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 we were planning our own wedding, Danny and I had so much fun getting caught up in the details. Well, maybe I had a little more fun than he did with the flowers and fashion, but really, we both had fun. There was a dinner menu to plan and a tasting to attend. There […]

As I typed the sentence in an email, I was struck by how very true it was. And how very often I don’t want to believe it. I wrote, “The biggest blessings rarely come from quietly keeping to the safe path; they come from setting off into the jungle and trusting God to — mostly […]

They stood on the covered platform, hand-in-hand — their guests behind them, their pastor in front of them.  Their past behind them, their future inviting them with open arms. Nneka and Bobby had just committed their lives to one another and were about to recommit their lives to Jesus in Holy Communion. Which was exactly […]

One of the hands-down most romantic engagements I’ve ever seen . . . and which I was lucky enough to get to photograph . . . has been published today! Taylor and Jerry’s fantasy-horse-filled engagement from last February is front and center on Borrowed & Bleu this morning, and frankly, I’m happy for a reason […]
