The pictures came out beautiful and the day went so smoothly! Laura worked with us leading up to the wedding to get a shot timeline so we didn’t miss anything. She is so sweet and we have her photos all over our house!
The thought of beginning to look for a photographer for my wedding immediately caused stressed. I knew exactly what I was looking for, with such a specific picture and vision in my head and was so unsure I would find it. It wasn't until I came across Laura Lee Photography photos, that I was FINALLY relieved that I had found everything I was looking for. From the moment that I reached out Laura and her team made the planning process so effortless and guided my husband and I the entire way through. My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Laura's colleague Sydney, and I cannot rave enough about her. For a couple who was extremely nervous to take professional photos together and who have no photos together, Sydney made sure to capture us and exactly who we are. Everything from our engagement shoot to our wedding day went with such ease thanks to Sydney leading us through it all. Sydney was available for every single question that I had throughout the process and re-assured me along the way that everything would be perfect, and she was right. I cannot thank Sydney and Laura Lee Photography for capturing photos that I will cherish for a lifetime.
Laura is absolutely phenomenal! We interviewed many wedding photographers and she was by far, the best pick for us. She is not your average wedding photographer. You can clearly see how she is a leader in her field responsible for training the next generation of photographers. Her photos are bright, beautiful and airy and she is extremely kind, organized, thoughtful and helpful. The day of the wedding, she felt like much more than a photographer! She acted as a coordinator, hype girl, and even therapist! She made myself and my entire family feel beautiful and special. Her attention to detail and different permutations for photographs meant a lot to my family who wanted to ensure we had pictures with all of the people who mean the most to us! Laura may be busy and have a lot of amazing things going on with her businesses, but you will always feel like her only client due to the attention and responsiveness she provides. Her systems for scheduling, messaging, payment, and surveys are extremely efficient and simple to use. We cannot wait for Laura to photograph our next family wedding/special occasions! She is a gem!
I cannot say enough about how amazing our photographs came out from Laura. After postponements and date changes, Laura was so flexible and understanding throughout the whole process. She was organized and throughout while planning and she truly treats you as part of her family when working with you. She cares about every detail… maybe even more than I could have ever imagined. She frequently reached out to discuss planning, getting to know us and putting together an amazing timeline for the day to flow smoothly. She made wedding planning so much easier. All the planning beforehand is important, but the day of the event is the even more important. Laura and Kate (the second shooter) were absolutely amazing, helpful and calming throughout the wedding. They were able to get all the shots that I wanted and made it feel so organized and fluid when switching out people. All my wedding party complimented me about how smooth the process was. Laura’s photos were absolutely stunning! My husband and I are not ones to take many photos, but she made us feel comfortable and made it interactive which made the photos so natural and not overly posed. We have received sooo many compliments on how beautiful the photos came out from family and friends. She has such a great eye for lighting, background and placement that makes the pictures more beautiful than we could have even imagined. She is truly the best and would highly recommend her for any photography needs!!! Thank you so much Laura, you made our wedding day and memories so special which will last a lifetime!
Two years ago my now wife and I attended a wedding where Laura was the photographer. I watched the way she interacted with everyone at the wedding and how engaged she was with the bride and groom. I immediately turned to my wife and said “we’re hiring her for our wedding.”
Through the two year process and postponing our wedding due to COVID, Laura never lost touch with us. She remained in contact to constantly give us new updates and tips on how to prepare for our upcoming day.
The day of the wedding I knew we made the best decision for our wedding photographer. Laura and her second shooter, Sydney, were incredible. Both of them worked smoothly and efficiently with our videographers. They worked flawlessly throughout the night with all of our requests and took incredible photos that we can cherish for the rest of our lives. Our friends, family, and bridal party adored Laura and Sydney. They have constantly complimented the patience and professionalism our photographer duo brought to the wedding.
I plan on continuing to hire Laura for all events where we need a photographer for the rest of our lives. I highly recommend Laura Lee Photography.
Laura is an absolute dream to work with - not to mention the talent she has for capturing such special moments. Laura photographed our engagement photos in 2019, our micro wedding in 2020, and our postponed wedding this past weekend. She has such a natural way of capturing perfect photos while making her couples feel so at ease. Not to mention, Laura is incredibly organized and professional, which made our postponement process much easier to navigate. Her colleague Kate, was also soooo nice to work with at our 2021 wedding. So attentive and kind! I'd recommend Laura a million times! Cannot wait to have her shoot our future milestones :)
All I can say is WOW. Laura and her team were so amazing to work with on our wedding day. She and her second shooter Kate were so kind and helpful in wrangling our crew and getting the most beautiful photos on our special day. It was just perfect and we love reliving our day through all of the beautiful photos. Laura is SUPER organized and has such an amazing attention to detail, as someone who is so type A, I felt completely comfortable knowing that she was the one capturing our special day!!
Finding a photographer was a huge part of our wedding planning process, as we knew that our photos were incredibly important to us to be able to put on display and cherish for years to come after our wedding day. After coming across Laura's work, we immediately fell in love with her light, airy style, and knew we had to reach out. While reading about her interests and talking to her on the phone for our initial discussion, we immediately felt connected to her and knew that she had to capture our big day. She was so full of life, kind, accommodating, and you could tell just how much time, effort, and energy goes into her work. She truly loves what she does, and she spends the time getting to know her couples and make them feel confident and comfortable with her. Being a COVID couple was challenging to say the least, but Laura was so accommodating and communicative during the whole process, and made moving our wedding date a breeze. She is so organized and walks you through everything you need to know and what to expect for the big day. All of my other vendors and family members commented on how organized she was and how they loved having a copy of the timeline so that everyone knew where to be, when. She was always available to hop on the phone and chat when we felt like we needed a check in, and always answered the constant questions in a timely fashion over the 2.5 years of planning. The day of the wedding, she was a true rock star - keeping everyone on time and also just being her energetic, bubbly self the whole day. All of our wedding party and family members commented on how wonderful she was and how they felt her excitement while she was taking photos, and that made them even more excited to be standing there posing for the photos. We just got our full gallery back and all I can say is - WOW!!!! The photos are STUNNING and she captured our day exactly as we remember it. We were brought to tears going through the 1,500+ photos of us and our loved ones, and felt all of the emotions of each part of the day through the photos she captured. We love all of them SO much that we're having trouble picking which ones to print and put on display throughout the house. They're all THAT beautiful and perfect. Laura is truly fantastic at what she does, and her personality just makes it that much more enjoyable to work with her. We can't recommend Laura enough!
