My style can best be described as a modern take on photojournalism!

An Engagement for the Ages

First, let me tell you how great and accommodating Laura Alpizar is to your needs. My plan for our engagement was to surprise my girlfriend, now fiancee, with the proposal while we were on vacation in Minneapolis. I am from Austin, TX and had only visited Minneapolis once, right out of high school. After some basic research I found what I thought was a great spot (my uncle later found a better one). Laura went out to both the original location and the new location after the last-minute change and took photos of where we should stand and where her family could hide to surprise her. Laura was super helpful in scouting the place out. I was blown away by the level of service she provided for such a special day.

Second, I want to tell you how great she is day of. As John Steinbeck puts it "The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry. No matter how carefully a project is planned, something may still go wrong with it." That's exactly what happened with our plans. My group, consisting of my Aunt, Uncle, and girlfriend, go to the park well in advance of everyone. Of course I am nervous as hell, and on top of that trying to text everyone where to be and how to meet up was making it 1000% worse. No problem for Laura, she just said I am here for as long as you need and for whatever you need. I was super concerned about that. My fiancee's family and friends were also running late, which put the pressure on me to, a, not blow the surprise (I'm horrible at that), and b, to coordinate with them and my uncle, whom none of them had met, to meet up and then hide for the proposal. Laura and her team never gave up on us and were able to capture some of the best moments of my life!

I hope this goes to say whatever you want to book her for you are in great hands. She will go above and beyond to make sure your experience is caught on camera and with you for the rest of your life. Look no further!

p.s. Her photography is amazing!

Laura is awesome! not only here pictures were everything I ever wanted, the candids, the session with us and all the special moments in the ceremony. She was very professional and made us feel at ease with the pictures and the timeline of them ( we were planning the wedding ourselves) - she even recommended what to do in case it was too cold to go out we had a backup plan , we had so much fun with her! Best pictures ever :)

Laura was an absolute joy to work with! Right from the start she was responsive and made us feel so comfortable. We used her for our engagement and wedding photo's and she knocked them both out of the park. I love her timeless and not overly "edited" style - I've never loved a picture of myself or my hubby more than the ones she has captured. I truly have no idea how we are going to pick which photo's to hang in our home because we have soooo many great ones to choose from. I'd recommend her a million times over again!

Laura is a great photographer, I loved to work with her. She's got an eye for unique photos and how to make them work. Personally, I'm not a fan of someone taking pictures of me, but with her I felt so comfortable that I didn’t mind hundreds of pictures being taken. She's a lovely person; my husband, my daughter and myself enjoyed a lot in our engagement session and in our wedding also. You'll be lucky if you hire her because you will get more than a photographer, you (as I did) could also find a very good friend!

Laura and her work are PHENOMENAL

We hired Laura for our Engagement & Wedding photos and we knew after seeing her work and meeting here there was no looking back! She is an amazing soul and incredibly talented!
For our engagement session we had THE BEST time and couldn’t stop laughing. Our wedding day with her there to capture it all and being a guest it was PERFECT!
And the moments that were captured so beautiful are forever with us.
Thank you Laura SO SO much!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
