I first met Laura Karl at my friend’s wedding, and the moment I saw her in action I knew I had to have her as my own wedding photographer.
From our very first conversation, Laura was incredibly easy to work with. She’s warm, friendly, and instantly puts you at ease, which is exactly what you want on a day filled with nerves and excitement.

I cannot express how talented Laura is!
She over-delivered on our engagement photoshoot, added in extra film photos (which ended up being some of our favourites!) and had our full gallery and previews ready in record time. She immediately understood our vision and the session was so seamless that it felt like we got three in one! Laura has an ability to make everyone feel so comfortable having their picture taken and the final results end up being beautifully natural. We have her booked for our destination wedding next year because we didn't trust anyone to do as great of a job as her.

She truly made our wedding photos and wedding day nothing short of spectacular.
We couldn't be happier with our choice of wedding photographer! From start to finish, Laura was incredibly friendly and professional. She made both me and my partner feel completely at ease in front of the camera! Her fun and humorous approach made the entire experience enjoyable, and she was incredibly easy to relate to.
Punctual and reliable, Laura knew all the best locations for stunning shots and had a great eye for perfect poses.
We were also thrilled to receive lots of sneak peek pictures the very next day after our wedding!
