Laura really took the time to help me capture the moments that were special to me and to my husband at our wedding. She did a beautiful job. I am beyond thrilled. She even stepped up to the plate and help me fast and boutonnieres when nobody else was able to do it, she was a pro. I felt taken care of, and I felt that she went above and beyond to make our day magical and meaningful and most well memorable.

The photographer did a good job overall and was easy to work with throughout the event. They were professional, punctual, and made sure to capture all the important moments. A lot of the photos turned out really nice, especially some of the candid shots, even if not every single one stood out. Communication was smooth and everything was delivered on time. Overall, a positive experience and a reliable choice for capturing your event.

This photo session was the highlight of my trip to Chicago. We have done many family photo shoots- but no photographer ever captured who our family is the way Wildflower Views and Vows did. If you are looking for a photographer who will capture your memories in the most authentic, fun, and precious way- stop looking. You found her!

Laura photographed our small wedding and we could not have asked for a better photographer! We planned everything very quickly, so the turnaround time was short. Laura was so flexible and rolled with the punches of the day, even making sure that we had individual time with her after our guests left. Cannot recommend her more!!
