Loved having Laurie as our photographer! Her down to earth personality and attention to detail are characteristics that we first noticed. I had a couple phone conversations with Laurie throughout my wedding planning and she told me her goals and asked questions so she could get to know our style. She came out to our venue early to scout out places for our "first sight picture" and our bridal party pictures. She was very intuned to my wants/needs as a bride and I was not let down in the slightest. She kept things moving and ontime and made my day stress-free! I would recommend Laurie to anyone who wants to capture the beauty of your surroundings with action itself!

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.

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!
