Investment
I have created several options based off of the most requested coverage. However, everyone's plans are unique so let's talk over what you're cookin' up and customize a package to your needs.
Now Booking
After shooting weddings for a decade, I'm now solely shooting elopements, intimate gatherings and small, destination weddings. I'm an easy going gal and I gravitate towards non traditional game plans. I'm always down to hike out to a breathtaking overlook, fly around the world to meet you at your dream destination or meet up at your backyard bash.
I'm based in Santa Fe, New Mexico & up and down the West Coast.
Happy to jump on a plane or hit the road to meet you for a shoot.
My style is a blend of documentary and artistry.
I am a moment seeker and let things unfold naturally.
I am honored to be a storyteller and tell your story authentically.
I want you to feel something in your images and for that feeling to transcend generations.
I'm drawn to wild in love, non traditional folks who like to have a good time.
We might end up cracking open a beer or going on a road trip together.
Let's collaborate!

I find so much inspiration in new places and I get high off adventure. Prices don't spike to shoot across the globe. Generally, I just need tickets, lodging and a rental car or arranged transportation. Getting married in Washington State? That's where I grew up and I waive transportation and lodging (my Momma lets me crash with her).
If your elopement or small, destination wedding is on my bucket list, I offer discounted rates.
I've been daydreaming about...
Alaska, Maine, Kauai, Costa Rica, Norway, Peru, France, Argentina, Japan...the list goes on!
FAQ
I love shooting on a blend of 35mm and digital. You can add film to any package or session. I’ve always been drawn to the grain and nostalgia of film. I welcome the “imperfections” of 35mm- the occasional light leak, grainy images, surprising colors. That’s why I get stoked to pair it with digital which is predictable, sharp and allows me to shoot fleeting moments on the fly. The balance of the two checks every box.
Do you shoot on film?
Before booking, I really value having a mutual connection with my couples. You’ve checked out my portfolio, we’ve emailed back and forth and maybe even grabbed coffee together. You’re feeling seen, when you look through my work, and excited to collaborate. That’s always the right foot to start out on. You have so many options in photographers and finding that connection and trust is the magic ingredient for your experience and for the photos. I love when couples feel like I could be one of their friends because that all goes into the good vibes of your photos & your wedding day! Once you’re ready to make it official, I send over the contract and when it’s returned with the deposit (half the amount)- you’ve booked your date!
How do we book?
Once your photos are selected and edited, I create a private, online gallery for you. From there you can login, share with friends and fam, order top quality prints and download the high resolution images. It’s as easy as pie.
How do we get our photos?
"I've told Laura at least 5 times that I want her to follow me around for the rest of my life and photograph every special moment for forever! Laura photographed our destination wedding in Croatia and she did an absolutely phenomenal job. She is kind, organized, authentic, reliable, calm, fun, and everything in-between. Her photography style is raw and genuine and she captures things with such an artistic perspective. Could not recommend anyone more."
