Laura Meyer Photography

Laura and her team were professional, talented, and a pleasure to work with. Our photos are timeless and quite literally works of art. They spend the entire day with us and helped plan the venues for the photographs before the reception and wedding. We received our pictures in a timely fashion and they looked great. Best photographer in Chicago!!!

I walked away from my wedding feeling that Laura Meyer is a friend. You can tell that she truly cares about the subjects in her photographs and enjoys her career. The engagement pictures we took with Laura in May were absolutely beautiful and we are still receiving compliments! Also, we received two preview photos just hours after our wedding on 9/3/11, and they are phonemonal! Everyone should use Laura's services for any special event in their life! A million more stars!

Laura has been the official event photographer for my very large scale, high-end culinary event, Share Our Strength's Taste of the Nation Chicago, for the last 3 years. In my 15 years working in charity events for many of Chicago's top nonprofit organizations (and with many event photographers), I can say honestly that Laura's photographs are the best I've seen. Her attention to detail, fantastic intuition (capturing every perfect moment) and professionalism ensures that I have the highest quality images to present to sponsors, donors, society pages and the media at large. I'm sure any bride would enjoy and benefit from the same skill and talent for capturing her most important day. We recommend her very enthusiastically as one of Chicago's best!

My husband and I were married in August 2011 and had the perfect day … and I attribute that to our vendors, particularly Laura Meyer! Laura was great to work with from the moment we first met during a consultation appointment , on the wedding day and now- four months later. There were a couple of bumps during the day of the wedding (i.e. limo drivers trying to rush things due to time, a missing toss bouquet, etc.) and Laura was a lifesaver helping out with everything! I was astonished. While she is one amazing photographer, she went above and beyond the call of duty helping to make the day go great.

Her personality, professionalism, flexibility and ability to make things happen were more than we could have ever asked for. After having someone that I would rate as 5-stars I would expect to have moths coming from my wallet, but her prices are very reasonable, making the overall experience even that much greater.

We chose not to hire a videographer for our wedding day- hoping the photos would be enough to capture our day- and I am completely happy with that decision. Laura, and her assistant Kate, truly captured every moment and emotion of the day in such a stunning way. Having a picture of a memory is one thing, but her pictures speak louder than words! They are priceless!

While we haven’t gotten our photo album (completely my fault because I am super busy and slacking at looking through the one Laura developed a couple of months ago--- she’s great with follow-up and I am giving myself a deadline of Feb.1!) we have seen all of the photos and there isn’t one we didn’t like, and I know that I will love the finished product. The pictures are completely gorgeous and blew me away. I have also received the same feedback from friends and family. I’ve had colleagues that weren’t even at the wedding that have been raving about the photos Laura posted on her blog for four months now!

Hands down, we couldn’t have asked for a better photography team to deal with or better photos. Everything was perfect. I can honestly say that Laura Meyer was a blessing in disguise and we thank her so much!!!

Laura is amazing, so easy to work with and accommodating. Her website is great too!

Laura is an excellent photographer and very professional. If you are looking for something different for your wedding, nothing cheesy and very modern, this is for you. Laura is so cute and so fun that she makes you enjoy more your wedding. Chris, her assistant is very nice and did a great job too.
The photos she took in our wedding are stunning!

Laura Meyer exceeded our expectations and are very pleased with her professional services. The quality of her photography albums and photographs are excellent.

She was always available to answer any questions or to help us in any way that she could. She has a very artistic eye in photography which is why we hired her - but she can also take regular photographs for the more traditional folks (especially for the picky parents).

Her prices are reasonable since you do deal with her more than the average wedding photographer.

I seriously believe that Laura Meyer Photography will grow as a very successful company!

Will re-hire her for family pictures.

LMP is FANTASTIC! We are still getting compliments on our photos. Not only did my husband and I love working with Laura, but she and her assistant made the entire family and wedding party love working with them also. Laura was so flexible in scheduling our engagement session. And when it came time to make decisions about book layouts, she was always willing to send along samples and suggestions. Absolutely the most painless process in the whole wedding. We would recommend LMP to any- and everybody.

Laura and Christina were wonderful to work with. They were very flexible with our ten million schedule changes we had throughout our wedding planning. My wife and I were celebrating our 10 year marriage with a renewal of vows and since it was such a landmark for us, we wanted to make sure we hired the best, which is why we chose Laura Meyer.

