Lauren Ashley Studios

Lauren Ashley Studios is a Chicago-based wedding photography and videography studio led by founder Lauren Ashley Grenda, with lead photographer Mallory and executive assistant Taylor on the team. The studio covers weddings ranging from intimate elopements to destination celebrations across Chicago and internationally, with a focus on candid emotion, detailed timelines, and documentary-style coverage of multi-cultural events. Lauren Ashley Grenda began her photography career shooting a friend's wedding with a beginner's camera, and the studio has since documented weddings at venues including the Chicago Langham, Patrick Haley Mansion, Giraffe Manor in Africa, and locations in Italy. Based in Chicago, Illinois, Lauren Ashley Studios is available for travel worldwide. Couples highlight the team's timeline management and advance venue coordination, quick turnaround including social media reels and sneak peeks within days and full galleries in roughly one to two weeks, and an ability to make guests and family members feel at ease in front of the camera.
