About this vendor
Hello! My name is Laura Briggs, wedding and lifestyle photographer based in Philadelphia. I'm a deep lover of the arts, but even more so, I'm fascinated by the power of story. The reason photography is so important to me is that each photo carries a story. I do what I do because of YOU! Because of your unique story.
You'll know within a few minutes whether my style resonates with you. I tend to gravitate towards a photojournalistic style filled with the small and magical moments. If you are at all interested, go ahead and shoot me a message. I'd love to start a conversation and work together!

Laura is an an amazing wedding photographer. I cannot recommend her enough. Not only are her photos gorgeous, but she was a dream to work with. She was responsive, professional, and also super fun! During the planning process she gave us invaluable advice about other vendors as well as day-of tips we didn't know we didn't know. She made the day run super smoothly despite having to corral two huge families for photos as well as a crazy rain storm mid-wedding. She made us all feel relaxed and taken care of, even helping with my complicated wedding dress bustle during cocktail hour. A true hero. Her photos really captured our special day and I couldn't be more happy. Thank you Laura!!
Laura was our first vendor we booked before our day was even fully realized. I had seen one of her couples featured in Philadelphia Magazine and I was absolutely enamoured with how her vision encapsulated the couples story and love for each other. I immediately knew I wanted her to capture our special day. Our first meeting with her was on a crisp fall day at quiet and beautiful Longwood Gardens and our pictures perfectly reflect the joy we felt that day working with her. My wife is shy and Laura knew just how to connect with her while also connecting with me an extrovert to the extreme. She made us feel so comfortable and excited about our upcoming wedding day! The day of our wedding was even better - Laura and her 2nd shooter Aubrey showed up on time and ready for a jam packed day! She met the energy of our room full of our closest friends and immediately made us all feel even more excited for the day ahead. She gave us a run down of how the day would work and immediately got the sweetest pictures of us getting ready for the day. She helped me and my wife hash out plans for getting into our dresses and also scoped out the perfect private spot for us to do our first look at our cookie cutter hotel. Both Laura and Aubrey were kind and respectful while we cried and laughed through our vows and continued to make us feel comfortable in our own skin. As we made our way into the actual wedding festivities and photos with our families and bridal party (and our sweet dogs!) Laura had a schedule lined up weeks before the wedding which she made sure we kept with which helped to keep the day running smoothly. By the end of the evening- Laura had a handful of photos ready to share with us and we could not believe how our wedding looked to everyone who surrounded us that day and how much Laura was able to encapsulate the same level of love and happiness I saw so many years ago in a Philadelphia Magazine article. I adored and loved working with Laura and I will sing her praises until the end of time. Even after the wedding I was talking to my wife about how if we could have Laura capture our lives going forward how wonderful that would be. Laura truly is special and beautiful -inside and out. She will always hold a special place in our hearts. I hope everyone is able to see the beauty of her craft and experience it like we were able to.
We got married in October and are so eager to tell the world how amazing Laura is. We voted her MVV - most valuable vendor!!! Laura goes above and beyond to make everyone feel at ease, comfortable and confident in front of the camera. She led our first look and family pictures effortlessly, directing us and the videographer in a way that was gentle yet intentional.
She is organized, fun, talented, and communicative. She is a true professional! Laura knew what to say to calm our worries and concerns. She also knew what to say to make us laugh and put natural smiles on our faces.
Within hours, we had a sneak peek in our inbox with BEAUTIFUL photos for us to view and share. We cannot recommend Laura enough to future couples looking for the perfect photographer for their big day!!! 🩷
100000/10 recommend booking Laura. Like, stop scrolling and inquire now.
I don’t have enough words to describe how INCREDIBLE our photographer is. From our engagement shoot to the wedding day, she was absolutely amazing. Laura is a preferred vendor of our venue, Terrain so knows it like the back of her hand. I put my complete trust in her in when and where to take photos, and every single photo we received came out SO good. Laura is such a hype girl - which is exactly what I needed for pictures. I’m awkward af and don’t know how to pose and she made me look like a dream bride. We got so many amazing sneak peaks back just 2 hours after she left our wedding. The rest of our photos came in yesterday and they are a DREAAAM. I can’t stop staring at them. Every photo has been so so beautiful. Cannot recommend Laura enough.
SHE IS SO INCREDIBLE! She is so thorough and encouraging. She makes sure she gets all the shots while also making sure you don’t miss a minute of fun on your day. She is so fun to work with and all my friends and family can’t stop talking about how talented she is! And gave us a sneak peak so so quickly!!!!
Laura is simply the best. She has it all- the personality, the skill, everything. We could not be happier with our engagement photos and wedding photos. She had us on schedule the day of and even bustled my dress. Now we need another excuse for her to take pics! Call her- do not even hesitate! Her talent is unmatched. We love her!!!!!
Laura was absolutely amazing to work with on our wedding day! She was enthusiastic, direct, and so much fun throughout the day. She captured every moment perfectly and got along so well with every family and wedding party member. I cannot recommend her and her work enough, our wedding photography experience was everything we could have asked for and more :)
We are 6+ months out from our wedding and my husband and I still talk about Laura Briggs everyday. She is a one of a kind person and a beyond talented and hardworking photographer. From our engagement shoot to our rehearsal dinner and wedding, Laura was there with a huge smile on. Her genuinely warm and welcoming personality, her hysterical comments, along with her words of encouragement made us feel more comfortable than we ever thought we could be in front of a camera. She had an amazing ability to us feel at ease and authentically ourselves. It truly made us relax during our wedding day.
On top of her being an extremely special person.... her photographs are beyond. She captures every moment in a loving and magical way that comes through the photos. My husband says that she has ruined photos for him, because hers are the only ones he wants to look at.
I would (and have) recommend Laura to everyone and anyone looking for a photographer!
Laura is the BEST. There are just not enough words to describe how incredible she is & the difference she made in my wedding day. She is highly professional, organized, and so talented at her work. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable and relaxed while taking pictures, and was so fun and upbeat! I will forever be so grateful that I hired her as one of my wedding vendors!!
