Laura is such a talented photographer. Our engagement and wedding photos turned out super beautiful and we loved every last of her pictures. She really has a great eye and dedication to her craft to have captured everything so perfectly. She is also a dream to work with. She is very organized, responsive, kind and professional. We would highly recommend Laura to anyone who needs a wedding and portrait photographer. We could not be happier that we chose her!
Laura was everything we hoped for in a wedding photographer! She made all of the pictures (engagement session and wedding) feel so effortless! After the wedding, we got numerous comments on how great Laura was, and how involved she stayed throughout the whole reception (it was a long day!). Our pictures turned out gorgeous and she captured every little moment we had hoped for. We knew pictures were going to mean a lot to us, and we couldn’t be any more thankful we chose Laura to be our photographer. We now have lifelong memories captured in the most amazing photos, so THANK YOU, Laura! You’re the best!!
Working with Laura was a dream! We were changing our wedding plans nearly every day to fit new covid restrictions, but Laura handled every challenge and change we threw out there with grace. She was extremely accommodating as we navigated our new wedding plans and ensured that we got all the ceremony shots that we had wanted. I cannot recommend her enough, particularly to brides who are planning weddings during such a turbulent time.
Beyond her helpfulness during covid, Laura was friendly, professional, and responsive. She was a joy to work with—even for my husband who hates being photographed. The photos speak for themselves—we are so thrilled with our stunning engagement and wedding photos, and can’t wait to work with Laura again for our reception!
I have nothing but amazing things to say about Laura! She is an insanely talented photographer. She is extremely organized, detail-oriented, very professional, and always punctual. She is easy to get in touch with and responds quickly. She was hands-down the best vendor that I hired for my wedding! Our engagement and wedding photos turned out super beautiful, and were returned to us in a very timely manner. We received our wedding photos in half the time stated on our contract. She made sure we got every photo we really wanted on our wedding day. I would highly recommend Laura to anyone as a wedding photographer or for lifestyle photos in general. Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning.
Laura is super punctual, professional and great to work with! I am so happy with how our photos turned out, and how quickly we got them back. 10/10 recommend her, especially for weddings!!
Laura was amazing! From the first phone call I just knew we would work well together. She was so flexible and willing to adjust. We planned a wedding from out of town, she fit us in the weekend we came down for an engagement shoot and even changed time due to weather. The wedding day was perfect. She made an extremely detailed easy to follow timeline and captured every picture I wanted. When hair and make up ran late she knew what to say to make me feel better and somehow still managed to get everything in. Pictures came exactly one month later and I couldn’t have asked for me. Laura attention to detail and knowledge of light and poses helped us create picture that will last a lifetime. ❤️
Laura was truly one of the best parts of our wedding day! Not just on the day of but from the moment we booked her as our photographer we were shown so much love and kindness. Her customer service was amazing, not to mention the photos she takes are beautiful!! She captured every moment that I wanted perfectly. She goes above and beyond to make the time leading up to your day as special as your big day will be. Thankful to consider her as not just a photographer, but now a friend.
Laura helped my wedding day go so smoothly! She had every detail planned out beforehand and ran the day with such professionalism. She was very patient and made sure I would get every shot I wanted. Even though we had less than perfect weather my wedding photos turned out absolutely gorgeous!
We couldn't have chose a better photographer for our wedding day! From the first time meeting Laura and looking at her photos, I knew she was the best for the job! She captured the best moments, big and little, at our wedding in the most beautiful ways. I was talking with one of my friends about Laura's work the other day and we both agreed how she captures the moments in her photos in the very way you saw them and want to remember them! Laura was so organized from planning our engagement pictures around the weather to planning out a timeline for our wedding day. Laura's experience and style left me confident knowing that we would have amazing pictures to remember our wedding day. After getting our photos, I couldn't be happier! My husband and I can be awkward when put in front of a camera and after looking at our photos they look like they came straight out of a bridal magazine (thanks Laura!!)! Laura was so wonderful to work with and has so much talent! If you are looking for a photographer, she is the one!
Laura was fantastic! We loved working with her. Choosing the right photographer was very important to us and we know we made the right choice! She was very organized and paid close attention to every detail. She listened to our ideas and gave really good suggestions, as well. She even checked-in with us throughout the day to ensure that she and her assistant were capturing everything we wanted them to. She got the photos back in a timely manner and they are absolutely beautiful. We will cherish the photos forever!
