A truly amazing photographer ⭐️

We owe you the biggest thank you Laura!! Thank you for making our day so perfect and for capturing the most beautiful photos - they captured our day perfectly! You went beyond what we could’ve hoped at wished for from start to finish and made us feel so comfortable, adapted to the weather and knew exactly what we needed and when - you made our day run so smoothly! Thank you for fitting in with our wedding party so well, we had so many compliments from guests! We couldn’t recommend you enough and anyone is lucky to have you part of their day ⭐️⭐️

Choose Laura Helen Photography!

Laura was fantastic from start to finish. Firstly, the pictures are incredible and being someone who usually feels very awkward in photos she kept things relaxed and fun, had great ideas and guided us so that we now have so many beautiful memories of our day. We can't stop looking!
Laura is super friendly and very responsive to emails and questions. The pre wedding chat was so helpful to make sure that the day was captured how we wanted and without taking up too much time with the formal bits. The pictures came through really quickly afterwards as well, just amazing service and value all round with her time and expertise before, during and after the wedding. Thank you!

Gorgeous Photos!

Laura photographed our wedding at Holmes Mill and all I have to say is wow! Not only are the photos gorgeous, they truly made us feel like we were reliving our big day as she'd captured it all and the happiness of the day. Laura herself was so lovely and kind, made us both feel really at ease and was really professional, so professional our guests didn't even notice her during the ceremony! I truly couldn't recommend her enough.

A pleasure to work with!

We hired Laura to photograph our simple, village hall wedding in the Lakes. Laura acted with amazing professionalism, she was great at helping organise people (e.g., for confetti) and has provided us with a lovely gallery! She was great at prompting my partner and I (who do not have our photos taken often), allowing us to have some lovely photos to look back on! We had some sneak peaks a couple days after the wedding and the whole gallery was delievered very promptly.
Thank you so much!

Wedding Photos

As a couple who hate getting their photos taken, Laura did an amazing job and we got some great pics. Really happy with them. Great communication from first meet to the big day. Laura was also very good at moving along an unorganised bride to get ready and even helped with my dress! Added bonus of receiving our photos back less than a week later. Highly recommend.

Simply amazing ❤️

Laura was our photographer on Friday and we have just received our sneak peak photographs. Wow! Laura was with my wife before the wedding and really put her at ease whilst taking pictures. She then joined me at the church and did exactly the same. Throughout the day, Laura guided us to where we needed to be with a calm and kind approach that included lots of laughter. Our guests have consistently commented on how amazing Laura was and how lovely she was to everyone. We couldn’t recommend Laura enough and we cannot wait to receive our entire album. Thank you Laura ❤️

AMAZING! Just what we wanted!

Laura was so easy to work with! I actually forgot she was there a lot of the time! We had the best day and I’m so grateful Laura was our photographer.
I love the soft style and candid photos.
My only wish is that we had booked the full day package and had more photos! As they were so good!
Thank you, Laura!

Just Amazing!

A whole year has passed since we celebrated the most beautiful day with our secret elopement. It still feels like yesterday!

Laura was the most incredible photographer, capturing our day so perfectly that we couldn’t have asked for anything more. We genuinely love every single photo, and looking through them brings back all the emotions from that day. If we could do it all again, we absolutely would.

Laura was so relaxed, kind and patient throughout, especially with our two young children, which made the whole experience feel effortless.

Choosing a photographer isn’t just about finding someone who takes beautiful photos—it’s about choosing someone who helps make your day even more special. Laura did exactly that, and we’ll always be grateful.

Thank you so much, Laura ❤️

10/10 photographer

Laura is an incredible wedding photographer, and we couldn't recommend her more highly.
She was so professional from start to finish. She seemed to zip around all day, capturing beautiful moments we hadn't even realised were happening, all while being so discrete that we barely noticed she was there.
The photos are absolutely phenomenal, and her editing is stunning. We genuinely can't stop looking through them.

Laura brought such a lovely presence to our day and made us both feel completely comfortable and natural in front of the camera which is no small feat, as neither of us enjoy posing! She gave just the right amount of direction, helping us get all the shots we wanted without spending hours away from our guests.

Her communication throughout was excellent, always quick to respond, and we were amazed to receive preview photos within a day of the wedding. Our guests all commented on how friendly and approachable she was too.

We'd also highly recommend doing an engagement shoot with Laura. It was a great practice run before the wedding, helping us feel much more relaxed in front of the camera, and we've ended up with some wonderful memories and photos that we'll treasure forever.

If you're looking for a talented, professional photographer who captures genuine moments and makes the whole experience effortless, Laura is the perfect choice.

Laura was absolutely fab!

Laura was absolutely amazing from start to finish! She made us feel so comfortable and captured every special moment perfectly. It was over 30°C on our wedding day, but she worked so hard all day without missing a beat. We were also blown away to receive our full wedding album in less than a week – such an incredible turnaround! We couldn’t be happier with our photos and will treasure them forever. I honestly wish I could get married all over again just so Laura could take our photos again! Highly recommend! ❤️

A perfect wedding photographer. It felt like she was part of the party which made everyone relax.

Laura is an absolute professional and yet it feels like she is your friend. The booking process through to the telephone call ahead of our day were so relaxed and Laura put us at ease straight away. On the day she was so friendly and nothing felt posed at all. The whole experience was great fun and felt completely natural. And the photos - honestly Laura has knocked it out of the park. The joy captured through her photograph will be a lasting reminder of the most magical day. Everyone who has seen our pictures (even our sneak peek) has said that the happiness is palpable. We would have no hesitation in recommending Laura to potential couples. She is amazing.

Wonderful!

We cannot recommend Laura enough! From start to finish, Laura was amazing to work with, being incredibly patient with us while we did a constant weather watch, and helping us navigate a tricky forecast with a calm and positive attitude.
Laura captured our special moments perfectly, blending into the background while also directing us to get the best shots… even with a toddler, dog and a whole lotta rain! Our favourite shots are candid, natural and reflect the wholesomeness of our intimate day surrounded by our nearest and dearest. She hit the brief and captured the beauty of the scenery, making our venue look absolutely magical. Thank you for giving us memories we will cherish forever.

Friendly, beautiful photos

Laura was fantastic! She was very friendly and responded quickly from the beginning, was very flexible with us and what we asked for. On the day she took beautiful shots without being imposing - we barely knew she was there! The photos were returned to us very quickly after the wedding too. Would absolutely recommend!

Thankyou Laura!

Couldn’t recommend Laura enough! She was amazing from start to finish and so friendly. Neither me or my husband are very comfortable having pictures taken but Laura made us feel so at ease and our wedding photos are stunning♥️

Lovely, friendly photographer

Laura Helen was absolutely amazing as our wedding photographer. From the very beginning, she was so friendly and easy to talk to, with great communication throughout the whole process. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble for her.

On the day itself, she truly went above and beyond. Not only was she incredibly professional, but she also helped out with so many little extra things that made a big difference and kept everything running smoothly.

I usually hate having my picture taken, but Laura made me feel completely relaxed. She has such a calm, reassuring presence that I barely even noticed the camera most of the day, which is saying a lot!

On top of that, the turnaround for our photos was so quick, and we couldn’t be happier with them. I’d recommend Laura to anyone looking for a talented, supportive, and all-around lovely wedding photographer.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