The BEST vendor for our big day - we dreamed of working with Laura for literally 10 years and she was the first vendor we booked! Laura was so much fun at our engagement shoot and on our wedding day - making us both SO comfortable and calm. She is so intentional with every shot and her second shooter was equally as incredible! We feel SO lucky they were there to capture our fall wedding in Moorestown, NJ. Our sneak peek photos alone were to die for - we had so many family members, friends, and vendors asking for her contact information. DO NOT wait to book her - the best decision for stunning, intentional, authentic photos of your magical day!
To say Laura was the best doesn’t even begin to describe great she is. The day of my wedding Tropical Storm Ophelia rolled in and I spent my morning crying that my day would be ruined. Laura came in and changed the whole day around for me. She went and took pictures of my ceremony space just to show me how beautiful it was. She encouraged and hyped me up the entire day. Your wedding day is supposed to be the most perfect day and mine was imperfectly perfect in large part to Laura. She captured amazing photos and you can’t even tell there was a storm that day. When weather permitted we dashed outside for quick pictures and when weather didn’t permit she came up creative and beautiful plan B’s. Laura is the absolute best and I think every bride would be lucky to have her as their photographer and be by their side on such a special day.
Ps. Laura is also just as excited as you are to see the pics she had 20 something pictures sent to me for a sneak peek literally on the way to the after party the night of.
There are no words to describe our time with Laura other than perfection. From our first FaceTime meeting, we knew Laura was the right photographer for us. Her zest for life, love for love, and especially her love for dogs drew us in!! My husband and I are both awkward in front of cameras and between her and our videographers, we were beyond comfortable and just having a good time. Laura created a wedding timeline that assisted not only with photos but also helped us shape the rest of our day. And the night of the wedding we received MANY sneak peek pictures from her, to which I screamed at the moment I received her text😂 Her eye for a moment to capture is impeccable and we were amazed at the shots we received so far. We cannot wait to get the rest of our photos!! We would recommend her to ANYONE looking for a photographer!!
Laura is magic behind the camera!! She is funny and makes your wedding day so much fun! Her photo preview arrived the same night of the wedding and my husband and I were blown away!!! We can’t wait for the rest of the album! She is professional, warm, funny, responsive, talented and overall an amazing investment! Thank you Laura for capturing our day and capturing these precious memories!! Book her!!! ❤️
As soon as we picked a date for our wedding, we immediately reached out to Laura to book, and we truly would have picked a new wedding date if she wasn’t available. Laura is absolutely the best — not only are her photos completely stunning, but she goes above and beyond for her couples and their loved ones! During the wedding, one of my friends even asked if Laura was a family friend or something because she “felt like an old friend” and was so fun for us all to spend the day with. Laura made all of us feel so confident and relaxed all day, and she is one of the kindest people I have ever met. Laura helped put together the perfect timeline for the whole day which I was even able to share with other vendors, and when we faced some hiccups (like extra traffic because of a festival and the groomsmen getting to the venue too early), she totally handled it all without missing a step. She knew every inch of our venue’s space and how to use it, and she somehow managed to fit in our many family/wedding party photos into cocktail hour with time to spare. Our family and friends are completely obsessed with the sneak peak pictures she shared with us the NIGHT OF our wedding – we cannot stop looking at them and reliving the day!! Booking Laura for your wedding is the best decision you can make for a fun, beautiful, and stress-free day, and we feel so lucky to have worked with her!!! THANK YOU!!!!
There’s only one thing to say about Laura – HIRE HER! We were so blessed to find Laura for our wedding photography! Laura is the complete package – professional, enthusiastic, creative, and truly a wonderful person. We used Laura for both our engagement sessions and our day of photography. Neither my fiancé or I is very comfortable in front of a camera. Laura brings such a skill in her sessions to make you feel comfortable and confident. Every time we shoot with Laura the day is filled with laughter and fun. She knows exactly how to prompt you to get beautiful movement and emotion in her shots. Her candid photography is equally as impressive. The moments she captures are so natural and carry such distinct emotion. On our wedding day we had Laura for the full 10 hours with a second shooter. Laura was incredibly organized with her pre-wedding questionnaire and timeline creation to ensure she knew the exact flow of the day and all of the important moments to capture. It was a long day and Laura’s enthusiasm never once dropped. Everyone, from the bridal party to the guests, all commented on the energy that she brings to the event. We are so thankful that we found such an incredible photographer as we know that we will receive photos to cherish for the rest of our lives. Laura takes the time to connect with and get to know her couples. That effort is clear in the product she produces through that care.
Not only is Laura a phenomenal photographer, but she is your HYPE WOMAN on your wedding day. Vibes were immaculate, her and Leah (His and Hers Productions- videographer) make a fantastic team and truly make you feel like you’ve been besties for years. We never wanted to leave our sunset photo shoot on our wedding night because we were having too much fun. Laura sent us a few photo sneak peeks the same evening (how does she do it) and the photos made us cry- they are immaculate. Thank you Laura and Leah for helping create our perfect wedding day, and for capturing the moments of the happiest day of our lives that we will cherish forever.
-Emily and Drew
Laura is hands down AMAZING!!!! She is one of the first vendors we picked and by far my favorite. Her style of shooting is dynamic, vibrant yet soft, and soo beautiful!! Outside of her obvious talent she is such a sweet personality and hype girl, its like having a friend with you on wedding day! I can't even count how many friends/family were blown away with how stunning our wedding pictures look!! Safe to say by wedding events are done, but when I start having babies/kids, Laura will be my family photographer!!! Love you Laura!!!
Best,
Mili & Dave
Laura was beyond AMAZING to work with! She added such a beautiful vibe to our special day and went above and beyond with everything she did. Every photo of our wedding day is gorgeous. Her work is unmatched! We’re so thankful to have worked with Laura!
