Laurie was hands down the best choice I made when it came to my wedding. Photography-wise, her work speaks for itself. It is so creative, stunningly beautiful, and tells a lovely artistic story. The photos she took of my now husband and I for our engagement as well as our elopement will absolutely be among the most cherished photos of my life. And as far as being nervous and feeling awkward (like most prior to our shoot!), Laurie has a way of making you feel so comfortable, allows you to have fun, and makes it such a great experience. And on top of all that, Laurie for me really went SO above and beyond the normal duties of a photographer. Her wedding industry knowledge is bar-none, and I valued so much her opinion on everything from wedding outfits, to floral arrangements, timing details etc. She is extremely organized to a tee, responsive, and just a fun, cool chick to work with. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I'll start by saying how particular I was in the process of finding the perfect wedding photographer, and I can honestly say that Laurie STILL blew my expectations away! This was just in the engagement photoshoot alone, we haven't had our wedding yet and I am so excited to work with her again! She broke the ice and calmed our nerves immediately when the shoot began- she is so authentic, fun and kind. She made the process easy, and suggested every movement which was really helpful so we didn't feel or look awkward. Myself and my fiancé just about cried when we saw our first highlights which Laurie posted online THE NEXT DAY. She made us look better than we've ever seen ourselves in pictures before, we were feelin' ourselves lol Thanks again Laurie!!!

Throughout the whole engagement process Laurie was constantly checking in and excited for me on Instagram, and I always felt so calm knowing she would handle every detail. Come wedding day, Laurie ROCKED it. She arrived even a little bit early and instantly took charge and made the most of every moment we had. She also pivoted like a Queen when the timing didn’t work out (due to groomsmen) and I completely trusted her. She’s someone who just puts her clients first and it exudes in how she handles everything. All that to say, Laurie is incredibly talented and will deliver stunning wedding photos to you. She knows how to capture all the emotions from everyone there and use the gorgeous light. But not only that, she will keep you calm and centered all day and truly feel like your right hand person!

If I were to rank the decisions I made about my wedding in order of importance, first would be agreeing to marry my husband, but second would be hiring Laurie to photograph our wedding! She is BEYOND talented. I'm still convinced that her pictures are the result of sorcery. She is such an amazing person, she is so helpful, and she is the best hype woman! I received the BEST preview gallery within 48 hours of the wedding, and she continues to blow me away with her skills. If you hire her, be prepared to be a lifelong customer, because no one else will compare after working with Laurie!

Having Laurie as our wedding photographer was the BEST decision of our ENTIRE wedding! I seriously cannot recommend her enough to anyone who is looking for a photographer for any of the services she offers! Not only is she an easy going down to earth person who is so easy to vibe with and feel comfortable in front of but she is so AMAZINGLY talented at what she does. All the time and effort she puts into her clients and her work really shows and pays off! Our wedding day was thrown off from a multitude of things and it was very stressful being the bride. During these times Laurie just reeled everything in and made things flow and adapted to any situation quickly and efficiently and she was so professional about it all. It was such a relief to have her with us on our wedding day and our photos mean so much to us and we will forever be thankful for them! Thank you Laurie, we love you so much!

Wow! We cannot say enough wonderful things about Laurie - as a photographer and a person.We recently received our wedding photos, and the details and the moments she captured on the day are so appreciated. We get to relive our day over and over in her beautiful work. Laurie has such a distinct vision and passion, and it is seen in every photo. She loves what she does. She also brings such a great energy to the day. Both our engagement shoot and our wedding, she made us feel so special and at ease. That of course turns into gorgeous photos, and makes you also want to be her best friend!

"I couldn’t have asked for more perfect maternity pictures and I have only seen a sneak peek of them! I can’t wait to see the rest!!! Being pregnant can sometimes make you feel insecure, embarrassed, and I was also a bit shy because I’ve only had professional pictures taken once before! I was so self conscious about my body going into the shoot! But Laurie taught my husband and I how to pose and was so directive that she had us feeling like we’ve been modeling for years! My husband and I had so much fun at our shoot! Thank you so much Laurie! I couldn’t have asked for more perfect pictures!"

TL;DR: If Laurie is the first or the fiftieth wedding photographer you are looking at, LOOK. NO. FURTHER. I had talked to 9 different photographers before finally finding Laurie. Our quick 30-minute intro convo felt like I was catching up with a friend from high school. We booked her for an engagement shoot and our wedding within the week. My fiance was not super excited about the idea of engagement photos, but he had an absolute blast. Not to mention the pictures are STUNNNNNNNNNING. She is so friendly, easy going, committed to you being comfortable, and it shows in her photos. I can't say enough good things about her and can't wait for her to photograph our special day!

Choosing Laurie to shoot my wedding was easily one of the best decisions I’ve made. Her pictures speak for themselves… She is wildly talented at creating breathtaking images. However, beyond the GORGEOUS pictures, she created an entire experience that added so much to our wedding. A few weeks before my wedding, I randomly ran into her at my venue. She made the trip up to Menifee to scout out my venue and get an entire plan in place for where we would get the best shots on the big day! The day of she brought such a calming energy (which I needed), but also made it fun. I had so many friends and family say to me “I loved your photographer” or “Your photographer was so cool.” And she is. Laurie, I can’t thank you enough for making me feel like the most beautiful bride and adding so much to our wedding day!

Laurie was super friendly and made you feel very comfortable. The entire photoshoot we did was so much fun that by the end we were sad it was over. When our pictures were ready we immediately checked our email and absolutely fell in love with every single photo. Everyone of our friends and family were constantly asking us if we got married and who took our pictures because they were just breathtaking. She made our pictures look as if we just got married on the beach and it was exactly how we would’ve imagined it if we decided to do a beach wedding. Thank you so much Laurie Ashley!! :)

Literally sitting here at my laptop in tears after seeing my full gallery Laurie sent over tonight. Not only did she have several sneak peeks sent before I even boarded my plane to travel back home, I was left speechless & smiling ear to ear. This was the first time I've ever had a session with just my husband scheduled and I'm forever thankful we have these memories of us to cherish forever. I can't even look at them without tears of joy. She is a phenomenal person and artist and I guarantee you will love your images and hold onto them just like I am. Thank you Thank you Thank you Laurie Larson. I really can't say that enough. You my friend, are remarkable!
