Laurel Roots Photography

She listened to all of our ideas, had amazing prompts for photos, and made sure everyone was comfortable. We had an outdoor wedding, and the photos turned out amazing with the green background. She was on time for everything, kept us on schedule without feeling like we were being pulled away too much, and overall is very personable and wants to get to know you. You can tell through her work that she takes the time to know and understand her clients. I would recommend her to everyone!

My husband and I are still in awe of the pictures we had done at our wedding by Abbey! There weren't many places to get shots but you wouldn't know but the way she framed up everything. She was right there the whole time and made sure we got every shot we wanted and just went with the flow of the day. Can't say enough about how great it was!

Abbey was AMAZING! She did a great job at making my fiancé and I feel comfortable posing, as well as capturing those candid shots. I'm extremely pleased with the quality and amount of photos we received. She also kept me updated and responded quickly to my questions :)

Abbey is a lovely human and an excellent photographer. She is very friendly and personable which makes the experience easy and fun. She spent a lot of time with us and helped us with poses, which is exactly what we needed. She is flexible, considerate and accommodating (I have POTS). We highly recommend Abbey for an enjoyable experience, she is 10000% worth it!

Of all the good decisions my wife and I made during our wedding planning, of which there were surprisingly many, hiring Abbey and Wes with Laurel Roots Photography was the best one. Warning: Long, gushing review ahead. I am naturally suspicious of photographers owing to a lot of bad experiences. Being a guy probably adds to that; I don't think dudes are generally as comfortable being photographed as non-dudes. A lot of photographers I've experienced in the past have been super serious, love to make me do silly poses, and/or just don't do enough good work to be worth the cost, in my opinion. Photographers generally make me uncomfortable. Abbey and Wes could not have been more perfect for our wedding if they had meant to be. From the get-go, they were super communicative and easy to work with. We did our engagement photos super late in the game due to immigration constraints, and Abbey didn't stress about that at all. We scheduled with her easily, and when we had to reschedule and re-reschedule, she didn't mind at all. Both photo days were very easy and laid back. Abbey and Wes are very chill and open people. They're good at their jobs without being serious about it. They made the photoshoots fun, and for me that's a superpower. There were no goofy poses (except the ones we decided to do because we were comfortable around Abbey and Wes). I was very happy with our engagement photos and was actually looking forward to the wedding shoot. I do not exaggerate when I say that Abbey and Wes ran our wedding day for us. They gave us a timeline and made sure we got everything done on time. This is not an extra service we paid for, they just know their stuff and do their jobs well. I didn't really even appreciate it all until after the wedding when I realized they basically served as wedding coordinators for us without us asking them to. They took a ton of stress off of us and we didn't even know they were doing it. That's not all the extra work they did. Most people will just do the job you give them and take your check. I mean, that's what doing the job is. Not Abbey and Wes. The day of our wedding, they took time out of the day of their own initiative to drive around the city and find the perfect spot for photos. Again, this was not expected or requested, they just did it because they're awesome. I guess I just expected to take photos at the venue, but they got all the wedding party and family wrangled together and took us to a great spot in Covington I'd never seen. And the photos turned out fantastic. I know I'm biased, but they're seriously some of the best wedding photos I've ever seen, and we paid half of what my sisters paid for theirs. You know your photographers are good when your guests are talking about them during the reception. I seriously cannot recommend Abbey and Wes enough. I will use them for any and all photoshoots I ever need until the end of time. My wedding day was an amazing experience, and I owe a lot of that to Abbey and Wes. They went far above and beyond what we expected, and the memories we have from the wedding will last of a lifetime. Those memories wouldn't shine nearly so bright without such great photographers.
