Ok, I'm just gonna get straight to the point. There are way too much to rave about Laura and her…read moreteam that if I listed out everything, they won't fit within the word limit. For those who are looking for a wedding photographer, here's why you need Laura: 1) Flawless Execution One of the MOST IMPORTANT lessons I learned from wedding planning is that the on-the-day execution trumps any portfolio. Wedding photography is a completely different ball game from studio photography and unfortunately, many of the current "wedding photographers" fall in the second category. It's easy to set up the perfect lighting, line up the perfect angle, and set up the perfect pose for a "perfect shot" (and even apply the perfect filter afterwards). That's studio photography and anyone can do that given a good camera. Wedding photography, on the other hand, is about capturing the moments. It's about having the instinct and the experience to capture those split seconds, those candid moments, and knowing how to respond to those unexpected events (which happens at every wedding). Laura's execution is flawless, which comes from her extensive resume and attention to details. Her efficiency is off the chart. That's how she can crank out 3,000 pics (while others can only do 800) w/o compromising quality. 2) Excellent Support Team All of the packages comes with 2 photographers + 1 "assistant", with Laura being the lead photographer most of the time. However, the rest of the team is superb as well (unlike other studios that just grab some complete newbie). Everyone on the team has their own photography studio, including the "assistant". Our second photographer actually charges more than Laura does at her own studio! How Laura can get her as a second photographer is beyond my understanding. So essentially, you're getting 3 professional photographers. What a deal! Each photographer has his/her distinct on-the-day roles. Laura is in charge of constantly following the couple, period. The second photographer is in charge of the guests, all the candid moments, and setup for some artistic studio shots. Everyone is professionally dressed and communicated well. With 3 photographers, you can easily get 100% coverage of the entire wedding. As a cherry on top, Laura personally processes some pics immediately after the wedding (usually past midnight) and will have a sneak peak of about 70 pics ready before the morning. 3) Contagious Personality Laura loves weddings. She genuinely loves weddings and helping brides, and her excitement is contagious. She's much more than just a photographer that you hire for one day. My wife and I have gained a friend though the process. I would recommend Fairytale and Laura to everyone looking for a true wedding photographer. I've gone to many weddings over the past few years and I can confidently say that no one came anywhere close to the level of execution that Laura had. You know... those "in your face" photographers who get good shots but ruins the moment; those scrappily dressed photographers who looks like they hate their jobs; those studio photographers that takes 5 mins to set up each shot; yeah... you don't want them at your wedding day. You want Laura at your wedding.

As a pro makeup artist I had worked with Stefani on a few photo shoots…read more I had to get some new branding pictures for my cosmetics business. I know many photographers. Hey my boyfriend is a great one! He and I both agreed that Stefani would capture the best images of the real me... and she did! Stefani has that wonderful combination of being focused, seeing the moment for the perfect shot, and still making you feel relaxed and playful. She is a real pro. Can't wait to work with her again!

Are you looking for an excellent photographer who:…read more - takes great pride in their work - effectively communicates and suggests different poses, angles, and areas that you wouldn't have thought of yourself - will go the extra mile to, not only capture your wedding, but capture your beautiful family, friends, and guests - Incredibly understanding, flexible, and all-around team player THEN YOUR ETERNAL SEARCH IS OVER!! LOOK NO FURTHER. Seriously, she's the best. My wife and I can't speak any higher about Stefani. But, to understand this praise you need to understand a little more about myself and my wife. I am a frugalist (some one argue cheapskate), who doesn't often write reviews (it's too cumbersome) and, in retrospect, had some pretty lofty expectations for all of our vendors ( i mean, who doesn't?! It's your big day). But enough with the basic, fluffy adjectives...Here are some specific EXAMPLES: - Trying to save some money, we opt-ed for no engagement photos, but then had some excruciating circumstances happen with our family and changed our mind. We must have gone back and forth 3x with Stefani, but each time she was very patient, flexible, and understanding. Not to mention, we made her drive back from Vegas early just for our photoshoot (yes, we were quite demanding) - Not only was she flexible with the timing and style of our engagement photos, but she was such a team player. The site of our photos might have been closed, but she was willing to jump the fence just to make this happen. Who doesn't love a bad@$$ with such passion and fervor?! - We wanted a group photo of all of our guests (+150 ppl). This girl was willing to stand on a bunch of wobbly, stacked boxes just to get the perfect shot. And that she did - We wanted very specific full length shots. Stefani not only took that feedback, but would also suggest other angles that ultimately turned out gorgeous! We especially love the empty reception ballroom shot with the flying veil that she captured (see attached) And last but not least, she wasn't like your other shameless vendors who beg and solicit for Yelp reviews in return for deals. This review is solely because I can't stop raving about how great Stefani was/is/will be. As for your other vendors...yeah, good luck with that. :)

My husband was so thrilled to know she was shooting the wedding also for we already now had a relationship with her. We love our pictures and will use her services for many years to come!!!

With that said, I'm never prepared when it comes to having poses in mind when I book an appointment with Leslie. The blessing is that she's so technical and detail-oriented, that she can coach me through my poses so that I look like someone who is confident and photographed often. She's very easy to be around and to do business with. Because I know a few of her mutual friends, I can say that as a person, she surrounds herself with people who have good intentions. Know that you can trust her with your child(ren), your teenager, or any other close family member and she will do a great job!

Eh. I wish I would've picked a different newborn…read morephotographer. Aimee was really, really nice when I initially spoke with her. After I put my deposit down I felt like her attitude changed. Trying to look for the word.. condescending maybe? And just not genuinely nice. It was like I dealt with two different people. What really made me upset, was when she told me that my family and I could go across the street to have a drink while she photographed my newborn son. I was reluctant to leave, but thought maybe she would be more comfortable if I left. When we came back, my husband mentioned that was the first time we were without our son since he was born and she said, "yeah I never would've left my baby" WHAT lol. Honestly, I hated the whole session after she tried to mom shame me, and I was ready to get out of there. Then she said another tasteless comment about the way my husband and I looked at each other. At least there were a couple of good pictures. And a couple not so good. We would periodically use my sons bottle to soothe him, and of course his bottle ended up in some of the pictures, didn't bother to tell us to hide it more... Then some of the pictures look tacky because a piece of my hair was out of place and she didn't bother to tell me to fix it. To put simply.. When I looked at my son's newborn book for the first time today, the only thing I could think about was how cringe of an experience we had and how I wish I would've done better research on newborn photographers. Oh well.

I've never done anything like this before and I wasn't sure what to expect from myself, the poses, etc. but it was perfect from start to finish.
