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.

Callie’s mother sent us home with one of the stunning centerpieces from Fairbanks Florist at the end of the night. How could we […]

It also got me thinking. . . . As a photographer, my work on a couple’s wedding day hinges on the other wedding […]

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how much we have liked all our couples. We think they’ve been great to work with, but even more, they’re great people. We definitely don’t take this for granted, and we feel incredibly blessed to consider our couples our friends. But this week, something else occurred to me. Not only […]

It’s really no secret that I love food, is it? I’ve blogged about juicing, and on my website I list popcorn and good wine among my favorite things on this earth. So you probably won’t be surprised when I tell you that ohmygoodness, my friend Lauren introduced me to the best grilled cheese sandwich ever when I […]

They stood at the side of the church, holding hands, and there was a teasing twinkle in Phil’s eye as Callie grinned at him, absolutely giddy. “Are you ready to do this babe? Are you ready to get married?” They were ready. They got married. And they’re going to live happily ever after, starting with […]
