About

We are Laura + Mike, the photographers behind The Perkins Photographers! We are just a couple of small-town soulmates who fell in love after an amazing first date at the Santa Monica Pier. We want to provide everyone with a five-star wedding photography experience, but we don't believe you should have to pay thousands of dollars for exceptional wedding photography!

We use top Nikon gear and lighting equipment, so you will always get amazing photos! We share a combined 15 years' worth of industry knowledge, and provide a mix of candids, formal poses, and detail shots, to best showcase your beautiful day!

$800 is for a FULL day (8+ hours), including getting ready, ceremony, formal portraits, and reception. This includes digital files that have been edited and retouched, and delivered to you within three weeks via USB and online private photo album.

We would love to hear from you, check us out at: www.theperkinsphotographers.com! Send us an email or message us on here to chat on the phone or meet up for coffee and talk about your amazing wedding details!

Hey y’all. I don’t even know where to start! I am still awestruck with Laura’s work. I love everything about Laura and the work that she does! I was very hesitant about taking engagement photos I had never done anything like that. Laura made the entire experience pleasant and memorable. She gave us some guiding pointers and just lets us run with it, while we had fun she snapped away. She is very accessible and easy to communicate with, she was very responsive to my emails /texts. Despite some hiccups due to weather and broken down cars we were able to work it through and I couldn’t be happier with the end result. If you are looking for a reliable,amazing and affordable photographer look no further. Laura will capture priceless moments of your love on your special day.
Xoxox happy planning.

Laura and Mike shot our wedding and we are beyond floored with the results. Our magical day looks even more like a fairy tale thanks to their skills and talent. They are such a nice couple, are so easy to work with, and are overall amazing at what they do. I still cannot believe how incredible the photos look -- the daytime, dusk, and night time photos are all beautiful! Prior to the wedding, Laura was very communicative and responded quickly to any questions/comments/concerns I had. The day of the wedding, they happily went along with all our wacky requests with a smile. I cannot thank them enough for so many amazing photos!

The Perkins Photographers really did a beautiful job on my wedding day, before the ceremony, during the cocktail hour, the ceremony, and the reception. I am really impressed with the moments they captured, both candid and posed. Thank you, Laura and Mike!

The Perkins Photographers were fantastic for our beautiful engagement photo-shoot in Disneyland and California Adventure. They really made us feel special, and it truly came through in the incredible pictures that resulted from our experience working with them. They were not picky with the amount of time taken, or with number of locations throughout the park. Whatever we asked for, they gladly obliged. We are truly looking forward to working with them for our big day as well!

The Perkins Photographers are amazing! They are skilled, talented and took photos that we will always cherish to look back on our daughters wedding day. The photos were even better than we hoped or expected! They did exactly as we asked and more. I like the way they arrived early and stayed late! I highly recommend The Perkins Photographers!

WORST photographer. RUINED our wedding memories.

Absolutely RUINED our wedding pictures. Hiring Laura was the worst decision we made all wedding.

We were promised two photographers (Laura AND Mike). We wanted two photographers at our wedding for different angles on events. At the last minute, Mike has another job. Laura says she will try hard by herself. Okay.

Laura was the worst photographer I could ever imagine. I can't believe she calls herself a professional.

Almost EVERY picture was unuseable. EVERY group shot of our family was taken so far away that you can't see/focus on any faces in the group. It's all blurry. All of them. Even if you zoom in, it looks like it was taken on an old camera phone from the 90s.

Our fist dance pictures - Ruined. All of the pictures of us dancing were from the waist up. No feet? No legs? She took pictures so high, she got the security camera in the photos instead of us.

Picture Quality? All photos were 2 megabytes or less each. This means lower quality than a cell phone. Maybe this is why almost all the photos were blurry.

My wife was so upset. And, our family and friends who kept asking for photos had to go without. It was embaressing and we cannot get those moments back.

Bottom Line: All of our photos were either blurry or so misframed they were useless and un-useable. We tried to contact but Laura ignored our calls.

We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
