Hey yall! I am Laura. I am a lover of Jesus & ALL people. I am obsessed with sunrises, a collector of junk & antiques, a wife & mother, & an artist. You will always hear a mix of Dolly, Loretta, Jinks, Randy, Waylon & Willie playing near me as well. As a family we love to travel, camp, hunt, & enjoy the outdoors. Please take me out WEST! One thing I have learned in the past 12 years is that I was created to see God's beauty & to share this experience through my work. Whatever you find here that is good, or beautiful is not to my credit, but God's.

“Laura has a great eye for detail and is super fun to work with! We love our wedding photos so much and will cherish them forever!”

Awarded Best of Zola
“We loved using Something Borrowed Blooms for our wedding flowers. We used them for my bridal bouquet, bridesmaid bouquets, and extra flower bunches to decorate around our venue, and everything turned out beautifully. I even purchased my bridal bouquet so I could display it forever, and it still looks just as stunning. Everyone kept commenting on how realistic and well put together the flowers looked, even more so than some real flower arrangements we’ve seen. It was such a relief not to have to worry about keeping anything in water or paying the high price of fresh florals. The flowers arrived at our venue a few days early, and the return process afterward was incredibly easy. I would recommend Something Borrowed Blooms to any bride who wants a beautiful, stress-free floral option!”

They were incredibly prompt on the big day and kept everything moving smoothly without us ever feeling rushed. Their friendly, upbeat attitude made it easy to relax and enjoy every moment.
Because they knew the layout of Stambaugh so well, they anticipated shots and transitions perfectly.
That familiarity with the venue helped everything flow naturally throughout the day. They captured so many meaningful moments, both big and small, that we still cherish.
Our wedding was documented beautifully and authentically.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

“I recommend 100% using flower moxie if you want to DIY your flowers. My cousin used them for her wedding and had a great experience so I decided to use for mine as well. I was worried since my wedding was on a Sunday that a Thursday delivery would have my flowers wilting by the time of the actual wedding. It was perfect. The flowers lasted so long. The recipes for the arrangements are easy to follow. Everyone loved my florals and was surprised it was DIY. I would totally use them again.”

“I cannot recommend PressRecord enough! From start to finish, the entire process was incredibly easy and completely stress-free. The camcorders were simple for our guests to use, and everything was clearly explained, making the whole experience foolproof. What truly impressed me was their customer service. They were unbelievably kind and responded to every email so quickly. They even re-edited our wedding film **twice** to make sure it was exactly what we envisioned, and they happily searched through all of the footage to include very specific moments that were important to us. The most meaningful thing they did was incorporate a photo I sent them of our memorial table honoring my mom and my husband's grandparents who had passed away. Including that tribute in our wedding video meant more to us than I can express, and I'm so grateful they took the time to make it happen. Our final 5-minute home video feels so personal and captures the heart of our wedding day perfectly. If you're considering PressRecord, do it—you'll not only end up with an amazing keepsake, but you'll also be working with a team that genuinely cares about preserving what matters most.”

We didn't know him before and didn't end up doing an engagement shoot (so I was a little nervous) but he absolutely nailed it. His photos are stunning (I've gotten a TON of compliments on them), he is extremely communicative, and he had a bunch of photos ready to go by the end of the wedding. Both me and my husband aren't great at posing for photos and he knew exactly how to place us without it feeling faked. Super easy to work with and just a really nice guy. I'd highly recommend him to anyone!”

“Michaela and I got married on September 6, 2026 at The Madison in Cleveland, and booking Sean was one of the best decisions we made. Before the big day, Sean checked in with several times, making sure our vision would come to life. His attention to detail during these touch points was so appreciated. He did a great job of condensing the things that both my wife and I wanted.  On the day itself, Sean was calm, professional, and genuinely easy to be around. He had a way of making us feel comfortable, so nothing felt stiff or overly posed. He kept things moving without ever making us feel rushed, and he seemed to be everywhere at once. Our guests loved him too! He went out of his way to make sure we got every family photo we wanted, which took a LOT of stress off of us. Family photos can get chaotic, and he handled it like a pro. When we got the gallery, we were blown away. The first look, the toasts, the sunset photos, the dance floor, he nailed every single one. The editing is perfect, but what really got us is that the photos tell the story of our day from start to finish. He caught moments we didn't even know happened, and we've already gone through the whole gallery more times than we can count. If you're looking for a photographer, book Sean. You won't regret it. Thank you, Sean, for giving us memories we'll have forever!”

“We are obsessed with our photos. Heather is seriously the coolest, most genuine person to work with. From the second she showed up for our engagement session, the vibes were perfect—fun, calm, organized, and so, so caring. You can tell she truly loves her clients and pours her heart into what she does. Her team made us feel comfortable the whole wedding day and captured everything so naturally and beautifully. Our photos feel effortless, real, and completely “us.” If you want a photographer who’s not only insanely talented but also your hype-woman and calm presence all in one, she’s it. 10/10 recommend. We’d recommend Heather and her team a thousand times over.”

“I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Ali! She reached out to me on Zola and I am so glad she did. I was impressed with her portfolio and I really loved seeing how she would capture little moments in the weddings she had done. We set up a video call before booking and we clicked. She is very calm and helped with my pre-wedding nerves. She worked with us on a payment plan and she was always very quick to respond to any of my questions. She really listened to what we wanted. She got to the venue early to scout out different shots and came to check in with me a couple of times before we even began taking photos, which I did not expect but was very sweet and considerate of her. When we were taking photos, she really helped to guide the more “posed” photos but she also captured a lot of beautiful candid moments. We had so many guests come up to us and compliment her and that was before we even got the photos back. She sent us our sneak peeks the next day and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. She captured so many beautiful moments and her style is exactly what we wanted. Nothing felt “overly edited” just perfectly genuine. I cannot recommend Ali enough. I cannot wait to see the full gallery of photos because I know they will be nothing short of perfect.”

“We came to Chicago for a small elopement, just the two of us — and hiring Svat was one of the best decisions we made. He made the whole experience feel so special and personal. From the start, he was super communicative and made sure he understood what we wanted. On the day of, he took us around downtown, showed us the most amazing spots, and made us feel completely at ease the whole time. It honestly felt more like hanging out with a friend than doing a photo shoot — and somehow, in the middle of all the fun and laughs, he captured the most beautiful, intimate photos we’ve ever had.

“From the moment we first spoke with Debra Aslanidis, we knew we had found the perfect wedding photographers. Debra and her partner Jeremy were prompt, friendly, and extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process. They gave great recommendations for shots and didn't apply any pressure for us to do staged photos we weren't interested in.
