What Couples Are Saying
Maryann
We can't recommend Laura enough! She was an absolute pleasure to work with and made us feel so comfortable for our engagement shoot. We originally had to reschedule our shoot because we both came down with an awful cold, and Laura was so flexible even in the height of wedding season. She really knew how to capture us at our best, and the pictures turned out fantastic. She captured our love in the most beautiful way, and we will definitely be sharing these photos for years to come! I would absolutely recommend her to anybody who is looking for an all-around amazing engagement/wedding photographer!
