Raw By Laura

  • Serves Payson, AZ

My name is Laura and I am bilingual (English/Spanish). I moved to Arizona in the beginning of 2022 from New Jersey. It has been bittersweet to redefine myself in a new state. One thing I absolutely refused to leave behind is my love for photography. I moved here with my husband for a change of speed. It has been such a beautiful change! Just like you, I too am in love with the views Arizona has to offer. I am a nontraditional wedding photographer, I am there for all the feels that come with your big day. The tears, the smiles, the laughs, the dancing... Moody, warm and candid photography. Photos to make you relive the moments later

Laura was amazing! From our first meeting we clicked really well. She was super easy to work with and handled the chaos throughout our wedding very well. We are absolutely obsessed with our photos and will be using her again for any of our future photography needs. She is extremely personable, well spoken, and understanding. Couldn't be more satisfied with our investment in her services.

Cinematic photography and videography that tells your unique love story. As experienced wedding photographers and videographers, and a happily married couple ourselves, we specialize in capturing these magic moments.

Hi, I'm Ricky, owner and lead photographer. Wedding planning doesn't need to be stressful. And you don't have to do it alone. I GOT YOU! You want to enjoy your big day, so I make sure you have time for just the two of you alone and I try to get you back to your cocktail hour as soon as possible so you can enjoy your friends' company. More importantly, I promise through my mix of direction and “fly on the wall” style of photography, you will feel relaxed and excited in front of my lens. All I ask of my couples is to be open-minded, open-hearted, respectful, and unapologetically YOU!! Bottom line, be exactly who you are and I will do the rest.

We hired Ricky - Goodeye Photography - for both our engagement and wedding photos, and holy cow did he blow us away. Hiring him was easily the best decision we made. From start to finish, Ricky was an absolute joy to work with. His professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail made every minute of planning and shooting a wonderful experience. I originally found Ricky on Instagram (@goodeye.photography) and after a quick scroll through his page, I instantly knew he was who we needed. Every photo in his portfolio had emotion and love in them. After finding his Instagram page, I reached out and he very quickly responded with all necessary information. He communicated clearly and quickly throughout this entire process which was very appreciated! I plan events professionally and half the time it’s like pulling teeth to even get a response from someone. Never once did Ricky have a delayed response or leave us with more questions than answers. My husband is what we’d call “camera shy” and was pretty anxious leading up to our engagement shoot as this was his first time getting professional photos done. And while Ricky always behaves in a very professional manner, he also is extremely personable, friendly, and frankly just straight up funny. We instantly connected with him and he made my husband feel so much more relaxed - heck, my husband even had FUN during the shoot which I didn’t think possible haha. It goes without saying that the engagement photos were absolutely stunning… each one better than the last. As the big day drew nearer, Ricky met with us regularly and assisted us in our agenda, timeline, and all these other small details you don’t even think about. On the day of our wedding, Ricky and his team went above and beyond to capture every moment. He has an incredible eye for detail and was able to capture the essence of our day beautifully. (Petition for him to change his name from Good Eye Photography to Incredible Eye Photography ;) After the ceremony was over and it was time for my new husband and I to sneak off during cocktail hour to take our photos, a lovely wedding guest managed to spill red wine all down my white dress. Before I could even flinch, Ricky immediately jumped in and said “Don’t worry, I can edit out these red stains in all the pictures.” One of the BEST parts of working with Ricky is also his quick turnaround time. I wanna say it was like 5 days after the wedding and Ricky had already turned around a handful of “sneak peak” photos - which is quite impressive considering how many other weddings he had booked after ours. And to no ones surprise - there wasn’t a hint of red wine stains in any of the pictures ) Our wedding photos are more than what we could have ever hoped for. I may be biased, but truly some of these pictures deserve to be hung in the Louvre. I cannot recommend Good Eye Photography enough (and on that note it’s worth mentioning that since our engagement photoshoot with Ricky, two of my other friends that were engaged have also hired him and his team for their weddings)! If you are looking for a talented and passionate photographer who will go the extra mile to make your special moments unforgettable and your planning process a breeze, then Ricky is the guy for you.

