Imagining stressful, intimidating, awkward vibes in front of the camera? Sorry, we don’t do that over here! My couples rarely have professional modeling experience, and they all still look cool as heck in their photos – I promise you won’t be the exception.
Your wedding day is sure to be be filled with all sorts of emotions, and it should be documented in a way that makes you remember all the warm fuzzies and silly little quirks that make the two of you special.
Ready to let loose and forget the camera's even there?
Not that trends can't be a fun addition to a wedding day if they feel right, but it's certainly more important that you feel comfortable enough to be unapologetically yourself. So, my photography is designed to put your love in the spotlight. We'll have some fun, we'll get weird, but we'll also make sure all the moments that are the most important to you are captured.
My goal is to capture you in real emotions. That's why I like to do more prompting versus posing, so you don't feel stuffy and awkward and can focus on the people around you instead of the camera in my hand. I try to use movement instead of static poses whenever possible to help make the process feel more natural. We'll mix in some more classic poses too to balance trendy with timeless.
Let's put the focus back on you and your partner

Curious about how i do things? here's the process:
Regardless of which wedding package you choose, you will receive both an online gallery with download and a USB drive of all carefully edited photos from your wedding with full printing rights. This way, you can enjoy your photos in whatever way you prefer without fear of losing the files. In addition, you also receive planning resources from me including a timeline planning meeting closer to your day so you can feel at ease knowing your wedding is in good hands.
I think it's important to get to know each other before you officially book, so I'll reach out to you to schedule a phone call once I receive your inquiry. If we decide to move forward with booking, a non-refundable retainer and signed contract are due to secure your date. You have two days to complete these things before I will no longer hold your date.
After i receive your inquiry, we'll set up a time to talk
If you have an engagement session, we'll get that scheduled, and I'll send you my engagement session guide to help you prepare. You will also receive a few other wedding planning guides along the way, and we'll meet up for a timeline planning meeting about a month out from your wedding.
After you're officially booked, we'll get things rolling
How does the album process work?
I will ask you to favorite how ever many images are included in your album inside your digital gallery. After I receive those, I will design your album and send you the proofs for comments. Once you approve them, I send off your album for printing. The printing and shipping process normally does not take more than 7 days.
How much editing will you do on the photos?
I adjust for color, crop, and brightness and will also remove small blemishes and smaller background distractions. Body modification will not be done because I believe you're perfect the way you are! If there's something you're concerned about, let's talk about it before our session.

"Laura has made this process so much smoother than I ever thought. She actually did things behind the scenes so that she could get us the best shots. She took her time to answer any and all questions or concerns we had and was willing to work with us if there were constraints for time or the time of day. I cannot recommend her enough."

Laura did our engagement and wedding photography and we could not be happier!! She truly captured us so well and made us feel so comfortable despite not being in front of the camera often. She is such a supportive and kind presence to have on your wedding day and we can’t recommend her enough!!
