Laura Ellen Photography Full Description
You’re probably overwhelmed with all the wedding information out there, but don’t worry you’re not alone. I’m here to help! I’m Laura – a wedding, couples and lifestyle photographer. Being Sussex-based I’m surrounded with some super gorgeous venues but I’m also very lucky to be able to travel around the UK and overseas too. Photography should reflect the moment and the feelings you had right at that very point. The value of it is precious and it should transport you right back to that time in years to come. If you’re looking for a photographer who does beautiful natural portraits and captures the beauty, the fun, the love and everything in between, then I’m your girl! I work all across the UK and internationally with a base 8hrs cover starting from £1850 (depending on the time of year and distance travelled) with a fixed hourly rate of £250 thereafter.

The best photographer we could have wished for ❤️

I couldn’t recommend Laura enough! First of all her pictures were fantastic - the style was just what we wanted: relaxed, informal and beautifully shot! Having Laura there on the day (and her husband as second photographer!) was a fantastic addition to the day. Not just for the photos, but her support from getting ready all the way through to the dancing. She talked to guests, got everyone in the right place and was in general a calming and delightful presence to be around us on our day. After the wedding Laura shared our pictures with us very quickly, even sending us an early group shot so we could include it in our thank you cards. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Laura is everyone, and wouldn’t have wanted to have our day without her.

Laura was amazing start to finish, we found Laura online and loved her photos. We were unsure if the travel from the South to North was going to be too challenging but Laura was buzzing at the chance to shoot for us at a newly built venue. We discussed all the options over a coffee and Laura made sure we knew exactly what to expect on the day and the build up offering advice throughout if needed. Disaster then stuck with Covid and Laura worked with us with the constant changing of dates, her help and understanding through that time was very needed. Then as for the day, Laura captured everything we wanted and ensured that the end product was perfect! She made us feel super relaxed and was like having a friend with us capturing our special day on camera. We truly can’t recommend Laura enough and the end product obviously speaks for itself. We can’t stop looking at the photos, even a year on!! Thanks again, Dan & Courtney

Thank you so much Laura!

Laura was our photographer on our wedding day and also at our traditional tea ceremony the day before. Before the wedding, we enjoyed chatting to Laura and felt that she really did want to try and get a sense of what we wanted from our photos and what was important to us. On the wedding day, with everyone rushing around trying to get ready, Laura was calm throughout and offered excellent advice on things we didn’t even consider – such as when to take the flowers out of the water so you’re not dripping water all over your dress! She got along with everyone, but I was particularly touched by her kindness towards my mum. Laura’s energy level never seemed to dip during the two days of activities, even with both days involving travelling to multiple venues. You could tell that Laura has a lot of experience of different types of weddings and events, she was unfazed by cousins and uncles also trying to take photos and videos while she was trying to get her shots. She handled everyone firmly but never rudely and with a lot a patience. We really enjoyed having Laura with us on our day. We’ve had our photos back and I’m not a big fan of photos of myself, but even I found a few where I don’t think I look too bad. Thank you Laura!

An incredible experience ❤️

Laura was an absolute gem to have as our wedding photographer. She is SO organised and on point with her directions on the day, all of my family and friends loved her and still rave about her and all the beautiful pictures we received. I cannot thank you enough Laura for making our day so special and capturing the perfect moments - also for going along with our crazy ideas of taking a ferry away from our wedding to get the perfect shots/running for taxis and from rain showers. We would recommend her services 100% to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

The best photographer out there

We absolutely ADORE Laura and her work. We booked Laura because we'd seen first-hand her great work at two other weddings, so we already knew she'd be wonderful. Both before the day and on the wedding day itself Laura was super supportive, encouraging, reassuring, and accommodating. She made us feel so at ease and we're so so happy with our photos. Highly recommend Laura! :)

Wonderful wedding photographer

We weren't able to meet in person before our big day due to distance, but the zoom chats helped answer all of our questions. I was able to trust Laura to create all of the moments we wanted to capture, despite hideous weather all morning. She asked if we wanted to go with her on a mad idea, and I'm so glad we did. Our rainy day photos in the field are truly wonderful. Thank you Laura

Truly exceptional!

