Caio! I’m Lauren Rao,

Storytelling has always been the way I connect to the world.

For me, video content creation and weddings are more than just what I do — they’re where my heart feels most at home. There’s something incredibly special about preserving the in-between moments: the fleeting glances, the quiet anticipation, the energy you can feel but can’t always put into words. Creating films that allow people to relive those emotions is what drives me.

Outside of weddings, I’m someone with way too many passions and not nearly enough hours in the day — and honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

During the off-season, you’ll usually find me exploring somewhere new. I’m an avid national park hiker (so if you need trail recommendations, I’m your girl), endlessly searching for beautiful places that remind me to slow down and take it all in. I’m also a huge foodie and baker — if you follow along on socials, you’ve probably already met my sourdough daughter, Brigetta.

 

When I’m home in Buffalo, New York, life looks a little quieter: painting, getting lost in a good book, and soaking up time with family.

 

A huge part of who I am — both personally and creatively — is rooted in my Italian heritage. My life is split between the States and Italy as I continue growing my bilingual fluency and deepening my connection to the culture that has shaped so much of my perspective. Italy has taught me to embrace beauty in the everyday, to romanticize the ordinary, and to value presence above all else. That philosophy deeply influences the way I approach storytelling.

I believe life — and the wedding experience — should feel balanced, intentional, and deeply enjoyed.

Having worked across multiple facets of both the wedding and social media industries, my priority is creating a process that feels effortless for you. My goal is to help you feel fully present, genuinely connected, and able to trust that your story is being captured with care.

 

Whether your celebration is tucked into the hills of California, along the coast of Italy, or somewhere in between, I’m here to create something that feels honest, cinematic, and unmistakably yours.
