I've loved storytelling for about as long as I can remember. My documentary style approach means I focus on capturing moments as they naturally unfold rather than staging or directing you. I aim to be a grounding, calming presence throughout your day. Weddings can be unpredictable, but I’m great at adapting and making things work smoothly as a solo shooter. Couples often describe me as a “fly on the wall” — present but unobtrusive — helping you stay fully immersed in the moments that matter.

I've worked in video production and marketing since 2014. I have experience in both technical and artistic industries as a director, cinematographer, editor, and photographer. I am the co-founder of Hothouse, a dance space in Minneapolis. There, I’ve developed our visual brand in photography, video, and design. I also run a small production studio in NE Minneapolis. Additionally, I’m the season dance photographer for Northrop Auditorium, and also work in live event production as a director. When it comes to your wedding, my documentary style approach means I focus on capturing moments as they naturally unfold rather than staging or directing you. I aim to be a grounding, calming presence throughout your day. Weddings can be unpredictable, but I’m great at adapting and making things work smoothly as a solo shooter.

Laura is the absolute best! She was recommended by our photographer and I am so glad we chose her to be our wedding videographer. We were looking for someone who could capture our day authentically and Laura did just that. She is professional, communicative, helpful with reminders, patient, and so understanding. We asked for a vision and Laura delivered. Thank you, Laura! We love how you captured our day!

I can’t say enough amazing things about Laura! Hands down the best money spent on a vendor for our wedding day. She is professional, kind, and SUPER talented. We were initially hesitant about spending money on a videographer, but the video of our special day is something we will cherish forever and are SO grateful to have. Laura has a gift, you will not regret choosing her for your day!

Booking Laura was one of the best decisions I made for our wedding. Not only was she professional and affordable, her work is stunning! I cannot recommend her enough. She is so nice and great to work with. She listens and manages to capture the "best" pieces of the day and when it all comes together it's something you will want to watch over and over. We are so happy to have this video for years to come to show our kids and family throughout the years. Thank you, Laura!

Hiring Laura was the best decision we made for our wedding! Laura was so easy to work with. She's genuine and warm and made us feel like our love story really mattered to her. On the day of the wedding, she was perfectly in sync with the schedule and also adaptable when things shifted and changed. Our wedding day was incredible but went by so fast. Having the gorgeous, candid and emotional video that Laura created for us helps us feel like we can go back to our day whenever we want. I've watched it at least a hundred times and notice something new every time. I cannot recommend her enough!

Book Laura now!! And yes, you need a videographer! Laura captured our day and our relationship so perfectly. Wedding pictures are wonderful but nothing can compare to watching your own wedding video after the big day. Your wedding day is a whirlwind and when you look back on the day most vendors won’t stand out unless they did something exceptional. Laura blew our expectations out of the water and I whole heartedly recommend her to all of my friends and family. She is pure gold and you won’t be disappointed!

Working with Laura was incredible, my husband Tyler and I could not imagine a more perfect way to capture the most amazing day of our lives. From the beginning we knew we could trust Laura and her vision, she created a wonderful masterpiece that was better then anything we could imagine. Time and time again we re-watch our wedding video in awe and burst with love that we can relive the day as often as we would like. Working with Laura and her documentation of our wedding is something we will cherish forever

When I read that 98% of bride’s biggest regret is not having a videographer, I decided I did not want to part of the 98%. I quickly looked to Laura, having seen her work.
Laura is the best type of videographer – she documents real moments throughout your wedding day. I never felt like I was doing anything “for the camera” – and in most cases, I didn’t even realize she was there.
The end result is a beautiful, natural reminder of our day. She captured exactly how it felt throughout our wedding day. We will treasure our wedding video forever. Each time I watch it, I have a new favorite moment she caught – my niece getting ready, popping champagne during hair and make-up, a quick kiss between almost husband and wife – we are so grateful that we had Laura. I’ve already recommended Laura to many of our newly engaged family and friends and urge that if you’re on the fence about hiring a videographer – do it – don’t be part of that 98%.