Laura photographed our intimate July wedding at Red Maple Vineyard. She was so lovely to work with - super responsive, helpful, accommodating when we had to change our date last minute, and extremely knowledgeable in her craft. I LOVE her light, airy style and felt like her pictures beautifully captured the stunning scenery at our venue. On the day-of she was so calm and kept our families and wedding parties moving through all the pictures seamlessly. We love our pictures and our album and so appreciate all the care and love that was put in by Laura and her team. If you want a personalized experience with amazing photos, she is definitely the one to book!
Laura is the best photographer in the business!! I knew before I was even engaged I had to have her photograph my wedding. She was my first vendor to be ever contacted and I would have gladly changed my date to accommodate her. Laura is so easy to work with and so welcoming. I can not say enough good things about her! If you are lucky enough to be one of her couples, you can relax and focus on your million mile to do list. We love Laura and will be thinking of a million reasons to work with her again!!!!
My wife and I got married on July 20th at Red Maple Vineyard. We hired Laura and her awesome team to photograph our wedding and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. Leading up to the wedding, Laura was ultra communicative, so easy to work with and even sent us little surprise “gifts” as we approached our big day. When it came to the wedding, Laura and her team were awesome. It just so happened that we would get married on the hottest day of the year with an outdoor ceremony. This did not affect Laura and her team at all. They were there for us every moment, were so organized and were extremely flexible. It’s so nice to have a photographer who lets you be you, realized exactly what was most important to us during the night and delivers. Laura and her team were awesome from the start of the day when the photographed us getting ready all the way to the end of the night photographing us at the firepit eating some s’mores. We also just got our pictures… And they are amazing! Our friends and families cannot believe at how great they came out. If you are looking for a wedding photographer, you should hire Laura, without any hesitation. Thank You Laura!
Simply the best!
From the beginning, Laura was very responsive and reached out to me immediately once I inquired. From our first skype call, to her online billing system, everything about working with her was simple and professional. She is truly passionate about her work and knows these photos are meaningful and will be around forever. From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, Laura was continuously engaged with us throughout the process and put together our day of timeline. Days before the wedding, she made sure all our vendors and family members were on the same page with the timeline by sending them an email and her contact information.
Truly a STRESSFREE process for a bride and groom knowing that you have Laura and a support team behind you. She’ll go the extra step for great pictures. We received so many compliments from our friends and family on how hard she worked and how friendly she was!
I believe that photos are the biggest part of a wedding and an investment since they last forever. Every bride wants a beautiful sunny day for their wedding, even if it was extremely hot on my wedding day, I knew that Laura would be able to capture us in the best light.
I could go on and on about how wonderful Laura is. I strongly recommend Laura Lee Photography and I look forward to continuing my relationship with her.
Thank you for everything you did for us on our special day!!!
My Husband and I LOVED working with Laura. Not only did she make my camera shy husband feel comfortable in front of the camera, but she truly cared about our story and capturing our love. Laura was extremely organized, communicative and flexible which helped calm my nerves in every way possible. We were thrilled with our engagement pictures and even more in love with our wedding pictures. We are so glad we chose to be a Laura Lee couple and can not wait to work with her again in the future!
Laura is one of a kind! The way she captured our story throughout our engagement as well as on our wedding day was flawless! We first met Laura at my best friend’s wedding. She arrived on site with a calm and professional attitude and made us all feel at ease as we finished getting ready. She was flexible, kind, and just a joy to be around! After getting engaged, we knew that she would be the perfect person to capture our day! When we first spoke with Laura, we had told her about how we wanted to take engagement pictures during each season of the year. Laura sounded even more excited than we did! She began sending articles, and ideas of ways we could make our vision become a reality. When unexpectedly warm weather during the week of our winter shoot melted all the snow but a small patch in her backyard, she invited us over and craftily created a setting that looked like we were in a wintery wonderland! My husband is normally pretty uncomfortable and stilted when getting his picture taken, but Laura did a great job of getting him to ease up and be a little silly in front of the camera. On the day of our wedding, Laura made sure that we felt comfortable, took time to cater to our vision, and worked to ensure that we took to the time to breathe in the special moments that made up our day. Often, when you have a videographer and photographer staring at you for the whole day, it can be difficult to feel comfortable to take a moment with your mom, or your husband, and just be together. Laura made sure that we had that time. She felt out what was going on in the room, and asked the rest of our vendors to give us the space we needed to take in our special day. It was such a nice surprise and relief to know that we had a genuine heart looking after us, just as invested in this day as we were. Laura, we love you! Thank you for everything! And for those couples looking for a photographer, if you all are sweet, genuine people that want a photographer who is down to earth and talented, look no further friends, Laura is it! Oh my gosh! And the album is exquisite! Such an incredible keepsake for my husband and I and our parents!
Where do we even begin? Laura is not only an incredible photographer, but she is an incredible person. Laura went above and beyond for our engagement and wedding, doing greater than we could have ever imagined. She truly cares about your vision and takes her time to get to know the couples she works with. We can not thank you enough Laura for all you have done and for capturing some of the greatest moments of our lives!

