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.

Maybe it’s misnamed — a wedding day “emergency kit” isn’t for real emergencies. It’s for the minor ones. Like at my wedding, when one of my bridesmaids accidentally brushed against the skirt of my gown as she helped me put on my shoes, and she left behind a streak of makeup on the rippled taffeta. […]

It’s a big responsibility, shooting weddings. Not performing-emergency-surgery-big or save-the-world-from-aliens-big, but it feels pretty darn big. Each couple’s wedding happens only once. There are no do-overs. The couple will never have that day with those whirlwind emotions ever again. And if the DJ accidentally plays a song from the do-not-play list or the flowers weren’t quite a […]

The morning of their wedding in Katrina’s native New York City couldn’t have been any more beautiful, or any more promising as a metaphor for a strong marriage: There were a few clouds here and there, but in the vast backdrop of rich, almost-autumnal-blueness, those clouds were far from the defining trait in the sky. […]

Last night we had the absolute pleasure of being a part of another tasting put on by the wonderful Dubsdread team, this time back at the beautiful Highland Manor. We love it any time we get to work with the people at Dubsdread, because they take such good care of their couples — and the other […]

So the new iOS 7 just came out for iPhones. How many people downloaded it immediately? We did — and it’s going to take some getting used to, but then again, upgrades almost always do. There are some other upgrades coming soon, and we’re so excited that we actually have the time to get to […]

Last week, Danny and I received a copy of the photography rules for the church where we were going to be shooting Jessica and Stephen’s wedding on Saturday. As far as churches go, these rules were fairly standard, and didn’t overly-limit us in regards to the pictures we could get during the ceremony. They were […]
