About

Laurie Rhodes Photographer is a sought-after photographer based in La Salle Street, 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. 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 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)

Incredible!!!

Hiring Laurie was one of our best wedding decisions! She captured so many special moments and we couldn't be happier with the results. We loved her focus on taking natural, rather than overly posed, photos. It rained horribly on the day, but Laurie was ready with a Plan B and the pics turned out amazing!

Laurie is the best! Stunning and unique

Laurie is an absolute joy to work with. She is organized and communicative, and we felt that the meaning of day was felt by her as well. Laurie's photos uniquely capture each moment--big and small--of our wedding weekend perfectly. Her photos show the emotion and movement of the festivities, which is very cool to look back on. We love our photos and are so happy we chose Laurie to be our photographer!

The perfect fit

Laurie did our engagement photos as well as our wedding. She was a perfect fit for us. My wife and I feel very awkward taking photos, but Laurie helped us feel comfortable with her style of photography. Every photo looked and felt effortless and natural. We will definitely be reaching out to Laurie in the near future for her services again.