There are not enough words to explain how fantastic Laura is! I had such a tough time finding a photographer for our wedding day! I finally came across Laura’s work and I loved all of her work! When I reached out to Laura she contacted me back saying how she lived right down the street from where we would be getting married and that she helped design the lodge where we would be having the reception. Laura was by far our favorite vendor we booked for the wedding she made everything so easy and she’s so organized and professional! If you are looking for a talented professional photographer for your wedding day Laura lee photography is the one!!! So many family members and friends came up to me asking about the photographer she was such a joy to work with!
Thank you for being part of our big day!!!
Casey and Jack
Laura did an AMAZING job capturing our big day! She is not only an amazing photographer, but an amazing friend! She was so prepared for anything that came our way, and made sure to capture all the special moments we wanted. We would recommend her to anyone!
Choosing Laura Lee Photography for our September wedding was the best decision that we made by far. I knew that I wanted Laura as our photographer almost immediately. I shared my concerns that, as a plus size bride, i was little nervous i was going to be self conscious and not like our pictures. We did the engagement photos last fall and when i got them back, i almost burst into tears. She is able to make you look better than you've ever looked in your life. She was able to capture our love, silliness, and quirks with her lens. My friends laugh at how plastered our home and belongings are with photos of us!
Laura is not just a photographer but acts as a wedding planner! She would send us sweet packages and emails of super helpful blogs throughout the planning process. I felt so confident that we hadn't forgotten any detail because Laura was so on top of it!
Our wedding was 3 weeks ago and it was the perfect day. Laura's schedule flowed perfectly and everyone had the best time with her and her second shooter. She was able to send over the majority of our photos already and OH MY GOSH perfection. Don't walk, RUN, to Laura for all your photography needs. Thank you, Laura, for making our special day even more special with your amazing gift.
We don’t even know where to start to explain how amazing Laura is. Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer but she is now a friend! When we first started looking for a Photographer we wanted to work with someone local but we struggled with quality of work and affordability. Laura Lee Photography was different from the start—our first conversation seemed like we were old friends for years. We knew we had found the person who would capture the memories that we would have for the rest of our lives. Laura is willing to do just about anything, including rolling under a fence in a dress, to get the perfect shot. The timeline she put together for our First Look and wedding was detailed down to the minute! It was so well planned, that we used it to coordinate our other vendors!! Laura is also very genuine and was truly excited when she was able to capture moments that were very unique and meaningful to us. For example, Laura helped carry 10lbs weights and kettlebells to a local track when we told her we wanted to do a fitness themed Engagement Photo session. Beyond the call of duty!! To be honest, we spent more than our planned budget for photography, and if we could go back in time, we would have purchased a BIGGEST package she has! Laura spent a year getting to know us a people and made us feel like we were her most important client. Laura’s talent is the best in the business and offers a truly exceptional service. We are a Laura Lee couple for life and trust her to capture our best moments for years to come.
It's simple to see how beautiful Laura's photos are - just look at her website. But what impressed me the most about having Laura as our wedding photographer was how seamless she made everything. First of all, she is the sweetest, most genuine individual who goes above and beyond for her clients. She is clearly a busy person, but she will make you feel so special from the first time you talk to her to well after your wedding day. She coordinates with all your vendors to make sure everyone is on the same page and informed, she creates detailed timelines and above all, she takes time to form a relationship with her clients which really makes those moments in front of the camera more natural, fun, and memorable (which of course results in phenomenal photographs). I really can't rave about Laura enough. I almost wish I were getting married again just so she could take more photos for me! If you're able to book her, I promise you will not regret it.
There are not enough words to express how fantastic Laura is! From the most important decisions to the tiny details, Laura was there for my husband and I in all the planning of our special day! Not only were our engagement and wedding photos absolutely beautiful but Laura was our cheerleader through the whole process. We are so grateful for all her hard work, dedication to her craft, and for the friendship we now share.
Laura made our dreams come true on our wedding day! From initially contacting her to inquire about availability to receiving sneak-peak photos after the wedding, she has been absolutely amazing. Laura is super responsive to emails and calls and we really appreciated her quick correspondence throughout the entire planning process. She captured some of the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen. Laura is so passionate about what she does that working with her was so easy. Laura smiled all day long even though it was 90+ degrees outside and with each shot she took she was just as excited as us. Laura had fun all day long constantly looking for the perfect spot to capture the beauty of the day. Her photography is amazing and she is also the most kind and thoughtful person ever! Laura is so professional and precise. She was such a PLEASURE to work with! If you want all the magic captured on your wedding day, Laura Lee is the one to do it!
When we first met with Laura, we knew immediately that we had found our wedding photographer! Laura was not only very organized and professional, but also so much fun to be around and reassuring. To begin, our engagement photo session was perfect. We were so relaxed with Laura during our sessions that all our photos came out looking so natural. We had a beautiful (and fun!) picnic at the top of Bear Mountain with the sun setting in the backdrop. After seeing how perfectly well the pictures turned out, were we beyond excited in anticipation for our wedding photos, so we also decided to book her for an extra session at our Chinese banquet. She did not disappoint. She captured all the important moments of our banquet and even our wedding party kept mentioning to us how much they enjoyed having her there.
We had some rain on our wedding day at our outdoor venue, but with Laura’s talent, the weather appeared perfect in our photos. Laura certainly didn’t let the damp/rain get her down at all – she was completely positive and upbeat while she went around our outdoor venue with us, taking photos from all angles, getting the perfect shot. Even more importantly, she was able to capture all the sweetest, most genuine, and fun moments of the day.
