I can't speak highly enough on my experience with Laura and her skills. She was very easy to work with, communicated well, took incredible pictures and even helped manage everythin...
g including my wedding party to get the best pictures possible and get it done as quickly as possible to give us more time to enjoy the night! I loved working with her and highly recommend her!!! Will absolutely use her again for our other big life moments that need capturing!
Laura did an amazing job photographing our wedding. She was always so quick to communicate and gave a lot of helpful advice along the way. Our wedding did not go as originally plan...
ned thanks to Covid but I think the pictures we have will last us a lifetime! She was nice enough to offer us a couple session with our leftover time as well. Also, we got our pictures back so quick! Nothing but good things to say.
Laura did an excellent job capturing our engagement photos and wedding! She is easy to work with and has great suggestions if you need help with ideas on places to take photos. Our...
family photos turned out great and she did a great job capturing candid moments. We got the photos back quick too! I was very impressed! love her style and would definitely recommend!
When trying to reschedule our wedding due to Covid-19; Laura said there was a rescheduling fee when our contract states there is not. When asked prior that month she said that
“Ye...
s I am totally okay with postponing due to COVID. As long as I am available, there is no additional fees due!”
When I pointed it out she then stated; in the same day, that the day I was moving to was booked. She then gave me the ultimatum of keeping the original date and pay her in full or cancel our contract and she keeps the deposit. She made no attempt to figure out another day or retract the rescheduling fee that broke our contract. She kept changing her reasoning for her actions and avoided obvious deceits. I ended my professional relationship with her as I do not feel like I can fully trust and depend on her. I would look for someone else that is more professional and honest.
Laura did a beautiful job photographing our small backyard ceremony. The turnaround time truly was unbelievable. I am so grateful that she captured these special moments between my...
now-husband and I, and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!
Laura is a very talented photographer! Her photos are modern and beautifully candid. I always disliked how staged wedding photos looked, but Laura with LastPhoto KC took photos tha...
t looked completely real and memorable. These photos could actually be in a bridal magazine. Her pricing is way more reasonable than several other private photographers. And she does not overcharge unlike most wedding photo companies. She didn’t need direction from anyone and seamlessly set up all the photo ops. When you receive your photos, she includes every single photo even the silly ones so you receive hundreds of options for print or a wedding book. I would 100% hire her again.
Honestly, I couldn’t have asked for more. Laura helped me with vendor suggestions, a wedding day shot list to choose from (which she nailed every one I requested AND more), and she...
helped keep us on our timeline throughout the day when we ran behind. Seriously our day wouldn’t have been possible without her.
I highly recommend booking Laura and adding on the 2nd shooter! They made sure they got every single moment that we will remember forever!
Laura was easy to work with and I am so happy we chose her for our courthouse elopement! I told her I didn't need her to photograph the ceremony because courtrooms aren't the most ...
photogenic venue and she told me she could make them look good and she absolutely did! She also suggested Kauffman Center for photos after and it made for some awesome photos. All of our photos turned out beautiful so whether you are doing a 7 hour affair or a quick trip to the courthouse Laura will do a wonderful job.
