I found Laura just from perusing Instagram. As soon as I saw all of those beautiful pictures on her profile I knew I had found the one. Her work is so vibrant and simply stunning.
Laura was extremely responsive right off the bat and even offered to meet with me while I was in LA visiting family. We chatted over coffee and I was immediately obsessed! She was engaging, personable and truly genuine.
Even after the contract was signed, Laura was always so responsive. You can tell she runs an organized business and is on top of everything. She makes you feel like a friend and not just a client.
Day of, Laura was punctual, patient and so sweet. We had a small wedding of 40 people and I am pretty sure Laura knew them all by name. All of my guests complimented her as well.
My husband and I did not have any particular poses in mind and we trusted her implicitly. Her cues were on point and she made us feel comfortable the entire time. As she was taking every picture, I kept thinking how I cannot wait to see all of them. I could tell then and there that they were going to be great!
We got married on a Saturday and had over 30 preview pictures just three days later. Just as I expected, they were PERFECT. Laura captured every single detail.
My best friend is getting married in 2020 and I am going to do everything in my power to have Laura there to shoot her wedding. My best friend and fiance are already on board! I cannot recommend Laura and her team enough.

Laura exceeded all of our expectations!
Laura was incredibly flexible from day one when we first met and continued to be throughout the entire process. She was such a joy and her personality made her perfect to work with for our wedding photos. We got great feedback from so many guests that enjoyed her presence during the wedding as well. She had the innate ability to know exactly what we wanted from our photos, and delivered that beautifully.

Amazing experience
Laura is top of the line when it comes to photography and just a wonderful person to work with! She did our wedding pictures and a boudoir session and we were blown away at how awesome they were!! Would absolutely recommend her for any photography!

Laura is amazing!
Laura is the BEST. Finding a photographer for our wedding was one of the most important things to me - photos are one of the only things you get to keep to remind you of your day after it has come and gone. I looked at lots of different photographers and spoke with 5 different people and I knew immediately when I talked to Laura and saw her work that she was the perfect fit for us.
Laura is not only insanely talented, but she is also incredibly sweet and fun to work with. My husband and I legit had a blast doing our first look and taking photos before our wedding. Laura has a talent for understanding people. She gets to know you really quickly and is really good at picking up on what you like. She scouted out locations for our photos that were exactly what we were looking for without us even knowing it! She makes you feel comfortable behind the camera and is great at giving direction without making you feel posed. She is also great at wrangling family and friends; my husband's family is huge and she managed to get them all to cooperate for lots of family photos that turned out beautifully. She also did us a solid when our timeline ran later than we planned and stayed later than she had planned to capture a few photos of our friends and family getting down on the dance floor.
We just got our previews back and looking at them made us feel like we were able to relive our day all over again. They're intimate, candid, and capture all of the little moments we loved about our day. They were exactly what we were hoping for! Thank you so much Laura for capturing our day so beautifully!

Laura is an incredible photographer! My now-husband and I began planning our wedding from a different state, and Laura was quick, prompt, and very accommodating when it came to "e-meeting" us via Skype for an initial chat to talk about our wedding and what to expect. We loved the photos we saw in Laura's portfolio before meeting with her, and talking with her just solidified our decision to pick her as our photographer on the big day. She described her style at work, which was non-intrusive and thoughtful, which we loved, particularly being in a wedding party full of nerds and introverts! On the wedding day, Laura was an absolute master at herding people around for photos, thinking up creative ideas for shots and angles, and working quickly and, again, thoughtfully as she kept our timeline in mind throughout the day. Our wedding was just over a week ago, and she sent us several previews just a few days after the wedding that had us in awe. My husband, who was perhaps the most camera-phobic of us all, had a huge smile on his face as he was going through the preview shots she sent us and commented on how great Laura was. After the wedding, I had a few guests comment to me on how impressed they were with Laura's "ninja-like" skills at the event -- she had a great sense of where to be and when, so she was able to capture so many great shots. We can't wait to see the full gallery when it's ready, and we highly recommend Laura if you're considering her as a photographer for her beautiful work, conscientious nature, and quick work on her feet! We can't thank her enough!