Laura really made our whole wedding extra special. It is also great that she is so involved in the wedding industry and works well with the other vendors to coordinate our wedding schedule. Laura is amazingly organized and essentially provided us with a template to structure our wedding schedule around. During the whole stressful planning process, she would even send us little care packages!! To this day, we hope to have a rock climbing/photo session with her. We can’t recommend Laura enough; picking her as our wedding photographer was one of the BEST decisions we made during the planning process! Thank you Laura for such a great experience and we hope you stay in touch so that we have many more adventures with you in the future!
We made the absolutely best choice in booking Laura as our photographer. She was recommended by a good friend of ours and once we saw her pictures, we knew we had to go with Laura. She is able to capture the most genuine moments between her couples - this is probably because she is the most genuine, thoughtful and kind-hearted person. Not only is she incredibly talented and dedicated to her work - but she goes above and beyond for her couples. She sent sweet gifts in the months leading up to the wedding and was so incredibly organized and responsive throughout. She made the planning process so much easier and even recommended the majority of our other vendors who were also incredible! Our wedding would not have been nearly as amazing as it was if we didn't have Laura. And I was the most calm, stress-free bride knowing I had Laura by my side throughout the day. She makes taking pictures feel so natural and fun, it never feels like posing. And a few weeks after the wedding when we received our pictures, we were absolutely blown away by the images she captured. We love every single picture. We are so lucky that we had Laura to capture the many details of our wedding, the beautiful scenery and the love throughout the day. Thanks to her, we get to relive our best day and we couldn't be more grateful. Thank you, Laura for everything!! We miss you already :)
Laura is and was one of the best vendors we booked!! Photography and music were at the top of my list of must haves when I started planning our wedding and Laura was soo easy to work with and emailed us back right away whenever we had a question. She's incredibly professional and extremely talented. Her personality is so infectious! You can't go wrong when book her!!
I first met Laura as a bridesmaid in a wedding, where it really struck me how personally invested she was in capturing the bride & groom's true selves. I knew that once I got engaged, she would be the photographer who I could count on not just as a professional to take beautiful photos, but as an empathetic person to tell our story.
My fiance and I booked Laura Lee Photography at the same priority level of choosing the wedding venue. She's incredibly organized with planning, communicative with details, knowledgeable with the wedding space, talented with shooting, quick with turnarounds, and available for us every step of the way. Most uniquely, Laura has a genuine love for love stories and a gift for connecting with others.
Our wedding was a few weeks ago, and viewing our gallery has brought us so much joy! Laura captured so many special moments and details that would've otherwise just been a blur, and it's wonderful to be able to savor the memories of a day that truly does fly by. In addition to everything stated above, here are just SOME of the many ways Laura went above and beyond for our wedding day:
- She was able to pull off all the pictures we asked for plus more in an extremely tight timeframe (we had a mass & receiving line, no first look, and two different locations)
- She hurdled rocks and a stream to get the most romantic settings
- She was the one person to remember to bring our wedding rings to the church
- She inspired laughter and sweet moments of wholehearted reflection with the wedding party in what otherwise could've felt stressful or rushed
- She ninja'd any opportunity to capture something beautiful or meaningful -- it's amazing seeing all these gems in our gallery that we couldn't even notice that day
Laura is absolutely worth it. Thank you for being so incredibly dedicated and caring to your brides!!!
Selecting Laura Lee Photography for our wedding photography needs was the best choice we made! Laura is an outstanding photographer and made the whole process enjoyable and stress free. She gave tips, suggestions, and really helped to coordinate our whole wedding timeline, so we did not have to worry about anything going wrong. Laura's photography style is very timeless and that is the look we were really searching for. Her constant attention to detail and flexibility allowed our wedding to look spectacular and run smoothly! Both our engagement photos and wedding photos turned out amazing and our guests can not stop raving about how beautiful the photos are. Our experience with Laura Lee Photography was nothing short of amazing and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to have their special day documented beautifully!
We absolutely loved having Laura as our photographer for both our engagement and wedding photos! From our initial video call, we felt like we were working with an old friend. She is extremely organized and efficient, while remaining personable.
Over the course of the 15 months between our booking date and our wedding day, Laura was very communicative and even sent us fun little gifts and activities to do together as a couple, such as a journal to write our story. During our engagement shoot, she was open to our ideas but also had plenty of her own, while making us feel comfortable and confident.
Thanks to Laura we came into our wedding day with a detailed photography timeline. More importantly, we were able to successfully stick to the timeline, which allowed us to spend more time with our friends and family. Laura arrived promptly and spent the first part of our day with me and the bridesmaids. She fit right in and we all enjoyed her jokes that she told to get us laughing. Some of those photos are my absolute favorites from our day. Her second shooter, Monika, spent the first part of our day with my husband and the groomsmen. She was professional and took great photos.
After our wedding day, we didn’t need to wait long to see our photos. We were impressed with not only how quickly we received our photos, but also with their impeccable quality. I can’t get over how beautiful they are; our family and friends agree. We are so grateful to have these amazing photos from our day. We are able to relive each moment whenever we look through them.
Laura was the perfect choice for us and we are so happy that she is part of our story. We highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!
Laura is so much more than a talented photographer. From our very first skype meeting, she made us feel prepared and excited for our engagement shoot and wedding. She created our timeline, connected with our vendors and kept everyone calm and happy on the big day.
Laura, you know how to make everyone around you feel comfortable and special - taking pictures have never been such a blast!
Okay, now about the photos: oh my goodness!!! Not only are the individual, couple, group and family shots absolutely amazing, but her talent really shines when you get to see the ceremony, reception and candid shots. Laura completely captures the moments and the emotions within those moments. Looking through her photos made us feel like we were reliving the whole day over again!
Oh, and how could I forget, she sends you little notes and gifts and keeps connected with you along the way - who does that?!
I honestly cannot say enough nice things about Laura - I wish I could give her more than 5 stars!!! From start to finish she was easily the best choice we made for our wedding!
