Hey, I'm Laura
Meet Your
3rd wheel
I traded hard hats for love stories (yes, I used to be a construction engineer!) and now I get to spend my weekends chasing first looks, happy tears, and packed dance floors.
My goal? To tell your story in a way that feels effortless, emotional, and completely you.
When I’m not photographing weddings or boudoir sessions, you’ll find me wrangling my toddler, convincing my husband to re-watch Marvel movies, or sneaking away on my motorcycle. If you’re looking for a photographer who will hype you up, keep the timeline stress-free, and catch the moments you didn’t even know were happening... I’m your girl.

What about travel & time?
It’s 50% down to hold your date, and the rest is due 30 days before the wedding. Your retainer is non-refundable because I’m saving the date just for you and turning other couples away. If the balance isn’t paid on time, your date may be released and all monies forfeited.
You’ll get sneak peeks within 48 hours and your full gallery within 90 days. There isn’t a guaranteed number... the final count depends on your timeline, your guests, and how the day flows. My job is to tell the story of your wedding in a way that feels complete, not to chase a quota.
Yes! Standard retouching like skin smoothing, blemish removal, and color correction is included on every delivered image. If you want more (like body tweaks, background swaps, or object removal), those requests are outsourced at up to $25 per image. I never provide RAW files... the edits are part of my signature style.
I’m your exclusive contracted photographer, which means no other pros can be hired or allowed to operate during my coverage. If someone else is interfering, I may ask them to leave, or I may leave myself if the situation isn’t resolved. I’m not responsible for missed images if other photographers, videographers, or guests get in the way.
Your package is booked as “up to X hours” of coverage... if you wrap early, no refund or credit is given. Travel includes up to 50 total miles roundtrip, and if we’re bouncing between multiple locations, those miles add up. If I ride along with you (party bus, limo, etc.), you’re responsible for making sure I get back to my car at the end of the night.
