Christine Sent on 02/19/2021Laura perfectly captured our day and our personalities
I know a lot of reviews claim to have the best photographer but Laura was the absolute best choice for us. My husband and I were looking for a photographer for our Miami Beach elopement. We contacted Laura and she already had plans to be in Miami that same weekend for another wedding. Talk about serendipitous timing! We had a meet and greet call with her and instantly connected with her positive energy.
This is my and my husband's second wedding. It definitely doesn't make us wedding photographer experts :) but having another experience to draw from made us know what we liked and didn't. Some of the things about Laura that really stood out for us were:
- Her communication. Laura stayed in touch throughout the process, including when she safely arrived in Miami, and provided lengthy, detailed responses to all of our questions.
- Her energy! She's so fun to be around and made us instantly comfortable in front of the camera. She also gave us plenty of direction so we had a variety of poses.
- Pre-elopement, she put together a cool mood board with screenshots of different areas of our venue where we could take photos, along with a list of must-have shots. We thought that was a nice touch.
- Laura delivered sneak peek photos THE SAME DAY AS OUR WEDDING! She sent us a link to 20 edited photos a few hours after our time with her. It meant a lot to us to be able to quickly share some photos with our parents who were itching to see them.
- The private, online client portal made downloading and ordering our photos super easy. There was also a link that made it easy for us to share with friends and family (and for them to order photos too).
- Laura was happy to have our venue and vendors share our wedding photos on their social media pages and websites, and even reached out to them directly to let them know where they can access the photos.
- We were blown away by the photos she delivered. They are stunning! She perfectly captured our day and just as important, our personalities.
- She's an inclusive photographer and offers her services to everyone. It's awesome that she mentions this on her website. It's super important to us to work with vendors who share these values!
Laura is amazing at what she does. We cannot recommend her enough! -

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but after receiving our wedding preview from Laura and her photography team, my husband and I were truly speechless. And that was just the preview! Laura, Catherine, and Katelyn created a beautiful wedding library we’ll cherish forever. They perfectly captured the emotions of the day, working seamlessly to preserve every special moment as it unfolded. If you're unsure, let our stunning photos speak for themselves. Book with Laura and her team—you won’t regret it! -

Laura was an absolute dream to work with! As a Type A Bride who actually works behind the camera, I was very particular about who we chose for our photographer. Even before we had the chance to jump on Zoom for our initial call, I knew I would click with Laura. She's professional and passionate about making sure her couples feel comfortable and taken care of and it shows in her incredible work. After just a few conversations, I was confident that she would execute our vision and she knocked it out of the park EASILY! On our wedding day, I felt like everywhere I was, Laura was right beside me or behind me capturing moments that I didn't even know were happening. It was amazing to look back through our final gallery and see so many special shots of family & friends. I couldn't recommend Laura + Drew enough. If you want to have a stress free experience and get the service you deserve, please don't hesitate to book with this team! -

We used Laura as our wedding photographer for our wedding last year and truly cannot rave about her enough! She nailed my vision for my wedding photos perfectly and captured the day beautifully. I had sent her a vision board of some inspiration photos and the photos she captured were even better. We could tell she really took the time to research the venue and find out what we wanted ahead of time so the day would go smoothly. And as a type A person, her prompt responses always eased some of my wedding planning anxiety. Along with her talent, the professionalism and friendliness went unmatched! She was such an amazing person to work with, cannot recommend her enough!!! -

Deirdre Sent on 10/26/2024Authentic Joy Captured
We cannot rave enough about Laura Memory Photography and the pure art that Laura can create with her camera! I originally found Laura on Instagram and loved her ability to capture candid, authentic, and genuine joy in her clients. While I was wedding planning, I decided to somewhat secretly try out her services and booked a photoshoot with two of my best friends. The pictures Laura took of the three of us are so precious to us, and I’m so grateful that she captured this moment in time of our friendship.
It goes without saying that I really wanted Laura as our wedding photographer after such a wonderful experience with my friends. We quickly booked her for our special day and took advantage of the included engagement photoshoot, which we planned a trip to the Biltmore for.
The thing I love most about Laura is her positivity and the fun that she brings to her photoshoots. We had such a FUN time shooting our engagement photos, and the joy and love that me and my (now) husband have for each other is evident in the photos. As someone who isn’t always the most comfortable being in front of the camera, Laura helped with posing (where do I put my hands??), movement, and direction without being overbearing or making the photos look stiff. She works magic.
On our wedding day, Laura was there on time to start taking detail shots and captured all the moments (from dress reveals to wedding party group shots to ceremony moments to reception dancing). Honestly, it was like having a best friend and a sneaky paparazzi photographer with us the whole day. Her and her associate Raquel were lovely to be around and you could see their artistic brains working to set up incredible shots that are just gorgeous.
Laura is incredibly responsive via email, professional and positive during photoshoots, and impressively speedy with getting your sneak peeks (and full gallery!) to you after your wedding/photoshoot. Her photos aren’t the stiff, formal photos that you often see for weddings, but way more authentic and personal. I love how she captures movement, genuine laughter, and all of the small moments that mean so much. I couldn’t recommend her more highly for your wedding, maternity shoot, friendship photos, family photos, etc., and I can’t wait to work with her again!

