{ Ruby Shoes Photography } Creative Boston Wedding Photographer

Welcome!

My name is Laura and I LOVE what I do. Thanks for stopping by & staying updated on my latest photographic adventures!

I am currently seating couples for 2013 + 2014. Because I want to dedicate a lot of time to each and every one of my couples, my commissions are limited per year. RSP is currently 50% booked for the 2013 season. Coverage begins at 3400 USD for local weddings (within 50 miles of my studio space), and packages begin at 3900 USD.

I encourage you to look around my site, and if you feel I would be a good fit for you, I would be happy to schedule an in-studio consultation with you to chat further and see if we have a good connection. I find this to be very important. Please contact me via the "Reach Me!" tab, and we can talk more about possibly collaborating for creative documentation on your wedding day and beyond.

Happy Planning!

All the Best,
Laura

Suzi and Jeff’s wedding day was eagerly awaited ever since the first time I met them. Their personalities are so enjoyable, their demeanors so comfortable, and their positive energy and whimsical nature is simply contagious. I was thrilled to be a part of their entire wedding process, from their engagement adventure in Newburyport to their big day and beyond! I’m so excited that Suzi and Jeff are already planning on getting a custom RSP wedding album, and I cannot wait to put that together for them to have forever.

For now, enjoy a small collection of favorites from their amazing April day…

Their sweet First Look not only allowed for some great genuine emotional moments to be captured, but also opened up the afternoon for a photo adventure to explore the Worcester area and make the most of their imagery. Always a big plus!!

Even as I was taking it, Suzi exclaimed, “this will be my favorite wedding photo of the day!!!” S + J – I could not be more elated to have met you both, and to have had such a wonderful entire experience with you! It has been incredibly fun and I truly cannot contain my excitement for sharing more of your images soon! xo, Laura

{ katya + jon } { wedding sneak peek } { brooklyn, new york } { creative NYC wedding photography }

May 12, 2013

I went to high school with Katya in Iowa City where I grew up, and was so thrilled to hear from her again after she had gotten engaged. They were living in NYC, and their chemistry was instantly and truly remarkable to me. They just emanated love, excitement and happiness each and every time I spoke with them. Immediately after Skyping with them both, my mind was spinning with ideas for their wedding. In their words, their priorities for me were “to have fun” and “have complete creative control”. It literally cannot get better than that. ;)

And their entire weekend was nothing short of absolutely amazing!! I feel so lucky to have gotten to not only be witness to such a beautiful event and weekend, but to be entrusted to document it all for them and their families and friends.

For now, a glimpse into their spectacular wedding day in beautiful Brooklyn, NY.

We started the day at the Eva Scrivo Salon in Manhattan. What a beautiful spot!

Then it was back to the Wythe Hotel in Williamsburg to get ready and have their First Look + portraits prior to their ceremony. The bridal suite was unreal with tons of floor-to-ceiling windows, gorgeous natural light pouring in, and a spectacular view of the city skyline. And WHAT a BRIDE!!

We headed to their darling courtyard for the First Look.

Then a short walk around the neighborhood let us get quite a few lovely portraits in only a few minutes.

Next, it was off to Steiner Studios (Stage 6) for their wedding ceremony, followed by a great party to celebrate their union. For those of you unfamiliar with the space, Steiner Studios is the 2nd largest movie studio in the country outside of LA.

Because Jon works for Guinness, it only seemed appropriate to get a photo of them enjoying a pint. :) (Thanks again SO much, Ange, for your amazing help all day long!!)

There is just SO much more goodness to share!! It was so hard to narrow it down to just a peek.

If you’d like to be first to know when the rest of their images are ready for your viewing pleasure, “like” Ruby Shoes Photography on Facebook for the latest updates and notifications. You may also view/order these photos in their personal online wedding gallery here. You may also “like” this post to share it with friends on Facebook! Leaving some love for these two (via a comment below) is always welcome!

K + J – I wish we could do it again every weekend. What a truly phenomenal experience with you all ! Big hugs + big cheers!

I can hardly rightfully put into words (OK, I really cannot) the entire experience sharing in Keith + Erika’s wedding union + celebration in The Big Easy. What. A. Weekend. And now (because who comes to a photo blog for the text??) a few favorite images from their magical day, which took place right in Jackson Square, and ended (via Second Line Parade!!!) at the Napoleon House. I truly look forward to working away on these!!

The happy tears were falling galore at their First Look (and throughout the day, including me!)

SO much happy. <3 Look at it – you KNOW you cannot avoid smiling.

Just two darlings (I swear they’re not models) ready to tie the knot!

Yarrrr let’s get hitched, ma’ lady! (She said yarrr, but of course!) After all, it wouldn’t be Pirate’s Alley without a pirate!

Super awesome bridal party?! Why, yes. Only the best in NOLA. ;)

Love and smiles. They never get old. Never ever, ever.

Can we talk about this backdrop? (Well, you really have no choice but to hear about it from me) – it is INCREDIBLE – just in case your eyes aren’t working properly. I was simply in awe.

I can’t help but think of Johnny + June when I think of Jackson. But I have a very, very good feeling this fire won’t go out. ;)

Married!! Second line begins – let’s do this partay thing!!

There is so much more in store (and I mean SO much more) – if you’d like to be the first to hear about it all, simply “like” Ruby Shoes Photography on Facebook and you’ll be updated on the latest including their wedding posts and full wedding gallery. I just cannot wait to get to these!!!!! (You may have gotten the sense that I’m pretty excited about it, and if that is the case, you are very, very correct.)

K+E – I really don’t know how to thank you enough for trusting me fully, and allowing me to share in all your NOLA festivities. It was one for the books. The books of EPIC. It will never, ever be repeated, and I would have it no other way. What an honor. I love you both, and I am so very happy for you!!! Please don’t let that be forgotten. xoxoxo

What a way to end such a spectacular day!! In case you missed the rest, check out their

And now – their reception! If you’d like to see their FULL online wedding gallery, including their Ruby Booth, simply follow the link at the bottom of this post. Enjoy!

More DIY goodies:

Lovely birch + floral centerpieces.

They had so many goodies for everyone to enjoy including jams, Table Talk pies in honor of Meg’s grandpa (who used to work for TTPs), and even homemade caramel corn courtesy of Meg + her mom! They also hand-stamped each goodie bag.

While antiquing, they found this original Table Talk pie tin. Such a perfect + meaningful addition to their table decor!

When I saw that little window in the top of the pie box, I immediately knew I wanted to create this image.

It’s party time!

I love this shot from above. You can see all the chandeliers, twinkle lights and candles really created a cozy atmosphere.

<3

I swear their amazing cakes were literally out of a page of a pastry magazine. I couldn’t stop photographing them!

And the cake toppers? Yep, totally DIY + totally adorable. What did you expect??

Sweet, sweet happy tears. They get me every time.

Shenanigans!

The dance floor was packed all night long!

Fun with the rings – one of my favorite things.

Darling moment by the fireplace!

Sparkler exit!

If this isn’t romantic, I don’t know what is.

As promised, HERE is the link to their FULL wedding gallery! View the rest of these beauties, as well as their Ruby Booth. You may also order prints directly through their gallery if you would like!

Meg + Josh – you two were so much fun to work with! I had nothing but a great time with you from the start. I am so happy to have met you both, and I cannot express how excited I am that you two are going to be parents soon!!! I know you will both be amazing, and I can’t wait to see that little nugget of yours!! Big hugs to you 3. xoxo
