bout the Filmmaker

Lauren has always loved telling stories. Since the day her parents let her pick up their JVC camcorder when she was a kid, she’s been capturing people and their stories. Even while she was in college getting her Bachelor’s degree in digital media did filming weddings ever cross her mind. So when a friend asked her to film their wedding in the summer of 2016, Lauren never thought anything of it.

I have always loved video and storytelling. It's been a God given talent that I was born with. Ever since I picked up my parents old JVC video camcorder (yes I am a 90’s girl through and through) and started making random home videos, I realized I loved telling stories through the lens of a camera. I had no idea what I wanted to do with it, but I always knew that I had the talent and passion for it. I went to college and got a Bachelor’s degree in digital media and a minor in writing. Yet I had no idea what I wanted to do with it. The same year I graduated in 2016 I was asked to film a friend’s wedding and I thought nothing of it. But 2 years later I was asked to film another friend’s wedding and something changed. I originally started my business as Archer Media Productions. Soon realizing that name felt too sterile and corporate I landed on Blue Pine Films, with blue being my favorite color and my love of pine trees. Fast forward to 2021 when I moved away from my childhood home of 3 generations, the house we ended up with was on Pine Creek Road and had BLUE PINE PANELING all over the house! I didn't even realize it existed, let alone being in our new house. It was a sign. Curiosity getting the best of me, I looked it up and blue pine wood is wood damaged from bug infestation, the chemicals from their saliva and the pine wood turning it a faint blue in streaks. It kind of speaks to the idea that through trials, hardship and devastation, there is beauty that comes out of it. Something I can personally relate to and that I know many couples can as well. I knew that I wanted to be a storyteller and I decided that I could lean into my unique love and talent for storytelling as an author and utilize that to stand out in the wedding industry.

Lauren was an amazing person from the beginning of our journey, all the way till the end! From the moment we spoke on the phone I knew she was going to be the perfect person to film our wedding. Most brides are doing this for the 1st time and have no clue how to navigate most things about planning a wedding, and Lauren was so helpful in organizing the timeline and getting things all in order. Her energy is unmatched. Her stories/films are one of a kind! I can’t thank her enough for putting our film together that was just authentically us! We love it! Thank you!

Stop looking - you've found your videographer!! Lauren does amazing work! We hired her a bit last minute, but she still made us feel like top priority the whole time. She listened to our vision of the wedding and video and captured everything perfectly! I can't imagine not having this keepsake now and wouldn't have wanted anyone else capturing our day.

for. She’s there for you all day long! If you are scared of being filmed and think you are going to come off awkward on a video, put your worries away. Lauren made all of our worries go away on our wedding day, everything felt so natural and nothing felt forced or awkward. She takes every step to ensure you get what you want from your video.

Every step of the way, from helping set up before the wedding to staying till the very end of the night to capture all of the shots we could have dreamed
