About Laura Mitchell

I’m a one-person event videographer/photographer with 14 years of experience, focused on documenting your day honestly and unobtrusively. My goal is for you to stay fully present in the moment, while I quietly capture the real emotions, details, and in‑between moments as your schedule naturally shifts. Clients and coworkers describe me as blunt yet kind. I’m straightforward about what I can deliver, and I won’t try to sell you anything you don’t need. I’m even‑keeled, grounded, and genuinely enjoy meeting new people and witnessing big life moments. If you’re looking for a documenter who blends into the background and keeps things real, I’d love to talk about your event.

They didn't let me click all the items that I wanted so I must add: Excellent responsiveness and superb on punctuality on top of work quality, value and professionalism. From start to finish, working with Laura was a dream. Easy going, kind, unobtrusive but everywhere you need/want her to be. Our pictures turned out more beautiful than I could have hoped up, perfectly capturing all the special moments and then some. The images speak for themselves, but as a person, Laura added so much to our wedding day helping not only my husband and I be at ease but all our guests and loved ones as well. Her style is timeless, elegant and effortless. There is such beautiful artistry in the way she preserved not just how everything looked, but how it all felt. 100% work with Laura. I know I will be asking her to continue to capture my special life moments into the future! -The McKinnons

We couldn’t be happier with LNM as our wedding photographer! Laura captured our day beautifully, blending our photo ideas with their own creativity to create memories we’ll treasure forever. They made the experience fun and effortless while making us feel genuinely cared for as clients. We especially appreciated how thoughtful they were with our families, ensuring we captured meaningful moments with the people we love most. Their talent, creativity, and personal touch made such a difference, and we wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer who truly cares!

I truly enjoyed this photoshoot. Myself and my girlfriend wanted to do something different for the trips we take and decided on photography. We usually just tour places and we definitely did that in Chicago but we ended the last day with photos. They came out great. The whole process was smooth and really during the shoot we had great conversation! Thank you Laura for being a professional in the true sense of the word. You know they say it's all about relationships in life, we just added another person to our village!
