About

As a wedding photographer, I love what I do. With over 14 years experience and 200+ weddings under my belt every wedding is still a thrill and delight. I love capturing all the fleeting moments that mark the beginning of your life together. With a style that’s been described as quirky, elegant and fun, I blend classic portraiture with a photojournalistic eye.

I realize that this is one of the most important days of your life. With this in mind I strive to discreetly document the laughter, love and celebration that will tell the story of your wedding day for years to come.

The most incredible photos by the absolute best photographer!

Lara was the first vendor we ever met with, and I thought if everyone is as amazing as Lara, we are going to have a great wedding! From day one, Lara's genuine kindness has laid the foundation for her incredible photography. We are completely in awe of all she was able to accomplish on the wedding day. She captured every moment perfectly. It felt like living the day all over again when we went through our photos. The photo quality is outstanding, so classic and beautiful. Lara is organized, has immense experience working with weddings, she provided us with advice and was wonderful to work with. She changed wedding dates with us multiple times through covid, making us feel comforted and supported during our most stressful times. We feel honored to have had Lara as our photographer. She feels like a member of the family after all we have been through together!

Our original photographer had to cancel, she came to our rescue

Our original photographer had to cancel last minute due to a family emergency and recommended her to us. So two months before the big day, we sat down together for coffee. After meeting with Lara, any stress we had about our pictures instantly subsided.

We were thrilled with the results. She took beautiful photos and gave good direction. You can tell from the photos how comfortable and easy she made the whole process. We still get compliments on how well our wedding pictures turned out.

We would 100% recommend her to anyone and everyone.

Absolutely Perfect!

We cannot recommend Lara enough! Our wedding venue suggested her since she had shot at our venue (Lutsen Resort) many times, and we couldn't be happier. Lara was EXTREMELY accommodating and flexible with our complex family pairings. We had a lot of fun spending time with her, running around taking pictures, and since my husband and I hadn't taken professional photos together before, she made us feel really comfortable so our our true personalities could come through in the photos! She was responsive during the planning process, extremely communicative about what would be happening when, and was quick to get us a few "sneak peek" photos to keep our pestering parents at bay until all photos could be processed. THANK YOU Lara for contributing to our special day!

We worked with Lara for both our engagement photos and wedding and we couldn’t have been happier! She went out of her way to work with us on creating a package that fit our individual ideas and visions and was excellent in communication throughout the whole process. The photos turned out beautifully and we were greatly impressed with how many “ahhh moments” she caught of our family and friends in free form in addition to the ones focused on us and the bridal party. There are many stresses in planning a wedding and she made sure the photography wasn’t one of them. Thank you Lara!

We loved our experience with Lara! We planned our wedding from out of state and she went out of her way to accommodate our schedule for our engagement session (which is SO helpful!) and phone calls. She is the absolute perfect combination of fun and sweet mixed with determination to get everything you want on your wedding day and more. She kept everyone on schedule and made sure any potential wedding party drama was quashed before it could start. Love it! And on top of all of that the pictures are amazing! We had given her a list of what we for sure wanted and she got all of that and then gave us helpful reminders of some pictures we had forgotten. The candids she took during our cocktail hour were fun, too. The guests loved her and it's easy to tell because the pictures look so natural and genuine. She caught the vibe of the day very well. The best pictures were the reaction shots of my husband and I and other guests during toasts and speeches. You can almost hear them all over again just by looking at the pictures. :) Best of all, the full online album was available to us in less than a month. We were so impressed! We are still far behind in getting our pictures together for our full printed album, but I have no doubt it will be amazing when we do finish it. We would highly recommend Lara to anyone looking for beautiful pictures with a photographer who brings out all the joy of the day. Thanks Lara!

Lara is an absolute professional. She really listened to us, made suggestions. Prior to the wedding, she provided us with a list of the "must have" photos that we wanted. She arrives early & offers to stay late. We are extremely pleased with the content and the quality of our wedding photos. Lara is very talented and creative. We highly recommend her.

Lara was a true professional and my daughter and son-in-law were delighted with the beautiful wedding photos that she took. She's an expert at being present and directive without being bossy or intrusive. I would highly recommend her!

Lara did such a great job at our wedding! She was fun to work with, professional, organized and flexible. She also sent a USB of our wedding photos to our parents with an 8x10 picture, and our parents cannot stop talking about it! We absolutely love our wedding photos!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