They were prompt with their arrival, very professional, and offered great suggestions when we were in a bind. We felt bad because the family pictures took longer than expected but again, Laura was very patient and was able to get the job done. I would recommend Laura to anyone that is thinking of choosing a photographer that actually has the field experience that she does.

Thanks again for making our day memorable,
BJ&Jen

I loved working with Laura and it was great that there were so many photographers at our wedding and reception, I felt that every moment was captured. :) It was a wonderful experience. :)

Our pictures are AMAZING! Every special moment was beautifully captured. There are so many pictures we love.

I found Laura by googling "Wedding Photographers in Oakbrook, IL". When I came across her website, I thought her pictures were amazing and she had the exact style I was looking for... candid, unique, and creative. When I inquired for more information, I at first decided I shouldn't meet with her because her packages were over my budget. That's when I met with the Fred Fox, Jolie Images, and Modern Studio's... all, mind you, are exactly the same. Great looking prices, but everything you'd obviously want would end up being extra in cost making them actually really expensive. So, I decided to meet with Laura because I decided she had what I was looking for and when it comes down to it, pictures are all that is left over after this amazingly quick day. I adored her personality immediately and thought she'd get the bridal party into the pictures and do an amazing job. She also INCLUDES every thing you would obviously want in all of her packages which I realized makes her really affordable and well worth it. We had 2 photographers, 10 hours, 3 albums (ours and 2 for our 2 sets of parents), and the CD with all of our proofs. She did such an amazing job with every thing, we couldn't be happier! Thanks Laura!

Laura photographed my 5/22/10 wedding in Lombard, IL and she was an absolute joy to work with. I am one of those brides who does not like having her picture taken and Laura made the whole process effortless and fun. She was organized and was able to wrangle my large wedding party and extended family in and out of shots effortlessly. I'd never had professional photography taken before and her work is truely amazing; I keep hearing from friends and family how beautiful and natural we all looked. She listened to our requests, got the shots we wanted yet was unobtrusive so we could really have a good time at our party. Laura is professional, organized and a breeze to work with. Her website is excellent and easy to navigate. I would highly recommend her for any occaision as she is excellent at her art and delivered an exceptional product. Thank you Laura!

Laura was professional, courteous and patient. She has a photojournalistic approach and creates the most beautiful, artistic pictures. She uses another photographer, so you�ll get great pictures from all different angles. Her prices are extremely competitive and she also includes a free engagement session with her packages. She met with us several times before the wedding to get to know us and to get a feel for the style of photography we liked. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photojournalistic approach.

We loved working with Laura. She met all of our needs and was very flexible. Her price was great.

Laura was incredible! She is easy to work with, creative, responsive, professional and INCREDIBLY talented! Laura was the first wedding vendor we booked (even before our venue!) and was by far the best money we spent! We were blown away with our engagement picture which Laura was so SUPER flexible to reschedule twice due to in-climate weather on our first 2 attempts! and even though we were literally running through the rain by the end of them, Laura was laughing and having fun the whole way. Then I opted to do a boudoir session with her, which is NOT an easy thing to just do...and again, Laura made me feel so comfortable, not self conscious and like a darn rock star! And of course on our wedding day, when my husband and I (and Laura, too!) decided to drag our bridal party of 10 to Millennium Park, the Wrigley Building, La Salle Street and Wicker Park for pictures before our 5pm ceremony, Laura and her Assistant Christina just made it happen with amazing pictures to show for it! My family and friends still talk about how amazing our wedding photography is! She is competitively priced and worth any money spent as her talent FAR Exceeds her price tag! Not to mention she's just an awesome person to be around!

Our engagement and wedding pictures are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! I cannot even begin to count the amount of compliments I have gotten on both! Wedding pictures last a life time, and I can't believe mine are so beautiful and will be outstanding for a lifetime!!

Laura did a wonderful job with our wedding and engagement photo sessions! I couldn't have asked for any better. She was very flexible and also gave us some great ideas to help make all of our pictures just right. She has a great eye and does not just do the "cookie cutter" type wedding photography that some of the larger studios tend to produce. She was very professional throughout the entire process and she completed our proofs for both sessions very quickly. I have not heard of anybody getting their wedding proofs or albums finished as quickly as ours was done. I would recommend Laura to anyone looking for a photographer!

