You've spent countless hours carefully planning your wedding so you can enjoy it free of stress-- you deserve a photographer who will capture it just as intentionally.
You deserve someone who is just as emotionally invested in your day as you are (or, you know, as close as someone else could get). Someone who cares enough to capture all the big moments, but the smaller ones in between too. Someone who takes their job seriously, but will indulge in Y2K throwbacks and tacky dance moves with you at the reception.

Hi there, i'm laura! and to be honest, i never thought i would become a wedding photographer.
And I don’t think anyone else expected it either. I was supposed to be the “smart” girl who would go off to get her PhD in something scientific and make the world proud. And I almost did that. I stopped at a Masters, worked in chemistry for 4 years, but decided to take a chance on myself with a different passion when that job ended up not being what I needed.
Photography was always a hobby for me after I was yearbook editor in high school, but I never believed I could really do anything with it. And I was always a pretty emotional kid and still am today, but I always felt like I needed to change that. Like I was "too much" for people when I would cry over the ending of every single movie. But as I enter my thirties, I'm learning it's okay to have big emotions-- it's just who I am, and it's really my superpower. And I want to let others know that's okay too.
as unusual as it might seem, i figured out where i was meant to be
I remember falling in love with weddings as a kid after attending lots of my older cousins' weddings. There was something so mesmerizing about the glitz and glamour of it all-- having my mom do my hair, picking out a fancy dress, seeing everyone else dressed up, but also seeing how many emotions couples go through on a wedding day. I just knew I belonged there and I wanted to be the person who can let them know it's natural, normal, and beautiful to show those emotions, and I wanted to document them.
So, wedding photographer felt like a natural next step for me even though it may seem strange to some. I might not have the most conventional journey, but I'm glad to be here. I've photographed close to 100 weddings, made lifelong friendships, and I'm so excited and honored to walk alongside you on your wedding journey.
Getting your picture taken is not an everyday experience, and it's completely valid that it might be intimidating to you. So, I want to ease that worry. Focusing more on your partner and less on the camera with movement-based posing is just one way I love to do this.
Let's be honest, you've probably never planned a wedding before. Kind of stressful, isn't it? This is why I treat all of my couples with grace. I welcome all questions, photo related or otherwise, and I will check in with you periodically to make sure you're not overwhelmed. I'm in your corner.
As an LGBTQIA+ affirming photographer, my priority is creating a safe space where you feel respected and comfortable throughout the entire process. Regardless of how you identify or who you love, you are welcomed, loved, and celebrated here.
I love to learn and am always looking for ways to improve. Once a year, I like to attend styled shoots or content days to spark my creativity. I also frequently participate in online workshops and listen to educational podcasts to keep my business practices fresh.
Relaxed atmosphere
Continued education
Human-centered approach
Inclusivity