My husband and I just adore Laura. She photographed my best friend's wedding last June, ours this June and will be doing our other best's friends wedding in September. Her photos are a dream, so romantic and capture all of the excitement of being engaged and getting married. Laura is so lovely to work with. She is so sweet and makes you feel instantly at ease in front of the camera. She is also extremely organized and professional. She was so helpful making our wedding day timeline and got all of the shots we wanted. We couldn't be happier with our wedding and engagement photos. Thank you Laura for making our day so special and for capturing our love story so beautifully! You will not regret choosing Laura Lee Photography. Our wedding day went so fast and was such a blur. I am SO happy we chose Laura and now have all of our gorgeous photos to cherish.
Laura is amazing! My fiance and I used her for our engagement shoot recently and were blown away by the photos. We're getting married in Italy, or else we'd snag her for our wedding as well! Laura was great at making us feel comfortable, she was so so friendly, and we had a great time!! Highly recommend!
Choosing Laura Lee Photography was one of the best decisions we made throughout our wedding planning process! Laura was recommended to us by another photographer who was already booked on our wedding date, and we are so glad she was! Laura is great and easy to work with. She is organized, detail oriented, and efficient. Although it is no secret that Laura has a very busy schedule, she truly makes you feel like you are her only client and top priority. Within minutes on the wedding day she knew all of our family members and the wedding party by name. Laura’s unique photography style is simply beautiful and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better to capture our wedding day.
We are SO happy that we booked Laura Lee Photography for our wedding! Not only did the day run smooth and our pictures come out gorgeous but Laura is such a pleasure to work with! She is beyond sweet and made the day that much more enjoyable! Our entire experience from booking to the engagement shoot to getting our pictures just a few weeks later was amazing and we couldn't have asked for anything better!
Laura was the best investment we made for our wedding. She's professional, has a wonderful personality, truly cares about every single one of her clients, and is incredibly talented. I 100% agree with other reviewers who said it feels like you're working with a friend. She's amazing. Communication is easy, she's flexible and helpful, we received everything in a reasonable amount of time, and I can't imagine being happier with anyone else's work. I tried to make a "favorites" folder for our wedding pictures, and I had to stop myself halfway through because I had chosen SO MANY. Seeing how many people are disappointed with the result of their wedding pictures, we're almost embarrassed by how happy we are with ours! Laura is worth the investment a hundred times over. You won't regret it!
We were so lucky to work with such amazing vendors who helped to make our wedding better than we ever could have imagined. Laura Lee Photography was truly the best of the best. From the moment we met Laura, we knew that we wanted her to be a part of our day, not just as our photographer, but as a friend. Laura's photos are absolutely amazing and we couldn't have asked for our wedding to be captured any more beautifully. But, believe it or not, that's not the best part of Laura. She is fun, smart, has a huge heart, and truly truly just loves her job. She got to know us right away and knew more about what I wanted for my day than even I think I knew. She made Keith and I feel so comfortable and we had so much fun spending the day with her. Her timeline was extremely thorough and she kept to it perfectly. We had a ton of time after pictures to relax a bit before the ceremony, which was really nice. I could go on and on about Laura. She is an absolute must have vendor. If you're still up in the air about choosing a wedding photographer, look no further. I promise you, you will NOT be disappointed.
We used Laura as our wedding photographer this fall and truly could not have been happier with both Laura herself and her work! Everything she did from the moment we interviewed her before hiring, to the followup after the wedding had a personal touch and felt like we were working with a friend that we had known for years. Before the wedding Laura accommodated our engagement pictures perfectly and was in constant communication about what to expect and helped us plan our day and make sure everything was going to be perfect. On the day of, Laura and her second shooter arrived early and even last minute during the reception when we decided we didn't get all the shots we wanted, worked for an extra hour on no notice. Laura was always extremely nice, never pushy about making the day anything other than what we wanted it to be and every suggestion she provided during the process truly helped make our day perfect. Finally, her finished product is second to none. All of our pictures were exactly in the style we wanted, absolutely nothing corny, overdone, etc. Just classy, natural elegant photos with great lighting, color and variety. I would highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for someone who is truly a wedding photographer and will make your memories perfect!
When it came to booking our wedding photographer, I didn't really even know where to start. I am a VERY detail oriented person and I had a picture in my mind of exactly what I hoped my wedding day and photos would look like, but putting that vision into someone else's hands to execute was a little nerve wracking for me. We happened to stumble upon Laura when I was discussing the fact that I desperately needed a photographer with a coworker who was also getting married. She gave me Laura's name, and the rest is history. From the first time that we video chatted with Laura, we knew that she was a perfect match for my crazy attention to detail and desire to have everything authentic and beautiful, and Mike's easy going personality. And after all is said and done, I have to say that hiring Laura for our wedding was the best decision we made during the entire planning process!! I never thought that I would come across a vendor that cared about my wedding day just as much as I did, but Laura is that person. At this point, I even feel silly writing the word "vendor" because over the course of the last year and a half, Laura has become a friend to both of us. She is extremely passionate about what she does, and that is evident both when you are around her and when you see her final work. Both our engagement and wedding day pictures came out more beautifully than I could have ever imagined, and I have received countless comments about how amazing my photographer was to have taken such gorgeous shots!!
Aside from her beautiful work, Laura is an absolute joy to work with, which to me is just as important. She takes the time to really get to know her clients and is genuinely interested in learning about the love story that lead each couple to their wedding day. Read any one of her blog posts and you will see that very quickly. She absolutely loves love and her photography style shows that through all of the amazing candid moments she is able to capture. She has every single detail covered, from her couples’ questionnaires to showing up on the wedding day and knowing the names of all 8 bridesmaids and family members, it is a shock that she can keep it all straight!! What was most surprising to me (and more of a proud mama moment) was when every single other vendor commented to me how amazing, organized, thorough, and unique my photographer was!! There is no one else in the industry that puts as much time, effort, and passion into what they do as Laura does.
