Hi! I'm Laura!

I’m a wedding and brand photographer for creative and adventurous hearts and and your resident work-life balance aficionado. I’m so glad you’re here!
My favorite thing in life is sitting out by my fire-pit with a glass of Riesling and a s’more in hand with friends and family surrounding me. I'm rarely ever found without a warm blanket wrapped around me, and If my wallet didn't frown upon it, I’d probably buy everything in Anthropologie Home and Free People.

Ohhhh you guys. I am in love with this wedding! Allison and Brad’s Canoe Brook Country Club wedding is so dreamy! You may recognize these wonderful people from their recent engagement session at Willowwood Arboretum, you can see here! Allison and Brad are just the type of people you want to surround yourselves with. Their families and friends were all “solid” as Andy, their Best Man would put it. And that’s just it. They are solid people. They’re the type of people who would have anyone’s back in a second and just surround themselves with wonderful people. I could tell from the minutes Allison and Brad’s mothers walked into the bridal suite it was going to be an emotional, yet wonderful day. They were surrounded by friends they’ve had their whole life, and are lucky to have a great group of high school friends, since they met when they were in middle school!

In the short amount of life they’ve lived they have done it fully. They studied together in Australia, lived life in the mountains in Colorado and Jackson Hole, and explored and endured countless adventures together! I am so excited to continue watching their adventures unfold.

Gorgeous mismatched dresses from J. Crew and my very first Mrs. Box ring box to photograph also awaited and I was SO EXCITED! I love these things, they really give the ring have a beautiful home and adds a special touch to the day!
