About me and what it's like to hire a cinematic & Documentary style wedding photographer

Hi, I'm Laura: your French-American wedding photographer, art lover, avid traveler, and mother.

I am here to capture timeless emotions for you adventurous spirits. Allowing movement, authenticity, and drama to converge through my lens.

When we start this adventure, it won’t feel like a typical business transaction. I want to know who you are and what makes you feel alive, because that is the only way I can give you my best work and tell your story acurately. I approach each wedding and session differently, because no couple is the same and I want your wedding or session to reflect who you are as a person. I have found that not every couple wants ultra snuggly and romantic portraits, because perhaps their natural dynamic leans towards goofy. Or maybe they have been best friends for a really long time and more casual photos of them engaging in an activity they love would more accurately describe their love story. Whatever it is that describes you as a unit is what I am here to capture, because I want you to LOVE your photos and feel comfortable sharing them with your loved ones. 

You won’t find someone here who just clicks a camera; you’ll discover an artist who sees beyond the surface. I’m not interested in stiff poses or staged smiles. Instead, I’m all about uncovering the unguarded moments —the stolen glances, the genuine laughter, and the shared tenderness. These are the moments that tell your story, and it’s my skill to capture them. 

In the world of photography, there’s a lot that can feel unfamiliar and overwhelming, but I am here to guide you through the creative process. I’m here to translate your vision into reality, making every step effortless and enjoyable. You won’t need to worry about the technicalities; you can focus on being present in the moment, soaking in the joy and the emotions.

A traveler, art enthusiast, and culture seeker; I draw inspiration from my French heritage.

Being of European descent, growing up in a family of artists and later traveling around Europe on my own, I've developed a unique perspective and appreciation for the romance of the old world. Every place, artwork, and interaction becomes woven into my photographic stories. The rhythms of music and the depths of psychology further enrich my perception, allowing me to delve into emotions that shape each moment.

When I am not Photographing Couples I am:

1.

Traveling

2.

Gardening or renovating my 1923 Savannah Home

3.

Taking my 3 year old on adventures

"Laura really takes the extra time to get to know you and make sure the photos are exactly what you were looking for. I can't say enough good things about her!"

You should know

When I am not photographing couples I am embarking on nature adventures with my 3 year old, renovating my 1923 home, or getting involved with my community in various ways. I love to travel and I am also passionate about sustainability, permaculture, health and primitive skills. These are all avenues I am more deeply exploring in my time off. If these things also excite you, let's chat about them!
