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.

When Danny and I got married — before we became wedding photographers, I should add — we had never heard of a first look. We knew all about the tradition of the groom not seeing his bride until she walked down the aisle and met him at the altar. What we didn’t know was how […]

They met in high school, in their home town of Orlando. Then, together, they headed off to college at the University of Florida. Then Mike moved on to get his masters in journalism at Northwestern — and Colleen couldn’t go with him, because she had her new nursing job back home. But once Mike landed […]

After eight years of marriage, four little girls, and four deployments for Travis, he called Jes — from overseas, during his latest deployment — this winter with a surprise. They were going on vacation to Florida this summer, he told her, to spend a week at Disney and a week at the beach where she […]

The day after Arun’s birthday, and the day before Nikole’s, they headed to the hospital for a routine checkup on their soon-to-be-born baby girl. And the doctor told Nikole it was time. Then. They were going to meet Alani that very day. So they were sent upstairs at Halifax Hospital for what the doctors called “prep.” […]
