Mexican & Italian are my fav food! Love a good Netflix binge! & I live for 2 hour bubble baths!! Once I'm in, you can't get me out! :)

“Such AMAZING pictures - from our engagement photos to the big day, April was perfect. She is so sweet, accommodating, and easy to work with. She drove all the way from Franklin to our home on a weeknight last minute to do our engagement photos! And then she captured all the best moments from our wedding day - I literally can’t decide which ones are my favorite because she did such a great job. HIGHLY recommend!!! One of our favorite people to work with throughout the whole wedding process. I hope she will work with us again in the future!”

Now, I specialize in photographing weddings with an editorial edge and a heart-forward approach. My style is natural, inclusive, and focused on making you feel confident, seen, and celebrated in every image. I'm based in Crewe, Virginia, but always ready to travel for love!

“There are people you come across in life where the ease of conversation translates and you find yourself wanting to cross paths with this person again. This is the case with LaraBelle photography! Met her by chance at a bridal show and after seeing her images I recognized such a beautiful aesthetic with her work! Straightforward, clean, crisp and beautiful photography are words I’d use to describe her work. She’s very quick to turn around a gallery and you can tell her passion for photography and documenting special occasions precedes her. I highly recommend hiring LaraBelle for all of your photography and video needs. You can’t go wrong! I look forward to working with her in the future!”

From our very first conversation, the photographers were direct and easy to talk with, making the planning process a breeze. On the day of, they were patient and attentive, capturing all the special moments with great care.

Hey there, I’m Holly! I’m a wedding and engagement photographer based in Roanoke, VA, and I’m all about capturing love stories in the most authentic and heartfelt way possible. My photography style is raw, emotional, timeless, and fun. Whether I’m photographing a tender moment between a couple or the spontaneous laughter during a celebration, I strive to capture the genuine connection and joy shared on your big day. There’s nothing more rewarding for me than freezing those fleeting moments so you can relive them for years to come.

“I originally chose Holly for my photographer because we had a very specific theme for our wedding (Destiny the video game). It must have also been Destiny that she played the game and was familiar with the theme. Also, she was amazingly flexible and willing to work with our budget. Her correspondence with me was always quick and prompt. Even when it came to getting my professional pictures and sneak peaks all back, I was told it would be up to 2 months for return, but she had them back in only a week or two's time. Unfortunately, (as these things sometimes happen) Holly was not able to actually come do our photos due to getting extremely sick (which no one can help), so we had to have a stand in photographer named Justin. I know we (including herself) were all bummed she could not be there considering we were all excited and familiar with the theme. Despite not having Holly, Justin was still very nice to work with and did an amazing job. I did notice that the best pictures (of course) were the ones he had time to actually position and pose us for. I think my biggest regret was I wish I had had more time and funds to pay for more time for him to pose us and take these more less candid photos. I was sad to find that we missed out on getting individual photos of my daughters and all four of them on their own. Also there were no photos of my husband with his second oldest daughter which really upset her... But again, I don't blame the photographer for this. It really was chalked up to a lack of time. Also, one of my daughters changed into more comfortable clothes during dinner so that took away from us being able to get the nice pictures I had wanted. So I can't emphasize enough that I don't blame the photographers for this at all... It was just one of my biggest regrets on my part of the night. I again, wish I had built more time and been able to contribute more money to more pictures that could be done in this manner. I definitely recommend this team. They are so nice and do their best to check off all of the boxes that you want. They work with you and are quick and efficient with what they do.”