In 2021 I quit my day job to pursue my long time love of wedding photography full time... and it's extremely safe to say I have no regrets! I've met the most incredible people through this job, and it fills me up knowing I can give what feels like the ultimate creative gift. I come from a small Illinois town with a large extended family and a circle lifelong friends who might as well be blood. My community, the people I love, and the little things that bond us together mean everything to me. Let me help you celebrate you and yours!

Andrea was one of the photographers recommended by our venue (Venue at the Grove) and we couldn’t be happier that we went with her. We knew we were in good hands at our engagement shoot, where she made us feel comfortable and was so fun to work with. I was so happy to see her on my wedding day because it felt like having another friend there with us on our day! Our photos (engagement and wedding) turned out beautiful and are the perfect way to look back on and remember our wedding.

Morgan is a dream to work with! I have been a hairstylist at quite a few weddings and elopements but I honestly get so relieved knowing I get to work with her because she is a radiant and a fun person to be around-- and I believe that kind of energy is so important for a wedding. She is also a lgbtq photographer so you know you will always be in a safe and welcoming environment with her! I have done a handful of weddings with her now (and even have gotten shoots with her myself!) and I can tell how much she cares about her work that she creates because she is so detail oriented. She also has a very creative eye so she can turn your love story into beautiful, intimate works of art that are also timeless in itself! I couldn't recommend her more!

I live in Phoenix, Arizona and I have been active in photography for about 16 years. I began in 2008 with Image Manipulation and other Visual Media. This led me to find a passion for photography. I attended the Art Institute of Phoenix for a degree in Digital Photography. I attended an internship at a local multimedia company in the valley. I have worked as a Professional Photographer since 2016. In 2019 I branched out on my own and created Rose Visual Captures. I enjoy utilizing my craft every single day.

Rose Visual Captures was an absolute pleasure to work with on our wedding day. Reggie and Michael were so nice, fun, excitable and sweet, and they were immediately responsive to all of our needs. Their communication style made the experience truly enjoyable. The quality of their work was amazing, wonderful, spectacular, creative and perfect - they captured all the special moments of our day beautifully. Reggie was amazing at getting everyone together and cooperating, and she and Michael seemed genuinely happy right along with us, which we really appreciated. The prices were a blessing for us, and their work is truly amazing. We couldn't have asked for better wedding photographers.

Hi! My name is Nikholas, I am a wedding and special event photographer based in Arizona. My photography journey started about 8 years ago when I got my first camera as a gift, slowly evolving from a hobby into a passion that I pursue every day. Throughout my journey, I've always felt most drawn to working with people and documenting their emotions. We all live very unique and special lives and being able to capture and share those moments that are so real, so full of pure feeling is...amazing. The best photos are felt, not seen.

Welcome to "We Do Weddings," where love meets artistry, and moments are forever preserved. We're Jared and Quinn, not just business partners, but a couple who share a deep passion for capturing the most cherished memories of your special day. Our journey into the world of wedding photography and videography began as a shared dream—a dream that brought together our love for storytelling, our appreciation for timeless elegance, and our fascination with the candid, unscripted moments that make every love story unique.

We had our engagement photos taken by We Do Weddings and had a great experience. My wife and I weren't set on a good location, but Jared and Quinn had a couple of suggestions and Freestone Park turned out perfect. They also arrived early and had a couple spots in mind to shoot at, which I really appreciated since it was a warm day and that expedited the process. The shoot was casual and surprisingly fun. They worked quickly but we never felt rushed. They gave great direction (including some pictures of what they were looking for at times) which turned out great. We just got the photos back and my wife and I were blown away. They turned out beautifully and we are so happy with them. The entire experience was a joy and the end result was exactly what we were hoping for.