Laura is seriously the BEST ever!! Not only is she an amazingly talented photographer, she is also such an amazing person in general. From the first phone call to our engagement shoot to our wedding day, she was there for us 100% and so easy to communicate with. My husband and I don't like being the center of attention so we were definitely nervous about having professional photos taken but she made us feel SO comfortable and truly made it an enjoyable and fun experience. Our entire wedding party raved about her as well and how her personality is so welcoming and fun which made the photos so much more organic and fun to take :) we cannot thank Laura enough and hope to work with her again one day in the future. We wholeheartedly recommend Laura as your wedding photographer!!
Laura is the ABSOLUTE BEST and we were so grateful and lucky to have her for our special day!! We were seriously floored with how beautiful our gallery turned out! Photos of the day are the only tangible thing you can get to try to capture the joy of the day, so you want the very best person for that job and there is no one better than Laura!! She is so fun and makes you and your partner feel so relaxed on the day. We were so nervous about our pictures because we always take such awkward couple pictures lol but we were blown away with what Laura was able to capture! Same with our bridal party and family! Everyone loved her and had the best time, and the pictures show it! And add to that all the beautiful shots she took of the ceremony and reception, it feels like we won the lottery to have her capture our day. Thank you so much, Laura!
We are eternally grateful.

Hands down, THE best decision we made for our wedding was to hire Laura. She was so easy to talk to right from the beginning. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, hyping us and our family up throughout the whole day. She took the time to really look around our venue and find the perfect photo spots so that everything went super smoothly. I seriously don't know what we would have done without her -- I'm sad the planning is over, but I know she'll be a friend for life!! We absolutely cannot wait to see the full gallery from the wedding. Do yourself a favor and hire Laura!
I truly can't say enough good things about Laura. My husband and I started with engagement photos and then had Laura shoot our wedding, and booking her was one of the best decisions we made! Not only is she the most talented photographer, she's fun, professional, kind, and overall such a blast to work with. Our family and friends couldn't stop saying how much fun she was and how comfortable she makes everyone in front of the camera. Her work is absolutely stunning and so is she! 10000/10 recommend!
Laura is such a dream to work with. As a Wedding Planner I have had the chance to work with many wonderful photographers but when it came to my daughter getting married I wanted the best, Laura Briggs, in my opinion, is the best!! She is so personable and prompt in her communications prior to the day. On the day she comes with such a wonderful energy that puts everyone at ease. We were at the after party when her Sneak Peeks came in, and that moment of everyone passing the phone showing her incredible photos was an amazing moment!! Her eye to capture beauty is a gift! To me she is a brilliant photographer and always picks top photographers as her second shooters. I HIGHLY recommend Laura for your wedding! She will go above and beyond for you and give you the best memories of your special day to treasure forever!
Laura is AMAZING! She is so efficient and so on top of her game! We had an hour and a half to take all the photos for the wedding and she got it done and it didn't feel rushed at all. She's organized and very quick to respond to any email or text. She's simple the sweetest and the best photographer out there, she'll also be you #1 hype girl!
I knew I wanted an absolutely amazing photographer for our wedding since pictures last forever. I found Laura on Instagram and her photos were incredible- it was exactly what I wanted for our wedding. We had a lot of planning meetings and it made for a smooth wedding day! Laura has such a magnetic and warm personality. She made us and our wedding party, family & friends feel so comfortable and confident!! She gave us a sneak peak the night of the wedding which are so beautiful. I cannot wait to see the rest! You need to book her for your wedding or any event you want beautiful professional photos, you will not be disappointed.
Screaming crying over how obsessed I am with Laura. We got scammed by a photographer and by the wedding gods grace, laura was available and we booked her 2.5 weeks before our wedding. I don’t know what I did in this life to have gotten so lucky. She truly is as the best photographer in we could have asked for. Her sneak peak was THE NIGHT OF!! She made me and my husband feel so great and confident and could not have been a cooler person!! Truly, just wonderful. The photos she sent were amazing and I know the full album will be insane. Book her!!! Though - she is so talented don’t wait to book 2.5 weeks before. I would have booked her before having a date to ensure she was available!!
Laura is a phenomenal photographer. My husband and I got married at the Duportail House in October 2021, and our wedding portraits are ART. I seriously cannot wait to display these photos in our home and we will absolutely treasure them for the rest of our lives. When you’re first creating a wedding budget, it can be tempting to skimp here and there, but do. not. skimp. on. photos. You can’t redo the day, and you want to make sure you find someone who will capture the little moments you didn’t even know you needed documented. Her style is so elegant and dreamy, and you can tell she is an expert at what she does. There’s enough stress on the day of your wedding without worrying that everyone is doing their jobs correctly- no need to worry here, Laura is a total professional. Bonus: She feels like your wedding day BFF and ultimate hype girl. She kept us laughing, put us at ease, and managed to capture some truly gorgeous moments. Do yourself a favor and hire her for your big day!
Book Laura NOW! Our engagement and wedding locations were firsts for her, but you would never know that. She is an absolute pro who will always get the best shot, even if she has to lay on the ground in a field to get it! She and Amy made our wedding day photos so enjoyable and stress free, and the album is to die for. They are the reason we felt so comfortable in front of the camera. Every bride needs Laura, 100%. We still get compliments from family and friends on how amazing our photos are. I can’t wait to have Laura capture more special life moments in the future!
If you're considering hiring Laura for your wedding, let me help! Do it NOW!! Laura and her second shooter, Amy, were the highlight of our day. From the second they walked through the door on my wedding day they were sporting smiles and ready to work! We were a little behind (twice) on our wedding day and they caught us back up and they were even down to stay a little longer at the end to help us capture everything we wanted. By the time I got back to my phone at the end of the night I already had a sneak peek from Laura of the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen! She did an amazing job shooting and editing , kept us moving and was the perfect blend of assertive and professional. We love Laura and cant wait to use her for photos all through life's events!
