event photography that captures the heart & soul of your celebration

There is a commonality in the milestones that we celebrate but it’s how we choose to recognise them that makes them our own.

Whether you’re planning a small intimate gathering to christen your child, or rounding up all of your friends and relatives for a big first birthday bash, a professional event photographer can help you capture it all.

My event photography is for the big and for the small. It’s for the smiles as you laugh with friends, the togetherness of a song and the mums and dads who both want to be in the shot.

These are the moments that form your family. The narrative of your lives. Capture them.

who loves capturing…

your milestones & special events

It’s a well told story that the event that you plan for months and months passes in the blink of an eye. You want to enjoy the moment. Chat to your guests. Be present in the celebrations. But, before you know it the photo opportunity has passed. Or, you’re so caught up taking the photos that you’re not in a single one of them. 

You could let the moment slip by, or you could invest in professional event photography and have your event captured with love, while you enjoy your day.

what to expect when you invest in me to capture your event

I move through your event with a quiet purpose, capturing the real moments as they unfold. The laughter during a toast. A quiet hug between generations. The joyful chaos of kids running underfoot.

You won’t need to chase people for photos or try to be everywhere at once. I’ll catch the little details you carefully planned, and the ones you didn’t even see happening. And yes, you’ll be in the photos too, not behind the camera trying to document it all.

After the event, I’ll help you choose the best way to relive it all—whether that’s a set of prints or a slideshow that brings it all flooding back.

Because these aren’t just photos. They’re memories, made visible.

Kind Words

from happy clients
Laura did the photography for my son’s first birthday celebrations, and she captured the event beautifully! Laura was super friendly, easy to deal with and flexible. She was also fantastic with the babies. I would highly recommend Laura for event photography. We were able to enjoy the celebration and not worry about taking photos on the day. Thanks so much Laura!
