The Experience
Choosing Showboat Media Co. as your wedding photography team means more than just hiring someone to take pictures—it’s about having a team dedicated to capturing your day in a way that feels real, joyful, and true to you. Lauren and her team focus on the moments that matter most—the quiet glance during your vows, the belly laughs with your best friends, or that tearful hug with your mom. They’re all about making the experience feel effortless and fun, so you can stay present and enjoy every second. When you look back at your photos, they won’t just remind you of what the day looked like—they’ll bring you right back to how it felt to be surrounded by the people you love.
Your creative partner-in-crime, day-of dress fluffer, and genuine friend…
...that just so happens to also be your photographer.
Lauren and the team are beyond excited to be part of this incredible journey with you. They get it—this is one of the biggest moments of your life, and their goal is to keep things relaxed, fun, and totally you. The more everyone is comfortable and having a good time, the more your photos will reflect your genuine personality and those once-in-a-lifetime moments. That’s when the magic happens—and the Showboat team can’t wait to capture it all.

FAQ
How Do you photograph weddings?
I love being by your side to help you before your wedding day. I'll send you a guide to help you organizing your day, the best moments for the couple photos, the different lights... and it's really exciting for me to receive photos of your dress, shoes, invites...! On your wedding day, all I want to capture is the feelings, the mood, the emotions, the calm and crazy moments and all the details that make your wedding unique. The posed photos are important, but I focus on your photos being about your wedding day, not your wedding day being about your photos.
Where are you based and do you travel?
I'm based out of Manhattan, Kansas and yes I love to travel! If you want me to photograph your story, it will require a travel fee, depending on where it takes place. But no worries, I always try to find the cheapest way to travel to you!
When will we get our photos?
Your will receive an online gallery link with all your photos within maximum 8 weeks (sometimes less depending on the season I photograph your story). I will also send you a customized flash drive and prints in the mail. You can download all the photos from the gallery but also share them, choose your favorites, and also order further prints! Each couple will be asked to favorite at least 50 photos in the gallery that they want placed into a customized gift included with each wedding as a thank you from me.
How many pictures will we receive?
For every hour of wedding coverage you are guaranteed 100 images. I always choose quality rather than quantity and that's why I will choose the best and more significant photos to tell your story. (But between us I am a chronic overshooter and you will probably end up with more ;)
Do you offer payment plans?
Wedding photography is a huge investment - I get that. I am more than happy to set up a payment plan to better accommodate you and make the whole process that much less stressful.
How do we reserve our date?
Reserving your date is super easy! First, we’ll schedule a consult call to chat about your vision, answer any questions, and make sure we’re the perfect fit for each other. After that, I’ll send over a contract to review and sign. Once that’s all set, you'll secure your date with a booking deposit. And just like that, you’re officially on my calendar! I can’t wait to capture your special day!
Go all in. Embrace your unique path.
