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.

Sabrina + Kevin – An Orlando Science Center Wedding | Orlando Wedding Photography

Friday, February 6th, 2015

As Sabrina rode to her wedding inside a limousine with her bridesmaids, she talked through what was about to happen. She was sure of this wedding. She was sure of Kevin.

For Sabrina, the morning had begun inside a hotel suite with her bridesmaids, her mother and mother-in-law. Confident and relaxed, Sabrina was already a radiant bride before she ever slipped into her incredible gown.

For a year and a half, they had been dreaming of starting their marriage under a sprawling oak tree. So, as the leaves caught of occasional raindrop, that was exactly what they did.

There were build-your-own LEGO people place card holders for the cocktail hour, and for the reception — let’s just say things were pretty exciting. It isn’t every wedding that has a T-Rex presiding over the dance floor!

  5. Laura Dion says:

    I am a bit biased, but it was a terrific wedding, one of the best! Love filled the air and dancing filled the dance floor, and Laura and Danny captured the emotions so perfectly!

  6. Kevin says:

    I don’t know that I would call Sabrina stopping me from kissing her during the ceremony *recoiling*, but I’m glad she was paying attention! And I’m glad everyone got a laugh out of it. We had such a blast with you two and the pictures are perfect!

    • Laura Yang says:

      Kevin, this is Danny replying. I chuckled a little when I read about Sabrina’s “recoil”. It was definitely a reluctant recoil, if a recoil at all! More of a “dodge”. 🙂 Thanks so much for being an awesome couple and for having such an amazing day planned out. We thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with you all!

  7. Mary Chung Chen says:

    Beautiful pictures and the photographer did an amazing job capturing your memories! Congratulations!

  8. Tracy Dion says:
