Professional People & Perfect Photos!

We had the pleasure of working with Laura for both our engagement photos in Chicago and our wedding photos in Columbus, OH. She met with us multiple times before the days of our events to make sure she properly captured the type and quantities of photos we desired, and she 100% delivered on everything that we were hoping for.
During the engagement photos, she made us extremely relaxed and excited for our photo shoot, and we seamlessly traveled to multiple indoor and outdoor locations across a very loud and busy downtown Chicago.
On the day of our wedding, we joke that Laura felt like another bridesmaid while still doing an exceptional job throughout the day. As multiple small stresses and social curveballs were thrown her way (e.g., party members getting ready, family logistics, etc.), she was amazingly professional and personable with bridesmaids, family members, and other vendors.
Most importantly, all of our photos from both events turned out PERFECTLY. Her style of no crazy filters or complex poses beautifully and, most importantly, genuinely captured our big day. We continue to go back to both our digital and printed photos frequently to relive these memories that Laura and her team honored in the best way. We highly recommend her as your photographer!

Laura is AMAZING! Such a boss lady!

Laura was absolutely amazing and I would 100% recommend her to anyone who wants photos that look elegant, clean and timeless. On the day of our wedding, Laura made sure to capture all of the important shots without asking us to pose a million different ways or walk miles into scenic backdrops - our photo time got shortened by a brief rain shower, so we had to change our photo locations at the last second and Laura was unbelievably adaptable and professional. We LOVE the way our photos turned out and will cherish them for years and years to come. They are truly timeless - no crazy filters or weird angles, just gorgeous shots that captured US!

From the first time I met Laura I knew she would be the photographer at my wedding! We met with her at her studio where she took her time to run through the process, show us examples of photos and really discuss what she offers to her clients. About a month before my wedding, she reached back out to us to get detailed information about the day, learn the names of our family and wedding party, and ask us if she could help in any other way. It was just amazing - it made me feel like she was a part of our day.
On the day of the wedding, her and Naomi showed up early and started taking pictures. We wanted to do a first look and family pictures before the ceremony and she helped us to keep on time and keep calm.
I just received my photos back and they turned out amazing...i am so happy with the photos i knew she took but then I saw all these great photos of my guests and candid ones of people dancing.
I highly recommend her as a photographer, you can't go wrong having her photograph your big day!

Working with Laura on our daughter's wedding was one of the most gratifying experiences we had. She is exceptionally talented, professional, kind and wonderful to work with. Her work is impeccable and she captures some of the most amazing, candid shots you'll ever see! The day was flawless and she added so much to making it all so perfect.

Laura (and her assistant photographer Colleen) did such an AMAZING job with photography for our wedding. We honestly could not be happier with the experience we had, and the quality of the end product!!

Laura was super responsive right from the start when I emailed her to see if she would be open to taking on an out-of-town wedding in Green Bay, Wisconsin during a peak summer weekend. It was a longshot, but I was familiar with her work from when I lived in Chicago and she did professional headshots for me (which people always compliment me on!) so figured I would reach out.

We did not do an engagement shoot prior to the wedding, but both Laura and Colleen were so fantastic at getting to know us, our bridal party, and family that it didn't present a problem at all on the big day. They did a great job at getting all the photos we wanted, but we still had a lot of fun especially doing bridal party photos between the ceremony and reception.

Here are some of my favorites - cannot recommend Laura enough. Have known lots of brides that are very "meh" about their wedding pictures once they get them back, and we are so happy to have had the opposite reaction and to have so many wonderful memories of our wedding day captured beautifully by Laura!!

We loved having Laura as our photographer for both our wedding & our engagement photos. We did not want to have to constantly "pose" for pictures throughout the wedding day & were looking for someone who was able to capture real moments & take natural shots. Laura's style was perfect for that, and her great eye for detail made all the shots even more wonderful.

Laura was an incredible photographer to work with for our wedding. From the moment we meet her we knew she would be amazing. She really listened to what WE wanted and also helped to guide us in creative ideas and places for both our Engagement and Wedding Photos. All of her responses were timely and professional. The second shot she brought for the wedding was great as well. When it came to the “Day of” she was early and incredibly helpful to keep everyone on schedule. She was also really great at dealing with big groups of people and getting everyone together for a shot. This came in incredibly helpful when we took extended family photos after the wedding and for our bridal party shots.

Our photos turned out better than I could have ever hoped. She not only got beautiful shots of all the people who shared our wedding day with us, she got all of the little details too! The variety of photos we received really helped to encapsulate our day and tell our story. From the shots of the necklace I wore from my godfather, to us exchanging vows, to everyone celebrating with us on the dance floor, nothing was missed. Not only were the photos beautiful but we also received them in a timely manner which so many of my recently married friends were jealous of!

Laura truly went above and beyond more than I think I could ever express in an online review. One of the most amazing things she did for me was to commemorate my grandfather as a part of our wedding day. My grandpa fell very ill shortly before my wedding and about a week out we knew he would be unable to attend the ceremony. Knowing how important my grandfather was, she helped to arrange for us to visit him in between the ceremony and the reception and took pictures of the moments we shared. She handled a delicate situation flawlessly, helping to coordinate with us and our vendors to ensure this could happen. I will cherish these photos forever as they were my last moments with him.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
