Laurel Mountain Photography

artfelt smile, tear, and kiss is priceless to my husband and I. I get goosebumps each time I open my wedding album! We hired Laurel Mountain Photography to take our engagement photos after several word-of-mouth referrals, and after receiving the proofs, there was no question who we were hiring to photograph our wedding day! We knew we had professionals that we could trust to document all of the intricate details we would want to remember forever. The photographers were a dream from the start - they showed initiative by contacting me to schedule a meeting where we discussed my wedding vision, my theme, a shot list, possible locations, and the day's timeframe. On the big day, they were extremely flexible, agreeing to photograph myself, my mother, and the bridesmaids during our hair appointments and make up appointments. They also photographed my groom, my father, and the groomsmen/ring bearer putting on their jackets and straightening their ties before the ceremony. Those pictures are particularly special to me. During the ceremony, photographs afterwards, and reception, Laurel Mountain Photography was professional, efficient, and most importantly, respectful of my timeframe and shot requests. Thanks to them, my wedding day ran smoothly - we arrived where we were supposed to be at the right time, and our guests did not have to spend their evening waiting for us to arrive! Even though I did not wish to spend several hours after the ceremony taking pictures, the photographs that I received were breathtaking. The photographers recommended my new husband and I stepping outside for a few minutes during the reception, and those intimate nighttime moments between he and I are some of my very favorites. When choosing photographers for your wedding, just consider this - anyone can take a picture (including my 2-year old nephew!). But the key is to find someone who is talented, considerate, and reliable who will take the time to know you and your fiancé as a couple to ensure that the most special moments are captured. Laurel Mountain Photography did this for my husband and I, and we couldn't be more grateful for them!

ade the experience that much easier! Will definitely recommend them to my friends who have upcoming weddings!

pose for each photo. Being told what to do in photos takes SO much pressure off of you. Due to impacts of Covid-19, we were looking for a quick turn around of engagement photos - we got them in less than a week! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

children in our bridal party and generally made the day fun and relaxed for everyone involved. Our ceremony pictures are incredibly beautiful and meaningful and were handled in such a way that the sanctity of the sacrament was never disrupted. The bridal party and family photos are perfect and capture the personalities of those involved for sure! The pictures of the two of us are romantic and unique (and we had fun taking them too)! There are some really cute and funny moments captured at our reception, and, thinking back on the evening, we didn't even know that Anastasia and John were there. They handled things so subtlety that we never felt that our time together and with family and friends was disrupted in any way. We have some amazing memories caught on film, and I am particularly thankful for those memories now because we lost my mom suddenly just a few months after our wedding. She was so happy throughout the day, and I love looking back to see her joy so perfectly captured in our wedding photos. Thank you so much! We love looking through our pictures, and you made it nearly impossible to select a reasonable number of favorites (we'll figure it out though)!

tly.

n person before the wedding. She had great pose ideas, was experienced in taking photos at our venue, and made sure that we got those treasured golden hour photos. Her price was extremely reasonable with all that she provided us, and she was prompt in delivering our full album - in just over two weeks I had all of our proofs. I love looking at our pictures. Definitely recommend Laurel Mountain Photography!

disappointed!

