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.

The shop doesn’t sprawl with racks of dresses stretching in all directions. Instead, it’s cozy — a one-aisle boutique  lined with dozens of gowns, a full-length mirror, a pair of chic chairs where the mother of the bride can sit to watch and dab her eyes. Bridal Ltd. has moved locations since I was a […]

When we left for California, we felt so long overdue for a vacation. We had been working hard — long, undefined hours (even though, at the start of the year, we had committed to more regular work hours); we felt fully engulfed by our work; we had so little time for the so many other things we […]

Once Nathan began ticking off the things he loves about Melinda, he couldn’t stop. But it’s how he started that would sweep a girl off her feet. “After four years, she still makes my heart flutter,” he said, so earnestly. “Every day.” Here’s to fluttering hearts and best-friends-turned-forever-best-friends and combining families to build just the […]

We’re all used to seeing bridesmaids in matching dresses. . . And bridesmaids in semi-matching dresses — same color, different styles (for the maid of honor, at Jordan and Wes’s wedding). . . And we’ve gotten used to seeing bridesmaids who coordinate, rather than matching, too. . . They’re all great options — so how do you decide […]

It’s not that it wasn’t sunny in Florida — but hey, guys, guess what?! It’s sunny here in California, too! We’ve been having a blast these past few days, and yesterday our United classes started bright and early. We’ve got a full schedule for today and tomorrow, including participating in a bunch of shoots — […]