I cannot say enough about Laura, and I would giver her more than five stars if I could! From the moment I sat down with her to talk about my wedding when it still seemed like a far away dream until we received our wedding suite, I loved working with her. She listened to my preferences, but helped by offering advice in areas that I was unsure about, like how to do a lavender-toss exit after our ceremony. She was super detailed in her wedding day timeline, which helped me structure the rest of the day, and was on top off communication from when I first emailed her for a quote to when she delivered our wedding photos. I would go into a meeting or phone call with a list of questions, and she almost always answered them before I even had the opportunity to ask! I was especially impressed with how efficiently and easily she organized our large family for pictures that were painless and turned out beautifully. Both wedding and engagement photos we amazing, just what we wanted, and were edited and delivered before the contract timeframe. On top of all that, she is just a joy to work with. I felt like I was really working with a friend who cared about me and making my special day everything that I wanted. She adds so many personal touches on top of her high level of service, professionalism, and quality. I have received so many compliments from friends and family not only on my pictures and but also on Laura herself. If pictures are a priority for you, please do yourself a favor and hire Laura. For me, it was one of the most important things on the list for my wedding. I was not disappointed, and I still can’t stop looking at them.
Laura was an absolute pleasure to work with! From the moment we picked her as our photographer, she was with us every step of the way. What I loved about having her with us during our engagement season was that she really got to know my husband and I personally. She helped me with my planning early on, and she even met me at our venue prior to the wedding so we could plan out each picture. Her package included an engagement session with us, so we were very comfortable with her on our wedding day. We were married in mid-November, and she made our day so easy and enjoyable! She was one of the very best parts of our day!!
Laura was amazing. There are a lot of great photographers in our area so I left it up to Paul to decide what style he liked. I showed him 3 different photographers with 3 totally different styles and without a doubt he chose the natural light and I couldn't be happier. After meeting with Laura, I was amazed at her organizational skills. She had everything planned perfectly on the timeline which helped so much during the day. Laura and her assistant were amazing throughout the whole day making sure everyone was comfortable on our hot fall day. She captured all the moments we wanted and more, even our crazy reception with all the dance moves. The day was such a blur and I am glad I have all the photos the remember our day by!!
Laura is such a gifted wedding photographer, I can't recommend her enough! She never made me feel pressured or rushed, but remained relaxed when the timeline of the day leading up to our ceremony ran behind; Laura was flexible and got us right back on schedule. She is extremely detailed with a real talent for what she does. She caught moments I never got to witness at our wedding, along with a good mix of candid and staged photos. Laura knew the names of our bridal party and family members, presented our USB drive in a package with other sweet gifts, and even made time the WEEK OF our wedding to shoot a late engagement session between rainstorms at our request. Thank you Laura, for going the extra mile for us and our special day. We will love these photos forever! Love, the Hurdts
Excellent wedding photographer!!! Laura was a dream to work with- so kind, organized, professional, has a gorgeous aesthetic, and produces truly stunning work! She specializes in natural light photography (which I loved since our April wedding and reception were outdoors) and provides a second shooter at no additional cost. Her photos and style are so soft and beautiful and exactly what I was looking for. She also shot our engagement photos (included with our wedding photography) and our photo booth! We could not be happier that we chose her!!!
Laura was such a sweet, accommodating, and calming person (and vendor) to work with on my wedding day. An an out of state bride (but originally from GA) she was able to work with me on meeting when I was in town, kept in constant contact while we were out of state and leading up to the wedding. She was able to capture all the fun and little moments that you might not pick up on, on the day of the wedding. She also was able to take my vision and vague descriptions on what I was looking for as a background to our portraits and find those exact locations around the city. I would highly recommend her for any future events & would definitely hire her again for any event in ATL.
We absolutely loved working with Laura. She was super organized and made everything super easy. Plus her pictures were amazing. We highly highly recommend working with her.
Laura was absolutely FANTASTIC!!! She is very organized and has super quick responses. She's super easy to talk with and really takes the time to listen to what you have to say. She asks questions so she has a full understanding of your wedding vision/style. She's truly an expert in her field. She makes taking photos fun and really eliminates the awkwardness! She really makes an effort to make everything go flawless on your wedding day. She has an awesome wedding day timeline worksheet to get everything ready to go for your big day. She was so prepared and ready for my wedding day; I had zero stress knowing she was handling everything. I would HIGHLY recommend hiring Laura for your photography needs.
Laura did an amazing job with our engagement and wedding photos. She was a true joy to be around, she kept everything light and fun. Any time I had a question, idea, or wanted her opinion she was quick to respond offering to meet up or call me to talk it over. I usually am not a fan of pictures of myself but Laura was able to capture so many beautiful moments I've had a hard time picking my favorites as they are all great! I highly recommend her, as she helped make my wedding day a dream come true!
