Wedding Experience

Purposeful & Passionate photography

The Laurel Lane

Wedding days are a magical whirlwind of emotions, delicate florals, dreamy lace, and pure swoon-worthy bliss. In my eyes, there is nothing more beautiful and I savor in documenting each and every piece. When time stands still as you finally see the love of your life from the opposite end of the aisle and your happy tears start to flow, I will be there to capture it all.

My promise to my couples is to always show up for them with a heart full of love and excitement ready to document their special day like they're the most important people in the world. Because, to me, to their family and friends, and to each other, they are. I promise to never stop pursuing my passion for storytelling and to cast them in only the most iconic of light.

With the Laurel Lane Wedding Experience, you are receiving so much more than wedding photos. You'll have an optimistic friend by your side and experience personalized and passionate care from day one. You'll feel confident in knowing your vison is understood and your love will be seen and celebrated for how precious it truly is.

The Process

01. Hey there & welcome

From the moment your inquiry hits my inbox and I discover that I have your wedding date available, it's time to get this party started!
Keep an eye out for a follow up email with approximately twenty exclamation points as I introduce myself and let you know just how excited I am that you're considering bringing me along on your journey! Feel free to ask me anything and tell me about your love story so far.


02. Pop the Bubbly 

So it's official, you want me to be your wedding photographer/personal hype girl! I love to meet with my couples over coffee or Zoom to "break the ice" and really get to know each other! We're going to be spending a lot of time together on your wedding day and it is SO important to start stirring up all the good vibes. I want to know all the things and you can ask me all the questions!

03. Hurry Up and Wait 

Your wedding date is on my calendar, and sometimes the countdown can feel so long, but it will be here before you know it!
While we wait for the big day, we'll shoot your engagement session, you'll receive some cute little surprises, and I'll be there along the way to help you plan your ideal timeline. I love to serve my clients, and I'm just a quick text or phone call away when you need a sounding board or friendly listening ear!

I'm here to capture your wedding in a way that showcases your love story and all the heart and soul you put into making your day so special. I'll also make sure you drink enough water, keep things on track, and maybe even bust out a few dance moves at your reception!
