“I wish I could write a brochure titled "1,000 reasons to book Laura Gares Photography this instant" because stop reading this review and book her. They say that every wedding has an energy, a mood, and a vibe, and that being able to capture that is what takes wedding photography from good to GREAT. Laura did all of that and more. She managed to capture every single moment, and every single memory from what was hands down the best day of my(our) entire life. There is not a moment she missed. And the craziest thing is that I barely remember her taking pictures! Because it was such a natural, heartwarming experience. Having not done an engagement session, we were a teensy bit nervous on how it would "feel" to get so many portraits taken (would it feel like a chore?!). It felt wonderful. It was so relaxed and natural with her warm and amazing presence that I honestly don't remember posing for most of these! Which makes all of them even more special to us. Even people who say reception pictures are silly- she captured every amazing moment, and all of the fun that everyone had. We just received our full wedding gallery from her, and my heart can't stop bursting with appreciation and love for her craft. She will ensure she captures everything important to you. And if you like "detail" shots of flat lays, etc... then you HAVE to book her this moment. I promise you'll have zero regrets.”

“Laura was simple amazing to work with! We used her for both our engagement photos and our wedding photos and we could have not asked for a better photographer! We loved how every single picture came out, and received many compliments on our wedding photos. Laura treated us like friends and made sure that we were comfortable in our pictures. She helped with our wedding timeline, which seriously was so helpful in the planning process. She also made sure to get me a plate of appetizers during cocktail hour so I wouldn’t miss out. We are so thankful to have had Laura as our photographer and highly recommend!”

Casey & Tom

“I can't say enough great things about Laura and her work! My husband hates having his picture taken and even he has complimented Laura on how comfortable he was during our engagement and wedding photos. Laura really takes the time to get to know each of her client couples and her attention to detail is impeccable. Being able to relive our wedding day through her beautiful photos has been so special for us. Thank you Laura!”

Zachary & Sarah

“Laura was everything I could have hoped for in a wedding photographer! She took us on openly after I told her I’m a HUGE procrastinator (where most people probably would have ran after knowing this). My (now) husband and I are very awkward, quirky people and she made us feel comfortable and not so awkward in front of the camera. She was great at offering advice on how to pose and had a keen eye for where to pose in front of. I’m thankful to have found and chose her to do our wedding photography, not only because her skill is top notch but because I also gained a friend from this.”

Ashley & Gerald

“Laura is an amazing person and so great to work with! She is down to earth, listens to our needs and delivers AMAZING work! We are so blessed to have found such a great photographer. She not only has done our engagement shoot, but several family shoots and of course our Wedding! Thank you so much, Laura!”

Sarah & Andrew

“My husband and I absolutely loved working with Laura for our wedding. From the moment we had our initial conversation with her leading up to the wedding, we had nothing but the best experience with her. She was reasonably priced and included an engagement photo session with her package and we are beyond thrilled with the pictures we have gotten back. She is always readily available to answer any questions and she's a natural when it comes to this. Her pictures capture the beautiful moments perfectly without adding too many filters or alterations. She was absolutely hands down the best photographer that I will not hesitate to recommend to anyone who needs one!! Thank you, Laura!”

Brett & Lauren

“Laura was the BEST photographer we could’ve asked for. She did our engagement photos, bridal shower & wedding photos. Right off the bat she made us feel comfortable and is super sweet! I would use her again in a heartbeat for any other photos I will need!”

Rachel & David

“We loved working with Laura so much! She did such an awesome job capturing our wedding day and we absolutely loved our photos. She got so many beautiful and creative shots and was able to get them edited and returned to us quickly. We could not be more thankful to Laura for her skill and genuinely sweet personality.”

Daniel & Jana

“Laura is simply amazing! She is the sweetest person, and has brought so much brightness and fun to our engagement & wedding shoots! I felt so comfortable and natural being photographed by her. She has been a saint through the difficult times with COVID and we are so thankful for her kindness and flexibility– she truly captured the most beautiful moments and meaningful details, allowing us to forever look back at these precious memories!”

Melissa + Alex

“I honestly cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed working with Laura and how in love with our photos we are. I treasure the memories she capture and each time I look at any one of these photos (which is quite often) I am taken right back to those moments and those feelings because they are so alive.”

“But the greatest of these is love.”
