Absolute Hero, from photographer to potential friend.

It was an absolute privilege to have Laura photograph our wedding. From our first meeting to receiving our presentation box Laura has been absolutely fantastic.
We weren’t keen on super formal photography and Laura managed to capture the perfect mix of family photos and natural shots.
Laura was absolutely brilliant on the day, I absolutely hate being photographed but Laura really made it fun and relaxing with a bit of adventure chucked in for good measure. So many of our family and friends have commented on how natural and unobtrusive Laura was. For Seb and I, Laura just felt like another friend having as much fun as everyone else.
Everybody has commented on how much the photos mirror the day and every time we have looked through them we have smiled and laughed at the memories.
Laura you absolutely nailed it!
10/10 would use again.

Book Laura as soon as you can!

Laura deserves every 5-star review here. From start to finish, Laura has been exceptionally friendly, professional, knowledgable and reassuring.
She put everyone at ease so quickly that people asked us how we knew her outside of the wedding... we don't, she is just that good!
Everyone was in the right place at the right time on the day, the candid and staged photos are incredible and the photo album at the end is presented really well and is very easy to access and curate afterwards.
As with many weddings, we were so busy throughout the day that we missed some moments when we weren't present. Laura was able to capture many of these so we could discover and enjoy them after the event for the first time - this was lovely to do after we had calmed down from the excitement.
Our message to you: We really cannot recommend Laura enough!

Laura was amazing!

We first met Laura at a wedding fayre and fell in love with her work and style immediately! Both my partner and I are quite shy and not naturally comfortable in front of the camera and we were able to discuss this with Laura in a catch up a few weeks before the wedding. Laura was amazing at putting us at ease and making us comfortable and confident with the posed shots. Additionally, Laura took some amazing candid shots which were perfect in capturing the emotion and real moments of our special day. All of our guests loved her!

Laura was not just our photographer but also at hand to help us with button-holes and words of wisdom throughout the day.

I cannot recommend Laura enough and we are so pleased with all of the photos.

Thank you so much for amazing pictures and memories

From the moment we first spoke to Laura, we knew we’d made the right choice. Her clear and open communication from the start made the whole process stress-free. She took the time to understand our vision and explained everything so well that we felt completely confident about what to expect.

When it came to the quality of the photos, we were blown away. Laura has an incredible talent for capturing not just moments, but the emotions behind them. Every image feels alive, full of joy and love. There are so many standout shots—it’s impossible to pick a favorite! The sheer number of beautiful photos we received far exceeded our expectations, and they truly tell the story of our day.

On the wedding day, Laura was a dream to work with. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about her—many told us, "Your photography is off the charts! You’ve captured so much emotion and joy, all while being fun, engaging, and respectful." She was incredibly sensitive to those who are camera-shy, putting everyone at ease and somehow making us all look amazing. Her warm and friendly personality added so much to the atmosphere.

We cannot recommend Laura highly enough! If you’re looking for a photographer who’s professional, talented, and truly cares about making your wedding unforgettable, Laura is the one. Thank you so much for giving us such beautiful memories to look back on—it means the world to us. ❤️

AWESOME Wedding Photographer

Laura was incredible from start to finish. She is friendly, personable and professional. She knows her stuff and clearly loves what she does. She was also able to give us some really valuable advice about some other aspects of the day too!
On the actual day Laura made everyone feel at ease and loads of our guests commented on how impressed they were with her. We honestly couldn't be happier with our photos and will honestly cherish them forever. We would highly recommend hiring Laura.

Laura is an angel

If you want a photographer who becomes like family, captures your special day perfectly and makes you feel absolutely amazing then Laura is your person. She is unbelievably talented and captured our wedding day better then I could have ever imagined. Laura had photographed my sisters wedding 2 years ago and as soon as I got engaged she was the first person we booked, she helped with finding our venue and was there whenever I needed a cheerleader, a hair touch up, a friend and an unbelievable photographer. We cannot thank her enough she is the best. We love you! Love The Stoners 💚

Laura is great

Laura was brilliant. She didn’t take any sh*t, got involved when needed (even staying later into the evening) and made us completely at ease in front of the camera. We both loved her approach to taking the photos and we’re very excited to see the results. She’s great!

