We highly recommend Laurie. She is easy to work with, professional and very accommodating. She made us feel so comfortable. We could not be any more pleased with the incredible photos she captured on our special day. We look forward to working with her again.

Laurie was an amazing photographer. She captured the emotion and special moments of our wedding beautifully, and the romance perfectly. The colors of her photos and the angles of her shots were awesome. Our pictures are of amazing quality. I am so impressed with our pictures and love sharing them with others. Laurie also went above and beyond on our wedding day, teaching me how to carry my dress, traveling with us to various sites for pictures, making sure we all looked great when taking the pictures, looking for the unique moments to capture, and even bringing me a plate of food so I could eat before the reception! We highly recommend Laurie and will be using her again ourselves.

Are you interested?

Laurie was great and easy to work with. We communicated often about our ideas and visions of how we want the pictures to come out and the outcome was more than we expected. Laurie is very talented and worked all our needs and wants.

When my partner and I decided to get married we knew we wanted something small BUT we also knew we wanted a big party! We ended up just "eloping" on a beach in our current home of California. However almost all of our family and friends are back in Minnesota, so a reception "back home" was in the cards. Living over 2000 miles away led to some stress with trying to figure out how to plan and who to hire. Who to hire for pix stumped me for a bit until I remebered Laurie Schneider! who I actually got to know through rentning an apartment above her old studio. I was soooo excited to get in touch with her again (finding her online of course:) and she was right on ball the ball, getting back to me within the same day I sent her an email, and having no problems working with me from long distance. She was so professional the day of the reception working with us and our famlilies for some posed shots( which was not the most fun due to my parents being divorce, my dad with his new girlfriend, my partner's brother brought his new girlfriend whom my mom-in-law did not get along with, cousins that showed up early and wanted to chat with us right in the middle of the shoot, you know the basic crazy wedding family:). We had our reception at the Science Museum of MN in St. Paul, and we have some absolutley beautiful shots of us with the river in the background and looking out some of the floor to ceiling windows. Great candids of our guests, really fun pix of our "first dance" such great shots of the set up I think the Musuem owes her a commission(haha). After it was all over she was also great about letting my mom pick up the pix(as we had headed back to CA). So not only was it great to see Laurie again, it was awesome that she was able to be there for us, take some great pix and wish us well for the future. I wish her the best of luck and when we need a photographer back in MN in the future she will be who we call:)

Laurie is absolutely amazing! I loved all my photographs and she captured the memories with impecable timing. She truly is an artist not just a person who takes photographs. She sees things that no one else sees and she captures that. She goes un-noticed in the room adn yet she was able to take a ton of shots that I never even saw happening. It made our memories even greater since she was in places that we couldn't be. She captured my husbands and I's smiles at one another when we didn't even realize the camera was on us. They are the best shots of all. We have ordered a ton of prints from her and have recommended her to every one we know. We had a little girl 2 years ago and had her do a family photo shoot and they also turned out wonderfully. We just had our second daughter and Laurie will do another shoot for us. We highly highly recommend her.

Laurie did an amazing job capturing our big day! She takes wedding photography to the next level. She was able to manage our 20 person bridal party and both of our families, and still be able to capture the small intimate details throughout the day. If you're looking for someone with a creative approach to wedding photography, Laurie is your gal!

Laurie came highly recommended to us by a friend and we are pleased to recommend her highly to anyone in need of a photographer. She took the time to meet with us personally in order to bring out our personality and style in each and every photo. She is not a "stock" wedding photographer which we saw so many examples of. We look forward to visiting Laurie again now that we have a new baby and anticipate having Laurie chronicle our family for many years to come.

My husband and family and I are all so happy we chose Laurie to do our wedding photographs! The entire experience with her was amazing. She guided us through the entire process using her expertise to let us know what to expect and what would make for some world class photos. When the day came, we were prepared and excited to make it happen! Laurie is so personable that she really made it fun for all of us. Then when we saw the proofs we were over the moon! She had really captured the joy and love and beauty of our special day. We had no idea how well the photos would turn out!! I will enthusiastically recommend her to my friends and co-workers and neighbors without hesitation. My family and I are sold and she will be our official "family" photographer from now on. We just couldn't be more pleased with the outcomes. Laurie really has a gift which surpassed our expectations of what was actually possible.

