If what you want most is space to breathe, be present, and remember how it all felt, that’s exactly what I’m here to help you do.

From the Spit to the summit

You want someone who feels the day with you—who knows when to step in, when to fade into the trees, and how to capture the moment your partner’s eyes crinkle as they whisper “we did it,” under the wide-open Alaskan sky.

ALASKA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Homer Alaska wedding and elopement photographer, local barista,  and firm believer that the in-between moments are the ones that matter most.


I live for the moments that don’t announce themselves. The breath you didn’t know you were holding as your partner walks up the trail in their wedding boots. The way your fingers find each other without looking. The rain that should’ve ruined everything but ended up making the vows feel even more sacred.

That’s the kind of moment I chase.
And that’s the kind of gallery I’ll hand you.


Hi, I'm Laurel

Booking Laurel was the best decision we made for our wedding.

Before the wedding she took the time to get to know me and ask questions she knew would be important to me on the wedding day. She was truly amazing!!! I felt so comfortable with her and can truly say I loved every single photo she took! Laurel captured every moment I could've wanted and captured all the little details so I won't forget them. Having her as our photographer was the most wonderful decision and I can't wait for the next time I'm on the other side of her camera!"

She made our elopement feel so special.

Laurel not only radiates positivity, but was so flexible, communicative and understanding in our vision. Her attention to details and eye for photography captured us perfectly. She prioritized making our elopement so special and was the perfect addition to our day."

“Our wedding photos are by far my most precious possessions.

Working with Laurel for our engagement photos and wedding day was the best decision I could have made! She worked closely alongside us to make sure our experience and photos felt authentic, unique and made our vision come to light. I received our photos so quickly and squealed in delight.I recommend to anyone and everyone to use Laurel."

I’ll help you slow down, breathe it all in, and actually enjoy
your day—not rush through it for the shot. 


I’ll climb on the water taxi with you. Pack the champagne for the boat ride. Make sure you get a quiet moment to watch the fog roll in before you say your vows.

It’s not about doing the most.

 It’s about making space for the real stuff like the way you look at each other when no one’s around, the calm that comes when the wind dies down, the moment you realize this is really happening.

I document the stuff you didn’t know you’d miss:

The blueberry stains collecting on your train as you explore the mountainside.

Your grandma’s windblown laugh.

The way you pulled your partner close when the day breeze picked up.

These are the details that make it yours. These are the stories I’ll tell.

Weddings don’t need to be extravagant to be meaningful. James and Sydney’s courthouse wedding in Homer, Alaska was a perfect example of this. I had the privilege of photographing their day, which was all about enjoying the moment and being together. Intimate Elopement at The Homer Courthouse After a very long road trip from Canada […]

Ready to slow down, take it all in, and come away with photos that feel like you?
