No words can describe the amount of hustle and bustle going on at this very moment.  Kelle and Nick have a TON of friends and family that were anticipating this wedding.  We were about to head off to the beach for portraits. Kelle walked in, and the world stopped for a moment. “Nick’s first look.”

  • Michael (The Groom)

    All,

    I first met Laura on my wedding day & we immediately hit-it-off. Rest assured she’s the real deal; full of talent and personality. Laura & her faithful assistant Hope attacked our wedding like the NY Giants in Super Bowl XLII.

    Laura,

    Thanks again for your hard work & dedication. You helped make our day very special. Best wishes to your business & family.

    Sincerely,
    MichaelReplyCancel

  • Hope (assistant)

    Laura,

    Well, I for one am NOT surprised at the end result. You had everything going for you that day…gorgeous church, gorgeous couple, NYC as your backdrop, and genuine raw talent…what more could you ask for!

    To Karen and Michael, I wish you a world of happiness and never ending love….especially with that gorgeous little girl on the way. When I watched the dvd version, it brought tears to my eyes. Karen, I am soooo happy it worked out the way it did, and that I was a part of it all, along with the utterly talented Laura. Michael, thank you for the kudos, much appreciated.

    Now I need to land Laura a wedding out here in Portland, so I can relive the moment!!

    Laura, I’m afraid you may have to shoot my wedding one day 🙂

    I love you, girl!

    PS-my favorite shots are the one of Michael dancing with Karen, doing the (whats that move called, the swim or something??). It’s too much, he looks so happy! And the other is the very last shot of them on the balcony, with their noses rubbing…now THAT’S love!

    Love,
    HopeReplyCancel

  • Hope,

    You were an amazing assistant. If I could fly you with me for every wedding I would, in a heartbeat… Damn you Portland for taking her away!!! I know you will be living an amazing experience there.

    Love you too! We miss you here already.

    ~Laura

  • Karen (The Bride)

    The minute I saw Laura’s website I knew she had “it” and I wanted her to shoot our wedding. I never even looked at another photographer and I have absolutely no regrets.
    Our wedding was out of a fairytale and Laura was a huge part of that. Her energy and enthusiasm radiated and the outcome was more than I had hoped for.
    We have so many beautiful pictures to choose from, I don’t know where to begin. The dedication and diligence she put into our gallery and slide show was unimaginable.
    Thank you Laura and Hope for capturing the beauty and joy of our wedding and giving us memories that will last a lifetime.ReplyCancel

  • Lidia (mother of the groom)

    Laura, the wedding pictures are absolutely amazing. I look at them almost everyday, and still can’t choose which ones to select for our album — they are all so beautiful…You did an outstanding job.. of course what can I say as the mother of the groom, they are an absolutely gorgeous couple,, stunning.., but pictures don’t lie, and you captured the beauty of their special day, and thanks to you both Michael and Karen will have these fantastic pictures to remember their wedding… Thank for your hard work and enthusiasm.
