Laurel Place
Hi there! I’m Laurel— raised in the good 'ole W-Y-O, the wide-open spaces and cowboy culture shaped my love for capturing and storytelling.
The Wild West will always be my first love, but Arizona has captured my heart as a close second. Now a proud Phoenician, I feel so lucky to have moments to capture from the desert to the mountains.
Why me?
I Do More
Here's the thing: A lot of photographers take really, really good photos. But who you hire for your big day is a lot more than that. I like to think that I am part coordinator, therapist, bouncer, and ultimate hypeman— with a dash of photographer. I am there to protect and savor your day with you, and to make sure everything is executed and captured without a hitch and the way YOU want. Unruly family or wild bridal party? Been there, THRIVE there. You're all perfect angels and need zero guidance or instruction? Still a party, let's chat.
I Connect
I connect with people. I will contribute more than your dream photos to your wedding— I will be a joyful part of your day and end up as someone you build a genuine connection with.
I won't just take your photos. I craft a visual narrative that reveals your unique story. When clients see their photos, they often express how it feels like truly seeing themselves for the first time—captured in motion, unposed, and truly authentic—just how they remember it.
About Me
When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me doing other things to fill my cup—reading, gardening, cooking, and doing my best to create a cozy home.
When the weekend hits, you'll catch me at home with a disgustingly filthy martini, a deck of cards (cribbage, anyone?), and hopefully a dog and my people by my side.
"I cannot recommend Laurel enough. Her ability to capture precious and special moments is unparalleled."