Laurie is a gifted photographer. My husband and I are still awestruck by our photos and appreciate her photography more and more every time we look at our album. Words we would use to describe our photos are artful, luminous and thoughtful. Working with Laurie was a positive experience; she is organized, responsive, sensitive and ethical. In particular, Laurie takes stunning, almost magical, outdoor photos. Our wedding was outside and Laurie used our surroundings to enhance the beauty and sacredness of our marriage.

We loved the shots that Laurie took for Trisha and Patrick's wedding and reception. She really captured great moments with them . Also, she took very awesome pictures of their venue; the James J Hill Library. Highly recommend.

From the very beginning Laurie was easy to talk to. The consultation was a casual conversation through which we shared thoughts, feelings, and creative ideas. Knowing that I was just beginning my journey through the wedding planning process, she also offered insightful advice and recommended talented vendors. If there were any doubts, her energy and spirit through the engagement photo session crushed them. Through the ceremony and reception we barely knew she was there; but the photos captured exactly what we had hoped for� the moments we missed with all their warmth and happiness; making me feel as though I hadn�t missed them at all.

Our daughter had the best day with Laurie. The photos turned out more like art then simply capturing the overt moments of a wedding. She surprised us with the number of angles and thoughtful artistic contributions of all that was happening and was hustling the whole evening.

Laurie communicated warmly, patiently, quickly and clearly to all guests being photographed, making people look comfortable and natural in the photos as a result. Her professionalism (on time for every meeting) and obvious long-time experience (suggesting ideas, locations in the space, which really helps because then the families, venue, flowers etc. all come out looking beautiful) included more than expected to the memory of the day.

She is an artist and a professional. You get magazine worthy results!

We absolutely loved working with Laurie. I met with a number of other photographers before meeting Laurie, but at our first meeting I knew immediately that I wanted her to capture our wedding for us. I was so impressed with her artistry, and her willingness to use both 35mm and digital. The pictures turned out fantastic, and we have used her since our wedding for additional portraits.

Through attaining Laurie Schneider as our wedding photographer years back, she has become a good friend throughout the years and we have consulted her on all of our future professional photography needs, whether it be our family pet portraits, holidays cards, or other special occasions. I have referred many of my friends, family and acquaintances to her and they have loved her. Laurie is wonderfully creative and produces beautiful photographs, that in our family, will be shared and passed down to many generations.

Laurie is an absolute gem. When we got our pictures back, we couldn't fine ONE bad picture in the bunch, and there were hundreds. She is amazing to work with, and went far beyond our expectations. She is personable, flexible, and very knowledgeable.

I couldn't recommend Laurie any more strongly, she does GREAT work, and is an awesome person as well.

Laurie was wonderful to work with from start to finish. Our wedding happened during a December blizzard so severe many of our guests were unable to attend. Laurie's drive took her hours to make and she had to wade through streets and drifts to get herself and her equipment to Forepaugh's in time to take photographs.
We've had the photographs for several weeks now and are having Laurie make a wedding book for us. Every time I look at the photos I see something new in them. She manages to capture each moment in a fresh yet classic way that brings out every nuance from intimate emotions to the colors and depth of light that create the setting. I have seen these dimensions captured in paintings more often than photographs.

We absolutely loved working with Laurie and feel lucky we were able to have her capture this once in a lifetime event. After seeing our photos, other family members did not even look at other photographers and booked Laurie as well. She was very professional and a unique ability to capture "the moment". From start to finish this was a wonderful experience working with Laurie.

Laurie did a fantastic job of capturing our day! As we looked through our wedding pictures we felt like we were actually reliving the day. Everyone we show them to has the same reponse "beautiful pictures" The phone meeting we had a few weeks before the wedding was great to get a general idea of what shots we wanted but she was very open to changes on the day of as well.
