hi! i’m laura and i’m a creative wedding photographer
I live in Stoke on Trent, in Staffordshire with my ginger bearded boy, Simon and our puppy, Pixel. I wasn’t a person who was given a camera as a child and instantly fell in love. Photography found in my early twenties and became a way of processing the ups and downs of my life. Wedding photography is a dream come true for me. It allows me to surround myself with happy, smiley people, be creative and give my couples memories of them on their very best day.
Booking a wedding photographer can be quite a daunting task. There are so many options and you may feel a little overwhelmed. I prefer to keep things simple. My wedding photography style is as natural as possible, so that you can enjoy every second of your day. I won't make you pose for hours on end because I don't believe that this is how the best photographs are taken.

- I'm a big fan of music with quite an eclectic taste but am sadly a terrible singer.
- My favourite colour is mustard yellow. It's just the best one.⠀⠀
- My all time favourite TV show is Grey's Anatomy. As soon as I reach the end, I restart it.
- I own far too many house plants and am considering giving them names.⠀
- My grandad is my biggest fan and my cheerleader. He was a professional photographer and I love that it makes me like him.
- I love collecting tattoos and growing my record collection.
- I recently started making pottery, mostly on a wheel.
- I love to travel. My favourite place so far is Thailand.
- I recently got into youtube cooking channels. I can highly recommend Binging with Babish
and Claire Saffitz.
- I believe that there’s nothing worse on this earth than sprouts and men in speedos.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀

I’m definitely not a ‘say cheese’ sort of photographer.
I won’t make you feel awkward, or fake. I might make you laugh so hard that you snort. My photographs are simply about happiness and love. I love shooting in front of big doors, quirky spots and in lovely evening light. My couples are looking for someone who takes honest, natural images that are a true reflection of their day. They are also not big fans of posing and so I tend not to do much of this. If you’d like to chat about your wedding photography, then please do get in touch.

Yesterday was part two of Nathan and Jen’s wedding. They celebrated with a small ceremony last year and had the bigger party this year. It was marvellous to see everyone again and photograph their newest milestone as a couple, becoming parents! Love to you both.

Next up was Sam and Hattie, who got married at @keele_hall, in the beautiful sunshine! They picked this venue because it’s where they met and it was so lovely to be able to revisit some of the places they used to hang out in as students.

Iceland…oh my goodness, I love you. Probably the best example of nature I’ve ever seen. Just magic.
I’m back now to a very full inbox so tomorrow I shall be in touch with everyone who is still waiting to hear back. Until then, enjoy this incredible waterfall.