Laura was my absolute favorite vendor we hired for our wedding and I cannot say enough good things about her! We got married at Terrain Gardens in August 2021, but had to postpone from our August 2020 date. From our very first phone call, Laura just had such a great personality and was so supportive and helpful. When we had to postpone, she was so understanding and made that process super easy for us. We did our engagement shoot with her and it honestly felt like she was a friend from the very beginning. She gave us back our engagement photos SUPER fast and we were blown away by the photos! On our wedding day, she was the perfect personality to have with me all day- she calmed me down, made me laugh, wiped my happy tears, and was my hype girl all day long. She even texted me a few photos from the wedding at 1am while I was at our after party! She sent me a sneak peak a few days later and again, I was blown away! Our final gallery arrived about 3 months later which I was super impressed by, and we absolutely love our photos. If you want a photographer that truly goes above and beyond and also feels like a friend, hire Laura!
Laura is SIMPLY THE BEST!!! When we met her for our engagement photos, she instantly felt like a long lost friend. Not only were her photos amazing, but her love of books and true crime sealed the deal!! We decided to book her for our wedding as well, and it was the best decision we could've ever made. She was personable with all of our family + bridal party, she brought an incredibly talented second photographer, and the photos she took were absolutely breathtaking. I can not say enough good things about her. Thank you, Laura, for helping us have the most perfect wedding day!!!
We hired Laura for our wedding on July 16th, 2021 and wow I don’t even know where to begin! Laura is unbelievable, truly unmatched! From the very beginning, Laura immediately became someone I knew I would call a friend. We were a Covid wedding supposed to be married in July 2020 and Laura was so supportive throughout the entire process. She is always quick to respond and truly listens to what you’re saying. She made my husband and I feel beyond comfortable from day one taking our engagement photos with her bubbly and extremely fun personality. She taught us how to pose which is something you never even think of having to learn! She also made it quick, painless and fun for us! She is beyond knowledgeable for where to take your photos whether it be for engagement or actual wedding photos. On our actual wedding day she was literally like a personal assistant as well. She is great in high stress situations as calming you down and making you laugh. She can take control of ANY bridal party and our was 24 people total! She captured every aspect of our wedding so beautifully and so perfectly I truly cannot imagine our wedding day without her. Oh not to mention she literally helped me BUSSEL MY DRESS after she realize my mom and sister struggling. She is the girl you want by your side at your wedding day. She is a joy to be around and I will forever be thankful for everything she did for me on my special day! I absolutely am obsessed with my wedding photos and I will recommend Laura Briggs to every person getting married!
I CANNOT recommend Laura enough for your wedding day. While we did not have an engagement session with her, I felt as if we were friends in a past life. She is so easy going while taking control of a crazy bridal party. She made everything so easy, quick, efficient and most importantly capturing our day with the most beautiful photos.
When I started looking for photographers I knew that I was going to splurge because photos are the one true thing that lives on from your wedding day. As a washed up art student and journalism major, I needed someone who will capture our wedding exactly how I envisioned it. I spoke to so many photographers who all had amazing passion for their work but no one compared to Laura. Laura sees the story in your day/shoot, and appreciates the details (I LIVE for details). She understands the vibe you want and delivers to you the most impeccable gallery. I have only had my engagement photos done thus far, but the amount of compliments i've had on them prove she knows exactly what she is doing. We're having a 'destination' wedding and she is making the travel so simple as well as communicating exactly what she needs in order to make your day live on forever in a photograph. I am by no means wishing my wedding day away, but I am so excited to see our photos afterwards.
UPDATE: I would get married again just to hire laura all over again!!
Laura is absolutely AMAZING!!! We planned our wedding out of state and though we never got to meet prior to the wedding, we felt so comfortable with her and our second shooter Alyssa. My fiancé and I are both awkward people and the whole wedding day she was our hype woman and made us feel so incredibly comfortable. She even sent us a sneak peek of our photos after shooting with us all day and I can’t stop looking at them. She is amazing at what she does and I am so thankful and grateful that she was able to capture our day!
If there were 10 stars... Laura would deserve every one of them! She so beautifully captured my fiance and my proposal and we feel so blessed to be able to look back on those memories forever! We hired her again for an engagement shoot and she created pure magic while making us SO comfortable! On top of that - she sent us a sneak peak within 24 hours! We cannot wait for Laura to capture our big day next summer! I cannot recommend Laura Briggs Photo enough!
I cannot begin to say how fortunate I feel to have Laura as our photographer for the big day. We recently had our engagement shoot with her, which I was very nervous for. I am somewhat awkward in front of the camera, and was pretty nervous for the shoot. Laura made me feel SO comfortable and was the best coach the whole way. She got our sneak peek back to us within hours after the shoot (which we LOVED) and all of the photos edited and ready-to-go about a week later. She is super sweet, very time-conscious, and amazingly talented. Highly recommend.
Laura Briggs! An absolute legend. I 10/10 recommend her. She brings joy, enthusiasm, professionalism, and encouragement to your wedding day and does so in a way that makes you feel celebrated and hyped up. If you're in the Northeast, Southeast, or really anywhere, Laura Briggs Photo is the way to go.
LAURA IS THE BEST! We am absolutely blown away by Laura and her team!!! Laura has such a caring and beautiful personality, I felt like I already knew her the first time I met her. Her energy and attention to detail is unmatched. Her ability to get the best possible photos and work flawlessly to direct large groups of people to make formal photos actually fun. Not only does she take amazing pictures, but she helps with every aspect even helping me with my dress when I needed it on the dance floor. She truly went above and beyond for everything and her optimism and ability to capture beautiful photos in any setting made the nor’easter on our wedding seem like no big deal. I can’t recommend her enough.
Laura is the best and extremely hard working! She photographed for us twice as we had a micro wedding followed by our full wedding a year later. She worked her schedule out when covid abruptly changed everyone’s plans. I like that Laura has her own style and doesn’t lighten the photos so much like a lot of other wedding pics I see. When the day arrives, she is basically your wedding coordinator too and goes over the timeline that was set in advance. It happened to be down pouring on our day, but Laura was able to get amazing umbrella shots in-between downpours and I’m literally so obsessed with them! She treats you like a friend making you feel calm and her photos will make you feel like a model! And if you don’t know how to pose, don’t worry she will tell you what you what to do. I’m so happy I got to work with Laura and support her own business!
