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.

She stared nervously at her reflection in the mirror of the condo bedroom, her dangly earrings sparkling and her Melissa Sweet eyelit lace gown looking perfectly and beautifully bridal.

At the beginning of yoga class, as the music chants a soft backdrop and a candle flickers at the front of the room, Judy always encourages us. “Set an intention for your practice today, if you’d like,” she says gently as we sit with our palms pressed to our knees. It’s advice I’ve learned to […]

At Kaci and Frank’s St. Patrick’s Day wedding, Danny and I weren’t the only ones with cameras. Eric of Eric Horner Films, along with his assistant, Scotty, were right with us every step of the way, capturing some incredible footage of the wedding, which is now this beautiful wedding video. It gave me chills and […]

I love Laura and Sam, just like I love all our couples. But this pair is extra-special: I think Laura and Sam are Danny’s and my long-lost couple twins, if such a thing exists. There are the obvious, sometimes quirky similarities. She’s a blonde named Laura (we even share the same middle name, too!) and […]

They met a couple years ago, both members of a volunteer organization in Orlando, their shared hometown. Claire immediately started asking questions about the cute new guy. Bill immediately felt intimidated by Claire — the only female in the otherwise all-males group. And, two years later, voila! They’re getting married this October. Earlier today, we […]

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again (and when I’ve said it before, I’ve even said “I’ll say it again” then, too): I love my brides. I love them. I love that my brides are excited for their wedding day. I love that my brides are even more excited for their marriages, even more […]
