This isn’t just any session. It’s a story you’ll want to live through again and again.
Whether it’s on the shoreline, deep in the trees, or in your own backyard—your love doesn’t need a big show to be worth remembering. Let’s keep it simple, meaningful, and you.
You’ve seen the portfolios. You’ve read the promises. You’ve scrolled past captions that all sound the same. Now you’re looking for someone who feels like your photographer.
Someone who knows how to read the room and the weather. Who knows when to speak up and when to step back. Who knows where the lupine bloom and where to go for a golden hour first dance without an audience.
Hi, I’m Laurel - local to the Kenai Peninsula, big fan of foggy coastlines, boat rides, and documenting love, just as it is.
I live here on the Kenai Peninsula year-round, and I photograph love stories in a way that feels personal, grounded, and true to you.
Whether you’re planning an intimate wedding at a wilderness lodge, a seaside elopement reached by boat across Kachemak Bay, or a golden-hour session on a quiet Homer beach with your favorite people—I’m here to document it honestly and artfully.
- T & L
"We met a few times prior to the wedding to chat about time and locations and certain shots that were important to me. She went out of her way to accommodate my crazy schedule. She showed up at four different times and locations, was prompt, and helped make our wedding so special. She captured our love and our family so well."
“She was super professional and on top of her game.”
From just-us elopements to backyard weddings with all your favorite people—here’s what working together can look like.

ALASKA WEDDING PACKAGES
From Homer to Anchorage
(and beyond)
For the couples who want to be present for it all.
Based on the Kenai Peninsula, available for travel throughout Southcentral Alaska and beyond.
Your wedding day isn’t a content shoot. It’s not a performance. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime gathering of the people who matter most—and I want you to feel every part of it.
From quiet moments while you get ready, to the laughter over dinner, to the way grandpa busts out his favorite dance moves during the reception—I’ll be there, camera in hand, gently guiding when needed and fading into the background when it matters most.
I’ll help you build a timeline that flows, make space for slowness, and capture it all with the kind of care that only comes from someone who’s fully invested.

Alaska Elopement Package
For the wildly in love and quietly rebellious.
Whether it’s just the two of you and a bottle of bubbly on a bluff, or a ferry ride across Kachemak Bay with your closest crew, I’ll help you plan something that reflects who you are—and photograph it so that the story lives on long after the moment has passed.
This isn’t about hiking to exhaustion or chasing a trend. It’s about choosing intention over expectation. I’ll bring the calm. The snacks. The bear spray, if needed. And I’ll make sure you get a moment to breathe it all in.
Planning guidance and timeline assistance included. Half-day and full-day options available.
“Her attention to details and eye for photography captured us perfectly.”
“Laurel not only radiates positivity, but was so flexible, communicative and understanding in our vision. She prioritized making our elopement so special and was the perfect addition to our day.”

“She caught some candids between my husband and I that are SO us. And they are our FAVORITE photos.”
“Laurel is an AMAZING photographer. She took our engagement photos and our wedding photos and I could not be happier. You can tell she has a true passion for capturing moments. If you need photos for any reason, you have GOT to reach out to Laurel. We will be using her for literally every occasion. I cannot say enough words about how much we love our photos. Thank you so much, Flaurel Photography!!”

For the chapters beyond "I do."

frequently asked questions
- is a second shooter worth it?
+ Do you help with planning?
+ What if I’m not sure which package fits our day best?
+ Do you charge travel fees?
+ Do you offer payment plans?
+ How will my photos be delivered?
Short answer—yes! But if it’s not in your budget, don’t stress. I’ll still document all the meaningful, can’t-miss moments. A second shooter is simply a great way to get extra coverage from a different perspective—especially during busy parts of the day or if you’re getting ready in separate locations.

I don’t offer full-service planning like a coordinator would—but I am here to help. I’ll send over vendor recommendations, location ideas (from glacier spots to cozy stays), and suggestions for beaches and venues off the beaten path. If you're eloping, I can help you shape a plan—you’ll handle the bookings, but I’ll guide you every step of the way.

That’s what I’m here for! I’ll help you choose the collection that makes the most sense for your timeline and priorities. And if you end up needing more coverage later, no problem—you can always add hours, even on the day of. I’m not the pack-up-early type (especially if the dance floor is poppin’).

Travel between Homer and the Soldotna/Kenai area is included in every package. If your wedding is beyond that range, I may charge a small travel fee to cover fuel, time, or an overnight stay if needed. For all other photoshoots outside of Homer, a travel fee will be applied to your service.

Yes! A 25% retainer is due to officially book your wedding/elopement. I’m happy to break up the rest of the payments however works best for you. The final balance is due two weeks before your wedding. A 50% retainer is due for all other sessions and the final balance is due the day of your session.

All your images will be delivered in an easy-to-use online gallery. You’ll be able to download your photos in both high-res and web-size formats, share with loved ones, and even order prints directly. Your gallery will remain active for six months, so be sure to download your images during that window!
Let’s make something real, together.
Whether you know exactly what you want or just know how you want it to feel, I’ll help you shape a photography experience that’s intentional from start to finish.
