About

Hi, I'm Todd Laffler, sole photographer and owner of Laffler Photography.

I began my journey in photography when I was 17 years of age. My mother showed me how to shoot, develop, and print black and white photographs in her makeshift darkroom in our basement. I was blown away by the whole process, and instantly became infatuated. I started photographing what I knew best, which at the time was skateboarding. I even made my own skateboard magazine using my photography. After high school I went on to earn my BFA in Photography from the Maryland Institute College of Art. In 2012 I was incredibly honored to be named one of the top ten wedding photographers in the world by American Photo Magazine.

My photography style is best described as modern, fresh, fun, and sometimes a little quirky. I prefer to let the events of the day unfold naturally and just be prepared to capture them as they happen. While I do give some direction from time to time, I strive to inject fun into my photography, creating unexpected compelling images. However, for the majority of the wedding, I stay in the background as a quiet observer, paying close attention for genuine and candid interactions. It is extremely important to me that the photographs I create at a wedding are both unique and artistic, and when seen collectively, tell the entire story of the day.

I heart Todd

Todd and I have an interesting past. I hired him when I was previously engaged and we had done an engagement session. The wedding was called off and I never got to experience him at a wedding. When my husband and I got engaged I told him the only thing I cared about was food and photos (and marrying him obviously) we looked at more local photographers who were a little (not much cheaper) and I said to him please just look at his work!! So he did and turned to me and said hire him. He's truly an artist. I reached out to Todd and fortunately he was available! He and Danette were wonderful! Willing to trek hiking trails and sneak into abandoned buildings so we could capture the history of our town and incorporate nature into our photos.

You want some pretty perfect wedding photos? Todd's your guy.

Todd was our first vendor we booked because the photos were the most important thing to us, so we wanted to make sure we had that solidified from the very beginning. It didn't take us long to make the decision because once we saw his website- that was it. We had to have him. And coincidentally, he was a preferred photographer at our wedding venue! So it felt like a sign that we already had our hearts set on him. We knew we wanted most of our photos to be beautiful, candid shots. We're not huge fans of staged photos; of course you have to have the family photos, the bridal party photos, etc. But we wanted to be able to look back at our photos and remember moments, and that's exactly what Todd's photos are. Beautiful pockets of moments from your wedding day. We felt like we knew the couples from the photos on his website simply because they had such personality to them. You really felt like you got to know them just through looking at their photos. We met him in person and he was just such a cool, easy going guy on top of being super talented. We knew that he'd make us feel easy and light on our big day, because that's the energy he exudes. So our wedding day comes and he was there from beginning to end, an incredible 12 hours!! We had SO much fun with him & his assistants. He jokes around with you all day, he made sure that I was warm in between shots (it was cold outside!) he just felt like a friend shooting some fun shots of us. He was so relaxed the whole time, it transferred over to the rest of us. For the rest of the day, we barely noticed him! He's kind of like a ninja in that way haha, because we've seen some sneak peeks of some of our photos and they are INCREDIBLE and we're both like, "wait! he was there at that moment?!" He captured my husband and I perfectly; our goofy selves and incredible love we have for each other came out so beautifully; and we've only seen a few photos! If you want someone to truly capture candid, special moments throughout your day and have them look like they belong in a wedding magazine- Todd Laffler is your man.

Todd and his crew were amazing. We had such a fantastic and fun time on our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. From beginning to end, he was patient and just high quality. It was easy to tell that he was a professional who knew what he was doing. He had wonderfully unique ideas about different scenes. We would recommend Todd to anybody wants to have fun and quality photos to prove it
