About Swoyer Photography

Laura

owner/photographer

I love what I do. I found my way to professional photography in a roundabout way, having started my working career as a marine scientist and environmental educator in CA and then on Maui. After years immersed in the ocean and hundreds of hours spent underwater, I realized that I was happiest on days when I could adventure freely with a camera in hand. The drive to learn more and become a better photographer lead me back to school on the east coast, where I ended up finding a new dream career and a home and community that I love.

I am always up for adventure. Whether it involves climbing a mountain, jumping in the water, or even getting there on skis, I'm in. My favorite photos are almost always the candids, the outtakes, and the little moments in between the other moments. I love using the landscape and the constantly changing seasons as a backdrop to help set a tone and tell a story. More than anything, I love working with couples and families who are down to earth, easy going and fun. I love what I do because of the people I get to work with and the beautiful locations I get to use as backdrops. I am always, always, always up for travel and new locations.

    Laura is amazing!!! Her photos are so stunning and we have so many. She captured everything we wanted and more. She was so easy to work with and flexible adjusting our plans throughout the day around the VT weather. She was so fun to be around and gave our wedding party tons of tips to make the photos turn out perfect. We can't stop looking at the photos!

    Laura is amazing! We were so lucky to have a photographer who knew our venue really well and she was so personable. Communication from day one was great and she always responded right away. She also made the final weeks of planning easy, sending us a form with everything she needed to ensure we got all the pictures we wanted. Mike was awesome too- we had the pleasure to work with him for a few hours and the groomsmen all said he was so kind. They were a great team and kept us on schedule before the ceremony. Laura sent us several photos the next day and they’re amazing, we can’t wait to see the rest! So happy we booked Laura and Mike, truly the kindest people and so fun to work with!

    Laura is great! She really tries to get you know you on a deeper level, when I first reach out she sent a huge questionnaire which I loved! She is so flexible, which was perfect. Our wedding was in Vermont and we are living in Colorado. We were able to coordinate meeting up when we visited in May. We met at a beautiful location and she took soo many more photos than I thought we’d get back! They were all incredible! Her questionnaire for the wedding day was perfect! Fast forward to wedding day, she arrived promptly when we agreed on and got right to work! Guests loved her and she did such an amazing job! We had our first sneak peak picture at 7:30 the next morning! We loved working with Laura!

  • Amazing day despite surprise weather!

    We could not have found a better person to photograph our wedding. Laura was amazing when interacting with family members who were not familiar with the wedding process, and with those who knew a lot about weddings. She blended seamlessly into every interaction and was so friendly and helpful the entire time. We ended up having a change of plans last minute due to the weather, and she managed to get us all together to take different sets of photos with very limited time. She got photos that we didn’t even realize we wanted and was great with communicating during the process. She went above and beyond to make sure we were not stressed and the day proceeded smoothly. Our photos turned out so beautiful and “us” and our day genuinely would not have been the same without her. Thanks Laura!
