    Professional People & Perfect Photos!

    We had the pleasure of working with Laura for both our engagement photos in Chicago and our wedding photos in Columbus, OH. She met with us multiple times before the days of our events to make sure she properly captured the type and quantities of photos we desired, and she 100% delivered on everything that we were hoping for.
    During the engagement photos, she made us extremely relaxed and excited for our photo shoot, and we seamlessly traveled to multiple indoor and outdoor locations across a very loud and busy downtown Chicago.
    On the day of our wedding, we joke that Laura felt like another bridesmaid while still doing an exceptional job throughout the day. As multiple small stresses and social curveballs were thrown her way (e.g., party members getting ready, family logistics, etc.), she was amazingly professional and personable with bridesmaids, family members, and other vendors.
    Most importantly, all of our photos from both events turned out PERFECTLY. Her style of no crazy filters or complex poses beautifully and, most importantly, genuinely captured our big day. We continue to go back to both our digital and printed photos frequently to relive these memories that Laura and her team honored in the best way. We highly recommend her as your photographer!

    Laura is AMAZING! Such a boss lady!

    Laura was absolutely amazing and I would 100% recommend her to anyone who wants photos that look elegant, clean and timeless. On the day of our wedding, Laura made sure to capture all of the important shots without asking us to pose a million different ways or walk miles into scenic backdrops - our photo time got shortened by a brief rain shower, so we had to change our photo locations at the last second and Laura was unbelievably adaptable and professional. We LOVE the way our photos turned out and will cherish them for years and years to come. They are truly timeless - no crazy filters or weird angles, just gorgeous shots that captured US!

    Working with Laura on our daughter's wedding was one of the most gratifying experiences we had. She is exceptionally talented, professional, kind and wonderful to work with. Her work is impeccable and she captures some of the most amazing, candid shots you'll ever see! The day was flawless and she added so much to making it all so perfect.

    From the first time I met Laura I knew she would be the photographer at my wedding! We met with her at her studio where she took her time to run through the process, show us examples of photos and really discuss what she offers to her clients. About a month before my wedding, she reached back out to us to get detailed information about the day, learn the names of our family and wedding party, and ask us if she could help in any other way. It was just amazing - it made me feel like she was a part of our day.
    On the day of the wedding, her and Naomi showed up early and started taking pictures. We wanted to do a first look and family pictures before the ceremony and she helped us to keep on time and keep calm.
    I just received my photos back and they turned out amazing...i am so happy with the photos i knew she took but then I saw all these great photos of my guests and candid ones of people dancing.
    I highly recommend her as a photographer, you can't go wrong having her photograph your big day!

    Laura (and her assistant photographer Colleen) did such an AMAZING job with photography for our wedding. We honestly could not be happier with the experience we had, and the quality of the end product!!

    Laura was super responsive right from the start when I emailed her to see if she would be open to taking on an out-of-town wedding in Green Bay, Wisconsin during a peak summer weekend. It was a longshot, but I was familiar with her work from when I lived in Chicago and she did professional headshots for me (which people always compliment me on!) so figured I would reach out.

    We did not do an engagement shoot prior to the wedding, but both Laura and Colleen were so fantastic at getting to know us, our bridal party, and family that it didn't present a problem at all on the big day. They did a great job at getting all the photos we wanted, but we still had a lot of fun especially doing bridal party photos between the ceremony and reception.

    Here are some of my favorites - cannot recommend Laura enough. Have known lots of brides that are very "meh" about their wedding pictures once they get them back, and we are so happy to have had the opposite reaction and to have so many wonderful memories of our wedding day captured beautifully by Laura!!

    We loved having Laura as our photographer for both our wedding & our engagement photos. We did not want to have to constantly "pose" for pictures throughout the wedding day & were looking for someone who was able to capture real moments & take natural shots. Laura's style was perfect for that, and her great eye for detail made all the shots even more wonderful.

    Laura shot our NYE wedding in downtown Chicago and exceeded our expectations in every way possible. I reached out to 50+ photographers and interviewed 15 (yes, photography was the one thing I went a little crazy on). After all my research, Laura was the clear pick. She was professional, but laid back and personable, which helped make my husband and I feel much more at ease and shone through in our photos. I received so many compliments from our families and guests about their great interactions with Laura and about our BEAUTIFUL photos. She captured every important moment without causing distraction.

    Save yourself the time that I put into my endless search... You won't find a photographer better than Laura Witherow in Chicago.

    Laura and Mike were absolutely PERFECT for our wedding! We had an emergency with our previous photographer booked a few weeks before our wedding and Laura was referred to us from a friend. Immediately after speaking with her over the phone my husband and I fell in love with all she had to offer, we knew it was a perfect fit. Laura is fun to work with, vibrant, very familiar with all of the perfect shots to capture, a great listener and very professional. All of the portraits Laura and Mike captured turned out AMAZING, she had them to us very quickly after our wedding and we were unable to pick one favorite because we LOVE them all so much. I will definitely be referring every bride I know and am beyond blessed to of had Laura and her assistant capture our special day!

