Lauren D. Sent on 12/22/2022I can't stop looking at these photos!
Laura was the very first vendor we booked. She did such a beautiful job with my sister's wedding. I was so excited to reach out to her as soon as we were engaged. Laura shot our engagement session and our wedding at Barnsley Resort. She also connected us with her associate Corinne who shot our small, private wedding the weekend prior in the chapel at Christ the King. Corinne did a phenomenal job with our intimate ceremony and I'm so happy we booked her to capture the moment. At our engagement session, Laura made Jared (my husband) & I so comfortable. Neither of us are very fond of taking photos, but she made it easy and fun. I absolutely love how they turned out. At our larger wedding celebration, Laura was so detailed and concise. Even when outside circumstances caused delays in our timeline, she worked quickly and clearly to get us back up to speed. All of the portraits and details photos are stunning. And surprisingly, some of my favorites were the dance floor pictures! She captured the fun and special moments all throughout the night. We couldn't stop smiling as we look through the gallery and relived the night. Thank you so so much Laura! -

We worked with Laura's associate, Corryn Goldschmidt, for our engagement and wedding photos and were absolutely blown away by her creativity and passion for photography! The photos are stunning and literally works of art. It's hard to choose a favorite because there are just so many good ones! Throughout my wedding day, Corryn's calm spirit was much needed. Even though it rained during the time we were supposed to take photos, Corryn kept a positive attitude which also helped me stay positive! And the photos that she took in our wedding tent (the rain plan) turned out to be some of my favorite ones. During the reception, Corryn captured the warmth and laughter of each guest beautifully. The best part was that my husband and I were able to enjoy the whole evening without feeling like there was any paparazzi! Corryn was around but peacefully in the background and her presence was never a burden or a distraction from the celebrations. I would 1,000% work with her again and am so grateful for her support! Laura was great to work with too - very communicative and organized.
ALSO I should mention that we got all of our photos back in record time!! They are so quick that you barely have to wait to get the photos back! -

Where do I even begin... hiring Laura was the very first decision we made planning our wedding and she was worth every penny. We spoke several times leading up to the wedding about our vision and types of shots we wanted to get, and Laura delivered in every way.
Laura is super calm and organized. She is very detail-oriented and seamlessly managed wedding day photos for a 100 person family + wedding party.
Laura's turnaround time was outstanding; her and her assistant took 2,000+ photos, provided a preview in under 1 week and returned the full package within 3 weeks of our wedding day. Her post-wedding platform for viewing photos makes it very easy to share with friends and family and has has client-only features, which allows her client to manage what can be shared.
Lastly, Laura was extremely flexible with our schedule. We did an engagement photoshoot in Atlanta (where she lives/our wedding was), but Laura also flew to New York City (where we live) to do another shoot. She is worth EVERY penny!!! -

Laura was our photographer for engagement photos and wedding and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. We're just starting to get preview photos from our big day and they are absolutely stunning. Laura is tremendous at her craft and we'd highly recommend her to anyone. -

Jordan Sent on 10/30/2020A must-have for your wedding day!
Laura is absolutely incredible and a must have for your engagement session and wedding day!! As a wedding planner myself, I know how important phenomenal photos of your wedding day are. Laura's calm demeanor is exactly what we wanted on our wedding day with our wedding party and family members. She captured every photo on our shot list, and some truly amazing candid photos that allowed us to see our wedding day from everyone else's point of view. From the initial phone call through to the final call prior to the wedding, Laura focuses on what is most important to the couple and their family to make sure to capture it all. Laura is a must have for preserving your wedding day in photos! -

Laura is truly exceptional! We hired her to take our engagement and wedding photos and I honestly couldn't be happier with our decision (and I haven't even seen all my wedding photos yet!). Photography was the most important thing to my husband and I on our wedding day. We did tons of research and when Laura came across in our research after one conversation with her, we knew she was our person. She is so thoughtful and catches everything. She has a creative eye and is so professional and sweet. She is so very so talented! Her pictures tell this unbelievable story of mine and my husbands love for each other. I can't wait to see our book and the rest of our pictures! -

