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.

She's the best
Laura was brilliant from start to finish. We first had our engagement shoot in the autumn, which was a lot of fun and produced the most beautiful candid photos. Then on our wedding day in the summer Laura felt like a close friend, bringing joy, making us laugh, involving the guests and checking people were OK... she really added to the fun atmosphere and the resulting photos were STUNNING. Communication throughout was brilliant. I cannot recommend Laura highly enough.

Great from the start and the best wedding pics
From the moment we first spoke to Laura, we knew we’d made the right choice. Her clear and open communication from the start made the whole process stress-free. She took the time to understand our vision and explained everything so well that we felt completely confident about what to expect. When it came to the quality of the photos, we were blown away. Laura has an incredible talent for capturing not just moments, but the emotions behind them. Every image feels alive, full of joy and love. There are so many standout shots—it’s impossible to pick a favorite! The sheer number of beautiful photos we received far exceeded our expectations, and they truly tell the story of our day. On the wedding day, Laura was a dream to work with. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about her—many told us, "Your photography is off the charts! You’ve captured so much emotion and joy, all while being fun, engaging, and respectful." She was incredibly sensitive to those who are camera-shy, putting everyone at ease and somehow making us all look amazing. Her warm and friendly personality added so much to the atmosphere. We cannot recommend Laura highly enough! If you’re looking for a photographer who’s professional, talented, and truly cares about making your wedding unforgettable, Laura is the one. Thank you so much for giving us such beautiful memories to look back on—it means the world to us. ❤️

Amazing photographer!
What can I say?! If you are looking for a wedding photographer hire Laura immediately. She was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Our first meeting with Laura was over zoom and as soon as the meeting was over, me and my now husband looked at each other and just went "yes!" Laura is so friendly and personable as well as being absolutely professional. She really knows her stuff and she clearly loves what she does. Communication with Laura was always so easy and timely. Laura knew all the right questions to ask ahead of the day such as, what our important photos were and what were we most looking forward to about the day. I loved how personal Laura made the photos on the day but also all of the meetings we had with her leading up to the wedding. It really isn't just about churning out wedding after wedding for Laura, she makes it incredibly personal and is so invested in what she is doing. On the actual day Laura made everyone feel so at ease and all our guests commented on how impressed they were with her. Then our photos arrived and we just couldn't be happier with the outcome. Laura made sure to get shots of everyone and there are so many wonderful moments that capture everything about the day that was important to us. We will really cherish the photos forever. I really recommend hiring Laura for your wedding photography.

An unforgettable day!
We cannot describe how perfect Laura made our day. It was full of laughter and joy which made our day so memorable for us! Laura helped us way before the wedding, she made us feel so calm and organised in the most relaxed way. We love Laura will be recommending to everyone we know!

Laura is an angel
If you want a photographer who becomes like family, captures your special day perfectly and makes you feel absolutely amazing then Laura is your person. She is unbelievably talented and captured our wedding day better then I could have ever imagined. Laura had photographed my sisters wedding 2 years ago and as soon as I got engaged she was the first person we booked, she helped with finding our venue and was there whenever I needed a cheerleader, a hair touch up, a friend and an unbelievable photographer. We cannot thank her enough she is the best. We love you! Love The Stoners 😅

Laura is a photography Goddess!
Honestly couldn't be happier with our wedding photographer Laura, she was absolutely amazing. All of our guests loved her as well. She instantly made me feel at ease on the day and you can really tell how much she cares about the Bride and family of the wedding. Her care and support leading up to the wedding was endless as well. If your'e having bridesmaid issues, dress problems or family politics she's a great ear. She really helped me to pick myself back up in a tough time of planning. When we were looking through our gallery of photos we were blown away by the quality of them. Laura captured so many moments that made me laugh and cry. Going through our gallery was like reliving the day all over again. I would without a doubt recommend Laura to every Bride and Groom. She in no doubt the best photographer I have ever met.

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!

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
