Love letters from our couples

“I could never say enough about Laura and Richard. From the very first phone call with Laura, it felt like I was talking to a friend. She was so kind and enthusiastic, and it was so clear how much she genuinely cares about her clients. She was very thorough and detailed in everything that needed to be coordinated, and she touched base regularly. Neither my husband nor I are very comfortable in front of cameras, but our engagement photos were a breeze and so much fun; she is the ultimate hype-woman and made us feel so at ease. On the day of the wedding, Laura and Richard were so professional and so personable. They made sure to touch base with us to make sure they got all the shots we wanted, and they were so creative with the poses and photo locations. They coordinated pictures seamlessly to ensure my husband and I didn't see each other before the ceremony. Everything went so smoothly! Our photos and wedding video turned out better than I could have imagined. They were so beautiful and I still look at them all the time all these months later. While all of that was amazing, I was far more blown away with the amount of care and love that they put into shooting our day. They made us feel special and beautiful and important, and they listened so well and spoke so kindly. We expected wonderful photography and videography, but we got so much more than that. They made our day even more beautiful, and I am so so grateful that they were there.” - Sara B.

“Laura and Richard were an absolute dream to work with! They were professional, helpful, and unbelievably talented. My husband and I were so nervous to do our engagement photos but Laura made us feel so comfortable and gave great direction! By the end of our session, we couldn’t wait to work with her again for our wedding day. Laura and Richard were understanding about the stress of planning our wedding during the uncertainties of COVID19 and flexible while we made a decision. When we decided to go through with a smaller wedding, it eased our minds to know that Laura and Richard would be there to capture our day because we knew that they would capture our day perfectly. And we were right! Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning! Laura captured every moment from our special day and we will forever cherish her incredible photos. Our wedding video is a perfect representation of our wedding day. We love watching the video to relive our perfect day. Laura and Richard were so fun and easy to talk to. We loved getting to know them better. There are not enough kind words to say about Laura and Richard! They are truly a dream to work with and we are so thankful that they were are part of our special day!” - Emma F.

“We can say with the utmost confidence that Laura and Richard are, hands down, the best decision we made for our wedding, besides marrying each other! There are truly not enough kind words to say about them. Fun, friendly and energetic, and true professionals at every level. Their photos and portfolio speak for themselves; not only are they excellent in their craft of photography/videography, they are great people as well; the best all the way around. For two people who were admittedly nervous and awkward for the engagement photos, the Von Telthorsts made the session not only fun but feel extremely comfortable as well. By the time the wedding day rolled around, they felt like old friends, fitting naturally into our close-knit wedding party. With us not knowing the specifics of what we were looking for, they brought the direction and creativity we needed. They took the initiative to move furniture and find the best lighting and scenes among countless other things; they really did everything they could capture the true essence of what makes us, us. They went above and beyond in every way possible; helping with outfit choices for the engagement photos, doing the bride's make-up for the big day, and offering much needed advice in the planning process. Laura and Richard were an amazing addition for the most important event in our lives so far. We cannot thank them enough for all the gorgeous memories we'll have to look back on forever! We’d choose the Von Telthorsts a million times over, if possible, but we'll just have to settle for having them shoot our siblings wedding this year. It is without question or hesitation that we recommend Laura and Richard for your photography/videography needs.” - Hayley C.

“I could not be happier with our decision to use Laura and Richard as our engagement and wedding photographer and videographer! They were so professional but also made us feel very comfortable and made everything seem so easy. My husband and I knew we were in good hands working with them. We brought our dog to our engagement photo session and when she wasn't getting her photo taken with us, Richard was playing with her and distracting her with treats while Laura shot some photos of us. Needless to say, our dog loved them too! :) They captured amazing moments on our wedding day from still photos, video, and audio that we will cherish forever. From snippets of my dad's speech to capturing some of my twin sister's song performance, I cried like a baby the first time we watched our video, it was absolutely perfect. They did a phenomenal job. I highly recommend Laura and Richard!” - Suzanne N.

“Laura and Richard have to be one of the most talented and creative wedding photographers and videographers, hands down. Our experience with Laura and Richard was phenomenal from beginning to end. They were professional, responsive, and fully understood our vision for our photos and executed it in a way that was truly above and beyond. They traveled to D.C. for our engagement shoot and captured us and the city perfectly. At our wedding, they seamlessly maneuvered throughout the night, allowing us to be fully immersed in the experience while they captured the most gorgeous candid shots. Laura and Richard are the perfect choice if you’re looking for stylish, modern, and authentic wedding photography and videography. They were a dream to work with and I can’t recommend them enough.” -Jennifer B