Maria Sent on 05/01/2024They are THE best!
Where do I even begin? From the moment we inquired with Laura and Drew, I knew our wedding photography was going to be something truly special.
When we initially reached out, we weren’t even engaged yet, but knew we HAD to have them for our day and they made it easy to feel like that would be possible! The biggest thing you need to know going into this process is you don’t just want photographers, you want people who become confidants, listen to your every idea, and make your day uniquely yours. That is Lura and Drew. They took the time to understand our vision and worked tirelessly to bring it to life, offering valuable insights and suggestions along the way.
When working with them, it was very easy to feel their genuine passion for their craft and unwavering dedication to their clients. Their ability to make capture our day in pictures that made anyone who saw them feel, was exactly what we wanted and what we’ll cherish so much for all the years that come. They also made our entire wedding weekend feel like a breeze. Despite the inevitable chaos (that can particularly radiate when we were the ones running the wedding at a cabin in a remote part of WV instead of a venue), they radiated calmness and positivity, which put me at ease being an anxious bride haha!
Being in the creative field as well, it’s not often that you come across people who not only excel at what they do but also genuinely care about the people they work with. Laura and Drew are those rare gems. They are more than just photographers; they are friends who share in your joy and celebrate your love as if it were their own and you’d be crazy not to have them capture your day! -

Karen Sent on 01/19/2024Amazing Experience with Laura Memory Photography!
Hiring Laura for our wedding photography was a total win. She's super professional and always on the ball. Communicating with her was easy and stress-free. She really listened to what we wanted and totally delivered.
Her prices are totally reasonable, especially for the quality of the shots we got. Every picture tells a story and we couldn't be happier. Laura has a great eye and her photos are just stunning.
In short, Laura was awesome to work with. Our wedding photos are amazing, and we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. Big thanks to Laura for making our day even more special! -

Tessa Sent on 01/19/2024The best decision we made on our vendor team!
There is nothing quite like the peace and joy and love and laughter you feel when you spend your wedding day with Laura and Drew. Hiring Laura and Drew was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. Not only did they capture every moment perfectly, but they have an incredible eye for special genuine moments shared between guests. We never felt awkward or rushed and we were constantly being hyped up by them. Not only are they talented at what they do, but they are also just genuine, lovely people. The photos and the memories they captured for us are precious and incredible. Hire them!! 10/10!! -

Laura and her crew are absolutely the best option for remembering the moments at your wedding. Not only does she take stunning photos but she is professional, kind, and an expert at all things wedding. She made me feel like everything was handled and gave great advice. I would highly recommend her and her business to anyone for any life event. -

Could not have asked for a better experience. We had Laura's associate photographers, Amanda Graves and Jaclyn Auletta, but Laura was involved throughout with planning and did all the photo editing. The team is proactive and responsive leading up to the day, came with so much enthusiasm, and took wonderful photos. We are in love with our gallery!! -

