“ I was brought to tears on the first watch of the wedding video Laurel produced for us and still searching for words to describe it in totality. The first thing that comes to mind is her videos are what memories feel like, she captured our wedding in a way nobody else could have.”
My approach
‘Trusting the moments that feel like twinkles.’
No awkward posing. No cheese. I’m inspired by the cozy / sweet / funny / weird / heart-warming love you share, because that’s the good stuff.
On your wedding day, I like to let things unfold naturally. I’m discreet and bring an unobtrusive amount of equipment. In essence I’ll film your wedding from the inside, where the small, candid moments are as important and beautiful as the big ones.
get to know me
I’ve been creating wedding films full-time for 8 years.
My style isn’t ‘traditional’ in the world of wedding videography, and I’m grateful to be able to connect with so many awesome couples who are seeking that ‘something different.’
My entry into filmmaking was music video and narrative direction. My short films have played at dozens of festivals, including the San Francisco International Film Festival. My music videos have premiered on NPR Music and Interview Magazine.
I grew up in Indiana, studied filmmaking in college at Northwestern University, and currently live in Boulder, Colorado.
I have 36 much-loved houseplants. When I first bring a new plant home, I assign it a really adorable and fitting name... then promptly forget it. After 35 forgotten namings, only one has stuck: my beloved rattail cactus, 'Wookie.'
During wedding off-season you’ll find me traveling, grooving to live music, crafting mixed-media art installations, and debating for the hundredth time whether to adopt a fluffy cat.
As seen in VOGUE, THE NEW YORK TIMES, STYLE ME PRETTY & more.
“Laurel’s work will take your breath away. She captures you and your day with more beauty than you ever thought possible. Her presence is easy and unobtrusive, and she truly has a gift for capturing the essence of each person...”
