I'm so overwhelmed with happiness that we had Laura as our wedding photographer, that I'm writing this review having not even seen our photos yet (our wedding was just last night). From our (earrrrrly) morning start, to our sparkling ending, Laura & Makayla made our day nothing short of MAGICAL. Of all the wonderful aspects of working with the Laura, because there are many, the most meaningful to me is that she truly cares about her clients. She takes the time to learn all about you-your concerns, your quirks, and the things that are most precious an important to you on your day. And when you meet her you can feel the passion she has for her work radiating off her. She was able to manage our large group with ease and a with a genuine smile that never left her face. Both Laura and Makayla are bubbly and fun and shared in the joy and the craziness of the day right along with us, even out on the dance floor! We've spent a lot of time making the rounds today saying our 'thank-yous' and 'goodbyes' to our guests, and I am not kidding when I say nearly every single one of them has mentioned how incredible and fun these ladies were to work with. To hear this from our guests makes me certain that Laura and Makayla were able to capture the most authentic emotions of the wedding, and we are beyond thrilled to relive the magic of the night over and over again through the photos. We feel truly blessed to have worked with Laura, we would recommend her a million times over. ~ Kaitlyn, Bride (day after the wedding)
Ryen & Kaitlyn were such a treat to serve as their wedding photographers. Their trust and prioritized storytelling let us hunker into the hybrid of editorial and journalism. Both leaned into both the downtimes and the on-times and by the end of the evening were feeling the FULLNESS of family and party and romance and ALL. THE. THINGS. Here are a few highlights of their wedding day!

Ryen & Kaitlyn nailed some really neat personal details in their gifts for their wedding party. With robes and boots and sweet customized cuff links, the classy approach to western was delightfully consistent.
The MOST exciting thing for us is being able to share the happiness of our special day with our family and friends. Our top priorities when trying to find the right photographer to tell our story is finding one that captures the small details, the candid moments and the raw feelings and emotions of the day. To have the uniqueness of our love as a couple, but also the special relationships with our loved ones come through in the photos, so they bring us right back to the moment every time we look at them! - Bride & Groom (from their initial inquiry)
after a genuinely fun and meaningful time with friends anticipating the ceremony, it was time to walk the aisle. the ceremony was precious and simple. The backdrop glowed with the setting sun and immediately pictures with family followed.
bridesmaid and groomsmen portraits were so fun with champaign and sunflares. the girls glowed and let down their hair for some special celebratory fun