Laura is AMAZING! We truly cannot thank her and her second shooter enough for capturing our beautiful day. I initially met Laura in a coffee shop and knew within 5 minutes that I wanted to hire her for our engagement and wedding photos because she was so sweet, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to! We were originally scheduled to get married on 8/8/2020, but postponed to 8/7/2021 due to Covid-19. Laura was more than willing to transfer our contract to the following year and also took postponement pictures for us to use for our change the dates. We got our wedding sneak peak within less than a week and immediately shared them with others because they were so perfect. We have gotten SO MANY compliments from friends and family and can't wait to get the rest of our album! Highly, highly, highly recommend Laura and her team!!
Laura Briggs is EVERYTHING! My husband and I fell in love with her work, and when we met her/first talked to her we instantly knew we wanted her part of our day! Laura makes things fun and comfortable. Laura was not only our photographer, but helped us through having to rework our wedding details/venue 5 months out when things changed due to COVID. Laura was always professional, but FUN!! Literally EVERYONE at our wedding commented on how great her and alyssa (second shooter) were at our wedding. I will literally never think about our wedding day and the memories we made without thinking of how lucky we were to have laura through the process. She even sent us several photos the night of our wedding as sneak peaks! Look no further, she is legit the best!!!
Laura did an absolutely phenomenal job with our engagement and wedding photos! From the moment we met Laura, we knew she was a perfect fit. We could count on her for all things wedding related, even outside of photography. She makes you feel like a superstar during shoots. She was extremely fun to work with, and we LOVE our photos. I couldn't recommend her any more highly!
I would give Laura 6 stars if I could. Not only is she a good time, but she is also very reliable, professional, and amazing at what she does. She was truly so fun to have with us on our wedding day. We loved our engagement photos and wedding sneak peek, and we can't wait to get the rest of our wedding photos.
I will forever be in Laura Briggs’ debt for how amazing of a photographer she is! Seriously brides, look no further for someone to capture your wedding day, or any other day for that matter. Laura was exactly what I wanted and needed. As soon as I met her when I was deciding on a photographer, I knew she was the perfect match to capture mine and my husband’s special day. She drove out of her way more than once to meet me at coffee shops/ cafes to really get to know me and the vision I had for when I got married.
We did an engagement shoot a few months before the wedding, and as soon as we started taking pictures, I knew that I made the right chose in choosing Laura. She has the best creative eye and will stop at nothing to get the perfect shot. You can so easily tell that she loves what she does! She made me feel 100% comfortable and confident in front of the camera, and captured the true emotion and interaction between my fiancé and I. She hypes you up so you feel as good as you look! Not to mention, she is super outgoing and hilarious and makes taking photos so much fun. My husband doesn’t typically like taking photos, and even he enjoyed himself.
On my wedding day, Laura was super organized, and so helpful with anything that needed done, both photographer and non-photographer related! She even helped to button up the back of my dress and find my phone at the end of the night when I couldn’t find it. I am so in love with my wedding photos and can’t stop staring at them. She took the photo ideas I wanted and told her about beforehand, and made the actual thing better than I could have imagined! Booking Laura Briggs Photo was the best decision I made, and I highly recommend you do the same if you want an extremely professional photographer and absolutely stunning photos!
Laura is absolutely phenomenal. Stop your search and book her. We used her for our wedding and multiple other shoots. She is incredible to work with and so quick getting us shots afterwards. We will certainly be using her in the future and have recommended her to anyone we've met looking for a photographer. Stop wasting your time and just book her!
Laura is the ABSOLUTE BEST. I first saw Laura’s work when she did a friend of a friend’s engagement photos and I fell in love with her photo style and use of natural light. From there I met Laura in person and that really sealed the deal! Laura brings such high energy and positivity with her that you need her on your wedding day! She first shot our engagement photos, where she made my fiancée and I instantly comfortably and my fiancée does not like being a model either! We were smiling and laughing the whole time. She just shot our wedding last weekend and every photo I have seen I LOVE. She sent me a few photos that night and preview gallery a few days later which I am so thankful for. I loved having some of the photos so quickly to help relive the day. On top of everything else, she was by far my most communicative vendor which was much appreciated! You need Laura for your photo needs!!
oh my god, it is extremely difficult to put into words how AMAZING Laura is. We met Laura through our friends wedding and from the first moment we spoke with her we knew she was who we wanted to work with. We scheduled our engagement photos and were both feeling quite awkward before the shoot and she immediately made us feel comfortable. The session went from us feeling nervous to being fun and the results of the pictures were amazing. She quickly became more than our photographer and felt like a life long friend. Her energy is unmatched. She is extremely professional and it shows that she loves her job.
We had to reschedule our wedding three times due to COVID19 and Laura was more than helpful and there for us throughout all of the craziness. When we finally settled on our date of 5/8/21 she was originally booked with another couple, but lucky for us that couple postponed and she immediately texted us saying she was available. We both sighed a relief because neither of us could imagine our wedding day without her. We were finally able to go through with our wedding this past weekend and all of our friends and family have said how amazing she was to work with along with her back up shooter, Lauren. We already received some sneak peak photos from her and we are already in love with them.
We would recommend her 100 times !!!!!
Working with Laura was one of the most magical parts of our wedding. She is so kind, fun, organized, communicative, professional, and her turn around time for sneak peek photos was unreal. Literally received some photos from her at 1 AM on the night of our wedding, and a bigger sneak peek four days after. She becomes not just your photographer but your good friend as you go through the planning process with her. All of our friends and family commented on how great she was to work with and how she worked to move the day along without being pushy at all. Not to mention the incredible quality of her photos. As prepared as my husband and I were for the day, you can’t really prepare for how you’ll be once you’re in the moment and everything is happening around you. Laura kept me together and on track to make sure that we got the photos that we wanted while keeping everything light and so much fun. Can’t say enough about her-will definitely work with her again for future photos, as my husband and I go through different life events, whether it be a maternity shoot, newborn shoot, or just because!!
