weddings: kelly & mike

NOTE, for some reason many of these images were removed due to malicious spam bots – I will be re-entering all of these photos this week! YIKES! Just what I needed!

When I first met Kelly and Mike they had not had much luck finding their photographer.  I’m happy I was the chosen one and was honored to photograph their wedding.

If you happen to stop by Shoot-Scoop, you may remember photos from Kelly & Mike’s Engagement Session or Kelly’s Boudoir Session.    We established a rockin’ energy and level of comfort which was just awesome.    Not only did I get to see these two in action previously to get a full handle of their energy, by the time their big day arrived, having the camera pointed in their faces was nothing!

I’ll let the images do the talking.  I have so many favorites from this wedding I simply cannot post them ALL.  It was difficult picking the ones to blog.

    Laura,
    My, my how you’ve grown! As your aunt, I have a biased opinion, but certainly your professionalism is shining brighter every photo shoot I have seen. Your enthusiam about your clients is apparent as “their love.” KUDOS!

  • If I can look half as good as the people in every single picture you take…then I think I need you to come over this weekend. 🙂 Another stunning wedding portfolio.ReplyCancel

  • Mr. Simms

    I totally forgot to say on your blog how happy I am to have had, and will continue to have, you as our photographer. Just so everyone knows, Laura is so much more than a photographer, and from day one she acted like she knew us for years, and made it very comfortable to be around her. Your work is absolutely amazing, and I have heard nothing but compliments. I think Kelly still looks at these photos to the day, every day. Thank you for adding to our already crazy photographer experience. ( You know what we mean)ReplyCancel