Anyone who desires authentic, timeless, inspired pictures should hire Laura for their wedding! She is amazing and unique in every way and we are so grateful to have worked with her. Our amazing photos will be with us forever to remind us of our best day ever. Thank you, Laura!!!!!
I hope that anyone considering a wedding photographer reads this comment. My husband and I were "blank slaters" when planning our wedding. As a couple in our mid 20s, we were left to our own volition to plan the outdoorsy, rustic, whimsical wedding of our dreams. I had a specific style in mind but no words were rightfully equip to describe my vision. My husband ended up finding Laura on google.
I don’t know how many people we’ve told, but we can whole-heartedly say that Laura made our wedding. She’s young, gifted, personable, and most importantly, inspiring. She has an indescribable characteristic of making wedding photos “not awkward.”
Our engagement and wedding photos are jaw dropping with creativity. She amalgamates tradition with a true love of nature. After a two year journey, we can honestly say that Laura is not only our wedding photographer, but also our friend.
Cheers!
I don't even know where to start with this one but I think the best way is to say that I did a LOT of research before choosing a photographer. My husband and I have very busy work schedules, so the first thing that struck me about Laura was her responsiveness, enthusiasm AND personalization through all of her e-mails to me during the vetting process. After reviewing her work and portfolio, I knew that this was the way we were going to go. I don't think I've ever been so happy with a single decision and the result as I was with my wedding photographs by Laura. From the time that we had our first Skype meeting, to our awkward (but not so awkward thanks to Laura keeping us calm and laughing) engagement shoot, to little gifts and surprises in the mail leading up to the day...and finally, all the way down to sweating off half of my body weight at my 105 degree wedding two weeks ago and once again, Laura keeping everyone smiling, keeping the ball rolling - being enthusiastic and professional each step of the way; there is just so much I can say about this photographer. My husband and I come from an incredibly complex family (a modern family if you will; divorces, deaths, step parents, almost step parents, half siblings) - you name it and we've got it, and Laura knew everyones name like rapid fire, everyones connections to who, and then some. Every single person involved in our family shots could not stop complimenting how on the ball she was. She felt like family that day! Seriously impressive. I think the crux of what I'm trying to say really lies in her work and that's where I fall short of the perfect words. If you're looking for a photographer to truly capture your essence as a couple -- not just the standard wedding portraits staring out of windows and gazing into the distance with your husband; but TRULY capturing the beauty that is your individual relationship (whatever that may be)...hire Laura. I have received countless complements on our wedding photographs from those who have seen them; specifically on how perfectly she was able to capture who we are as a couple and exactly what makes us unique. I will never be able to thank her enough for that. AND she did all of this in 105 degree heat as I was about to throw in the towel and skip wedding party portraits all together :) She was personal, she was fun, and she was always professional. Laura, you are the best. Everyone reading this - don't think twice, just hire her for your wedding. You will not be disappointed!! <3 Brianna & Mike Davin
The best decision I made during wedding planning was hiring Laura Lee as our wedding photographer. It’s hard to know where to start with this review because there is so much I can say about why you should hire her.
She is hands down, the most enthusiastic person I have ever met and she truly loves what she does. She was born to be a wedding photographer and she has the kind of energy you want and need around you on your wedding day. I never thought I would be stressed or overwhelmed on my wedding, but a lot of things didn’t go to plan and with the 100 degree heat I was starting to lose it. Laura Lee showed up to our hotel with her smile and calming vibes and she just magically fixed everything. My friend burned her leg while steaming bridesmaids dresses and Laura jumped right in as if she was a paramedic and helped her deal with the situation, while downplaying it to me so I wouldn’t freak out. When we realized the rhinestones on my shoes were snagging the tulle on my dress- she took her shoes off and gave them to me. When my veil fell into the lake for a minute during photos, she helped me get it out and reassured me it was no big deal. When sticks and twigs got stuck into the tulle of my dress she laughed and helped me fix it. She eased my worries and made me feel like everything was going to be perfect. I think without her, I would have had a panic attack. (Seriously)
These things might not seem important and have nothing to do with photography but these are the qualities you want in the person who photographs your wedding day. You want someone who is calm and attentive, someone who helps you before you realize you need help and someone who can bring you back down to earth and laugh off the nerves.
Laura’s photos speak for themselves; they capture her client’s personalities and love-every one of her blog posts gives me the feels. She is so happy and has the bubbliest personality that no matter what- your photos will come out incredible.
On top of everything I’ve said above, Laura acts and feels like a friend. You literally feel like you are hanging out with a BFF the whole time you are with her. That definitely contributes to the quality of her photos because you are truly, 100% yourself in her presence. We wish we could hang out with Laura everyday because through this process we feel so much love and happiness towards her and when she is around everything feels better.
Laura is hands down, no arguments, no contests, the absolute BEST photographer you could possibly ask for. If you are still looking or wondering what to do, then look no further because Laura Lee Photography is who you need to book!
My husband Steven and I set out to find vendors who we felt comfortable with, connected with, and had a super positive and happy vibe because it was essential to us to be surrounded by this energy and this type of person on the most important day of our lives. We so fortunately came across Laura at the recommendation of another photographer (which clearly showed that she was reputable right off the bat), and after having a laid back FaceTime conversation with Laura, we knew she was the one based on how genuine, kind, and knowledgable she was.
