- What was your favorite wedding photo? I really loved all of them...but if I would have to pick one, it would be one of us standing at the altar. We were holding hands, and probably saying our vows. The pic is taken from the beginning of the isle, showing the guests seated in the pews, the rose petals down the isle and also how pretty the church was.
- How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? Laurel is a very warm person and a pleasure to work with! She was not pushy at all. Very go with the flow, and allowed as much time as we needed. We gave her our little agenda, and she said "the day is yours..I am just here to help with your memories". Got some great shots during the reception of us with family and guests mingling. We went to a lake after the reception for our couple shots. It was so enjoyable!
- What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? Two Photographers. Loved working with Laurel and her husband! My husband said after everything was finished, he was so glad we picked her.
- How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? She knows what she is doing. If anyone had a suggestion, she had no problems with it. Fun, easy going personality! Kudos Laurel :)

- What was your favorite wedding photo? Laurel took amazing candid photos. There are several with friends laughing together and one with my friend and her husband smiling at one another. I also love the photos of my one year old niece with my grandfather.
- How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? She was not disruptive at all. She quietly hung in the background taking all kinds of excellent shots of the surroundings. With the candid photos she took, I was so impressed with how she caught a quick, special moment like a look between two people... That was exactly what I was hoping for, and she got it!
- What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? I received two cds full of pictures with a copyright release that allows us to print as many pictures as we like.
- How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? Laurel is so sweet and laid back. She was not at all in our face, posing us. Her pictures are all natural and real. This was very important to me, and she did an incredible job.

- What was your favorite wedding photo? Laurel did a great job with all the photos! We were pleasantly suprised when we took a look at the photos she took. They are very professional, clear, creative. She doesn't just do the normal shots, but she uses creative lenses and angles to get great shots.
- How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? Laurel was all around taking tons of pictures during our wedding, but she was hardly noticed. She did a great job of getting the action on film, but not disrupting the wedding. And there were lots of great candid shots...those are the best.
- What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? Tons of photos given to me on CD's. Groomsmen photos. Bridesmaid photos. The Bride getting ready photos. All of that.
- How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? Just by doing a great job...by being in the background but getting great photos. You can tell she know what she is doing.
Review:Passion. Style. Creativity. This is Laurel...

- What was your favorite wedding photo? Laurel has been doing our family portraits for over 2.5 years and has captured moments with our boys that I would have never been able to capture otherwise. In September 2008, Laurel came to our home to do portraits of our (then) 2 year old and 8 month old, since they would be more comfortable in their own surroundings. They were so comfortable, in fact, that they proceeded to play and giggle with one another the entire time. My favorite shot was of our two sons looking each other, face to face, giggling with laughter and joy. It will always be my favorite as it really captured the relationship they have with one another.
- How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? My favorite style of photography is candid's, which Laurel is amazing at. But she is also great with portraits and action shots. Whether it be the kids playing, our Christmas portraits or my maternity portraits, Laurel excels at every style and level of photography. Laurel is and has been very accommodating with making sure we stay comfortable in front of the camera.
- What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? We have only ever requested DVD's, but again, she accommodates for every need and want with our memories.
- How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? As stated previously, Laurel has always been extremely professional but also a sweet spirit which is so important when photographing children. My husband, kids and I have always been able to be ourselves, which in turn, allows Laurel to capture the most intimate moments that would not have been possible otherwise. I love Laurel, her professionalism, her character, passion and style. You can tell she loves what she does and her confidence is undeniable. She is the best photographer we have ever known and if we had known her before we got married, she would have been the photographer for our wedding.

- What was your favorite wedding photo? My favorite photo is one I didn't even know Laurel took! I was laughing about something between portraits, and she captured it. It expresses all the joy I felt on that day, and I was totally unaware it was being taken. The quality of our photos dramatically exceeded our expectations. Not because they were low to begin with. Rather, the photos were simply exceptional in every way, capturing memories that will last a lifetime. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
- How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? Many of our quests commented on naturally she fit into the evening, almost without being noticed. She has a very calming energy about her, which allows her to be present without drawing attention to herself.
- What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? We modified an existing package and opted to have Laurel come to our rehearsal dinner instead of taking engagement pictures. She had an assistant with her, which was very helpful. She was incredibly prompt in providing a disc of the pictures, not holding them for a lengthy amount of time like some photographers do.
- How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? Laurel was fantastic at directing me, along with the bridal party in a way that exuded control, professionalism, confidence, and comfort. She did an especially good job wrangling my very large family for group shots and was very considerate about our special needs including one family member in a wheelchair and many children. We could not have been happier with photos she ended up with.