Laura was an absolute DREAM to work with. When our original wedding photographer cancelled on us due to Covid-19, I was in a scramble to find a new photographer. After frantically scrolling Instagram accounts, I found Laura's account and instantly fell in love with her style. Beyond her incredible photos, though, is Laura's warm, inviting personality. In our initial consolation, Laura felt more like an old friend than a wedding vendor -- I knew right away that I needed to book her. Throughout the process, Laura surpassed our expectations, and went above and beyond what we had hoped for in a photographer.
Throughout the process, Laura was always available to run ideas by or chat. On our wedding day, Laura was professional, personable, and upbeat. Throughout the day, she seemed genuinely happy and excited to be there. We got an incredible sneak peek days after our wedding, and our full gallery just two months after. We are still drooling over how beautiful each photo is.
Laura is a photographer who puts her heart and soul into her job and her clients. Her passion for her work is evident in the quality of her photos and care for you throughout the wedding process. Without a doubt, I would hire her for any of your wedding photography needs!
Laura is beyond amazing!! She is one of the kindest people ever. Our photoshoot felt natural and comfortable! Highly recommend because the photos I’ve gotten so far have come out amazing. My boyfriend is usually uncomfortable in front of a camera, but he was very relaxed and enjoyed being photographed! Thank you again!
Laura Briggs is the real deal. In the midst of a lot of uncertainty she has been extremely accommodating, consistent and thoughtful. We were blessed enough to have her not only at our “backyard” small (covid) family wedding but also AGAIN at our July wedding. She has gone over and beyond to make things perfect for both days. My first wedding in October was shot and edited perfectly and I can’t wait to have her be apart of second big day. I will forever recommend Laura as the BEST wedding photographer. She makes the day simple, easy, FUN and so memorable.
Where do I even begin?! From the moment my husband and I met Laura we INSTANTLY knew she was going to be our engagement AND wedding photographer. I’m not sure if it was her up beat & energetic attitude or her beaming personality and true love for the job that made us realize she was the perfect fit for our wedding. Between our engagement shoot and wedding it was two years. In those two years it has been a joy to watch Laura go from an amazing photographer to a phenomenal photographer who delivers those “take your breath away - I can’t believe that is ME” kind of photos. I have never felt as special and beautiful as much as I did on my wedding and I give that credit to Laura. She makes you feel like the most beautiful bride ever! We got married during COVID and my husband and I were nervous about all aspects of our wedding EXCEPT Laura. We trusted her completely with our big day. We were so sad when the wedding day was over because we knew our time with Laura has come to an end. We will be hiring her for ALL other photo related needs and everyone would be making a mistake if they do not hire her. Hire Laura and it will be the best decision in the wedding process!
LAURA is AMAZING! Truly. They say your wedding day goes by in a blur and it is SO TRUE... we were so lucky that Laura was there to help capture our precious memories forever. She is warm and authentic and her enthusiasm for life makes her a dream to work with. When you meet her, it's like you've met that best friend/ confidant who will take care of you no matter what. I am *OBSESSED* with our wedding photos and look forward to hiring her for all of our future life event photos!
Laura has a talent and passion for photography that is unmatched. Her photos capture the exact the mood and natural beauty that we were searching for. Our engagement and weddings photos give me goose bumps because they take me back in time to that exact moment. We absolutely love our photos!! As if that is not enough, Laura is the most kind and down to earth person who will make you laugh so hard!! You will not regret hiring Laura!
Laura is the best of the best. Hands down. You won’t find better. We found Laura through a simple search here on the Knot and it was the best decision we ever made.
She agreed to meet us for an engagement shoot ten hours away in North Carolina, hiked up a mountain with us at 5am to get sunrise photos, shot the most gorgeous photos (this world has ever seen), and then drank breakfast beers with us and our dogs afterwards. Who does that?!
Her photos are dramatic and artistic, yet very natural and classic all at the same time. Since our engagement and wedding, Laura has become not only our “lifestyle photographer”, but a friend. We will literally call Laura for all future life events. I’m already booking her for our retirement parties 35 years from now. You will not regret trusting Laura to capture your most treasured moments and memories.
Laura is AMAZING! My fiancé and I got our engagement photos done my her and they are beautiful. Laura made us feel so comfortable and made our photo shoot so fun! I was so worried that the photo shoot would be awkward and not know what posses to do but Laura told us what to do every step of the way, making it so easy! I highly recommend Laura and I can’t wait till she takes our wedding photos for us!
My fiancé and I just had our engagement shoot with Laura and LET ME TELL YOU I am beyond happy that I went with Laura. Our photos are amazing. We had an amazing time taking them and we even brought our doggo. It was our first time ever having professional photos done, she talked us through everything and made made sure we were comfortable. Our photos came back to us so quickly also. I can't stop showing them off!! I highly recommend using Laura for your photographer.
Laura is the most incredible human I have ever met. I scoured for a photographer that looked right and met this lady in a Starbucks for a consultation. She was everything I wanted and needed. Laura shared my vision and captured it perfectly! She provided the finished product in a timely manner, with a sneak preview hours after our wedding day wrapped up. She was easy to work with, collaborated effortlessly with all of our vendors, and made me feel like the most beautiful person in the world. We will be using her for any and all photo needs! Could not say more wonderful things about this human! Thank you, Laura for capturing all of the beauty, emotions, and memories from our wedding day!
Laura was absolutely amazing during the process of planning a wedding during a pandemic. We booked her for our wedding that got postponed until 2021, but she also came to shoot our mini ceremony this past August. Laura was a delight to have there on our wedding day and made the process effortless. We just got our gallery and we and our entire family are in awe of her work...she's simply the best! THANK YOU!