It’s not enough to simply take beautiful photos of people in epic scenery and bring forth their personalities. Nearly every photographer can do that these days. What I think matters most is being an mirror, a witness to people’s small and big moments in their lives and capturing those for them. I want to capture moments and photos that mean something to my clients throughout their lives- the photos they hang on their walls to bring them joy when they are going through a tough time and the photos that bring them comfort at the funerals of their loved ones.

When I’m not with my golden retriever, Rigley, (which is always, since I’m a work-from-home dog mom) adventuring to a new Arizona destination, finding my next favorite taco shop, or trying a new workout, you’ll probably find me in some pretty desert location third-wheeling with super-in-love couples and loving every second of capturing it!

I had a destination wedding so my go to on finding vendors was instagram. As soon as I stumbled on Briquelle’s page I just knew I wanted her take our photos! Her work is so beautiful and matched my aesthetic so well. We had never done any kind of professional photos together and she was great at telling us what to do, to get the best shots and not look awkward. She did our engagement and wedding photos and I’m so in love with all them! She also just started offering videography in her packages as well and we were so lucky to get in on it!

Your wedding isn’t one dimensional, nor should your photos. I believe a great wedding gallery walk the balance between candid and editorial. I know when to step in with direction for stunning shots and when to step back, letting the moment unfold naturally to capture its raw beauty, creating wedding gallery that feel both artfully composed and authentically real.

Escape Party Planning had the privilege of working with Sam at a client’s wedding in their beautiful upscale estate! Sam was such a great energy to have around my clients! As the Event Coordinator, Sam kept me in the loop and informed as to what he needed to give my clients the best shots!

As a husband and wife team, our passion for each other motivates us to capture the same passion of our clients while providing the best experience imaginable!

Cam and Larisa are not only incredible at what they do, they are genuinely just amazing people. They made sure that we were taken care of every step of the planning process and also throughout our wedding day. They made us feel special and amazing. And the sneak peak we’ve received was beyond our expectations. They have gone above and beyond with making sure their product is amazing and delivered on time! We highly recommend Cam and Larisa for photo and video services.

Heyyyy friend! My name is Ashley, and I'm a wedding photographer in Phoenix, Arizona! I travel all over the United States for weddings, and have photographed over 200 weddings since 2010 from Los Angeles to New York. I want to grow old with my couples, so I also offer family sessions as well as high school seniors!

Ashley and Randy were amazing to work with for my small wedding! They were professional and friendly and made us feel like we were old friends just hanging out and having fun with. The Durhams delivered a high quality product well before their deadline, and I can't say enough about how much I love every photo. I'm so glad they do more than just wedding photos, because I can't wait to work with them again!

I am so glad you're looking for someone to capture some special memories in your life! Hopefully, that's me! I am a proud Filipina, dog mom of 3, and an avid TV show binger. I love all forms of art and I try to see the beauty in everything. I moved here from the Philippines in 2017 with my husband, Pat! I started professionally under Picnic Point AZ, my other business, where I would take photos of our customers at our picnics and some product photography for us and some friends. When I'm not shooting or editing, you can find me setting up picnics or hanging out at home with my 3 crazy dogs and husband. I hope I get to meet you!

AJ has been the best since the start, she & her husband are such sweet souls & they made sure we got exactly what we wanted & so much more. Aj was so helpful not just with capturing our moments together but also with helping me plan the schedule for the wedding ( your girl was struggling ) & i will for sure will be booking for future events :)

Hi! I am so happy you are here. My name is Michelle but everyone calls me Shelly. I started photography in early 2022, inspiried and driven to capture intimate moments and love. My journey began with boudoir and captureing couples. I later ventured into weddings which I instantly fell in love! They are so intimate, filled with love and magic. I have the ability to capture intimacy from all angles: intimate portraiture, bridals, couples, and then most important day of all! Weddings and working with couples has brought me so much joy and I love nothing more that providing beautiful galleries filled with emotional and magical memories.

