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.

I love this photo and these two humans. It and they make me feel real, tangible joy. They had just wed in a really emotional ceremony in front of me and their witnesses and then ventured out into quite frankly apocalyptic rain but just look at their faces. Total happiness.

And finally, yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing Kenny and Genevieve at their INCREDIBLE Yorkshire venue, Telfit Farm. The couple married in front of their closed friends and family and had the most relaxed day I think i've ever been a part of! It was glorious. Congratulations guys!.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Next I headed up to York to photograph these two love birds. @smith_aluke94 and @_jo.jo.mae_ met completely by chance in a spanish hostel a couple of years ago. Luke and his terrible chat up lines are from Yorkshire and the very lovely Jo is from America. The stars alined and they fell in love. I cannot wait to photograph them exchanging vows in a couple of months!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

A couple of weeks ago, we were in Brighton and having loved @laura_aziz_ and her work for ages, we decided to have a shoot on the beach. Laura shoots with film, which is something that’s always fascinated me. It’s so beautifully unpredictable. This is one of my faves from the shoot.