Laura is just sensational. She is more than just the perfect wedding photographer. She was a complete comfort for both my husband and I throughout the day; that reassuring and calming presence that makes you feel at ease from the first minute she arrives. Neither of us are keen on having our pictures taken, yet not once did we feel uncomfortable. The natural photos that make the colours of our day pop out of the screen capture perfectly how amazing our day was and we will be forever grateful that we were lucky enough to come across Laura to ensure that the digital memories of our day are as amazing as we could have ever hoped for. Thank you Laura🤍

Perfect wedding photographer

Laura was the perfect combination of making sure to get those classic wedding shots you need and also catching the candid moments that make the event memorable. When giving directions she was fun and casual, taking all the stress out of it. At other times she was perfectly unobtrusive and able to capture more natural photos as the day went on. She was both professional and fun, and as expected, the photos are great with many guests telling us how much they liked them.

The most perfect photographer

We had the pleasure of working with Laura to photograph our wedding, after she was highly recommended to us. Not only is she a fantastic photographer, but helped us through every aspect of planning in the lead up to our big day. On the day itself, Laura and Kelsey were both enthusiastic, energetic and organised and helped keep the day perfectly on track. As well as being incredibly imaginative and creative, she is also compassionate and caring. By the end of it all she feels like your best friend. She definitely helped with keeping us both calm and reassured about every aspect of the wedding. It is hard to put in to words how brilliant both Laura and Kelsey are - they are definitely the unsung heroes – if you are looking for the perfect photographer for your big day, look no further.

Wonderful photographer, highly recommended.

Absolutely amazing, cannot recommend Laura highly enough. She put us at ease from the very first meeting, being so friendly and genuinely excited for our wedding. We knew exactly what to expect ahead of the day. She kept us calm and focused before the ceremony, and we felt so relaxed with her. Laura took us to lots of fun locations in Brighton after the ceremony and made us laugh so hard our cheeks hurt. The photographs we received from Laura are better than we could have imagined, and will let us relive the day for years to come. If you're looking for someone fun, friendly, calm, professional and with a great eye, you won't find anyone better. Thank you Laura!

FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Honestly, there are just too many to mention! Each one has it's own thing - it might be awesome styling, a couple being super playful, a rocking ceilidh, grandad getting you in the face with a bucket of confetti, a heartfelt speech or a simple touching moment with a gran. It's all about the moments that make it memorable to each wedding. :D

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Fun, fresh, creative and authentic with a traditional nod.

What about your business are you most proud of?

That after 11 years in, I still love every wedding I capture and I still get giddy excited with every couple I meet. Every wedding is unique and I love the anticipation that brings because it allows me to capture the day uniquely.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Oh gosh, there are so many! With photography? Meet us beforehand - it makes such a difference to your day and ultimately your images when you get the first meet weirdities out of the way. On the day, trust us and just play - we can take a photo but we need you to bring you...call it a teamwork effort! Generally? Ask your suppliers for advice because they are goldmines of info. For the majority of couples, it's their first time walking down the aisle but a good supplier gets married easily 30+ times a year. They know so much more about what works, what doesn't and what can go wrong!

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Anything that is putting the couple's personal stamp on the day - it's important to make the day truly yours and it makes for great conversation! I've loved gold dinosaur tablecentres, couple outfits with a twist, full on riots of colour throughout, mad ceilidh dancefloors and whisky/cigar bars, to name a few.

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

It's totally traditional but get that group shot of everyone, so you can look back when you're old and recall all the faces and characters that made up your day. It will quickly help evoke memories even beyond your wedding day and that's important.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Acceptance! You can never control it, so run with it, get the brollies out and make something of it as it's all part of your day and your memories. There are always photo opportunities when you least expect them.

Describe how you got into photography.

Once upon a time, we bought an awesome puppy and the rest was history! When we meet, I'll tell you all about it! :D
