Hey there, I'm Laura

 

(She/her)

With 14 years of experience behind the lens, my style is a fusion of honest documentary storytelling with a bold editorial flair. Perfect for couples who want their wedding to feel as powerful in photos as it did in real life.


I'm based in the Midlands but cover the UK & beyond and I am very passionate about creating a safe, inclusive space where every couple feels truly seen and celebrated!


Whilst wedding photography is my main line of work I also work in commercial/product photography, boudoir, events and lifestyle.

Testimonials
A moody portrait captures an intimate moment between two people in vintage-inspired clothing.

"I cannot express how absolutely phenomenal Laura has been! She full on clambered across slippery rocks and submerged herself in freezing water just to get the shot. She’s so laid back and relaxing to be around (which was such a relief because I’m so socially awkward and nervous) but is clearly very focus behind the scenes working hard at editing to perfect absolutely everything. I would 100% recommend her to absolutely everyone. She’s like sunshine in human form."

Emma & Peter

A silhouetted wedding couple shares a tender moment backlit by a window.

"Laura was amazing from start to finish. My husband and I always felt confident in her abilities to deliver a high standard of work. On the day, Laura truly went above and beyond for us. By the time I got my wedding dress on, I felt Laura was part of my bridal party. To say Laura saved the day would be an understatement as she took on the wedding coordinator job as our day organiser flaked out. An outstanding professional, an extremely talented photographer and a truly wonderful person."

Julia & Jordan

A joyful wedding moment captured against a brick wall background.

"We have had such an amazing experience with Laura from start to finish. We found her through a great recommendation, after our initial phone call, we knew that she was the perfect fit for our wedding day. I personally am a huge lover of the fantasy world and wanted someone who would really be able to capture the magic of our day whilst still delivering her gothic signature style.  If you want someone who is passionate about creating art from your day and capturing your aesthetics, call Laura now!"

Ki & Alan

Testimonials

"Such a brilliant photographer to work with, we couldn’t recommend anyone better for the job especially because of the alternative vibe we were looking for. She has such a bubbly personality and goes above and beyond to getting the best shots for us, even if it means that she risks her own legs to stinging nettles. She will also intervene with venue organisers when they haven’t delivered the much needed knife for cake cutting (even when it was behind the bar). Her patience and understanding of the disabilities put my bride at ease and made it all the more special to get the greatest shots."

Jess & Jamie

"Laura was amazing! From the first video call we knew she would be the perfect photographer for us. Not only was her beautiful dark romantic art style exactly what we had in mind but she helped put us at ease from the start. We're both not totally comfortable being in front of the camera but she directed us so well when needed and we had such a great time taking our couples portraits and pictures with our wedding party (highly recommend adding some smoke bombs to your pictures!) All the small detailed moments she caught so naturally were beautiful too. Laura is so kind and talented and an asset to have with you on your big day!"

Deb & Gary

"Wow! What can I say and where do I start? Laura is one of a kind and you will absolutely struggle to find a photographer like her. I booked her for a shoot after my relationship broke down before my wedding day and we decided to turn in back into an empowering day where I was able to claim back my power and used my stunning dress to create some stunning imagery! I cannot recommend her enough and I will absolutely be booking her time and time again without hesitation!"

Pandora

Testimonials


"I cannot stress how grateful I am that we booked Laura for our wedding! The whole process was so easy, amazingly flexible and understanding and really helped calm me down. Really understood the vibe we wanted and got it absolutely perfect. The photos themselves were absolutely stunning. Couldn't recommend enough!!"

Ellie & Tom

"Thoroughly professional, Laura made all of us in the shoot feel at ease and we really enjoyed ourselves. She really listened to what we wanted and helped to create images to suit what we wanted. Communication was great, and I would have no problem recommending her to anybody.


Plus the photos were amazing!"

Lauren

Got the photos all edited and sent out to us so much faster than I’d anticipated and all the shots are gorgeous. Fantastic service for a very reasonable rate. We will be booking Laura again!"

"Laura is so lovely and perfectly captured the look we wanted for our Gothic Wedding, particularly in our couples Portraits. She made the whole process super easy and always felt comfortable. Would recommend her to anyone who is looking for this style of photography."

Courtney & Sean

Intimate close-up portrait of couple in warm moody lighting.

"Calling Laura a photographer would be an extreme understatement. She is nothing short of a visionary. From the moment we first got in touch, to the weeks building up to the wedding, and the day itself - her ideas where exactly what we wanted and hoped for. We are so pleased with our photo's and have multiple on display around our home now. Perfection doesn't even cover it."

FAQ's

 

Do you travel?

Yes! I travel across the UK and beyond.

Check out my upcoming events and locations to find out where I'll be next!

Can I use the photos for social media and marketing materials?

This depends on the licence included with your booking.

Weddings are delivered with a personal usage licence, allowing you to share your images freely on social media and for personal use. If you require images for commercial purposes, such as advertising, branding, or resale, an additional commercial licence may be required. I'm happy to discuss this in more detail based on your specific needs.

For branding/commercial shoot's all of this is discussed in advance to find out what suits your needs!

What is your process for working with brands?

This will largely depend on the needs of your shoot!

If you're looking to create content for your brand but aren’t quite sure on the creative direction yet, I can support you with mood boards and concept planning to help shape your vision. If you already have a clear idea, we’ll jump straight into bringing it to life.

The initial consultation is completely free, and once you're booked in, you'll have access to upto 3 planning sessions to get everything just right.

Are the travel expenses included in your packages or covered additionally?

Travel within 25 miles of B60 is included in all packages.

For locations beyond this radius, travel is charged at £0.50 per mile to cover fuel and time. I’ll always confirm any additional costs during our initial consultation so there are no surprises.

Destination Weddings will be worked out accordingly.

How many photographers will be there at the wedding?

All packages include one photographer, myself.

I work solo to provide a consistent, personalised experience. However, if you'd like a second photographer for wider coverage, this can be arranged at an additional cost. Pricing varies based on the availability of trusted professionals whose style complements the aesthetic you're after.

All images, whether captured by me or a second shooter, are carefully edited by me to ensure a cohesive final gallery. That said, depending on which second photographer joins us, you may be lucky enough to receive an additional gallery in their unique style as a bonus treat.

How long does it take to get all the photos?

Averagely it takes me 6-8 weeks to edit all the photos and send them to you. Sometimes this can be more or less depending on the season. I recommend 12 weeks during peak seasons. However, you will be informed about the timing in advance.
