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.

Their first meeting, according to Denise, included a question from Sammy’s friend: “Do you want me to get her number for you?” To which Sammy replied: “No. I can get it myself.” But he didn’t. However, they still became a couple shortly afterward. Inseparable. Even though they’ve actually spent the majority of their relationship apart — […]

I know, I know — in the middle of planning a wedding, you don’t feel like you have time for anything else. You’re planning a wedding, after all. But there are some other things that you really need to get taken care of before the wedding date — things that aren’t actually part of the “wedding […]

They had known each other pretty much their entire lives, growing up on the same street and active in the same church, but they never considered each other a potential romantic interest until last summer. Kevin was home from the Army for a bit and Danyelle had just returned from college. With all their friends […]

In our seven years together, Danny and I have never made a very big deal of Valentine’s Day. We’ve always preferred a picnic dinner on the boat to jostling with the dressed up crowds at a fancy, packed restaurant. This year, we stayed home. We cooked together. We ate by candlelight. We savored a delicious […]