Shelly and I have worked together on several weddings and personal shoots. She is not only extremely talented but also kind, helpful, and such an asset to anyone's big day! She's always willing to lend a hand and go above and beyond for her clients and fellow photographers. Shelly knows how to make you feel beautiful in photos and has a wide range of ideas for any situation. Book her ASAP for your big day! You won't regret it.

I began photography started in 2015 when I became a photojournalist for the U.S. Air Force. I photographed my first wedding in 2017 and completely fell in love. From there, my passion for photography and working with couples only grew, and I finally decided to begin my business. I love cold brew coffee, being outdoors and my two dogs! I lived in Charleston, South Carolina, for 5 years, but I now call Phoenix home, but I will probably never stop traveling back for weddings. Charleston will always be one of my favorite places. When I'm not with my family or working, you can find me with a good book or trying out a new restaurant.

Justin and Lauren truly are amazing. From start to finish the entire experience of having them shoot our engagement and wedding photos was absolutely fantastic. Justin & Lauren do incredible work, are professional and always quick to respond with any questions or clarifications, and as an added bonus are quite fun to spend time with. Even as someone who is not very comfortable in front of the camera, their laid-back attitude and patience with my awkwardness immediately placed me at ease and turned our shoot into a genuinely enjoyable experience. Their photo quality is incredible, and we have received countless compliments on both our photos and the final album they created for us. I can't say enough how much I would recommend them to any and everyone, you won't be disappointed.

I'm a phoenix wedding photographer and destination elopement photographer. My style combine magic & your unique love story to capture authentic photography for couples who value living in the moment. Life is precious, and I learned that the hard way. On a random Wednesday afternoon, one of my friends committed suicide. And although we were very close, I didn’t have any photos of those good moments. We were busy living life in the moment and never pause to snap a photo. As time goes by, I felt like I’m losing more and more of our good memories.

Sam was an amazing photographer for our elopement. When we decided to elope, we knew the one thing we wanted to invest in was fabulous photos, and we got exactly that and more with Sam! Knowing photography would be our biggest investment, it was paramount that we found the perfect match. We’d interviewed a few other photographers, but they were all from larger companies and had a sort of “cookie cutter” formula for elopements. They were really missing the personal experience we were looking for for our special day. We really wanted an adventure elopement that was unique to us and truly captured that moment, not just posed photos taken in the same landscape that every other couple takes. After talking with Sam and reviewing his previous work, we knew he was the person for the job. We started planning our elopement in 2020 after Covid ruined our original plans. Sam was so communicative and reassuring for the full year we were planning our wedding. On the actual day of our elopement, Sam was a life saver. When our original getting ready location didn’t work out he let us use his van to get ready in - seriously don’t know what we would have done without him. We have never had professional photos taken before and don’t really know how to be in front of a camera, but Sam was incredible by giving us little prompts to help us loosen up and relax. We felt like models by the time we started hiking to our ceremony. Sam took care of us from start to finish, all the way to the fine details of offering snacks and hot drinks throughout the day. It was a cold rainy day the day of our elopement (we eloped in a rainforest - go figure). Sam was nothing but professional and matched our energy the entire time, running up and down the beach, following us to every rock we wanted to climb and every river log we wanted to cross, and capturing every moment in between. Let me tell you - those windy rainy photos are absolutely stunning! I was worried how it might turn out because it wasn’t the sunny day I’d imagined, but Sam worked his magic and the photos are phenomenal. He made all of my Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams kissing on the beach dreams come true. We were driving when we received the sneak peaks and had to pull over and sob with joy as we relived the experience. And that was just the sneak peaks! We couldn’t be happier with how they all turned out! If you’re having trouble deciding on a photographer, I urge you to choose Sam! Hands down the best decision we made!

I’m Katie and weddings are my absolute favorite! Your wedding will be one of the best and most memorable days of your life and umm I love being a part of that! My goal is to capture you and your partner’s personalities and emotions on your special day. I want to have fun with you and be the fly on the wall when you both are just taking in all the bliss of the day!

