Top 20 Thank you for visiting my page and showing an interest in getting to know me. My name is Laura, and I have a deep passion for photography. Photography, to me, is more than just capturing images; it's about telling stories, evoking emotions, making statements, and preserving moments in history. I find immense joy in the ability of photography to freeze moments in time, allowing us to revisit them whenever we please. In 2016, I founded Rust and Bark Wedding Photography with a focus on weddings, couples, and creative conceptual work. My journey into photography began at OCAD University, where I learned how to turn ideas into concepts and stories, and transform my vision into tangible photographs. Drawing inspiration from old paintings, cinema and fashion, I strive to create images that exude a sense of documentary, romance, and a touch of editorial, through my composition and editing techniques. While I am based in Toronto, Ontario, I am fueled by a passion for travel and embrace any opportunity to explore new places and meet new people. My mission is to capture the raw and candid moments that reveal the true emotions shared between you and your loved ones.

We feel so fortunate to have had Laura and Paige as our engagement and wedding photographers!
I am so glad we went with Rust & Bark for our engagement and wedding photos! Laura is phenomenal to work with. She is down-to-earth, patient, and most of all, incredibly talented at her craft.
When it came to taking our engagement photos, Laura helped to guide my husband and I through the awkward initial phases. From there, what she captured was pure magic.
On our wedding day, Laura was punctual, professional, and patient as she worked with us to capture the day. Our wedding guests all commented on how lovely our photographer was and we couldn't agree more.
Laura, thank you for being a part of one our most important life moments. We're in love with the memories you've captured for us and look forward to working with you again soon.

I would highly recommend working with the Rust & Bark team for any life milestones you want captured timelessly. Laura is an absolute pleasure to work with and made us feel comfortable for both our engagement shoot and wedding.
From shooting to receiving the final shots, she over-delivers every time and we are so happy we chose her to be part of our special day.

My husband and I worked with Rust & Bark in November 2023 for our engagement and wedding photos. Laura, the woman behind the camera, is personable, patient, and helped to provide photo coaching and recommendations during the wedding planning process.
My husband and I seldom have professional photos taken and were so glad we decided to do an engagement session with Laura ahead of having her photograph our wedding day. She helped us to ease our nerves, create laughter and tenderness which she captured beautifully in our pictures.
On the day of the wedding, Laura was punctual and prepared, taking great care to capture moments that were most important to us (tea ceremony, portraits, wedding ceremony) which we had discussed beforehand. We received many compliments from our friends and family about just how lovely Laura was and we couldn't agree more.
Now looking back at our wedding photos 8 months after the big day, we are instantly transported back to those special moments and we are so very grateful we had Rust & Bark with us on that day.
We look forward to working with Laura again to capture more milestones in the future.
Thanks so much Laura!!!

Laura and Paige came highly recommended and delivered. Our wedding looks better than we imagined!
Laura and team was an absolute dream to work with. Right from the beginning she made sure she understood our vibe, our story, and what we wanted to remember out of wedding photos.
We worked with the team for both our wedding and engagement shoots and both were amazing sessions.
During our wedding day, Laura and Paige were planned but as things ran late as they often do, they were flexible with their timing to make sure we had a great day.
The photos turned out amazing, and will be such coveted memories for years to come.

Laura was the best choice we made for our wedding day. The photos are absolutely magical, I love looking back on them. She captured truly beautiful moments and the vibe of the day perfectly.
Laura was the most phenomenal photographer we ever could have asked for! The energy, joy, and talent she brought to our engagement shoot and our wedding made us feel so comfortable. She truly takes the time to get to know her clients and their stories, which allows her to capture moments in such a natural and beautiful way.

I am thrilled to write this review. From the moment we met Laura, it was clear that she was not only incredibly talented but also deeply passionate about her craft. Her attention to detail, creativity, and ability to capture the most intimate and special moments of our big day left us completely speechless.
Throughout the entire process, Laura and Paige were a joy to work with. Their professionalism, punctuality, and warm demeanor put us at ease, allowing us to relax and truly be ourselves in front of the camera. They went above and beyond to ensure that every shot was perfect (even in the pouring rain), and their dedication truly showed in the final results.
Looking through our wedding album, we were transported back to that magical day, reliving each emotion and moment through her stunning photographs. They both managed to capture not only the big moments but also the little candid interactions and details that we might have otherwise missed. Their ability to tell our love story through images is a testament to their skill and artistry.
We can't thank Laura and Paige enough for the beautiful memories they have given us. Their work is a true reflection of their passion and talent, and we are beyond grateful to have had them as our photographers. We would choose her 100 times over and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a photographer who goes above and beyond to exceed all expectations.
