Laramie is absolutely amazing! She graciously took us on as clients last minute after our original photographer canceled. From the very start she was our ally and so helpful during...
the process. We loved being able to spend the day with her and will treasure the photos forever. Cannot over recommend!!!!
Laramie was our wedding photographer for our Chicago wedding last summer along with her husband Dylan as her second-photographer, and the whole process was a dream! Where do I even...
begin?!
The planning process was smooth and stress-free. Laramie helped us organize family photo groups, portrait location spots, and recommended a schedule that made the entire day run like a well-oiled machine. She couldn't have made the process easier!
When the wedding day came, Laramie was the BEST to work with. She kept to her timeline, and organized our very large wedding party and family without a hitch. We loved how the photos felt organic, too. She really made sure we felt comfortable and the photos represented us as a couple. Best of all, we had so much fun! My husband hates taking pictures, and five minutes into the process he smiled at me and said, "Wow, this is the best experience. Laramie and Dylan are the best!" I could repeat the day over and over again and wouldn't change a single second or photo that was taken.
Now, onto the wedding photos... we were completely speechless when we received the sneak peaks, and then the full album came along. There are no words to describe how beautiful the images were. They were absolutely breathtaking. We receive compliments constantly on how good they turned out. Laramie and Dylan could not have captured the day more perfectly. We are forever grateful to have these memories for the rest of our lives!
I can't sing Laramie's praises enough. If you're looking for someone who will make you look natural on camera and capture those sweet, authentic moments from your wedding day, A Wa...
ndering Creative is the only pick. Her photos speak for themselves -incredible technical skill, and exactly the look we were hoping for - but working with Laramie and Dylan make our wedding day even better.
How can I possibly say enough good things about Laramie? She is such a beautiful and kind spirit who captures the most gorgeous images. I couldn’t be more grateful that we snagged ...
her for our wedding photography and videography. She and her husband, who tag-teamed the photo and video, were so lovely to work with and helped make our day be about us. They kept us on schedule, gave us breaks, and made us laugh, all while creating magic with their cameras. Truly an amazing experience! Looking through all of the photos gives me chills and puts me right back in all of the best moments of the day. So gorgeous.
Wandering Creative exceeded all my wildest expectations! From our first contact, Laramie was communicative, thoughtful, and anticipated our needs. Despite unanticipated hurdles the...
day of, like timing delays, a sudden downpour, and flickering electricity, the WC team worked tirelessly to ensure we had a stunning gallery that captured all the most magical moments of our surprise wedding. WC navigated every aspect of the day with the utmost professionalism, welcome humor, flexibility, and grace, and we couldn't be happier with the entire experience! The photos are everything we wanted and more. THANK YOU!
Laramie and Dylan were amazing! They were so easy to work with and help us with our comfort in front of the camera. We got all of the pictures we wanted and so much more, including...
beautiful candids taken throughout the day. We couldn't recommend them more!
We had a last minute out of state wedding in Memphis right in the middle of fall wedding time.
I was nervous hiring a vendor I’ve never heard of in a town I’ve only been to a hand...
ful of times, and running out of options. As soon as I found Laramie all of that disappeared.
She was on top of everything from the start! Her and Dylan are both incredibly talented, and bring a calming presence that is invaluable to the chaos that is weddings. The day goes by so quickly, so many moments I feel like I missed. And she caught them for me to hang onto. The smile on my parents face, the laughter between groomsmen, Laramie has an eye for the important moments. We can’t wait to have another shoot with her when we are in the area!
Laramie was absolutely wonderful! Working with her on all the details of the wedding was so easy- I truly felt heard in every conversation. She was ready to adapt into every role a...
nd aspect throughout the night. My husband and I were every nervous about the picture process and feeling awkward but the pictures came out amazing. We couldn’t get enough compliments about the emotion portrayed through the camera. We would absolutely recommend her!
When I was searching out photographers for our September wedding, I knew I wanted someone who could focus on more than just us and delve into the details. The first time I saw Lara...
mie's photos, I fell in love and hoped she was available for us. Not only was she, but she was so sweet and worked within our budget to give us everything we needed!
I cannot begin to express my gratefulness for just how professional, but also personable both her and Dylan were on the day. It made everything feel worlds easier, and I was so much more at ease than I would have been had they not been around!
I completely trusted they would capture the best of every moment, and they more than delivered what I was expecting! We had a good time, we were able to laugh with them in the more intimate moments and just be ourselves, and the photographs they sent back to us were absolutely amazing. I could not be happier.
If you are looking for someone professional, personable, and who loves doing what they do, I cannot recommend Laramie enough! You cannot convince me there is someone else better in the area!
Laramie and Dylan photographed our wedding this past July, and we can't say enough good things about them! We absolutely LOVE our photos! Neither of us are super comfortable in fro...
nt of a camera, but Laramie made it so fun, easy, and made us look natural and not awkward! She captured the essence of all of the moments- the joy, the love, and all of the excitement of our wedding day! We love that she captured so many pictures of us in the moment and not just posed pictures. Her photography and editing is so artistic and beautiful. We are planning to print photos for our wall but we can't decide which because there are so many good ones!
