For the ones who still believe in magic

Minneapolis Wedding Photographer

Your wedding is about your love, your people and the stories that broughT you together

You want to remember your day with beautiful photographs! Celebrating with your favorite people, fully present in the moments you've spent months dreaming up, and creating memories you'll carry with you for the rest of your life.

The laughter during dinner. Holding hands through the heartfelt speeches. The hugs that last a little longer. The friends you haven't seen in years.
The quiet moments in between and the surprises you never saw coming.

I want s to make sure you have space for all of it. I'll guide you when you need it, step back when you don't, and create photographs that feel natural, honest, and true to your experience.

Rooted in connection. Refined in style.  

Your wedding is about your love, your people and the stories that broughT you together

 The element of capturing the magic so you are transported to that time and place

Testimonials

All of the photos reflect the love.

Laura went above and beyond to capture our wedding day. We had a few special requests, like some photos with our dog and photos of each table, and she took these in stride. We wanted the focus of the photography to be on our families, since we are rarely in one place at one time, and I feel like she succeeded in this 100% - all of the photos reflect the love and importance of family togetherness.

Super creative and fun

Laura was so wonderful as the photographer for our wedding. She made us both feel so comfortable and made everything feel as natural as possible. Laura is super creative and fun to be around. She made my wedding day better and hiring her was the best decision I made for my wedding day - besides saying I do to my groom!

AN ENTRY

from my journal

January 15, 2001

When a study-abroad trip to Costa Rica leads to love and creating a family...

hola, I am Laura.

Hola, I am Laura.

I'm Laura, a Minneapolis-based wedding photographer documenting weddings throughout the Midwest and sometimes, where I grew up, in the sunny Costa Rica.
I am all about big hugs, deep talks, real love stories and the ocassional dance parties.

After more than ten years, I’m still just as inspired by the connections and stories I get invite into. I believe in documenting your wedding in a genuine and beautiful way, while also giving you the space to be fully present with the people you love most. 
The result will be a gallery that feels more like a time capsule of one of the most meaningful days of your life.

I'm here to help you remember all of it.
