Hi, I’m Laura!

Intentional. Heartfelt. Detail-Oriented. People Person.

As an Arizona wedding photographer, I document love stories across the west coast and beyond, bringing experience rooted since 2014 and a calm, steady presence to one of life’s most meaningful days. Guided by intuition and a deep understanding of people, I balance gentle direction with space to simply be — so you can breathe, stay present, and truly live your wedding day while your memories unfold naturally through emotional, story-driven photography.

Laura is the most photographer I've ever worked with! I've been maid of honor, bridesmaid, guest, and bride. Laura is by far the best photographer there is! First of all, she is incredibly organized. She is flexible with planning, her energy is top tier. She always brings the smile and energy. She helped us pose and organized both of our families which was sooooo helpful. Every single picture she delivered is perfect for both our engagement shoot and wedding. We will for sure be using Laura for anytime we want professional pictures. Worth every single penny. Nothing more important than pictures from our wedding day. She captured us perfectly with all our friends and family

Sierra & Brian

Working with Laura for our wedding was a dream from start to finish, I can't say good enough things about her and her work. She is kind, prompt, and great at communication. Laura is so easy to get along with and she treated us so well as customers! We added on their 360 photo booth and it was a huge hit at the wedding, highly recommend! The photos she took all came back absolutely stunning, better than I could have imagined! I have a few of them up on my wall already. You really can't go wrong choosing Raw By Laura for your wedding photography, working with her is an amazing experience and you get beautiful photos out of it in the end. 10/10 extremely recommended.

stress-free”

Laura is absolutely amazing! First of all, her work is amazing!! With a gallery of 400 photos - it is impossible to even begin picking favorites because every photo is just so beautiful. I absolutely love Laura's photography style and her artistic eye. We are so, so happy with how our wedding photos turned out. But more than just her beautiful photography, Laura is incredible to work with. She is great at maintaining a comfortable environment to take photos. As someone who isn't the most comfortable in front of the camera, I appreciated that. There was even one moment during our couples photos that she paused to check in with us, asking how we were doing or if we needed to take a break. She made sure she captured every moment, and did it beautifully. We are so grateful!!