Mary Sent on 06/23/2023Love love love laura
Y'all... I don't even know what to say about how much I love Laura and her husband, Drew. Not only did they capture our wedding day brilliantly, their presence actually made the day even better!
Laura is exceptionally great to work with. Her paperwork is easy and prompt, she responds to emails quickly, and will even set up a virtual call to discuss whatever you would like. Her prices are fair for the amount of photos you receive and the quality of her work and service. We actually paid an additional travel fee to fly Laura and Drew from NC to Orlando, FL because we loved them so much we would have paid basically any price!
Laura did our engagement photos and wedding photos. Scheduling our engagement session was easy and stress free (as was the wedding, but you probably already guessed that!). We met her in Miami since she was down there anyway. Laura was down for an adventure so we went to a botanical garden where we got eaten by mosquitos but Laura was positive and having fun the whole time. The photos are GORGEOUS and we used them for all of our wedding materials and website. We have gotten so many compliments on all of our photos!
Laura and Drew arrived a day in advance of our wedding and let us know when they arrived so we had peace of mind. They were on time to our wedding (if not early) and stayed until they were contracted to leave, not a minute early. They were having so much fun at our wedding and captured so many amazing moments. There is a very funny video of Drew eating an ice cream cone from our dessert and taking dance-floor pics, which we love! As a note, they are super fun but also take their work very seriously and were busting their butts the whole day to make sure they caught every precious moment.
Laura and Drew made us feel so comfortable. They are hilarious and go-with-the-flow but also make sure they stick to the timeline and are diligent about getting every picture you want. They arranged all of our bridal party and family photos, making sure they all looked good. You probably know that these pictures can be a little chaotic with all the people moving around but ours were a well-oiled machine thanks to Laura and Drew.
Laura and Drew are also very sensitive to family matters. We have some complicated family dynamics and they handled them like champions, making sure our day was stress free.
It is clear that Laura and Drew are committed to making sure the couple has a wonderful stress-free day. Laura carried around my extra makeup all day so I could blot my face and I'm pretty sure Drew served us drinks at one point because we were thirsty taking pictures. All of our friends are obsessed with Laura and Drew - we still talk about how much we love them several months later - because they are actually that wonderful.
Laura and Drew are EXTREMELY inclusive. We are a same-sex couple and were so comfortable with them. All of their paperwork is gender neutral, which is not something I can say for our other vendors (no shade, it's just the truth) and it was sincerely appreciated. Some of our friends use they-them pronouns and Laura was sure to get this information in advance so she could make sure to call everyone what they prefer.
We received a surprisingly large sneak peak of photos the day after our wedding. All of our friends and family were shocked at how quickly we got all those photos, but it's because Laura is an editing machine. We got all our other photos back well within the timeframe provided. There are literally hundreds of photos and every single one is perfection. Laura even did a little bit of photoshopping that I requested, which I really appreciated.
Long story short, look no further for the wedding (or other event!) photographer of your dreams. Laura and Drew are truly one of a kind (well, two of a kind) and they will make your wedding day exceptional! I wish I could get married again so I can hang out with them more. -

Jeremy Sent on 12/31/2022The Best Wedding Photographers You Can Imagine
Laura & Drew are so much more than your average wedding photographers. They bring joy, fun, and simultaneously peaceful energy that is very appreciated on your big day. To say it honestly, Laura & Drew bring an essence that is so much more than any "photographer" -- they genuinely feel like part of your wedding party! They made everyone from the young ones we had to the oldest in the crew feel loved, welcomed, and confident while shooting. Lastly, this is the first time I've even mentioned that they are incredibly talented! Both during the wedding to grab those intimate shots that really matter the most, capturing moments in time, not just a 'photo'. Beyond this, they are great in post-production, knowing that a weird light post or a strand of hair in your mom's face on the one best family picture. Like MAGIC Laura removes that item or even does a face swap with the picture where mom looked great. I 1000% recommend Laura Memory Photography to any and everyone. EXTRA POINTS FOR: 1. Anyone looking to elope, this couple would put on a parka and follow you up Everest if you wanted to. (They stayed in our venue in the Italian countryside with us for three days!) 2. If you are part of the LGBTQ+ community, or your family is, this couple supports love in all of its incredible forms. 3. You want friends for life! These two are the kind of people that you will follow their journey, and they will follow yours, because they care deep down. Your wedding isn't just a job for them, it's part of their life forever and you feel that. -

Christine Sent on 12/07/2022Incredible photographer, amazing person!!
I would recommend Laura to anyone, anywhere, anytime. From the first call, you can tell how passionate she is about her work and what a kind and warm person she is! She helped guide us through the wedding planning process from the very beginning and was so communicative. She provided incredible resources and answered all of our questions that helped us think about both the big picture and little details and helped tie everything together. On both the day of our engagement session and our wedding day, she helped create the fun and comfortable environment I wanted. She had sent a questionnaire for us to answer before the wedding that helped us plan the photo details for the day. With that information and Laura and her second photographer's guidance, the day went so smoothly and we were able to really be present at our wedding and maximize our time with our people, which we are SO grateful for. The pictures themselves are INCREDIBLE. They captured the best styled photos and candid moments made even better by their fun personalities and the vibes they helped create!! Truly cannot recommend enough! -