I can’t recommend Katie enough!! From her skill to her creativity and direction, she captured our wedding day so perfectly and made it such a breeze and fun experience along the way. We’ve been lucky enough to have Katie photograph us a couple times throughout the years so it felt so special for her to shoot our wedding day. Our family and friends felt so comfortable in front of the camera with her direction and she always had great ideas and poses for everyone. We got our wedding party portraits done before the ceremony which freed up time after the ceremony to get family shots and our solo wedding portraits too. It didn’t feel like a chore or like it took anything away from the day, but added to it! Once the dinner and party started, she was right there in the crowd capturing so many funny and special moments. Seriously, cannot recommend her enough. And she will travel! 10/10

I really want you to have timeless images that your future generations can look back on and see your true love story. I don’t want to copy trends or make you feel awkward like you’re at your high school prom. My photo style is rooted in telling your love story in its most authentic and true-to-life form. It's a story that is true to life of all the emotions you felt on your big day and true to life to how you saw your day. It's vibrant in both emotion and in color. Let’s celebrate and make some epic images together because that’s the one thing that’s going to last forever.

The rating is only out of 5, but Matt is an infinity out of 5. Since our first meeting at a coffee shop to get to know each other, my husband and I knew we liked Matt. He’s sincere and serious about photography and making his clients happy. He is very attentive and good at following up. Initially when we were considering photographers, Matt made sure to check in with us to see if we were interested in booking him, but he was not pushy about it. Matt offered us a discount when booking with him as he thought the three of us would be a great fit, which only sweetened the deal. Before our engagement session, I told Matt I was worried about an allergic reaction I had (though my talented hair and makeup artist took care in covering most of it), and when my husband and I walked up to Matt, he told us how great we looked. During the session, Matt kept things lighthearted and really made my husband and me comfortable. We had never gotten professional photos taken together or in general, so we felt a little nervous/awkward being the focal point of the lens. That quickly faded away, and we had a fun time, which translated well in our photos. As we all left the session, I expressed some insecurities I had, and Matt (along with my husband) quickly reassured me. Matt’s policy is to send sneak peek photos within 48 hours, but because he is not only outstanding and talented (plus I think he wanted to make me feel better), he sent me one or two photos a few hours later! I could not believe it. My friends and I were obsessed and could not wait to see more. He sent the rest of the sneak peeks the next day and then the full engagement gallery a few weeks later. Every time he sent photos, Matt would send sweet, complimentary messages. We love every single photo! The day of the wedding, I got a little upset due to the stress and other circumstances, and Matt (and his second shooters) were all very sweet, telling me not to rub my tears so I didn’t smudge my makeup. They were extremely supportive and reassuring. Matt was super accommodating the day of the wedding (and throughout this whole process), and my friends and family/wedding guests liked him. As always, he was fun, energetic, and calming all at once. It was important to me and my mom to welcome professional photos with our guests if they wanted them, and Matt was accommodating with my requests and discussed when it would be best to capture these. We agreed on cocktail hour before magic hour/sunset photos. Unsurprisingly, Matt got us sneak peeks of our wedding photos THE NEXT MORNING after having left our wedding at 10 p.m. the night before. The sneak peeks he shared were outstanding, and it was amazing to see how beautifully he captured our day and love. With the help of my hair and makeup artist as well, Matt depicted me and my husband so well and true to ourselves; I’ve never looked or felt better and most like me in my life. He delivered our full wedding gallery about seven weeks later, and he apologized for being “late.” We weren’t concerned at all and were shocked because he gave us 1,023 photos, which was much more than we expected. We love every single photo, and our friends and family think all the photos are stunning. If you need a hype man, efficient professional, or supportive friend, book Matt. You won’t regret it. I’m eagerly looking forward to hiring Matt again for other photography needs in the future!