it easy for all the soon to be brides out there. Here are just a few reasons you need Anastasia and Mark to shoot your wedding: 1) Anastasia was always available for my seemingly endless list of questions and responded promptly. She also met with me several times to talk through every detail, including meeting me for a tour of the venue and helping to map out a list of locations for our creative session. Planning a wedding can be stressful, especially when trying to stick to a budget. Anastasia was always up front and honest about what would suit my needs best and didn't try to push me toward a higher priced package. 2) My husband and I were on a very tight schedule and had a limited amount of time between the end of the ceremony and the start of our reception. We didn't do a first look or any bridal photos prior to the ceremony so we had to do all our creative photos in addition to the more formal family photos within a tight window. Mark and Anastasia were AMAZING at keeping everything on track and ensuring we stayed on schedule. Rounding up two large families for photos is not an easy task but they were the perfect combination of firm yet polite. I always joke that my life is a real life 27 dresses. I've been in so many weddings and, as a result, have encountered so many wedding photographers and Mark and Anastasia are by far the easiest people to work with. They bring an element of calm to the day that every bride needs. They've shot the weddings of 3 of my best friends as well and they've all been blown away by the final product. 3) Finally, and most importantly, our wedding photos are out of this world. I honestly cannot even begin to describe how beautiful they are. I've had people reach out to me asking if these photos appeared in a bridal magazine. This is not due to any supermodel good looks of mine, believe me! This is all because of the unparalleled talent of Anastasia and Mark. Their ability to capture beauty in the most ordinary things is astounding and their attention to detail brings perfection to every single photo. Not to mention, our photos were ready in just 2 weeks! My husband and I are still trying to decide which 11x14 we'd like printed because it's impossible to pick just 1 favorite. Picking the right photographer is one of the most important wedding decisions you'll make. Choosing Laurel Mountain Photography is the right choice so stop wasting valuable hours comparing photographers and book them! You'll be so happy you did. P.S. - I also did a boudoir shoot with Anastasia prior to the wedding and she made me feel so relaxed and the photos turned out beautiful.

anted. I was that person that had a list of pictures and she made sure that she carried it with her throughout the wedding day. Her attention to detail the day of was great and she fit right in with everyone at the wedding. Our photos were beyond what we expected with the perfect lighting and edits. I would refer Anastasia and team at LMP to anyone. Thanks again for capturing a day we will never forget and memories that we can look back on for years to come!

al photos I wanted and gave them some pictures to go off of and they made it perfect. Highly recommend!

ur engagement photos turned out. They always make us feel so comfortable and tell us exactly how to pose or what to change to make the shot look great. They were also aware of where to go to get great shots at the resort our wedding was held at which made it much less stressful on us. Thanks again!

re so great to work with for our wedding pictures and took some awesome shots. They were also so willing and engaged when we took pictures with our dog and cat and made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole day. Our photos are so special and we have one of kind shots to remember our perfect day for a lifetime and we have Anastasia and Mark to thank! I highly recommend LMP services to everyone!

, the reception details, and the one of a kind dance moves were all captured perfectly and I can't thank LMP enough! I get teary eyed looking through the photos, because I can hardly believe my dream of a wedding came true, and I will have the photos as keepsakes forever. Anastasia is absolutely incredible to work with, and is extremely accommodating and personal in order to make sure your wedding day is literally pictured perfectly. She met us half way prior to our wedding day in order to meet and discuss our vision and picture requests, and on the day of she exceeded our expectations! On the day of the wedding Anastasia and John came to Seven Springs where our wedding took place and were with us all day from makeup and hair, first look, ceremony, and reception. They even pulled us out of our reception to take a "late night shot" which is one of my greatest memories of the night. I would recommend LMP to anyone that would like perfect pictures from their perfect day! I can't wait to frame some and make an album (if I can even narrow it down!)

would recommend Laurel Mountain Photography—you won’t be disappointed!!

of different challenges that day such as rain and shuttle problems. We received our photographs exactly two weeks after our October 2018 wedding, and I can honestly say that I love each and every one of them tremendously! I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer.

ure to work with and worked through a number of unexpected challenges (rain, shuttle issues, etc.) without a hitch. The pictures themselves were wonderful and all were provided within just two weeks after the wedding. We couldn't have asked for more and would recommend them for any occasion!

ever be able to choose which ones I want printed. The pictures are beautiful and our experience was amazing.

easy to work with and friendly - and PROFESSIONAL! I would never let a friend hire anyone else.

were dedicated to making the photos comfortable for us vs forming us into a cookie cutter wedding photo stance. They provided guidance in positioning but insisted to do what is most comfortable throughout the day. In addition, it was clear they came prepared which I always appreciate. They had a plan in place which allowed us to capture all our loved ones in a very quick amount of time. They gave us the option to capture the day however we wanted but provided additional guindqnce to ensure the photos kept moving and no part of the day was wasted. I would highly recommend Laurel Mountain Photography to family and friends. Heck they were so good I would tell a few strangers while I’m at it. Top notch photo quality and customer service which is why they are the best in the industry.

were so happy to have them there on our day!
