About

I am committed to helping you create your dream day. I listen to your needs and desires, and brainstorm with you to make the day even more special. I am here to help bring your ideas to life, and not to tell you how your wedding should be. I have many examples of vows that I am willing to share with you to kick start your creative side! To personalize your vows, I often mention how you fell in love and what you most love about each other. I honor all faiths and all people, and believe that any two people, who choose to dedicate their lives to one another in matrimony, or in spiritual union, deserve my complete respect and dedication in creating the most memorable ceremony possible.


My husband and I are photographers, and I am emotionally touched at each and every ceremony. I thought that it would be amazing to participate in the actual ceremony. I am a romantic at heart. I also can help plan your day. I have resources for local venues, music, photographers, etc to help.

I am a non-denominational minister, but I am happy to deliver a ceremony that speaks to whatever spiritual tradition you embrace. I perform legal marriage ceremonies, as well as unions, partnerships, and other affirmation ceremonies. You can feel comfortable in knowing that your marriage is legal and in great hands. After your beautiful ceremony, I also take care of filing your marriage license.

And speaking from personal experience, I am delighted to report that my own wedding was a wonderful event. I have been happily married to the man of my dreams for 19 years! I wish you blessings in the upcoming days as you prepare for your nuptials.

Please phone or email me so that we can plan your ideal ceremony!

Laura was everything we could've asked for! She was perfect in every way. She really listened and was very accommodating, as well as charming and personable. She was the perfect officiant!

Laura was great and the vows that she had for us were beautiful. When I booked her for my wedding I didn't realize that her husband.was a photographer as well and he took photographs of the wedding for us! Overall it was a great experience!

Laura was terrific. She worked to our specific plans and offered options that made things very simple. Our big day was significantly improved by having her be a part of it. We had so many people comment on Laura's ceremony, and some engaged friends who have already contacted Laura for her services at their wedding.
