm always anxious lol. Since I booked her as my wedding photographer, she met up with me to go over the important moments and things I wanted captured for our upcoming wedding. Let me tell you she was super insightful and really listened to me and what I wanted. If you're booking with a photographer hands down she's perfect! 10/10 would recommend.

I am proud to have our friends and family posting their Photobooth snapshots on social media. Matt was at our venue and ready to go from the time guests arrived at 1:30 until we all called it a night at 9:30. Our guests loved their ability to print out multiple pictures instantly right then and there. They were also able to text or email themselves a digital copy or GIF. Matt spent days working to create the perfect Harry Potter (yes, Harry Potter) themed print outs. He designed a personalized version of the Daily Prophet. To wrap up a perfect evening we received a video compilation of all of the photos taken. I would absolutely recommend Matt with the photo emporium for any company, or personal event. I can see myself throwing events just to have this much fun again!

I saw her invitations and hair ornments but the ideas I had for our wedding weren't on her site. I asked her what she'd suggest because our wedding was a very untraditional destination wedding. She went above and beyond my expectations working with me to create our wedding invitations and bridesmaids' hair ornments to make sure they were just as one of a kind as our wedding was.
