hello! i'm laura
Thanks so much for popping by! I'm Laura, a Staffordshire wedding photographer. I take relaxed, creative photos of people who love each other, whether that be wedding photography or family photography. I'm Staffordshire born and bred. I live in Stoke on Trent, with a ginger boy and a nutty cockapoo puppy called Pixel.
Being a wedding photographer makes me do a little happy dance on a regular basis. I've shot in lots of incredible places such as barns, in the woods, at seaside locations and even a 1920's cinema. I'm surrounded by some really great wedding venues in Staffordshire but also love travelling up and down the country so wherever you are planning your nuptials, i'm there!
'Hiring Laura was probably one of the best decisions we made for our day. She’s just so amazing!! As nervous and shy people she made us feel like we’d known her for years and she was just part of our intimate wedding party.'
relaxed, creative wedding photography
for non-traditional couples
I've been shooting weddings for 10 years now and have over 300 under my belt. So, if you are looking for a wedding photographer who won't make you feel like a frozen chip and will beautifully document the love between you and your people, then i'm your girl!
I like to keep things simple. My photography is natural, relaxed and creative but most of all it's all about you.

We could not have asked more from our wedding photographer on our special day! Laura's photography is beautiful and her style is everything we were after - natural and capturing all the emotion of the day and the love that we have for our family and friends. She is a lovely lady and several of our guests commented on how well she fit into the whole day. So many thank yous, we will treasure our photos forever.
Laura is absolutely incredible!! We used her as our wedding photographer she made my wife and I so comfortable to entire time while taking the raddest wedding photos. We are so happy to have had her and will be running back to her every chance we get. Thanks Laura!
Staffordshire Wedding Photographer - creative, heartfelt wedding photography
Hi folks! It’s been a little quiet over here because it’s my busiest time of year. I’m zipping up and down the country, working with the very best couples and eating a lot of canapés. It’s wonderful.
Here are a few from last weekend. @tempestelliott and Alex planned a really informal, lovely day and it was an absolute blast.

What a gorgeous pair these two were. Jon and Sarah planning a fun, family centred weekend and it was wonderful. Lots of smiling, lots of twirling and some very clever first dance choreography made it an excellent day.
Huge thank you to @bigginhall for looking after me so well!

A little gorgeousness from Thursday’s London wedding.
Hope you’re all keeping well in the heat! I’m off to climb into the freezer.

Im finding it tricky to find the words to describe yesterday. There was so much colour, sound, joy, emotion and bloody good dancing.