Before our big day, Laramie talked us through everything and they met with us a couple times to make sure everything would go smoothly and answered all of our questions.
Laramie sent us a few sneak peaks while she was editing our photos too, which was so nice!
We recommend A Wandering Creative to anyone looking for gorgeous, artistic, beautiful photos!!
Laramie is a phenomenal photographer! She made the whole process easy from start to finish. Excellent communicator, extremely professional, if I could give her 10 stars, I would. N...
ot only did she produce gorgeous photos for my wedding, but she is also a very sweet person and made our photo session a blast. While she photographed our ceremony, she was so quiet that I forgot she was there, and I didn't feel nervous at all. For your next event, hire her. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer or wedding album.
She is the best. I had found her before COVID hit and she was very sweet and profesional to work with to reschedule our event. Finally, we recently had our wedding last month and s...
he was the greatest. My husband and I are very shy when it comes to photos and we didn’t feel awkward when she was taking them. We both felt comfortable and happy.
Best photographers ever!!!! Laramie and Dylan photographed me and my husband’s wedding, and the pictures came out better than we could have ever imagined!!!!!!!The attention to det...
ail and the experience they have is unparalleled. I literally cried when I saw the pictures she took of us after the wedding. Thanks to A Wandering Creative I have the most timeless and candid photographs of our wedding that will forever be able to show anyone how magic our wedding night was. (Side note, we considered several different photographers and A Wandering Creative gave us the most patience and service and they also had the best value for photography service.) We are so glad and thankful to have found such an amazing photographer!!!
Laramie and Dylan were absolutely incredible. We were on a very tight timeline between wedding events and we were really worried we wouldn’t fit everything in, but somehow they mad...
e it happen! Our gallery was delivered to us quicker than we expected, and the photos are absolutely to die. They match our aesthetic so well and beautifully captured the love we felt that day. We will truly cherish them all for the rest of our lives. If you’re on the fence about hiring your wedding photographer, I highly recommend A Wandering Creative. We’re so happy we did. 🖤
HIRE THEM NOW. I found "A Wandering Creative" via The Knot while I was in a bind and on a very tight timeline to have my engagement photos taken. The owner, Laramie, was extremely...
responsive/flexible and fit me in her schedule right away. I gave her barely ANY direction at all and asked her to take over. Our photos turned out even better than I expected and she turned them around in under 48 hours. I had HUNDREDS of options and it was extremely difficult to pick a favorite few for our
"save the dates". The entire process couldn't have been easier, she posed us, made us laugh (A LOT), guided us through every shot and gave wonderful direction. If you are still reading this long winded review then this is your sign to schedule a session or an event with A Wandering Creative, you won't regret it!
Photography was the most important thing for me in our wedding budget, and we hired Laramie for our rescheduled wedding (due to COVID) in October after we realized the first photog...
rapher we hired wasn't the right fit. She was so easy to work with, and the photos we ended up with were spectacular! My husband and I are exceedingly awkward in front of the camera, but Laramie made us look cute. She also went above and beyond to capture all the details of our Jewish ceremony and edit out some blemishes in the final photos. We could not be happier, nor could we recommend her more highly!
We hired Laramie last minute for a COVID micro wedding and could not have lucked out more. She was so easy to work with and handled my COVID precautions with grace on the day of an...
d did an excellent job making our wedding photos look normal. My husband and I are EXTREMELY awkward in front of the camera and that doesn’t show in our pictures at all. I cannot recommend her enough and if I could plaster my wedding photos on my house as wall paper I would.
Laramie helped make my wedding become masterpiece. She is one of the most sweetest creative beings I've ever met. Loved all of her ideas that helped make our photos beyond beautifu...
l. She's sooo patient , trust me, to deal with me and my indecisiveness. Everybody loved our photos!
Laramie was deeply thoughtful and loving in her approach that put even nervous folks at ease in front of her camera. She was extremely responsive in the weeks and stressful days le...
ading up to the event and turned the photos around much faster than anticipated.
Her creativity pulled forward great candid shots and made the traditional poses alive with new perspective.
I have never met a person with such vision who is also able to let the love and vision of her subjects take center stage. She managed us with grace and care.
I cannot recommend her more, she is a joy to work with.
We were fortunate to have found Laramie! She is so easy to work with, so professional. Laramie provides such excellent quality and quantity of work with incredibly quick turnaro...
und. She's very creative too, covering all facets of the prep, the ceremony, and reception. Great candids and posed shots. So many from which to choose! She captured moments anyone else would have missed, whether it was the 1 year old flower girl or the 91 year old guest, Laramie got it all. Thank you! I couldn't recommend anyone better. And her rate was good too!
