LAURA YANG

I've
always been
storyteller.

But I never set out to be a photographer. I was (and still am!) going to be a writer. And then as I worked toward that writing goal, someone put a camera in my hand and asked me to try telling stories with something besides words. So with an English nerd's love for character and tone, a romantic's love for poignant beauty, and a realist's love for imperfection, I dove in.

I've
always been a
story-teller.

That was back in 2010.

Since that time, photography has changed much of my life. It's brought me some of my dearest friends. It's reshaped the way my husband Danny and I view serving others. It has even literally taken me around the world. One thing that hasn't changed: my soul-stirring desire to tell stories that feel so real you're sure you knew them before you heard them. Or saw them. It's my privilege to tell those stories for my clients, and for the generations of their families still to come.

As soon as the initial shock of the proposal wore off on that rainy night in the middle of January, Danny and I began discussing wedding dates. Spring was too soon, we both decided. Summer too hot. Fall sounded perfect. Now we just needed a date. Choosing a wedding date — a good wedding date — […]

After several days of overcast skies, high winds, intermittent rain (and one cancelled photo shoot as a result), and general dreariness, I can’t tell you how excited I was when I woke up to sunlight yesterday morning. Beautiful, rejuvenating sunlight. And I wasn’t the only one grateful for it.Our pink bougainvillea was finally blooming again! […]

Gorgeous couple. Gorgeous location. Gorgeous fall afternoon. It was a definite recipe for success. Back on their wedding day, Callie and Phil had to forgo golden hour portraits because Callie wasn’t feeling very well — and I told her on Monday, as we photographed against the apricot background of the striking sunset, that might have […]

It feels like fall! No wait, just kidding; it was nearly 80 degrees yesterday and is supposed to hit the mid 80s again early next week. It’s a gorgeous sunny day with crisp blue skies! No wait, just kidding; now it’s gray and windy and threatening rain. Florida — please, make up your mind. It’s mid […]

Is there anything in the world that feels more awkward to brides than singling out some friends to publicly hold up as your “best” friends while the “other” friends who didn’t make the cut sit among the guests and watch? The correct answer would be “absolutely,” but when you’re a bride about to pick her […]
