the experience
A real connection with your photographer is the secret to capturing those genuine, beautiful moments. For me, it’s all about collaboration—making sure you feel at ease so your true story shines through. I love getting to know each couple’s unique vibe and weaving it into my art.
As one of Southern California's top wedding photographers, my passion for storytelling has taken me around the world, turning love stories into unforgettable photographs wherever they unfold.
Authentic, Timeless,
Effortlessly Chic.
A litttle more about me!
I am a wedding photographer giving my clients a luxury experience, and am passionate about capturing timeless and authentic moments. With over 13 years of experience in the wedding industry and a lifelong love for photography, I am based in the heart of Southern California but travel worldwide, specializing in destination weddings. I believe every wedding is as unique as the couple it celebrates, and it’s truly an honor to document such an important day.
For couples looking to include video in their celebration, I work alongside my daughter and son-in-law to offer wedding photography and videography packages, ensuring your wedding day is beautifully documented and preserved.

Joe and Alexis expressed their heartfelt gratitude, emphasizing the connection we built. Alexis shares, 'Laura, we are very grateful to have met you and for your integral role in our day.' She fondly remembers a moment when I brought hot chocolate and shared a taxi ride, assuring them they were in good hands. It's these personal gestures and unwavering care that define the essence of our work.

We chose Laura to capture our wedding day, and honestly, it was one of the best decisions we made. Her style of photography is simply gorgeous, lively and she definitely goes for the “vibe” or personality of the couple. Also, she is incredibly welcoming and makes you feel super comfortable! Especially for someone who may not be used to having their photo professionally taken. Our whole experience, from booking to the engagement shoot to the wedding and receiving our photos could not have been ANY better. We cherish our wedding photos and honestly admire how well she captured our personalities and emotions.
It was one of the best decisions we made.

From the bottom of my heart, you must have Laura as your photographer! She truly made our day. Not only are the photos incredible but she has the kindest heart. We explored NYC together and she not only made the effort to get to know us but she also went above and beyond to ensure the photos turned out perfectly! Her effort and how much she cares is unlike any photographer you will come across. Highly recommend Laura!
Absolutely beautiful photos created by the most thoughtful and genuine photographer!
