About

On WeddingWire since 2008

Laurie Rhodes is a sought-after photographer based in New York City, capturing proposals, commemorating engagements, and documenting weddings.

Proposals & Engagements


An engagement photo session is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to capture the sense of joy and excitement before marrying the one you love. Sometimes, it’s even cementing the special moment of a proposal itself. Taking engagement photos provides a great way for couples to get used to the camera and Laurie values this time as an opportunity to better understand the types of photos they favor. Typically, she tries to capture a more casual vibe that candidly portrays the love, warmth, and familiarity a couple feels for each other.

Weddings


Laurie's contemporary documentary style captures the purest essence and emotion of the wedding celebration. Laurie intends not only to be your photographer but your friend and support during the planning process and on your wedding day.

She offers basic and full-day wedding photography packages that are reasonably priced for all couples. Her full event packages include up to five hours of coverage, and up to 600 professionally edited digital images. Laurie works solo but has relationships with several strong second shooters if you wish to add additional coverage to your day. Your photographs are available via upload, and via a secure online web gallery. While editing the entire collection takes up to 14 weeks of post-production (to achieve the highest quality), Laurie will email you sample photos of your wedding within 2-3 days. You may also order custom-made photo books and albums from Laurie. Options include:

  • Leather or metallic-bound Italian coffee table albums
  • Parent albums (smaller versions of your coffee table book)

The literal best

Laurie was sooooo fun to shoot with and incredibly easy going. We wanted documentary style (less posed) more fun and us and she made that possible. My fiancé loved her too. We were so obsessed with our results and got so many compliments on how authentic they were.

We 100000 percent recommend.

A true rock star

Laurie was flexible, helpful, professional, and most important of all, really good at taking photos. She worked with me on a surprise proposal to my then-girlfriend and on top of capturing the exact moment, she had the awareness to corral assistance from random tourists and park-goers at Central Park to ensure the spot we had settled on for the proposal and photos would be available and free of crowds. She is quick on her feet, receptive to suggestions and knows how to incorporate your wishes into great photos.