From our incredible engagement shoot in which Laura broke right through our shyness to capture the most stunning, breath taking pictures, all the way to crying along with us at our first look, she was beyond professional and treated us more like friends than clients. She truly cares about what she does, and she is not simply a wedding photographer, but an incredible artist who has the ability to capture the most fleeting moments, raw emotion, and pure magic. She took time and care to really get to know Steven and I, and made each experience we had with her totally personalized and special. She is thorough, detailed, experienced, and incredibly knowledgable about all aspects of wedding planning, and even provided a timeline for the wedding day. (This was a complete savior as the timeline for the wedding day ended up being the most complicated thing to figure out.)
On our wedding day, she was incredibly patient working with our bridal party and family members. Taking each small change in schedule in stride, and truly keeping the whole day on track. She even gave me her flip flops when I lost feeling in my toes from wearing my heels for too long! As a total novice at planning weddings, and someone who did it without the help of a professional planner, I never realized how important the influence of the photographer would be on the day of the wedding. Laura is so experienced at dealing with any given situation, and is willing and ready to jump in to help however she can. She kept us on schedule even when things happened out of order or unexpectedly, and most of all she treated everyone with the utmost kindness, patience, and respect.
Laura is truly the best of the best, and I am so incredibly thankful that we were able to have her with us through the most important time in our life to date. As I said before, look no further. Laura Lee Photography is the woman for the job! You will not find a better person to capture the most important and transformative time in your life!
My husband Craig and I struck gold when we found Laura Lee Photography. It was such an amazing find and cannot express how happy we are to have found such an amazing talent!! The minute I saw Laura’s work I knew we had to meet her. I told my husband about my find and he could totally see how excited I was. I immediately emailed Laura and her prompt response was well appreciated. Going out of the country that evening did not stop Laura from reaching out to us. Our email conversation went so well I honestly felt like we had known each other forever. She made me feel so comfortable and that was enough for my husband to hear. After speaking with Laura via Skype, which I thought was really cool =P, Craig and I reviewed the information she provided us, reflected on how well our conversation went and appreciated her honesty about the whole process. We loved hearing about Laura's story, which to us showed her true passion for her work; sharing in a couple’s most happy time in their relationship. This was one of the many reasons why Craig and I knew Laura was the perfect fit as our wedding photographer.
We truly had the BEST time during our engagement session and on our wedding day! We would not trade it for the world!!! Our family and friends fell in love with Laura and her boyfriend Scott at our wedding just as fast as we did. Sharing our photos with our friends and family, hearing how they adored our photos and could clearly see how much we loved each other through our photos was a true gift that my husband and I will cherish forever. Laura goes above and beyond her call of duty as a wedding photographer. Not only do we love how she captured our story, but her genuine loving nature and need to connect with her clients is so heartwarming. Laura’s personal touches are truly appreciated! We are super excited to share it all with our family as it grows. Craig & I are grateful for our wedding experience with Laura & Scott. We look forward to working with you in the future =).
From the first time fiancé and I spoke with Laura, we knew we had found our wedding photographer. Her passion for photographer is immediately obvious and she also has the knowledge and skills to back it up. In having Laura as our photographer, it feels like we also have are own personal wedding expert! She is always happy to offer advice no anything from planning the wedding day timeline to choosing colors that will really shine on camera. I am so grateful to have her during the planning process !
We had our engagement session with Laura recently and the experience was an absolute pleasure. My fiancé and I felt like we were going to be big goofballs on camera and instead of trying to make us pose and be stiff, Laura made us feel totally comfortable being ourselves. We had been a little worried about being in front of the camera, but Laura made it so fun! My fiancé and I couldn't believe how easy and relaxed we felt throughout the shoot.
I cannot recommend Laura highly enough- my expectations have been exceeded in every way!
My fiance Joe and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! We recently took our engagement photos with Laura and it was completely perfect. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and made the whole process so easy. She's not only our photographer, but also a wedding planner! She has done so many weddings and knows what works and what doesn't. She is always thinking about what we would want and suggests a plan that would work best with our day. We are very much looking forward to her shooting our wedding day!! Thank you Laura!!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Laura Lee Photography. Laura is easy to work with, down to earth and, personable. What I love the most about her work is that she captures the emotions in her images. She tells her clients' stories through her pictures. My wedding photos are full of smiles, laugher, love, joy and happy tears. My husband and I love the outdoors so we asked Laura to travel to the Adirondacks with us for our engagement session. We did a shoot on the top Whiteface Mountain, canoeing on Lake Placid, and standing in the Ausable River. Laura is an extremely talented photographer, she is adventurous, and provides the best wedding photography experience. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
There is no higher praise I could give to Laura Lee Photography. Laura is not only a talented photographer, but her unique sense of style and beautiful personality shine through in her work making it truly special. In trying to fit wedding planning into our crazy busy lives, it is a great relief to work with such an accommodating vendor with whom we both have great trust in.
We recently had our engagement photos taken and the pictures are fantastic! More than the pictures themselves, I have to admit how surprised I was about the experience. I went from thinking it was an "unnecessary but cute" idea... to insisting all of my engaged friends do it. Interacting with Laura at our EPS really helped my fiance and I overcome our fear of "photo awkwardness" and we both ended up having a lot of fun!. All in all, it was an irreplaceable experience and I am very excited for our my wedding day!
Laura was recommended to us by 2 of my fiancée’s college friends. And we are so glad she was! When I looked up her blog and saw her photos I knew I had to have Laura as our photographer. Laura was so accommodating and so easy to work with. She did our engagement shoot one weekend morning as my fiancée and I were overwhelmed with work. As a person who does not feel very photogenic Laura made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She had a quick turn around time sending us our full album in a couple weeks. Our friends and family keep telling us how much they love our photos and how great we look in them…all thanks to Laura! We are so excited to have her photograph our wedding!