**adding to this now that 2021 wedding finally happened*
If we could rate Laura 5000 stars we would!! Laura was absolutely amazing!!! Her work is stunning and speaks for itself and we cherish every single picture we get from her!! During the planning process she was super organized so that when the day finally came she kept things moving seamlessly. She knew just where the best picture spots were located and had it all planned out. Not only is she on top of her stuff and is so talented BUT she is also a complete delight to be around and put our entire wedding party in such a good mood. We are so thankful for Laura and all her hard work!!
My husband, Josh, and I cannot recommend Laura enough! When we first got engaged, and began the process of looking for our wedding photographer we had multiple phone calls and in-person meetings set up. Laura was one of the very first photographers we met with in person; at a cute little coffee shop! I will never forget the moment Josh and I walked out of the shop, and we turned to each other and said, “let’s book her!” We canceled all of our other meetings, and sealed the deal with Laura. We immediately felt comfortable with her outgoing, and bubbly personality— the kind of person you feel like you’ve known for years, but only just met! This is so important for anyone who may feel uncomfortable in front of the camera. Laura did both our engagement, and wedding photography— and we were blown away! We have been married for less than a week, and Laura already surprised us with not only a few pictures the night of our wedding but an album of sneak peeks. Laura truly tells a story behind the lens! Laura is beyond talented, professional, hard working and will make the entire experience fun for both you, your fiancé and your entire bridal party. We truly loved working with Laura, and cannot wait to work with her as we grow our family. Thank you, Laura!!
If you are looking for a wedding photographer, you just found her. Laura is amazing! She works with you to get your timeline down perfectly and get all the special shots that you want for your day, plus her photos are STUNNING! She did such an amazing job on our wedding and was timely getting pictures to us. And if you're someone who doesn't like getting your picture taken (like me), Laura is the hype girl you need! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone for their wedding!
Laura is more than just an incredible photographer. She is a gem of a person! She will give you amazing photos that make you feel beautiful. They will make you feel the magic and joy of your wedding day all over again!! But even more than that, having Laura by your side on your wedding day is a game changer. She has done this for years and is so professional. She knows all the rig things to say, how to relax you and comfort you, how to make you laugh, encourage and empower you and make you feel so beautiful. I could not imagine our day without it her!
Laura was very punctual and accommodating with any photos or ideas I suggested. We had a very small backyard wedding and I was thankful she photographs all sizes of weddings/events, big or smaller
Laura was absolutely perfect in every way for our elopement!! We postponed our reception and decided to elope and she captured every photo perfectly! She also took the time to visit potential parks to help us visualize photos and plan out our elopement! She was so responsive and helpful the entire process. And let me tell you this process was so crazy! We planned this elopement during the pandemic so we were already struggling to get permits and a marriage license, and then on top of that we had a tropical storm the day of the elopement. Laura was so calming and flexible the full day of the elopement. She was ready for anything to help us! We were able to get maybe 15 min of no rain to exchange vows and it rained the rest of the time, but the photos came out so beautiful!! Laura has shot our engagement, elopement and next year will also do our formal wedding. We can’t recommend Laura enough as a photographer, she literally is the BEST!!
Laura was absolutely UNREAL to have by my side on our wedding day. We probably had the worst weather of the winter season on our wedding day. Despite the rain, sleet, and hail - Laura kept me calm, kept us on schedule and managed our wedding party and family effortlessly. The photos came out more unbelievable than I could have ever imagined. Laura has the ability to make you feel like you have known her for years and that she is truly your friend. My family and friends absolutely LOVED her. Seriously our day would not have gone as smooth without her. She mad the entire planning process a breeze and was such a joy to work with, She turned around photos in what felt like no time. Each photo better than the last. She so perfectly captured our day. I felt like every moment and emotion was captured in our gallery. She was PERFECT and such a kind and caring person to work with. BOOK HER - you will not regret it!!!!
There are not enough words to describe how truly wonderful Laura Briggs is. I met Laura in September 2018 when she was shooting a wedding that I was a bridesmaid in. Within no time at all, I was sure I needed to have her for my January 2020 wedding. From the very early stages of the planning process all the way through to the wedding day, Laura put me at ease and reaffirmed my (very quick) decision to hire her as my wedding photographer. She is someone you feel like you’ve known forever and so genuinely loves what she does. She valued everything that we told her that we wanted and made us feel so cared about and loved from the moment we met with her! On our wedding day when we got behind our original schedule and our ceremony didn’t start on time, she never missed a beat and assured me not to worry about anything. Her bright, positive energy allowed her to fit in so flawlessly with our bridal party. Her attention to detail is amazing and our wedding photos are photos that we will cherish forever. Each photo is more perfect than the next and being able to re-live our wedding day through them is such a gift that Laura was able to give us. Look no further when searching for a wedding photographer because I feel so honored that she was mine and I cannot imagine my day without her!!
Omg where to begin! Laura is the sweetest person and so incredibly talented. She understands exactly what you want within 5 minutes of speaking with her and brings forward new ideas. She made us feel so comfortable and not look awkward at all in any of the photos. She is super fun to hang out with so it just feels like you are working with your best friend. She made the entire process so seamless from start to finish and was very quick to return the photos after our shoots. All of our friends and family raved over our engagement and wedding photos. We honestly couldn't find a bad picture in the hundreds that she took. We cannot recommend Laura enough! We definitely plan to continue to work with her in the future for family photos, etc. Thank you so much again Laura!!!!! You're the best!!!!
Wedding date: November 15, 2019.
We were actually put in touch with Laura by a photographer we initially contacted but turned out to not be available for our date. Talk about the best referral we could have received!
From the very beginning, Laura made us feel as though we and our wedding were important to her. It was almost hard to believe through the process that she had other events going on because she was consistently so invested and attentive to our requests, questions and event.
One of my favorite parts was our phone call about two months out where we discussed what was important to us as a couple and what vibe we wanted captured at our wedding. She also requested a detailed list of portraits we wanted. There was so much communication in all the time leading up to our wedding and Laura never left us hanging, responding always in a very timely manner.
