together
I help dating, engaged, and married couples grow in their faith and make wise, peace-filled decisions aligned with their Catholic values.
Don't Go This Road Alone.
Many couples are overwhelmed with wedding planning and don’t take time to enjoy the process of building a strong foundation for their marriage.
But marriage is a sacred union, designed by God for the couple’s joy and His glory.
I believe that whether you’re dreaming about a marriage with someone you haven’t met yet, or you just got back from your honeymoon—navigating this season (and your relationship) doesn’t have to be complicated. That’s why I create resources that guide you to quiet your mind and dive into your faith daily.
My online resources help you grow in your faith and feel less alone as you prepare for marriage. (They’re the digital equivalent of me sitting across from you on the couch, giving you a gentle arm squeeze as we talk about living out your vows.)
My comprehensive wedding photography services come with personalized support to help you navigate your engagement season.
And my Catholic marriage podcast, Becoming Gold, speaks to you, big-sister-style, no matter where you are in your relationship journey.
we were meant to live out marriage with the support of our community.
I’m a wedding photographer, writer, and—most importantly—a devout Catholic and loving wife. Yes, I’m obsessed with Taylor Swift’s entire music catalogue, but when it comes down to it, my relationship with Jesus is my number one.
I spend my days serving up sunshine and truth to my clients as they walk through their engagement and wedding planning season, then delivering a magical day-of photography experience and timeless, true-to-life photos.
In between all that, I’m dreaming up and developing resources for Catholic women (and men) at every stage of life to help them prepare for and find joy in the Sacrament of Marriage.
My calling started during a photography class at university, where I (and all my friends/de facto photo subjects) realized I came alive with a camera in my hand. That led me to wedding photography, where I collected years of insight & wisdom around marriage prep, wedding planning, and the sacrificial love relationships require.
Based in Dallas, TX, I travel to photograph weddings across the USA & Canada, bringing reverence, encouragement, and a little bit of sparkle to every celebration. When I’m away from my desk & cameras, you can find me reading, cooking, going to Adoration with my husband, Brandon, or snuggling my friends’ babies.

Meet Laura-Anne
"I KNEW I COULD TRUST MY PRIORITIES WITH HER.
She was honestly somebody I would have wanted to be there with us all day, even if she hadn’t been holding a camera. It was such a breath of fresh air to have her around, making sure that the focus was on us, that we were taken care of. She had taken such intentional time to learn what our priorities were, and then made sure to make that happen and to capture those things.”
let's work together
Gratitude is essential in every season.
LOOK FOR LIFE’S GOLDEN MOMENTS.
Whether in photos or the Sacrament of Marriage, I believe that God is a God of beauty, and we honour Him when we notice and celebrate His design.
SEEK BEAUTY.
Fulfillment isn’t found in surface-level happiness— it’s found in becoming gold in the Refiner’s fire.
KEEP THE FOCUS ON ETERNAL THINGS.
There’s no reason to hurry. We can expect God to fill the gaps we leave for Him.
LEAVE INTENTIONAL MARGIN.
I take my Catholic faith seriously (without taking myself too seriously).
BE REVERENT.
Faith is the core value of my core values.
I’m not shy about the things that matter to me.
“LAURA-ANNE CAPTURES MOMENTS THAT TELL A STORY AND BRING TO LIFE THE RAW AND MANY EMOTIONS OF A WEDDING DAY.
With Laura-Anne being Catholic, she understands and has a deep appreciation of the Mass. Her ability to photograph this with reverence sets her apart from any other photographer I have witnessed at a wedding. I knew Laura was great at what she does, and I could put 100% trust in her to deliver at our wedding!”
