Laura Memory Photographer

We cannot rave enough about Laura Memory Photography and the pure art that Laura can create with her camera! I originally found Laura on Instagram and loved her ability to capture candid, authentic, and genuine joy in her clients. While I was wedding planning, I decided to somewhat secretly try out her services and booked a photoshoot with two of my best friends. The pictures Laura took of the three of us are so precious to us, and I’m so grateful that she captured this moment in time of our friendship.

It goes without saying that I really wanted Laura as our wedding photographer after such a wonderful experience with my friends. We quickly booked her for our special day and took advantage of the included engagement photoshoot, which we planned a trip to the Biltmore for.

The thing I love most about Laura is her positivity and the fun that she brings to her photoshoots. We had such a FUN time shooting our engagement photos, and the joy and love that me and my (now) husband have for each other is evident in the photos. As someone who isn’t always the most comfortable being in front of the camera, Laura helped with posing (where do I put my hands??), movement, and direction without being overbearing or making the photos look stiff. She works magic.

On our wedding day, Laura was there on time to start taking detail shots and captured all the moments (from dress reveals to wedding party group shots to ceremony moments to reception dancing). Honestly, it was like having a best friend and a sneaky paparazzi photographer with us the whole day. Her and her associate Raquel were lovely to be around and you could see their artistic brains working to set up incredible shots that are just gorgeous.

Laura is incredibly responsive via email, professional and positive during photoshoots, and impressively speedy with getting your sneak peeks (and full gallery!) to you after your wedding/photoshoot. Her photos aren’t the stiff, formal photos that you often see for weddings, but way more authentic and personal. I love how she captures movement, genuine laughter, and all of the small moments that mean so much. I couldn’t recommend her more highly for your wedding, maternity shoot, friendship photos, family photos, etc., and I can’t wait to work with her again!

Laura gave us the most amazing wedding photos we could have ever asked for.
When I started out my search for a wedding photographer, I was so discouraged looking at portfolio after portfolio and not feeling like any fit the style we were looking for, UNTIL I found Laura. Her work was bright, airy and elegant, everything we were looking for.  And the work she delivered for us was all of this and more!
From engagement photos to wedding photos, Laura exceeded all of our expectations. And even beyond photography, Laura's expertise at weddings brought such a smoothness to the whole day and the wedding experience. Laura and Drew were professional, prompt and kept us all on schedule. But they were also so fun and personable, it honestly felt like they could have been guests at the wedding. I cannot recommend her enough!

Laura is the absolute best photographer and you cannot tell me or any of our 100 guests otherwise. Her energy and attitude are top tier and we cannot thank her enough  for always being the best hype girl and making us feel special from start to finish - even behind the scenes with each email and text message. Her eye for detail and capturing moments are unmatched. She was able to get us to enjoy having our picture taken and love the results. There isn’t a bad photo in the bunch and we enjoyed having her with us during our special day. She also has the best music and makes everyone fell welcome, included and beautiful. We are so lucky she was available for our date. Couldn’t imagine working with anyone else. Thank you so much Laura!

Where do I even begin? From the moment we inquired with Laura and Drew, I knew our wedding photography was going to be something truly special.

When we initially reached out, we weren’t even engaged yet, but knew we HAD to have them for our day and they made it easy to feel like that would be possible! The biggest thing you need to know going into this process is you don’t just want photographers, you want people who become confidants, listen to your every idea, and make your day uniquely yours. That is Lura and Drew. They took the time to understand our vision and worked tirelessly to bring it to life, offering valuable insights and suggestions along the way.

When working with them, it was very easy to feel their genuine passion for their craft and unwavering dedication to their clients. Their ability to make capture our day in pictures that made anyone who saw them feel, was exactly what we wanted and what we’ll cherish so much for all the years that come. They also made our entire wedding weekend feel like a breeze. Despite the inevitable chaos (that can particularly radiate when we were the ones running the wedding at a cabin in a remote part of WV instead of a venue), they radiated calmness and positivity, which put me at ease being an anxious bride haha!

Being in the creative field as well, it’s not often that you come across people who not only excel at what they do but also genuinely care about the people they work with. Laura and Drew are those rare gems. They are more than just photographers; they are friends who share in your joy and celebrate your love as if it were their own and you’d be crazy not to have them capture your day!

The absolute best experience! Laura and Drew captured our day perfectly. The pictures look incredible and authentic to us, I REALLY can't hammer that point home enough. Not to mention they were attentive, organized but nimble, and FUN. As an LGBTQ couple, finding great vendors/teams to support you on your special day can be an anxiety-inducing experience—no need to worry about this with Drew and Laura. They are outwardly affirming and welcoming. Truly wonderful people who are fabulous at their craft. Highly recommend!!!!

Amazing Experience with Laura Memory Photography!
