About

Weddings are still my absolute favorite to document even today after 19 years in the business! I love telling the story of each couples day and capturing unique personalities, expressions, and moments. I also love to use a bit of fine art photography techniques with flash skills I have learned over the years. Afterwards, I want you and your family and friends to look through your gallery and relive the day through the images!

I am based in the St. Michaels/Easton area on the eastern shore of Maryland where I grew up. In addition to Maryland, I am available for wedding and portrait shoots in DC, Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania and beyond. I love to travel so please reach out for destination travel rates! During some of the winter months, I may be sailing in the Bahamas where I am available with no extra travel fees. I am available for destination weddings everywhere and to date have documented weddings in Mexico, Dominican Republic and the Bahamas.

I started my business in 2005 and have documented over 300 weddings to date and hundreds of portrait sessions. I absolutely love what I do and would love to document your special moments!

Wedding Photos

We cannot say enough good things about Laura, she is wonderful! Laura’s Focus Photographers were very quick to get us through everything without us feeling rushed. They made such an effort to make the whole experience fun and involved our pups as much as they could. Laura has a lovely style of photography that really shows the beauty of your surroundings while still making you the focal point of the pictures. She is also very easy to get along with and very good at communicating. She was very punctual and scheduled and we were even seconds behind schedule. They were almost invisible during the ceremony and the reception, they just worked around everyone and everything so well you didn’t even notice they were there. All our photos looked beautiful, and we couldn’t have been happier with anyone else.

Eternally Grateful

Laura's Focus Photography went above and beyond all our expectations. It's honestly hard to put into words just how grateful we are for Laura's exceptional work. Saying we're impressed doesn't even come close!

Every time my husband and I revisit our wedding photos, it's like reliving those magical moments all over again. Each image brings back such fond memories of our special day, and being able to share those moments with our loved ones has been incredibly rewarding, all thanks to Laura's incredible talent.

Right from our very first meeting, Laura's professionalism, expertise, and calming presence put us at ease. She was super responsive to any questions I had before the wedding, and her timeline guidance and advice on hair and makeup rotations were invaluable. Her attention to detail ensured that everything ran smoothly on the day, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the magic without a single worry. The photos turned out absolutely breathtaking, striking a perfect and timeless balance between documentary-style shots and those capturing the warmth of our family and friends.

Without a doubt, we will wholeheartedly recommend Laura to anyone we know who is planning their wedding.

Photos We'll Cherish for a Lifetime

If you want epic lighting photos that candidly tell the story of your wedding day, book Laura now.

The search for a photographer is overwhelming. We didn't know the lingo so didn't know how to describe the types of photos we wanted. We obviously needed the typical posed family groupings, but we also wanted lots of candids that captured all the emotions of the day and where you could hear the laughter or see the movement of the dancing. We didn’t want crazy Instagram-esque filters or extreme styles like the airy bright and washed out clouds look or dark and moody look. We really wanted something in between with rich colors and epic sunset sky shots.

Finally, we came across Laura’s portfolio, and we immediately loved her photography style, which she described as "documentary." Every photo we scrolled through was a winner and felt like she read our minds. We set up a meeting with Laura and she was just so down to earth yet completely in control. Within a few minutes, she had our entire wedding day's schedule planned out for us to the minute and in our inbox. We were absolutely floored by her impeccable organization and immediately knew we had to book her.

Laura's rate included an engagement shoot, which she strongly recommended. We've been engaged for a few years so didn't plan on doing one, but are so glad we did. Not only were the photos absolutely stunning, but it was a great practice run before the big day without the stress. It also gave Laura a chance to get to know us and our story, which she actually remembered and used on our wedding day to make us smile and laugh. Laura provides a list of suggested locations, from which we chose Waterfront Park in St Michaels. She knew every inch of that place and within an hour we had a variety of photos on the water, in the field, on the street, and some insane lighting on the covered bridge.

On the wedding day, Laura's second shooter was Rachel, every bit as talented. Together they took care of every single family grouping in record time and truly documented the entire day from start to finish. Our friends and family looking at pictures honestly don't remember seeing them take half the shots. They somehow even captured a family moment that barely anyone else saw but was incredibly important to us.

Within 24 hours, Laura had a "preview" post on her blog with a bunch of winners. Honestly those would've been perfect from any other photographer, but then we got the full package a few weeks later and were blown away. She delivers them on a website where you can share or order prints, as well as a custom USB drive for safe keeping.

We have a digital frame cycling through our favorites, and every single day we can't help but smile at them. We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives and will always be glad we chose Laura. She was worth every penny, so if she's available for your day, book her fast - you won't regret it.

Laura originally did a shoot last Nov and I was impressed then, but more recently did a photo shoot of an elopement aboard my grandfathers yacht Selina II in St Michaels MD, and the photos were fantastic! She took one pic from inside the cabin framing our couple that totally captures their spirit. Her eye is very creative- Capt Iris