So many wonderful things to say about Laura! I was so comfortable from the first minute we met! She shot a beautiful engagement shoot of my husband and I at the Union Station in LA. All the pictures were flawless, it was so hard to pick my favorite one. Communication with Laura was easy and she was very responsive. The day of the wedding was perfect. Everything ran smoothly. Laura really took control, however she was never aggressive or pushy. She was able to share with me some of the shots from the wedding and they were nothing but AMAZING!!! People thought the photos came out of magazines, I can't wait to see them all! If you are looking for a photographer, look no further. I love her vision and her beautiful work.!

Getting high quality photos was super important to us so we looked at a ton of photographer websites in our search. We also wanted someone that was easy to work with that would capture everything without being obtrusive. Laura was an absolute delight to work with! We found her through the recommendation of a co-worker and she had just the style we were looking for. Our photos have a bright, happy look to them with just the right mix of posed and candid shots. Laura suggested things to us throughout the day and was very efficient when it came to getting family photos done. We ended up with 1200+ shots and love every one of them! It's hard to capture everything, but we think Laura and her assistant did an amazing job. Highly recommended!!

It's impossible to overstate how much we LOVE Laura Ford! Photography was one of the most important parts of our wedding, so we started looking for a great photographer early in our wedding planning. We love Laura’s photojournalism style: she’s great at capturing fleeting candid moments that convey the joy of the day. We also loved how her photos are not heavily filtered; they look fresh & modern, yet paradoxically also timeless & classic. We met with her before booking our venue, and immediately knew she was the one. She was so warm, fun, friendly, and approachable, but still extremely professional. Some wedding vendors can make you feel like you’re just going down a factory production line with no personal interest, but Laura wasn't like that at all. She showed genuine interest in us and made us feel valued.
We did engagement photos with Laura so that we could get to know her style better and get comfortable posing for photos. Laura immediately put us at ease when we began the photo shoot. We laughed a lot and had a ton of fun. She very promptly gave us a couple of preview photos, and then sent the entire set of photos soon after. We were so thrilled with her photos! Laura then asked us to tell her our favorite photos to give her an idea of styles to focus on for the wedding day, which was a nice touch. Leading up to the wedding, Laura gave us a very thoughtful questionnaire, reaffirming just how organized and professional she is.
In keeping with our entire experience with Laura up to that point, she came to the bridal getting-ready location on time and completely prepared (her assistant, Todd, did the same for the groomsmen). Seeing her again was like seeing an old friend rather than a vendor. At the wedding venue, she continued to be impossibly present at all places, capturing all moments, seeing all opportunities for an interesting angle or background. We love the preview photos she already sent us! We're now looking for excuses to work with her again!

Laura is the best! Our wedding took place in Topanga Canyon, but we live in Boston so it was important to us that our vendors were easy to work/plan with remotely. Laura was so responsive over email, quick to set up phone calls when needed, and we trusted her immediately -- even across the country.
Laura obviously takes amazing photos (you can check that out on her website), but I think her biggest value add is in her personality. She is so pleasant to be around, and got along with all of our guests, family, and vendors. I wasn't great about knowing which pictures I wanted taken (of people, things, etc.) and she just jumped in there and took every shot I didn't know I wanted. I didn't have to give her any direction at all. Also, I was pretty nervous about having all of the attention on me on my wedding day, and she did a great job of guiding my husband and I through pictures (but not too much), in a really comfortable way.
It's also worth noting that the Laura's assistant also had an amazing attitude (she was smiling ALL day) and took great photos! We can't recommend Laura enough, so if you're thinking about her, go for it!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
Laura is a great photographer and mentor. I only wish we were closer so we could work together more often. Her work is nothing short of amazing and she is always very calm and professional. I would high recommend her.
