“Laura was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. She was so kind, patient, and helpful throughout the entire process, which made everything feel so much less stressful. As a camera- shy couple, we were nervous at first, but she made us feel completely comfortable and at ease. The photos and super 8 film are absolutely beautiful and feel so natural and full of emotion.


We're completely in love with the final output and so grateful to have these memories captured so perfectly. We can't recommend Laura enough. Thank you so much, Laura!"

"Would highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a photographer in the Vancouver/ Vancouver Island area! If you're looking for dreamy, magical and unique photos by a professional who knows their way around digital as well as film cameras- then look no further! We were absolutely floored by the photos she captured of our wedding day, and from start to finish Laura was friendly, personal, helpful and professional.


I feel so lucky to have found her services, she exceeded our expectations for a wedding photographer in every way!"

“It was so lovely working with Laura for our elopement! We aren't the most comfortable in front of the camera, but she made the process so easy-going. She quickly adapted when the weather turned for the worse, and had no problem being out in the rain with us.


The photos turned out amazing, we couldn't be happier with the results. She captured the afternoon beautifully. I would highly recommend her for your wedding/elopenent/anything!"