I'm based out of North Dakota & Arizona but will travel anywhere that your love takes me. I've loved taking photos and anything that involved any form or art ever since I was a little girl. I have an amazing husband of almost 5 years and 3 big wonderful pups. I love to travel, hike, spending days at my local coffee shops and nights at breweries in town.

We were incredibly fortunate to have Dana Maruna and her second shooter, Brie, capture our wedding in Minot, ND, in August 2023. From the moment we first connected with Dana, her exceptional communication skills shone through. She was responsive, attentive, and took the time to understand our vision and preferences, making the planning process a breeze. Dana's professionalism and organization put us at ease, and we knew we were in capable hands. Brie, the second shooter, was equally amazing. Their collaborative work ensured no moment was missed, adding depth and variety to our photos. It was evident that both Dana and Brie were dedicated to providing the best possible service, working seamlessly together. What set Dana apart was her offering of film photography, which added a unique and timeless quality to our wedding photos. We can't wait to see the results, and even though we don't have our full gallery back, we have so much trust that it's going to be wonderful. Dana is not only skilled but also passionate about preserving memories in an artistic and meaningful way. Despite living in NYC, we were lucky to have found Dana for our Minot wedding, and her talent made the distance a non-issue. Additionally, Dana and Brie are the creators of Roam Collective, an educational platform for wedding photographers. They conduct workshops all over the country, showcasing their commitment to advancing the art of wedding photography and giving back to the community. But it's not just about professionalism—Dana has become more than our wedding photographer; she's now a dear friend. This personal connection added an extra layer of warmth and comfort to the entire photography experience. It's truly special to not only have had Dana and Brie document our wedding but also to continue building a lasting friendship with Dana. Their genuine care and personal touch make them stand out as more than just professionals but as people who genuinely care about their clients and their stories. In sum, we couldn't be happier with our choice of Dana Maruna as our wedding photographer. Her exceptional communication, talent, dedication to her craft, and educational initiatives through Roam Collective make her and Brie remarkable individuals in the wedding photography industry. They have not only captured our special day beautifully but have also become cherished friends in the process. We highly recommend Dana and Brie to anyone seeking not only photographers but also dedicated professionals and friends. Thank you, Dana and Brie, for making our wedding day truly unforgettable, and we have complete trust that our full gallery will be just as wonderful as the journey to it.

I'm not here to pose you, tell you to look at the camera and smile, or just be another vendor and then leave as soon as the day is done. I'm here to be your friend, your honorary bridesmaid, your biggest cheerleader, joke-teller, drink getter, dress fluffer, and bodyguard. I'm here for YOU and to document your day in a way that when you look back on your photos, you'll be able to feel the way you felt in that exact moment.

Lacie was so easy and great to work with. I got to experience her for a wedding I was in and I knew I had to book her for my wedding! Best decision I ever made. She made everything a breeze and I’m so in love with all the pictures

I have a heart that craves adventure, beautiful sunsets, and tacos. I freakin' love true crime, I'm enneagram 3 wing 2, and I am always down to jam to Fleetwood Mac! I love capturing life as it happens, whether it's the big moments or the in between details of your journey. I believe in the raw candid moments, even if they're messy. Consider me your new bff when you book with me! I promise I'm a good time!

I couldn’t say enough good things about Jaidyn. We booked her about 9 months out from our wedding, and we did our engagement shoot with her shortly after. We loved her then, and we absolutely loved our engagement photos from her! She meet us feel so comfortable being ourselves, to get some really authentic moments captured. Then when our wedding came, she was extremely communicative and organized (even having JUST had her baby!!!) and I had no worries about her leading up to the day! Day-of, she practically doubled as another Maid of Honor & Coordinator. She directed everyone so seamlessly and truly just dominated in her entire work. She got us sneakpeaks incredibly fast and we are IN LOVE with them!!!! Jaidyn was our absolute best money spent on our wedding and our best wedding vendor decision. I can’t recommend her enough!!!