Laura was absolutely fantastic to work with. From the moment we met her, we knew she would be the perfect person to capture our personalities on our wedding day. Laura was easy to get contact throughout the process and went above and beyond to make sure our engagement and wedding photos were perfect. We could not be happier with the results and have gotten many, many compliments on our photos. Her style combines traditional photos with modern perspectives. We had such a hard time picking photos for our album because there were too many great ones to choose from.

Laura was AMAZING! She was so easy to work with. She was responsive through the whole process. She provided suggestions and accomodated all of our requests. She and her assistant were so great to work with the day of the wedding. Most importantly, the photos are incredible. There are so many great ones we're having a hard time picking our favorites. We couldn't be happier. We would definitely recommend Laura and look forward to working with her on family photos in the future.

Laura was wonderful at our wedding! She was warm, caring and flexible. I would recommend her to everyone.

I would recommend Laura to everyone!!!!

Laura was amazing! She was professional, flexible, and reliable. She made me feel comfortable from day one. She was very positive and upbeat. Most importantly, She was incredibly talented. Our wedding pictures turned out amazing!

Laura is amazing and her assistant was just as friendly and as a team they really captured the personalities of my husband and I on our big day. The only complaint I have is that her pictures are so beautiful it was nearly impossible to choose prints and pics for our album. I felt like the most beautiful bride with the most handsome groom and laura really made us look perfect. I will use her in the future and will beg my friends and family to use her for their events. She is a wonderful person too.

I was so pleased with my photos. It was exactly what I wanted. Laura retold our wedding with her photos. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Laura was extremely professional, relaxed and personable makeing our day fly by. She does exceptional work and offers great deal for all that you get, Her photography style is awesome she captured all of our memories perfectly. Our fun and candid shots showed the energy of the wedding but always kept someone in focus, their was not a single picture that I was disappointed in. I would recommend her for any wedding no matter how big or small. I will use Laura in the future for family portraits or any other significant events that my husband and I come across.

We loved Laura! Even though she only had a few years of professional experience you would never know it. Her passion for photography really stood out amongst many of the candidates I was interviewing for my wedding. Laura is outgoing, personable and a great listener. She meet every need we had and went above and beyond several times. The quality and style of her photos were fantastic. Her pricing is right now and a good selection of packages. She responded quickly to all my emails and came to my place of business to meet with me since I have trouble getting out of work. Our photos were available for our guests to view in under 2 weeks and she sent us (included in our package) a copy of our wedding disk within 6 weeks. I would highly recommend Laura Meyer Photography for any occasion. We can't wait to use her services again once we have a baby!

Laura Meyer Photography MADE my wedding! She was so AWESOME to work with! In a time when planning is taking you over, she is the most responsive and accomodating professional I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She is creative, fun, and her work is amazing. I cannot say enough about her. I have heard and seen horror stories about wedding photographers. My friend that was married in September of 2007 still has not received her album. Laura and a quick return! Even with the gazillion weddings she does, Laura was so quick getting everything squared away. She does amazing slideshows too!
I am so pleased with her services. I wish I could tell every couple getting married to seek her out, you WILL NOT be sorry. I love her, she has become a friend and the ONLY photographer I will use in the future!

I would definitely recommend Laura Meyer Photography. Laura was great to work with. We are so happy with how the pictures turned out. We had a wonderful experience.

Laura Meyer was absolutely wonderful. The search to find a good photographer who would capture the memories of our special day was over as soon as we talked with her. The photos were amazing and our expectations were not only met but greatly exceeded. The care and quality visible in her work is exceptional. With an artistic and journalistic approach resulted in the most wonderful photos. Many compliments from guests as well on how professional and available Laura was throughout the wedding and reception. I would highly recommend this photographer.

We had a sort of strangely timed wedding day. The wedding was at city hall in the morning and the reception that evening. We wanted photographs of both events but there was about 5 hours in between we didn't need photographs. Laura was spectacularly flexible and never made us feel as if we were asking too much of her. Not to mention the value for the quality of her services.

Outstanding professionalism and unique creative approach to capture an important event in our life

My experience with Laura Meyer Photography was fantastic. Laura was very organized and made sure that everything on my "shot list" was addressed. I look back and truly feel that the time spent with Laura and her assistant was like spending time with a familiar friend. I could not have been more blessed having someone as personable as her photographing my wedding! Her packages are very reasonable...especially considering you are getting two photographers! And she even offers the option of selling you your proofs so you can reprint at your convenience. After the wedding, Laura produced my online proofs in less than one month. Not to mention she is great with follow-up...always making sure that everything I received makes me happy!

