About

Weddings are still my absolute favorite to document even today after 19 years in the business! I love telling the story of each couples day and capturing unique personalities, expressions, and moments. I also love to use a bit of fine art photography techniques with flash skills I have learned over the years. Afterwards, I want you and your family and friends to look through your gallery and relive the day through the images!

I am based in the St. Michaels/Easton area on the eastern shore of Maryland where I grew up. In addition to Maryland, I am available for wedding and portrait shoots in DC, Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania and beyond. I love to travel so please reach out for destination travel rates! During some of the winter months, I may be sailing in the Bahamas where I am available with no extra travel fees. I am available for destination weddings everywhere and to date have documented weddings in Mexico, Dominican Republic and the Bahamas.

I started my business in 2005 and have documented over 300 weddings to date and hundreds of portrait sessions. I absolutely love what I do and would love to document your special moments!

Photos We'll Cherish for a Lifetime

If you want epic lighting photos that candidly tell the story of your wedding day, book Laura now.

The search for a photographer is overwhelming. We didn't know the lingo so didn't know how to describe the types of photos we wanted. We obviously needed the typical posed family groupings, but we also wanted lots of candids that captured all the emotions of the day and where you could hear the laughter or see the movement of the dancing. We didn’t want crazy Instagram-esque filters or extreme styles like the airy bright and washed out clouds look or dark and moody look. We really wanted something in between with rich colors and epic sunset sky shots.

Finally, we came across Laura’s portfolio, and we immediately loved her photography style, which she described as "documentary." Every photo we scrolled through was a winner and felt like she read our minds. We set up a meeting with Laura and she was just so down to earth yet completely in control. Within a few minutes, she had our entire wedding day's schedule planned out for us to the minute and in our inbox. We were absolutely floored by her impeccable organization and immediately knew we had to book her.

Laura's rate included an engagement shoot, which she strongly recommended. We've been engaged for a few years so didn't plan on doing one, but are so glad we did. Not only were the photos absolutely stunning, but it was a great practice run before the big day without the stress. It also gave Laura a chance to get to know us and our story, which she actually remembered and used on our wedding day to make us smile and laugh. Laura provides a list of suggested locations, from which we chose Waterfront Park in St Michaels. She knew every inch of that place and within an hour we had a variety of photos on the water, in the field, on the street, and some insane lighting on the covered bridge.

On the wedding day, Laura's second shooter was Rachel, every bit as talented. Together they took care of every single family grouping in record time and truly documented the entire day from start to finish. Our friends and family looking at pictures honestly don't remember seeing them take half the shots. They somehow even captured a family moment that barely anyone else saw but was incredibly important to us.

Within 24 hours, Laura had a "preview" post on her blog with a bunch of winners. Honestly those would've been perfect from any other photographer, but then we got the full package a few weeks later and were blown away. She delivers them on a website where you can share or order prints, as well as a custom USB drive for safe keeping.

We have a digital frame cycling through our favorites, and every single day we can't help but smile at them. We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives and will always be glad we chose Laura. She was worth every penny, so if she's available for your day, book her fast - you won't regret it.

Stunning Photos, Great Photographer

Laura is AMAZING. She photographed our wedding in September, and our engagement photos last winter. From start to finish, Laura was so organized, friendly, personable, professional, and a extremely talented photographer. She has a great process to get to know her wedding couples as well as to organize the wedding day photo-timeline (getting ready, newlywed photos, family groupings, etc.). She was always so prompt and helpful whenever we had questions. And most importantly, the photos she took were truly stunning. She has a catalog of her past engagement, wedding, and family photo sessions on her website that showcase how skilled a photographer she is. She captured so many wonderful moments during our engagement photo shoot and our wedding day. Everything from the lighting and framing of the photos, to the emotion and the smiles and the fun — she captured it all beautifully.

Laura is a real PRO!

Laura is a real pro! She has a subtle way of directing the wedding party (also known as "herding cats") in order to get the perfect photos. She coordinated with my wedding planner to ensure the timing of everything was perfect and we ended up with beautiful photos of our special day. Definitely recommend Laura and her team for your special event!

Laura originally did a shoot last Nov and I was impressed then, but more recently did a photo shoot of an elopement aboard my grandfathers yacht Selina II in St Michaels MD, and the photos were fantastic! She took one pic from inside the cabin framing our couple that totally captures their spirit. Her eye is very creative- Capt Iris
