LAURA SHAW
Relaxed & romantic wedding photography for modern couples.
Many underestimate the impact a photographer can have not only on the wedding day itself but also on the overall vibe, energy, and your own confidence.
I want your experience with me to be enjoyable and supportive, ensuring you have the best day possible. Having walked down the aisle myself, I fully grasp the weight of the photographer's role. It is a responsibility I don't take lightly. Building a genuine connection with you is key because it allows you to relax, and that relaxation shines through in the imagery.
The natural ease you see in my couples' photos isn't just luck. It's the result of taking the time to connect, delving into your love story, how you met, and what makes your bond special. These personal details matter deeply to me.
Visually documenting the raw and romantic. My approach blends seamlessly into the background, effortlessly natural with a refined touch and a subtle nod to editorial vibes.
"In the end, we all just want someone who chooses us over everyone else, under any circumstances"
I am blessed with amazing couples. It's a journey of discovery, getting to know you deeply to capture the essence of who you both are, to understand your narrative. It's not merely a first look with your mum or dad, their baby girl is getting married!
The embrace between you and your maid of honour is a testament to a lifetime of friendship and chosen family. Taking a portrait of your grandparents is something you don’t have and is a priceless addition to your family's legacy.
I am blessed to bear witness to the most important day in your lives so far. This declaration of love and commitment is a gift to be part of and I am in utter reverence of every one I am privileged to see.
Knowing the choices and vulnerabilities that have culminated in this moment, the shy first dates, confiding in your friends with all the details and how they made you feel. The late night talks, the butterflies, the all consuming thoughts and future planning of your lives together and this is only just the beginning!
The first 'I love you's' and the outpouring of emotions that follow when you hear your feelings reciprocated. The blossoming trust and confidence knowing you have found the one person that gets you and you can be your authentic self.
I am blessed to bear witness to the culmination of this journey and I cannot wait to witness yours.
"You were so kind and supportive; the photography felt effortless and enjoyable! Laura, we cannot thank you enough. We love them."
With a little nerves and a lot of excitement I begin to capture all the unique and delicate details of your bridal preparations. Watching for all those emotive moments, ready to document them, to tell the story of your day.
Whilst I capture everything as it unfolds, there will be moments when I gently steer the course. Subtle guidance to ensure everything flows effortlessly and in the best possible light.
When you're completely at ease with me behind the lens, it sets the stage for those genuine, unscripted moments to shine through. I take immense pride in my role, offering guidance when needed, sensing when to step back, observing, reacting, always ready to elicit laughter and allowing you to immerse yourself in the magic of your day. Your comfort and connection with me are paramount.
"Laura, we cannot thank you enough. Booking our wedding photography with you has been the best decision we made and worth every penny."
I would love to hear about your upcoming adventure.
Let's create something beautiful.