Finding a photographer is no easy task. Once you start researching them you realize about 98% of them all start looking and sounding pretty much the same. In this situation, sometimes word of mouth is the only answer. Laura was recommended to me from a friend that I work with. I went home and researched her work and thought there was a uniqueness about it. Not to mention she is young and very motivated and very involved on the "current" wedding trends etc. Once I reached out to Laura I instantly decided she was the one I wanted to go with. Two things to consider: anyone that plays a key aspect in your wedding should be easy to correspond with. Also, there should always be a second shooter at a wedding. I was recently in a wedding where they had a great photographer... but no second shooter. I felt there was a whole aspect of the wedding day that was missed. Laura picked an excellent second shooting to help her caption our wedding day, my husband also really enjoyed working with her (as she was with the guys in the morning). Laura also worked well together with my videographer (Willow Tree Films). I was nervous about being torn in two different directions but it did not feel like that at all! Laura was also super easy to correspond with: scheduling time to chat late at night (after my long work day) or super quick texting her throughout the day to get an instant response. To say we were blown away when we saw our wedding pictures is an understatement. It was exactly what I was hoping for from the beginning. You put so much effort and energy into making this one day perfect the only thing you have to reminisce on is the photographs so don't you want them perfect also?! We will be looking back on these pictures for a lifetime to come and have Laura to thank for that! Thanks Laura!
My wife and I were very fortunate to find Laura when we did and couldn't be more thankful. Our experience with her was nothing but awesome and we not only gained amazing pictures from our engagement shoot and wedding, but also someone we trust referring to any of our friends that get engaged, as well.
Working with Laura is extremely laid back and comfortable and she is an absolute natural behind the lens. She kept the entire wedding party at ease throughout a very long day and even got the drunk ones to stay still and smile. If you need a photographer to capture the true feel and vibe of your wedding, Laura will deliver.
My husband and I got married back in September, and I have yet to have a day pass by when I don't look at the incredible photos that Laura took for us. I know people talk about how their photographers truly capture the moment, but Laura's photos have given me more than just that- she's given my husband and me the ability to relive the memories and the feelings that we felt all over again.
I could talk about Laura's photography skills all day, but her photos demonstrate that much more adequately that I can put into words. But what I will speak to, which I think is equally important, is how much fun working with Laura was. My husband and I are not exactly comfortable in front of the camera. We're awkward and don't always do well with hamming it up for a good shot. But with Laura, we didn't have to pretend at all. When we went on our engagement shoot, we were genuinely having a great time and laughing throughout the entire day (and I say "day" because Laura even went out for breakfast with us in the morning, and then we got drinks after the shoot. Who doesn't want that kind of bond with their photographer?). Laura got to know us, and so our pictures are true reflections of who we are.
I will forever highly recommend Laura to be your photographer. She's a talented, gifted professional and a joy to work with. Not to mention the fact that you'll not just wind up with wonderful photos, but a great friendship when all is said and done. Go with her!
I've known Laura for several years know and I have always admired her photography. When I heard she was doing professional engagement sessions and booking weddings I was thrilled! It was perfect timing for my fiancé and I and I knew I wanted to book her immediately! We had our engagement session over the summer and we met at Asbury Park. We had so much fun and it felt so natural with Laura behind the camera. I trust her completely and we were so thrilled with our shoot. Ed and I are looking forward to our wedding even more because we know what Laura is capable of and her work is nothing short of stunning, lovely, and breathtaking. She really knows how to capture the moments you didn't even know were happening.
My fiancé and I were recommended to Laura by a family member who had seen many of her pictures. From our first meeting we knew that we wanted Laura to be the photographer for our wedding. She is very down to earth, easy to talk to, and really knows her stuff. Laura has a strong passion and talent for photography that comes across in her pictures. Our engagement session was so much fun and she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera that we (I) quickly shed our (my) uncomfortable awkwardness right away. Our wedding is in July and I feel so at ease knowing that Laura will be shooting our wedding!
When we started planning our wedding finding a photographer was not even a question! Laura Lee Photography is the best one and i wouldn't have chosen anyone else! Being friends with her my whole life and seeing all of her incredible pictures she has taken over the years I knew she would be the one to photograph my wedding. She did an AMAZING job! She knew the style of my wedding and captured it perfectly! Thank you Laura for being my photographer and for being one of my best friends! love you!
When my fiancee and I first got engaged we decided to tackle wedding planning head on and jumped into some poor decisions regarding vendors. After our first engagement shoot with another photographer I quickly realized what I wanted in a photographer and what my style was and he was not it. Thankfully, our very good friends were getting married at the same time and had engagement photos done that we absolutely fell in love with and had to know to who their photographer was. As luck would have it, it was Laura Lee! We can't say enough good things about her from our first meeting to our engagement shoot and she is even helping me with starting my own business! Laura Lee is professional and caring and will work with you to make sure your wedding day will be nothing but perfect. My wedding is in June and I can not be more excited for the pictures. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
-Madison and Derek :-)
A close friend suggested Laura to my fiancé and I after talking about finding a photographer to do our engagement shoot. After checking out her Facebook page and website, we instantly fell in love with her style. Her portfolio was full of natural and gorgeous shots. You can literally feel the love in each picture!
After reaching out to her, we knew she was right for us. She was so flexible and easy to work with. Pit was tricky finding a weekend that worked for me with my crazy work schedule, but fate worked its magic and we ended up being in our college town for homecoming the same weekend Laura was in town for a wedding and the same day of our fourth anniversary! It was so special to us.
The day of our shoot was foggy and cold. I was so worried about how the photos would turn out, but the enthusiasm Laura had about shooting in the foggy conditions made me relax. She had such creative ideas for poses and an eye for spots to take the pictures that I never would have thought of. I mean really, who would think that taking pictures on a riverbank with a wall of dense fog would be the most magical thing ever? We felt so comfortable with her and after the shoot we couldn't wait to see how all the pictures turned out! They came out gorgeous!! Her talent is genuine and I highly recommend her service to every bride-to-be.
