hi, I'm Laura
about
Most days you will find me drinking allll the tea (obviously with biscuits), listening to my favourite podcasts, watching Schitt's Creek for the 5000th time, cooking up a (messy) storm in the kitchen and chilling with my little lovebug, my baby boy Kit. I'm a fun-loving, pint-sized meme lover, repeat series watcher, personality type & star sign addict, and an overly enthusiastic car karaoke-ist.
I like films that make you cry, love being creative and crafty and I love a good challenge. I also love to travel (aside from the inevitable still packing at midnight the night before I leave) but you won't typically find me lying by the pool on holiday. I like to get out and explore somewhere new and more importantly, find the best breakfast around!
I got married in New York to my wonderful husband Chris a few years ago. We eloped with a handful of our closest family and friends and we had just the best time ever having our photos taken in the streets of NYC. It showed me that wedding photography doesn't have to be stiff and awkwardly posed shots to still get those editorial "WOW" images, and I love for my couples to have the same experience.
UK & destination wedding photographer and your new creative partner in crime
If you just want someone to turn up, stand in the corner and take photos then I'm probably not the girl for you. And that's OK! I truly believe that the best photos are taken when you trust and connect with your photographer. That's why for me, my job starts way before your wedding even takes place! I love to hear about how you both met and all of your wedding plans; be there for you if you need me to lend an ear, make helpful recommendations and hype you up all the way to the aisle! I hope that come the wedding day you're both completely comfortable with me and it feels like a familiar friend rather than a stranger turning up with a camera.

My approach to your wedding day is a real mix of editorial and documentary. I love to capture the natural moments unfold; those "inbetween" moments and the moments you didn't even know were happening. I'll also be sure to direct if I need to - maybe towards the best light to really elevate your photos for example, or gentle prompts to make you more comfortable and feel like complete pros!
Whilst I am ALL about the photos (obviously, it's my job after all!), I also really believe that your wedding photos shouldn't feel like a "we have to" kind of thing, and that you should enjoy having your wedding photos taken! It's important to me to strike the balance of getting all of those important shots, for you to enjoy the process, and to be really present in your day and soak it all in.