If there was an Above & Beyond Exceptional for Quality of Service, Professionalism and Value for Cost, I definitely would have chosen the *+!! Laura Meyer is a perfect blend of Professionalism & Friendly.

Laura was an absolute pleasure to work with, and our pictures are beautiful! I have recommended her to several of my friends for both weddings and family portraits. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. Photography was one of the things that I would not compromise on for our wedding, and I'm glad that I didn't. There may be less expensive options out there, but I have seen the difference in quality and customer service from using Laura as opposed to some of the less expensive photographers my friends have used.

Laura and her assistant were wonderful from the planning to creating the album. Laura is very professional, patient and just a kind person. We are both camera shy, but she put us at ease and captured our wedding beautifully. The value of her package and quality of her work could not compete with any other company. For a very fair price we received all of the extras that other companies charge much more for. I couldn't be happier with our photography.

We could not have been more happy with our experience with Laura Meyer Photography. Laura was extremely flexible in designing a photography package that would fit our needs. She was completely professional throughout the entire process - she was quick to respond to inquiries, offered options and ideas, and worked to fit our budget. The day of the shoot, she quickly put us at ease with her friendly and thoughtful demeanor, and we actually enjoyed the process. Most importantly, Laura is an excellent photographer. The images she captured were unique and stunning. I am still in awe of the results!

Laura was very friendly and easy to work with; she returned the photos quickly. Everything was as described int he contract.

Laura and Christina did our wedding. They were both extremely easy to work with and very organized. Laura is quick to respond to emails and phone calls.

The only negative thing I have to say is that in some of the pictures she got us in not such a flattering way. I'm not sure if thats because we're not photogenic or what but some of the pictures that I looked nice in my husband had a weird look on his face and visa versa.

Laura is fantastic! She was very professional and very receptive to our ideas. We LOVE our wedding photos!

Excellent photographer, able to help make my wedding day special, fixed any problems and promptly returned calls, emails, etc.

We really enjoyed working with Laura. She was very flexible and responsive to our needs. We loved getting to know her during our complimentary engagement session before the wedding. We were also grateful for her assistant. The package options were great. We ended up ordering the CD of all photos taken, which was perfect for our needs. There were plenty of wonderful photos to add to make our album and share with friends. The only thing we would recommend is that if you order the CD, pick out photos for Laura to edit. We weren't able to edit the photos once we had them, and wished that some had been edited.

Laura was an excellent photographer who met all of my expectations, I would refer her to all my friends.

Fantastic photos, great flexibility, and willingness to meet our timeframe.

Laura was one of the most professional and easy to work with vendors we hired for our wedding last year. From the moment we first met with her we were impressed with her calm demeanor and knowledge. She was very easy to work with throughout the process including album design. Laura always responded to emails quickly and arrived nice and early to both our engagement session and on the day of our wedding.

The one thing that disappointed me a little that I should have communicated more to Laura after our engagement session was the amount of direction she provided. We are not used to being photographed and a lot of pictures were good but not great and one correction to a pose or some small thing would have made for a great shot. This was less of a problem in our wedding pictures but is such a tiny thing that could have helped.

That said I would highly recommend Laura and love the pictures she took for us! Our album turned out better than I could ever imagine and she really did a great job of putting us at ease and making us photograph better than we normally do.

Laura's Photography is amazing. All of her pictures capture every special moment. From classic to quirky she will be great for your wedding!

I can not say enough things about Laura! I had the pleasure of working with Laura and her assistant Chris just this past weekend, and they were fabulous! On time (they actually arrived early), and they stayed on top of things throughout the evening. I would highly recommend Laura to anyone!

I worked wiht Laura back in October of 2009. She is super nice, well organized, and a great photographer! I love looking at her photo's on her website. I would definetly recommend her to anyone.

I love Laura Meyer's work. She captures the emotion of the day. Looking through her work is like living the day again with all the details you never want to forget. The quality and artistry of her work sets her apart and the professionalism and integrity with which she runs her business is refreshing. I highly recommend Laura Meyer and always look forward to an opportunity to work with her.

Laura's great! She's got a lot of energy and a great sense of humor. I shoot video and I got along with her immediately. She works hard and I like her creativity ! Photos are important part of your wedding, I would certainly recommend working with Laura.