My husband and I had a teeny tiny wedding, with just family -- our goal was to make it as simple as possible. The only thing I was really particular on, was finding the right photographer ... which was definitely accomplished when we found Laura Barnes! She has a great eye, captures the sweetest moments, is easy to work with, and helps to make you feel relaxed and at ease. We were very happy with our pictures, and Laura just went above and beyond to make our day special! :)
Laura is the absolute best. She is amazing at making everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. Even my Husband wasn’t complaining about having to take pictures for hours. Laura makes you feel yourself and none of those fake smile/posing pictures. She also has great vendor advice and helpful tips for other wedding related items besides just photography. She was a huge key in making our New Years Eve Wedding PERFECT!!
We were so happy with our experience with Laura Barnes as our wedding photographer - she photographed our engagement session as well. She took time to meet with us in person to review her work and to discuss our vision for our wedding. She was able to capture aspects of our wedding that we missed along the way. Her personal touches set her apart and we are so glad she photographed our special day. Thank you Laura!
When I first met with Laura to talk about all the details of the wedding, I knew immediately she was going to be a pleasure to work with. She was very kind, excited & organized, which was a nice relief for me because I was planning a DIY wedding. She also referred some awesome vendors who helped make my planning so much easier.
Over the many weeks before the wedding, as Laura & I finalized the photography details, she was very quick to respond to emails & kept me in the loop on everything! The week of the wedding, she reached out to confirm details & remind me of the items I needed to have ready for her.
On the wedding day, Laura sent a text to let me know she was on her way (which doesn't seem like a huge deal, but when you're juggling a thousand things the day of, this is super helpful!) She arrived on time & ready to go. Throughout the day, Laura was very patient & was always checking to see how I was doing. She was a breath of fresh air just when I needed it! She was very flexible when things didn't go as planned & made sure every detail in every picture was perfect!
Our wedding day was hot.. very very hot. Everyone was sweating & patting their foreheads with towels in between pictures. I was so worried that the picture were going to look a mess.. But seriously, the pictures are perfect! So much better than I could have ever imagined! Everyone was so impressed with how great they all turned out! I swear the pictures look better then the actual day itself!!
So if you're in need of photography, whether it be for a wedding, family photos, etc, you need to book Laura. She is not only a very talented photographer, she is a very kind & makes the photography session a joy!
Laura is incredible in so many ways! She makes every process (from meetings to paying, to posing) easy, light-hearted, and fun. She is truly talented and professional. We have had the pleasure of doing mini sessions, an engagement session, and our wedding photography with Laura and we are always thrilled with her work!
I wish had the words to describe how amazing Laura was. Everything was perfect. She actually helped me with my wedding planning. The quality of photos are priceless. When we received our engagement photos back I knew the wedding ones would be fantastic. I can't describe how happy I was with everything. I highly recommend her services.
Thank you Laura for everything!
I am speechless when it comes to Laura. Not only is she professional and a true talent, but it's her sweet soul that made working with her incredible. Her organization left us feeling stress-free and on the day of when I was the one stressing about timeline, she kept me calm and relaxed. When we got our photos back, we were blown away. We laughed, we cried, we awed, and we clapped. She is responsive in her communication and above all else, you can just feel her passion for her work. We adore Laura, and I know you will love her as well!
I cannot say enough amazing things about Laura! She was so organized, went above and beyond to make my vision come true, and was just a joy to work with. She truly captured our big day beautifully, and I am absolutely in love with my photos! You will be blown away by her work! Choosing her for your event would be one of the best decisions you could make!
We love Laura! Her easy going style of photography matched with her attention to details made our wedding and engagement session a breeze! We hope to continue to be able to work with her for our photos for years to come!
Laura is wonderful! She is very organized and professional. Laura was able to capture some amazing moments for our wedding. She went above and beyond for us! Also, for our engagement shoot Laura was able to find an amazing location, that I would have never known about with her!!!
Laura did an amazing job shooting our both our engagement session and our wedding! She pays attention to every little detail; she’s well organized and is very prompt. The images turned out gorgeous and the colors were so vibrant just like our theme – Rustic Vintage with a Mexican twist. We absolutely LOVE her work, so much so that we also used her talent for our Christmas family shoot.
We loved having Laura shoot our engagement session and our wedding! She went above and beyond our expectations for our wedding! The images she took were gorgeous quality and the colors are so vibrant in them. HIGHLY recommend Laura for any of your photographer needs! :)
If I could choose to have a photographer takes my photos for the rest of my life, it would be Laura! She is so personal, fun, & easy to work with! My wedding day was a (little) less stressful thanks to Laura, she truly loves weddings & each couple she gets to photograph! I am so happy I chose her & would do it over and over with her! Thank you Laura!!!"
Laura was one of my favorite things about our wedding day. She was organized, on time and perfect. Her demeanor is so sweet and caring. Everyone should have to shoot their special day!
Laura did an amazing job on our wedding photos! We have received so many compliments on our pictures!