The best photographer we could have wished for ❤️

I couldn’t recommend Laura enough! First of all her pictures were fantastic - the style was just what we wanted: relaxed, informal and beautifully shot!

Having Laura there on the day (and her husband as second photographer!) was a fantastic addition to the day. Not just for the photos, but her support from getting ready all the way through to the dancing. She talked to guests, got everyone in the right place and was in general a calming and delightful presence to be around us on our day.

After the wedding Laura shared our pictures with us very quickly, even sending us an early group shot so we could include it in our thank you cards.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Laura is everyone, and wouldn’t have wanted to have our day without her.

Amazing service and pictures to treasure for a lifetime

Laura was amazing start to finish, we found Laura on Hitched and loved her photos. We were unsure if the travel from the South to North was going to be too challenging but Laura was buzzing at the chance to shoot for us at a newly built venue. We discussed all the options over a coffee and Laura made sure we knew exactly what to expect on the day and the build up offering advice throughout if needed. Disaster then stuck with Covid and Laura worked with us with the constant changing of dates, her help and understanding through that time was very needed. Then as for the day, Laura captured everything we wanted and ensured that the end product was perfect! She made us feel super relaxed and was like having a friend with us capturing our special day on camera. We truly can’t recommend Laura enough and the end product obviously speaks for itself. We can’t stop looking at the photos, even a year on!! Thanks again, Dan & Courtney

Thank you Laura!

Laura was our photographer on our wedding day and also at our traditional tea ceremony the day before. Before the wedding, we enjoyed chatting to Laura and felt that she really did want to try and get a sense of what we wanted from our photos and what was important to us.

On the wedding day, with everyone rushing around trying to get ready, Laura was calm throughout and offered excellent advice on things we didn’t even consider.
She got along with everyone, but I was particularly touched by her kindness towards my mum. Laura’s energy level never seemed to dip during the two days of activities, even with both days involving travelling to multiple venues. You could tell that Laura has a lot of experience of different types of weddings and events, she was unfazed by cousins and uncles also trying to take photos and videos while she was trying to get her shots. She handled everyone firmly but never rudely and with a lot a patience.

We really enjoyed having Laura with us on our day. We’ve had our photos back and I’m not a big fan of photos of myself, but even I found a few where I don’t think I look too bad.
Thank you Laura!

An Incredible Experience

Laura was an absolute gem to have as our wedding photographer. She is SO organised and on point with her directions on the day, all of my family and friends loved her and still rave about her and all the beautiful pictures we received. I cannot thank you enough Laura for making our day so special and capturing the perfect moments - also for going along with our crazy ideas of taking a ferry away from our wedding to get the perfect shots/running for taxis and from rain showers. We would recommend her services 100% to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

The best photographer out there

We absolutely ADORE Laura and her work. We booked Laura because we'd seen first-hand her great work at two other weddings, so we already knew she'd be wonderful. Both before the day and on the wedding day itself Laura was super supportive, encouraging, reassuring, and accommodating. She made us feel so at ease and we're so so happy with our photos. Highly recommend Laura! :)

Wonderful photos

We got married in October 2023 and we were so please with the whole service and end result from Laura. She was extremely organized in planning, and put us at ease with the planning and gained an understanding of our venue and what we wanted from our photos. On the day both her and the second photographer were excellent, helping us where needed and putting us at ease for fantastic photos. We even did a superman! All the guests said how lovely the photographers were and how wonderfully the photos turned out. It took around 7 weeks to turn the photos around which was faster than we were expecting. We have these to keep forever and would highly recommend booking Laura. Thanks again!

From our initial intro call to all the beautiful photos - she made it so easy and so beautiful for us

She took the time to get to know us as individuals, as a couple, our vision for the big day and how we wanted our day reflected in our photos. She fully immersed herself in our day - getting ALL the important shots we wanted and more. We wanted soft tones and pops of colour and WOW did she deliver the most stunning photos. Lots of candid beauty but also those all important mantelpiece photos for the parents. She wasn’t afraid to jump fences or lay in the grass to get the perfect shot and she made sure to capture all those special moments you could never imagine being captured through a lens. Couldnt recommend Laura enough! ~ Georgie & Robbie, September 2023
