"...We were planning our wedding remotely, and Laura was great about working with us via Skype/email. Laura has a lot of experience photographing weddings, so I would recommend booking her early on in your wedding planning process to get feedback about the logistics of your wedding day.

She gave us a great advice about how much time to budget for posed photos (we took couple photos in the UW Madison Arboretum and family photos in front of the Capital), and then she kept us on schedule the day of the wedding -- taking all of the posed photos that we wanted within the designated timeframe. She also made great suggestions on the day of the wedding. For example, we hadn't given any thought to the first look (we try to be go-with-flow people).

And Laura came up with a plan for our first look on the day of our wedding, and these photos are some of our favorites.

Laura's background in photojournalism was evident in the candid photos from our wedding day. She hustled ALL day long -- taking a ton of photos often from a variety of different angles -- so that when you look at a series of photos, you actually get a sense of what it felt like to be at our wedding! My husband and I have already gone through the wedding photos several times -- re-living our wedding day.

Laura is a kind and down-to-earth person -- which are qualities that we valued -- especially since we were with Laura from the time that I was getting ready through the ceremony and reception.

At the last minute, we asked Laura to stay an extra hour later (you can pay per additional hour) to take photos of us at one of our favorite bars in Madison. Laura was able to stay late, and the photos that she took of us walking down State Street and being at The Plaza are some of our favorites.

Laura, if you are reading this, thank you!!!
