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 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! :)

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!

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!

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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