Laura is such a wonderful photographer. She captured such special times in our lives so beautifully - our baby announcement, pregnancy, newborn and family photos when our baby was 7 months old. She is truly an expert at her craft, she makes turning around perfect photos look so effortless. She always made us feel so comfortable and was such a natural with our baby girl. She is such a sweet, kind and encouraging person too. -

My wife and I are so happy we picked Laura and Drew to capture our wedding day! From the start, they were incredibly responsive. We had a Zoom meet-up within a week or two of reaching out to them and quickly hit it off. And throughout our big day Laura and Drew blessed us with their incredible energy. We felt so comfortable with them, which allowed for beautiful candid moments. Once the photos came back we were also blown away. They were quick with the turn around and the quality of the images was superb. We highly recommend you book Laura Memory if you’re searching for a photographer!! -

If you are in search of a photographer, search no further. Laura is your person! We booked Laura for our engagement photos and our wedding and could not be happier with how everything turned out! Laura makes taking photos easy and fun! She gives you prompts and ideas so you don't feel uncomfortable in front of the camera and by the end of the shoot, you feel like a model. On the wedding day Laura made sure to capture every moment while making sure we stuck to our timeline. Her photos truly captured the essence of our wedding and I cannot recommend using Laura enough! As an aside, she books up fast so be sure to reach out quickly! -

Laura is incredible to work with. We were lucky enough to book her in the crazy 2021 wedding year and are so grateful to have had her and Drew to work with. From the initial conversation I knew that Laura would be a great choice. Our engagement shoot was so much fun and all of the pictures are incredible. My (now) husband and I immediately printed some out to hang in our house. And those are nothing compared to the wedding photos. We got our sneak peak a week after and from that tease I knew when we got the full album we would almost have too many good pictures to choose from. I have two frames in my house I'm planning on putting wedding pictures in and I have printed out about 30 options. And the best review of all - both of our moms and the grandmothers love the pictures of all. As everyone knows it's hard to please that many leading ladies and Laura did it!
In addition to being talented, Laura and Drew are just great people. We had such a good time getting to know them and hanging out with them all throughout our wedding day. I highly recommend Laura Memory Photography for your wedding or whatever event/occasion you need photos for! -

Emily Sent on 08/04/2021Must have photographer!
Laura shot our engagement photos recently, and we had the best time! The fact that she’s willing to go on an adventure really sets her apart. We started on our dock, boarded the boat and cruised to a local island, explored around to get the perfect sunset shots, and she had a brilliant idea to end with jumping in the water off our dock. She helped us with our poses and made sure we got all the shots we were hoping for looking back through our inspiration photos. That meant a lot to me because she took hundreds of beautiful photos and was thoughtful to make sure we were happy. Laura made us feel comfortable throughout, asking questions about us and our wedding. I was nervous at first because I’ve never hired a photographer, and that went away pretty quickly because of how kind and chill she was. She felt like one of our friends almost immediately, which really put us at ease. I also loved how flexible she was with planning for poor weather. We had a date set for photos and a backup rain date that we ended up having to use. She let us decide same day because the weather was fluctuating. By some miracle the minute she arrived the sun came out and we had a perfect 3 hour adventure shoot with a gorgeous sunset. Overall, Laura is well worth choosing as your photographer for any event to guarantee a lifetime of memories and gorgeous photos!
Thank you so much Laura, for the time and effort you put into our shoot. I can’t believe you’re already done editing and gave us the album in less than two weeks. I cried as we looked at all the beautiful photos, and now I have no idea which ones to print for our home. They are all amazing! -

Laura is amazing! We planned our elopement in a short amount of time, but we knew capturing the moments of the day would be important to us. Laura helped throughout the entire process and we ended up using two vendors she connected us with, who were also amazing. She had knowledge about the area and industry that we would not have been able to navigate by ourselves. We have so many stunning pictures that capture our personalities and special day. We are so happy we went with her and are so thankful to have the amazing photographs she produced for us. -

Laura and Drew are a dream come true! The most beautiful couple inside and out to help you celebrate your big day. I am not at all a fan of all the attention that comes with being a bride but Laura and Drew were so unobtrusive and yet everywhere all the time. Their overall demeanor had me so calm and relaxed the entire night. They were just two more friends enjoying the night with us.
AND THEIR PICTURES! Oh my goodness....I literally only have a handful since my wedding was just the other day and I am head over heels in love with every single one. Laura's skills behind the camera are truly impressive. I cannot wait to hire her again for our next major event. 10/5 stars!!
