Having studied graphic design and adopted a modern aesthetic, Lauren Scotti is inspired by symmetry and sharp, clean lines—but she loves to break her own rules, she says. A Canon shooter, she grew up with photography (her father’s in the industry) but rather than being a hired vendor, she finds herself integrated in her clients’ weddings. “Photography is so much more than me just snapping some photos for someone,” she says. “It is the relationship with the people that I get to work with that truly makes what I do so special.”