Alexandra Sent on 06/05/2019Hire Laura!
The most important vendor hire to me was photography. I searched for weeks on every platform I could find. I came across Laura and immediately knew I wanted to hire her. Her pictures were very clear and seemed to capture real life moments. They told a story of the wedding day.
When I got my pictures back, I knew I was right. The pictures told the story of our wedding day so beautifully. The quality is evident in her portfolio. What isn't evident by looking at the pictures is her personality.
Laura and her team were a calming presence throughout the day. They were respectful but got all the shots they needed. We were under a pretty tight timeline, and I still got over 1,000 edited pictures capturing every memory. They did their best to get everything that I wanted.
We had an incident in which a church coordinator became very rude and abrasive which Laura. I was rattled, but Laura was calm. She responded with grace and continued her work.
I was very happy with how my pictures and the day (working closely with Laura) turned out! -
User1662350 Sent on 06/15/2014Laura was one of my favorite vendors. She is responsive, prompt, and shot both our engagement and wedding photos. She did such a beautiful job that I'm amazed that my husband and I could ever look so photogenic. She was definitely above expectations and for those who are not big on taking pictures/posing/etc, Laura will do an excellent job at coaching and positioning you just right, so that you will get both lovely and fun pictures with perfect lighting - even in harsh sunlight. She caught moments of our day that I did not even realize she was capturing, but she told our story perfectly. -
User1509332 Sent on 01/16/2014I fell in love with Laura's photos on her website and blog immediately after we got engaged. I can't imagine working with anyone else for such a special time in our lives. She is so sweet and professional. We did an engagement shoot and it felt extremely natural and the pictures turned out great. We had her take photos at our rehearsal and our wedding.You can just feel more emotion with her photos. I wanted nice photos to remember our wedding but even more...I wanted to feel the same excitement and love we shared that day everytime I look at our photos. I can't tell you how happy we were we picked her as our photographer. She is an amazing photographer and an amazing person. She was so calming on the wedding day and yet she was able to organize our huge wedding party to take photos. She also sends preview photos shortly after the event because she knows you are waiting anxiously to see some of the photos. My family and I were very thrilled to have her for such a special weekend.

Shavonn A. Sent on 07/07/2013I can't say enough great things about Laura and was fearful to score 5 stars for fear the word get's out about how good she is and I won't be able to book her again! Top notch quality, professionalism and awesome personality.
All my guests even noticed and complimented us on her work before even seeing the pictures. They were only commenting on her professionalism and interacting with our guests at the time until they saw the pictures and we were overwelmed with more compliments.
My husband and I are both VERY particular, perfectionist and super detailed oriented and could not find one flaw. We were extremely satisfied with both our engagement and wedding pictures which ended up featured in major publications because they were that good.
We interviewed several photographers and found Laura's pricing equaled the quality of service she offered which spelled value to us. Don't do what we did. Save the time of interviewing and just go ahead and book Laura and start focusing on the next task on your bridal list. You won't be disappointed. We were so happy to have Laura capture the most important day of our lives and look forward to calling her for family photos, anniversary photos, polaroids in the backyard, x-rays, sonograms- you name it. We're calling her! -

Jill Sent on 12/12/2012After having a photographer crisis 6 months away from our October wedding (aka busy season for photographers), I was scrambling to find a new photographer & came across some of Laura's work. I fell in love instantly. Amazingly, she still had our date available...so we booked her immediately, and what a blessing that was. I am very picky about pictures, and if you've done some research you can quickly see that all photographers are not created equal...between pictures being grainy (not crisp), composition being awkward, lighting being off, images being washed out, and the photographer just not having a good eye, I felt like I was searching for a needle in a haystack for our perfect photographer...and Laura is just that. Her images are truly a work of art…they are crisp, well-composed, perfectly lit, beautifully presented, and they tell the story of the day in a way that we will treasure forever. Needless to say, we are so very pleased with our pictures. On top of her beautiful work, Laura is a wonderful person…she is responsive, professional, reassuring, helpful, accommodating, and the list goes on & on. We would highly recommend Laura / Artstar to everyone because she is definitely a cut above the rest!! Thank you, Laura, for bringing our wedding to life & giving us such beautiful keepsakes of our day through your pictures! -

Omar Sent on 02/28/2011The photographer who did our engagement photos ended up being unavailable for our wedding date. I was heartbroken as he did my sister's wedding as well as capturing our engagement (my husband's idea). My husband and I were scrambling to find another photographer we liked just as much admist leaving for a big trip to Germany and all of the holidays (we were engaged at Thanksgiving).
We encountered reviews of ArtStar through Wedding Wire and also saw that she had done a previous wedding at Montaluce Winery & Estates, which is the venue we had already booked. We fell in love with Laura's work on her website and my husband emailed her the night before we were leaving for Germany (I think it was the day after Christmas!). To our surprise Laura emailed us immediately and communicated with us over the entire holiday week and while we were traveling internationally with a huge time difference. She assured us of her services, quality and availability. She worked with us to find a package that both fit in our budget and included all of the things that we wanted (including her awesome photo booth).
Laura met us at Barnsley Gardens to conduct our engagement photo session and it was the most fun we have ever had! I knew as soon as I saw my engagement photos that my wedding photos would be stunning. Laura has a great eye for the light and finding the artistic value in a seemingly everyday moment.
The day of my wedding arrived and Laura was on time and professional the entire event. Despite the disorganization of my day caused by my wedding planner, Laura was easy going and flexible and captured all the photos I hoped she would. The photos were exactly as I knew they would be-AMAZING!
From the very first contact to right now where we are still designing albums, Laura has been a dream come true. She is super affordable with no compromise on quality. She is more like a friend than a vendor and if I could give her a 10 out 5 and a big hug I would! Besides actually getting married, Laura was the best part about my wedding day!
Thank you Laura!!
Lindsey and Omar
