Laura was the photographer for our wedding that took place in June 2023 at Black Walnut Point Inn, and we couldn’t be more grateful that we chose her! She is absolutely amazing!! From the moment we met her at our engagement shoot, we felt completely comfortable around her, and as a couple who had never done a photo shoot before, she made it feel easy. She brings a calm energy that is very soothing, but she also knows how to joke around and bring laughs. She is exactly who we needed! Her photographic skills are out of this world, and she is insanely quick in getting photos back to you. She and her second shooter, Shayla, worked insanely efficiently during group photos, and they were both so lovely to be around. We used Andover Media for videography, and Justinian and Laura worked extremely well together and added a very fun dynamic to the day. We would recommend Laura to anyone and everyone, and we only wish we could relive the day with her!

Laura is a real pro! She has a subtle way of directing the wedding party (also known as "herding cats") in order to get the perfect photos. She coordinated with my wedding planner to ensure the timing of everything was perfect and we ended up with beautiful photos of our special day. Definitely recommend Laura and her team for your special event!

Man, where does the time go? Laura was our photographer both for our engagement session in Spring 2019 and our wedding December 14, 2019. Throughout our experience working with her was nothing but pure joy. She is organized, prompt, skilled, and a great communicator, which is exactly what you need on one of the most important days of your life! I was referred to her by another photographer, but I am so thankful I went with her.

For our engagement shoot, we chose a local brewery that at the time had never had anyone ask to take professional photos there. Laura arrived early to scope out the location, work with the proprietor, and make sure she had the best vision for our session. She made us both comfortable and handled the crowds well. The photos were so unique and I loved how they turned out. She captured our aesthetic, while still thinking outside of the box of typical engagement photos. We got the photos back almost immediately, which was fantastic for save the dates and wedding planning purposes.

For our wedding she was once again wonderful. We spoke a few times to make sure that the timing and photo schedule was set. I felt comfortable knowing we had a plan and that her and her assistant would be there pushing us along and getting everything that we wanted. She scoped out the location and was prepared for weather changes. We got lucky and the rain subsided in the afternoon, leading to beautiful outside photos, even with the cold! Both her and her assistant captured so many precious moments, from the getting ready, first look, family shots, ceremony, and fantastic shots during the Hora! She was also flexible to a few changes on the spot, which was important. She timely turned the photos around and made sure they were available both by flash drive and in an online portal.

A few important things that stuck out to me about how Laura conducts her business that I believe are imperative for people to know and choose her. First, she is kind and works well with others, such as my makeup artist, other vendors, and more and makes sure to credit them in her posts of the event. Second, I really appreciate her social media etiquette. She makes sure to tag her clients if they wish on her Instagram and Facebook, which to me shows that she cares about her clients and what she shoots. Finally, I love the blog posts of her sessions. These were incredibly helpful to me to get an idea of how she shoots wedding and other big life events, and the blog from our wedding is something I cherish dearly and go back to often.

In no way does my delay on this review reflect Laura Focus Photography at all! These past few years have been insane, but I want to make sure it is known how fantastic she is! Hoping to work with her again in the future, maybe for a family session in a few years 
