Travis & Lauren Danforth
As a husband and wife team, we have spent over a decade refining our craft — allowing us to develop a certain rhythm and understanding that allows us to work together effortlessly. We anticipate each other's perspectives and complement one another's approach, creating a dynamic that allows us to support you in being fully present on your wedding day.
Our work is rooted in documenting otherwise fleeting moments, both big and small, so that you are able to relive your wedding day for years to come.
On April 14, 2024, we celebrated our own wedding in Joshua Tree, California, surrounded by our closest people.We understand the depth of what you’re planning — not just through our work, but through the experience of planning our own.

We first met Lauren and Travis of Love, Lorraine for an adventure shoot (which ended up being our engagement shoot) and because we clicked so well and the quality of their work was incredible, we knew we had to use them for our elopement.
We decided to plan a week-long stay at an AIRBNB in Joshua Tree that would ultimately serve as our wedding venue. Note, we do not live in California, so having Lauren and Travis there for extra support, guidance was amazing. And, they are really fun to hangout with in general. I cannot recommend Lauren and Travis enough.”
Kind Words
From the couples we've worked with.
— Josh & Jordan Cross
Airbnb in Joshua Tree, California
“Truly could not imagine a better team to capture our big day. Lauren & Travis of Love, Lorraine are some of the kindest, understanding, and flexible people you will ever meet. As professionals who have been doing this for over 10 years, they are ready for any curveball thrown their way — and keep the excitement high no matter what. To me, this experience and adaptiveness is what sets them apart from other photographers out there.”
– Brian & Jenna Fulda
Waterfall Lodge & Retreat
Ben Lomond, California
“Lauren and Travis are not only incredibly talented, but also some of the nicest and easiest people to be around. It really makes your special day that much better knowing you are in good hands, and that your memories will be captured as magically as you experienced them. I cannot recommend them more.”
– Dylan & Aevery Young

Frequently Asked Questions
-
When you book Love, Lorraine, you're getting both of us — not one photographer and a second shooter that we hire out. As a married couple ourselves, we have a rhythm and understanding that comes from years of working side by side and genuinely knowing each other. That dynamic means we can be in two places at once, anticipate each other's moves, and capture your day from two perspectives seamlessly. As one of our couples put it: "On the day we became 'one,' it was inspiring to have photographers who also operated as 'one.'" That kind of connection shows in the photos.
-
We focus exclusively on photography. Over time, we’ve found that specializing allows us to be more present, more attentive, and more intentional with how your day is documented.
If video is something you’re considering, we’re always happy to recommend videographers whose work and approach align well with ours.
-
Our California wedding collections begin at $7,550. Most couples invest between $9,250-$12,000 for full-service single day and multi-day wedding documentation.
All standard travel within California is included in our pricing, so there are no additional travel fees unless your plans involve more remote or extended travel.
-
Every package includes both of us, — Lauren and Travis, as your photographers, high resolution and web size images delivered in an online gallery, behind-the-scenes iPhone videos from your day, consultation and planning meetings, a custom timeline, and exclusive planning resources.
We also offer add-ons like a fine art legacy album, welcome party coverage, a coffee table magazine, engagement session packages, and film photography.
All of our packages are a starting point, and can be customized to fit your unique wedding experience. -
We recommend full-day coverage to all of our couples. Six hours flies by faster than you'd think, and having us there all day means you don't have to rush a single moment. It also means we capture the full story — from the quiet getting-ready moments to the last dance — so you can relive every part of your day, not just the highlights. That said, we'll always help you figure out what makes the most sense for your specific day.
-
We recommend booking 4–12 months in advance, and as early as possible if you have a specific date in mind — especially for popular summer and fall dates in Colorado. We also leave a little room in our schedule for last-minute bookings, so if your date is coming up soon, don't hesitate to reach out. We'll let you know what's available.
-
You'll hear from us within 24 hours with a personal note and a link to our pricing guide and scheduling calendar. From there, we'll hop on a quick 15-minute discovery call to get to know each other, hear about your vision, and make sure we're the right fit. If we are, we'll send over a custom proposal with your package details, contract, and invoice. Once you've signed and paid your retainer, your date is officially secured and the fun begins.
-
Absolutely. We love all kinds of weddings — from a private ceremony in the mountains with just the two of you and a handful of your closest people, to a full wedding weekend with all your family and friends. What matters most to us isn't the size of the guest list, it's the intention behind the day. Whether you're planning something intimate and laid back or a full celebration, we bring the same level of care and presence to every couple we work with.
-
We do. While many couples choose a single-day celebration, we’ve found that multi-day experiences often allow for a more relaxed and meaningful pace—creating space to spend time with your people and fully take in the experience.
That said, every wedding is different, and we’ll help you choose coverage that feels aligned with what you’re envisioning.
-
Yes. While we don’t replace a planner, we play an active role in shaping a timeline that feels intentional and allows your day to breathe.
We love collaborating with your vendor team, and will work alongside them to create a day with your experience in mind.
We also guide you through a Vision & Values questionnaire early in the process so we can understand what matters most to you—this becomes the foundation for how we approach your day.
