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.

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.

I hired Laura for my Toronto-based wedding in September 2022. Laura was amazing and I'm so happy with the results of the photos! She made us feel at ease and was able to capture us perfectly. The aesthetic of our photos captured exactly what we were looking for - boho and moody. Her assistant Paige was also very helpful and talented. I couldn't recommend Laura and her team more if you're looking for an on-site photographer for any of your special events (wedding, pregnancy shoot, etc.)! We also hired her for our newborn shoot and we rented an amazing studio space in Toronto for this. Laura captured our family perfectly. I cried when I saw the photos!! We are so lucky to have both the wedding and newborn shoot as keepsakes for the rest of our lives. Hire her!! You will not regret it!!
From start to finish, Laura from rust and bark delivered an exceptional experience that surpassed our expectations. Her creatively, passion and overall demeanour made us feel at ease the entire day, while simultaneously making sure that every special moment was documented beautifully.
Not only did Laura’s work blow us away, she was an absolute pleasure to work with—calm, creative, fun, and genuinely invested in making sure everything was perfect.
We can’t recommend her enough and couldn’t be happier with our decision to have her capture our wedding 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!!!

Thank you for being such a photo extraordinaire and superstar, Laura - We can’t wait for more photography sessions with you in the future!

Laura and Paige came highly recommended and delivered. Our wedding looks better than we imagined!
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.