Wedding day: Laura and her backup photographer, Emily, were both fantastic. They worked together to make very sure that they were capturing everything as we had requested, while also making sure we were able to break off and enjoy our day. Laura made everything so comfortable and easy for us and never made it seem like we were on any kind of schedule or what to follow a rule book. Everything flowed beautifully and I will never forget dancing with my friends and family and looking over to see Laura joining us for “The Wobble.” She was so actively a part of our day and has a winning personality that fit right in with all of us.
Getting our pictures back: within 48 hours, we had a sneak peak. And it seemed like A TON of photos! I couldn’t even imagine that she had more to send us. Then the final gallery came. Oh my goodness, did these ladies capture our day better than we could have imagined! The photos just seemed never ending and she managed to get everything we asked for and so much more. I even printed some to send along with some of our thank yous that I knew some attendees would love to have.
My husband and I are so happy to have worked with Laura! We were even saying that if we need professional photos done for any other occasion, we will be sure to reach out to her first!
Thank you so much for everything, Laura!
I knew Laura was the perfect photographer for me from our first call! She was so easy to talk to, super organized, and made me feel like I can check one really huge thing off my list. My DJ was even excited to work with her again since she’s the best! Even though we finally met on my wedding day, I felt like I was hanging out with a friend. She was so much fun and so great with our families and friends. She was super quick with the pictures, and they were unbelievable. Thank you so much Laura for capturing the best day of my life!
Where do I even begin? Laura Briggs is the GOAT. Our first impressions of Laura were solidified in the very beginning of our planning process. Laura possesses astute attention to detail and love for her chosen profession. She is efficient and focused. In addition to that, her enthusiasm and playful attitude put us at ease through out the entire day. Not only was Laura a rockstar on our wedding day, but she also had an incredible turnover time and did an outstanding job through out her post production process.
Laura gave us the gift of being able to relive one of the most important days of our lives by capturing intimate moments and intricate details. We will treasure these beautiful photos for the rest of our lives! She is an extremely gifted artist who cares deeply about her clients. I’m not sure there’s much more you could look for in a person or photographer! We love Laura! Don’t waste another second and contact this beautiful person so she can do for you what she did for us!
Let me start off by saying how thankful I am we found Laura! When we met up for the first time at a little local coffee shop I knew I wanted her to be my photographer for my wedding. She went above and beyond to make sure our day was special. Not only was her work absolutely wonderful, but her personality was exactly what I needed. Sweet, firm, encouraging, and motivational. The photographer was one of the top things that needed to be perfect, so I was determined to find someone I really connected with and loved their personality. Laura and her assistant were really the perfect photographers. Laura even came out a few months before the wedding to scope out the venue.
Beautiful work, awesome personality— choose Laura to capture your moments!
All of the other reviews are 100% right - Laura is awesome! Her work is beautiful, and thoughtful - her love for her job is evident in every shot. The photos from our wedding are perfect. As a person, Laura is warm, friendly, patient, and understanding. From our first meeting, I knew Laura would be amazing to work with!
We are not "picture people" and opted not to do an engagement shoot. Laura didn't push or try to upsell us, which was so wonderful. (In retrospect, I wish we had done it.) We're also not really comfortable being the center of attention, but Laura and Emily (second shooter) made us feel so comfortable, and at ease the day of our wedding. And that was such a gift.
I can't recommend Laura enough. She really is amazing.
LAURA YOU ARE AMAZING. I could not be happier with my choice in photographer. Guests at my wedding LOVED these energetic ladies! A few guests at my wedding thought that they were my friends as well as my photo/video team, which was awesome because they were so friendly they made me feel as though we were friends also! They made us feel amazing as they were snapping photos and taking video, which was awesome for us since we don’t always love getting photos taken. She had our photos back to us in a very short time, and the results were fabulous. Seriously thinking about hiring her again for any photo need in the future!!
The fact that I can't have Laura follow me around every day and take my picture depresses me. It didn't even feel like she was our photographer but more like our friend. The Laura Briggs team was hands down amazing and just a delight to work with. After seeing the sneak peek of our photos I can't wait to see the rest!
Laura was very accommodating and easy to work with from the beginning. She helped us figure out what sorts of photos were most important to us on our wedding day and how we wanted the day to be captured and remembered. On the actual wedding day, she and her second shooter Amy took tons of photos in beautiful settings. She had even taken the time to scope out our venue beforehand. She was very comfortable to work with on the wedding day and brings a genuine excitement to her job that makes getting through all the photos an enjoyable experience. She also sent us all of our photos in a very timely manner after our wedding. We could not have been happier with choosing her to be our photographer!
Believe me when I say YOU NEED LAURA for your wedding. When we met her for our engagement photos everything just clicked. She instantly made us feel so comfortable and it truly felt like hanging out with a friend. When we received the finished products in record time I was again impressed. They were stunning. It made choosing one for our save the dates so hard. Through the process we were in constant contact. She was so wonderful to work with and always felt not only invested in her work but invested in us and our wedding. Again, it didn’t feel like doing business with Laura it felt like doing a project with a friend. When we met again before the wedding I knew she understood our vibe and what was important to us. She’s so good with people, you can tell. Finally the wedding.. Laura was a dream. At this point she’s become a good friend. It was so natural having her there. She’s so encouraging and knew exactly what shots would look good. She made my family and friends feel comfortable while also feeling like she wasn’t there at all. She was on board with all of our silly ideas and fixed any snags along the way. ( Even those that weren’t her job to fix) Laura also seemed to clearly be enjoying herself. You can tell this girl LOVES her job and that’s the kind of person you want around on a day that celebrates love. Finally the results. Laura got a sneak peak to us SO fast. I mean the next day! Our complete photos we got back in 3 weeks, which compared to a lot of other weddings I’ve been a part of is just amazing. Our pictures are absolutely perfect. I go through them and relive that day all over again. They are beautiful and capture our personalities so perfectly. The best decision we made for our wedding was hiring Laura. She’s a genuinely good person which is hard to find. She is so passionate about her work and incredibly talented. We cannot wait to hire her again.