    Laura and her team truly are the best to work with! They were so very accommodating, easy to work with, and even helped my husband feel relaxed when photos were being taken. I would highly recommend Laura and her team to any bride-to-be. Why not take one less stress out of wedding planning and work with a vendor that actually listens to you and then follows through with amazing photos you will cherish forever?

    Laura was an incredible photographer to work with for our wedding. From the moment we meet her we knew she would be amazing. She really listened to what WE wanted and also helped to guide us in creative ideas and places for both our Engagement and Wedding Photos. All of her responses were timely and professional. The second shot she brought for the wedding was great as well. When it came to the “Day of” she was early and incredibly helpful to keep everyone on schedule. She was also really great at dealing with big groups of people and getting everyone together for a shot. This came in incredibly helpful when we took extended family photos after the wedding and for our bridal party shots.

    Our photos turned out better than I could have ever hoped. She not only got beautiful shots of all the people who shared our wedding day with us, she got all of the little details too! The variety of photos we received really helped to encapsulate our day and tell our story. From the shots of the necklace I wore from my godfather, to us exchanging vows, to everyone celebrating with us on the dance floor, nothing was missed. Not only were the photos beautiful but we also received them in a timely manner which so many of my recently married friends were jealous of!

    Laura truly went above and beyond more than I think I could ever express in an online review. One of the most amazing things she did for me was to commemorate my grandfather as a part of our wedding day. My grandpa fell very ill shortly before my wedding and about a week out we knew he would be unable to attend the ceremony. Knowing how important my grandfather was, she helped to arrange for us to visit him in between the ceremony and the reception and took pictures of the moments we shared. She handled a delicate situation flawlessly, helping to coordinate with us and our vendors to ensure this could happen. I will cherish these photos forever as they were my last moments with him.

    Laura is amazing!! Two close friends used her for their weddings as well, so I knew the quality was great, but she is wonderful to work with!! From our first meeting, we knew she was the best choice. You can tell she knows what's she's doing and is able to keep things calm at an otherwise, hectic time. Our engagement pictures are awesome but our weding pictures are better than I could have hoped for! We've gotten so many compliments on the quality of them and we haven't even seen all of the pictures yet! I would recommend her to anyone in a heart beat!

    I was referred to Laura through a friend of mine and once I met her, I stopped my search immediately.

    Laura and her team were incredible to work with! I was planning our wedding from out-of-town and had multiple phone calls with Laura before the wedding. She even took time out of her weekend to meet me for coffee when I was in town. She had great insights into how to structure the day and I was so comfortable leaving some details up to her, since she was the professional! The day went perfectly and, despite very blustery weather, Laura was calm, cool and collected as we braved the outdoors for some shots! Her photos of our reception and, most importantly, the dance party are fantastic.

    Laura was particularly sensitive about family dynamics and made notes about our families and friends so that on the day of, group photos were smooth and seamless. Thank you Laura!

    Laura Witherow and her team did an amazing job capturing the energy of our wedding! We still can't believe some of the shots she got that capture our humor and our friend's and family's humor! I can't say enough great words about her professionalism and easy nature. Absolutely nothing went wrong with our photos and we will cherish them for life! We love you Laura Witherow and Laura Witherow Photography!!!

    Laura is amazing to work with! My husband and I do not have one complaint! Laura was early the day of our wedding, she helped stage our first look pictures and she got great shots at the wedding. Laura had a very calm demeanor which is very comforting on your wedding day. She makes sure she takes the pictures you want, but goes above and beyond to capture great moments. Laura is very passionate and great at what she does!!

    Laura is by far the best there is. Laura has done a bunch of my friend's weddings so when I got engaged, it was a no brainer. To start her photos are beautiful and she captured moments on my wedding day I would never have seen if she wasn't there. She was easy to get in touch with, flexible when it cam to scheduling, made everyone feel comfortable posing for pictures, and was really invested in our day and knowing what pictures we wanted. The proof is in her beautiful pictures!

    Laura and her assistant, Breane, were a dynamic duo at my wedding. They were flexible and responsive to what I was looking for in my wedding pictures. They successfully shot all of the guests and the amazing decor with unique creativity. As a storm was driving through our outdoor wedding Laura was a relief to work with. She helped calm my nerves and then created excellent alternatives for pictures for my husband and I. They came out gorgeous. I recommend Laura Witherow Photography!

    Laura Witherow photographed our wedding in Chicago last month and we could not have asked for a better experience. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and we were thrilled with her services, so much that I am writing this review off of the blog/preview photos we have received. I am confident the final drive of photos will be as exciting/beautiful as the initial preview selects.

    Throughout the entire planning process, Laura was extremely easy to work with and very responsive. Her easy going personality made us feel very comfortable being photographed. It felt like we had known Laura for years as we paraded around town to document our big day.

    I think it is very easy to get caught up in the mayhem/excitement/stress of planning a 200 person wedding, but by hiring Laura we did not spend a minute of our time worrying about the photography. Her vast experience and creative vision spoke for themselves and she was one step ahead of us the entire way.

    Thank you, Laura!
