Rachel Sent on 12/03/2019Fantastic Photos!
Laura was recommended to us by a friend, and she was the first vendor who actually took the time to interview us. She spent time getting to know who we are as individuals in order to get a better idea of what we wanted to have as memories 20+ years in the future. Her positive attitude, professionalism, and sense of humor helped things run smoothly on our wedding day. The photos came out just as we'd hoped and we absolutely recommend her as a valuable member of any vendor team! -

We had the hardest time finding an affordable photographer who was available for our day. When we found out that Laura Scheidt from Exclamation Imagery was available to travel to Charlottesville, VA from DC, we jumped! We had an instant connection with Laura and she really *got* us as a couple. Throughout our engagement shoot and wedding day, Laura made us feel happy and at ease. She's been responsive, fun, professional and easy to work with since day one. And our pictures are AMAZING. I can't recommend her highly enough! -
User3399929 Sent on 01/30/2018We used Exclamation Imagery for our engagement session and our wedding. Laura and her assistant, Liza, were true professionals. Laura really made it a point to understand what types of photos we wanted, and what our priorities were. She was incredibly organized, and as a result everything went very smoothly. Laura also captured truly wonderful candid photos of our family and friends throughout the evening. Thanks for documenting our big day!

Masresha Sent on 07/19/2013The wedding photographer is who you have to spend the majority of your day with and I'm so happy it was Laura and her assistant Bonnie. We had the luxury of time and interviewed 10 photographers for our big day. I needed a person who was going to be able to wrangle my very large family, keep me on time, and get fun pictures. My husband and I did a photo shoot at the White House, Union Station, and the Capitol before heading to the wedding venue. My husband and I met on a D.C. bus and wanted to incorporate this; we have photos kissing in front of a Metro bus that looks amazing but took some work to get. Laura is assertive, and when she's "got it" I know she does. I will never regret my decision to have Laura as my photographer and recommend interviewing Laura first! -

Georgia Sent on 08/08/2011I had first heard of Laura through my friend who wed last year. Her pictures were wonderful and decided to book her for my own wedding.
We went to the Lincoln Memorial for our engagement shoot. My fiance was hesitant about taking professional pictures but she quickly put him at east with a morning mimosa. Our pictures looked great.
The day of our wedding, Laura arrived early and captured events prior to the ceremony throughout the rest of the night. They were there for more than 8 hours.
We paid a little bit more and got a photobooth. Our friends loved it. Cant wait to see the pics.

Amanda Sent on 07/14/2011My wife and I hired Exclamation Imagery to photograph our wedding. Of all the wedding decisions that needed to be made, the photography was THE most important aspect for me...and in that regard we have ZERO regrets. Laura and her assistant showed up early, took AMAZING pictures and made everyone feel at ease. My wife can be a bit late (to EVERYTHING), so we were running a bit behind schedule and I was afraid we wouldn't get all the shots we really wanted. Laura got us back on schedule, and we even had time to shoot a few extras that we weren't expecting. When I first saw her previous work, I completely fell in love with her detail shots and her candids. I figured any good photog could snap a standard formal shot, but the candids and detail shots were what really gave a wedding set character. I am happy to say that ALL the shots contributed to the overall beauty in the set: the details, the formals, the "fun formals", the candids...everything. We've gotten nothing but compliments. We couldn't be happier. Thanks Laura!

Lynnita Sent on 07/12/2011We can't say enough wonderful things about Laura (& Alicia). I wanted unique wedding photos and Exclamation Imagery certainly delivered! They were patient, flexible, and friendly.
They asked what we wanted - right down to a lengthy site visit (we had a large outdoor venue) to make sure they knew exactly where we wanted each set of photos. I bumped my hair appointment up a day before the wedding and Laura had no problem making the adjustment...she even arrived earlier than the hairdresser. In the chaos of an unexpected rain storm, she made the most out of the small indoor space and captured the "intimate" ceremony beautifully.
And, most importantly, the photos are INCREDIBLE. I mean my mother-in-law-is-a-photographer-and-she-says-they're-incredible-INCREDIBLE. We can't wait to get the 12x12 album that was included in our (reasonable priced) package! -

Claire Sent on 01/05/2010LAURA SCHEIDT FOR EXCLAMATION IMAGERY:
I heard about Laura through another friend who'd used her for her wedding photographer. I visited her facebook site and was extremely impressed with her work and contacted her that day. She called me back immediately and was extremely personable and friendly, responsive and straightforward. We made plans to meet the next week to discuss details and an interview, and she forwarded me some of her references and other links of her work. When we met for the initial interview, she was very organized, gave me a copy of a contract with all of her services listed in detail and prices. She was extremely affordable for the quality of her work and her terms and conditions were standard and not unreasonable. We discussed the different options and the exact style I was looking for (a very journalistic, candid approach), and she was adamant that I be straightforward with her, since she wanted to deliver the kind of services that I wanted. I hired her that day.
We kept in touch about twice monthly until the week of the wedding. She coached me in different varieties of formal shots available and what my options were. She asked for a specific list of "special" moments that I definitely wanted captured and didn't want her to miss. Per our contract, she would drive to 3 locations during the day with her assistant, and I gave her a timeline. The day of the wedding was the big blizzard of 2009. When I called her that morning (around 9- about 5 hours before she was scheduled to arrive at the first location), she was already on the road driving to pick up her assistant and then onto our house. I was astonished at her readiness and willingness to drive in such hazardous conditions, but she was glady and happily on top of it! I told her that we were cancelling the ceremony (which we were at the time), and that she shouldn't try to drive out here. She felt so terrible and was concerned that we wouldn't reschedule, but I assured her that we were rescheduling for January 2 and she readily agreed to the date.
The day of the rescheduled reception, January 2nd, Laura was there with her assistant about 1/2 before the start time. She came into the bridal dressing room and introduced herself and her assistant to the rest of the bridal party and began taking formals of me and my bridesmaids. Throughout the night she checked in with me and was readily available for candids and impromptu group shots. She showed me and my husband some great shots she had gotten throughout the night and even when she told me she was leaving and started packing up (we were still at the reception dancing long after she was scheduled to leave), she saw some great photo opportunities at the last moment and took all her gear back out in a split second to get the shots.
At the end of the night, she presented me with a voucher. Our contract, before the blizzard, stated that she was contracted for 9 hours of photography service. Since we had had our ceremony despite the blizzard, at the last moment (my photographer cousin took our ceremony photos), we only needed her for the reception. The reception was only 5 hours, she was there for 6, and the voucher was good for a free 'newly wed session', for 3 hours, with all prints retouched and freely given. I was taken aback with gratitude and shocked at her integrity. The caliber and quality of Laura's photos speaks volumes of both her talent and character. I recommend and will continue to recommend her without reservation, to anyone looking for outstanding quality in all their photography needs.
