Our daughter had the best day with Laurie. The photos turned out more like art then simply capturing the overt moments of a wedding. She surprised us with the number of angles and thoughtful artistic contributions of all that was happening and was hustling the whole evening.

Laurie communicated warmly, patiently, quickly and clearly to all guests being photographed, making people look comfortable and natural in the photos as a result. Her professionalism (on time for every meeting) and obvious long-time experience (suggesting ideas, locations in the space, which really helps because then the families, venue, flowers etc. all come out looking beautiful) included more than expected to the memory of the day.

She is an artist and a professional. You get magazine worthy results!

My husband and family and I are all so happy we chose Laurie to do our wedding photographs! The entire experience with her was amazing. She guided us through the entire process using her expertise to let us know what to expect and what would make for some world class photos. When the day came, we were prepared and excited to make it happen! Laurie is so personable that she really made it fun for all of us. Then when we saw the proofs we were over the moon! She had really captured the joy and love and beauty of our special day. We had no idea how well the photos would turn out!! I will enthusiastically recommend her to my friends and co-workers and neighbors without hesitation. My family and I are sold and she will be our official "family" photographer from now on. We just couldn't be more pleased with the outcomes. Laurie really has a gift which surpassed our expectations of what was actually possible.

We had a wonderful experience using Laurie as our photographer. She did a great job of blending the ideas we asked for about certain shots or locations with her own artistic ideas that made our photos look beautiful. One of the most important things for me when choosing a photographer was that I would own the photos and could print, share with family and use them in any way I choose, rather than having to pay extra for the photographer to print our photos each time we wanted something. Both our engagement and wedding photos were ready in a good amount of time, looked amazing and we had a cd of everything. She brought an assistant, was on time for each event, was friendly and accommodating, especially since we had 3 different set of family members to incorporate into family photos. When we met before the wedding to discuss the "shots list" she helped us figure out how it would all work with different groups and she made sure to get lots of "couples shots" of our guests to share with them as well. Everyone was included and made to feel a special part of our event.
When we arrived at the Van Dusen Mansion for our wedding photos, the owners were thrilled to see Laurie arrive as they had worked with her many times and knew we were bringing in a professional and talented artistic photographer. That was high praise indeed, and as it turned out, well deserved!

Loved having Laurie as our photographer! Her down to earth personality and attention to detail are characteristics that we first noticed. I had a couple phone conversations with Laurie throughout my wedding planning and she told me her goals and asked questions so she could get to know our style. She came out to our venue early to scout out places for our "first sight picture" and our bridal party pictures. She was very intuned to my wants/needs as a bride and I was not let down in the slightest. She kept things moving and ontime and made my day stress-free! I would recommend Laurie to anyone who wants to capture the beauty of your surroundings with action itself!

We enjoyed working with Laurie leading up to the wedding and on our wedding day. We received a wonderful mix of formal and candid pictures. We couldn't be happier with how the pictures turned out.

Laurie is artistic, respectful, and wonderful to work with!

We loved the shots that Laurie took for Trisha and Patrick's wedding and reception. She really captured great moments with them . Also, she took very awesome pictures of their venue; the James J Hill Library. Highly recommend.

Laurie is the most calming, artistic and exquisite professional photographer I have ever worked with!! We have the most incredible pictures from our daughter's wedding and will treasure them forever! She was able to capture many precious moments at the wedding that crystallize our beautiful daughter and our wonderful new son in law!!!! Thank you to Laurie Schneider!!!!!!!!

Laurie was great to work with at when planning the wedding : very understanding and accomodating wiht our busy schedule.
She is very professional and she knows how to take photos that are beyond the formal and journalsitic style.. she is a true artist!!

Laurie did a fantastic job of capturing our day! As we looked through our wedding pictures we felt like we were actually reliving the day. Everyone we show them to has the same reponse "beautiful pictures" The phone meeting we had a few weeks before the wedding was great to get a general idea of what shots we wanted but she was very open to changes on the day of as well.
