KIND WORDS

“Laurel and Jakub were such wonderful people and photographers to work with! Truly just the sweetest, most genuine people. Response times, organization, and work were excellent! 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend. Thank you again for all of your hard work you both were fantastic, and we couldn't be more pleased with your work.” --Brigid & Andrew

KIND WORDS

“Laurel and Jakub did our engagement photos and our wedding day photos and I have nothing negative to say. They are both the most sweetest people and so thoughtful. Laurel went above and beyond my expectations with poses and locations and ideas. She is super responsive and willing to answer any question or assist in any way she possibly can. On our wedding day I never once had to think about or mention to Laurel or Jakub any photo needs or wants because they were on it snapping pictures everywhere and every second and never missed a moment. By far the most reliable, sweetest, and caring photographers you will find in North Carolina. Not to mention they also take the BEST photographs.“ --Elizabeth & Travis

KIND WORDS

“We chose to do the Grow with Me package for our youngest daughter and it was the best decision ever. The first year goes by so fast and I loved not having to worry about if or when I should schedule another photo shoot to capture how much she'd changed. And beyond taking that stress away, the photos themselves are beautiful and Laurel is such a pleasure to work with. She really puts the effort in to make sure you're not just satisfied, but thrilled with the pictures of your family. Even though we've completed the Grow with Me package, we look forward to continuing to work with Laurel to capture our constantly growing family.“ -- Jen

KIND WORDS

“Where do I even begin?? Laurel is an amazing photographer & just a wonderful person. Not only are her photographs absolutely stunning, she is so warm and makes you feel so comfortable. I have had a couple sessions with her over the past year and I will continue to have her to photograph my family. She is simply the best..“ -- Maria

KIND WORDS

“Laurel and her husband were amazing! They made us feel comfortable and at ease through the whole process. We've only done our engagement session so far and I CAN NOT WAIT to see them again on our wedding day! She is so kind and knew every way to have us pose and really made it enjoyable and fun. If you want a photographer that is not only amazing at what she does, but is the sweetest, go with her! I could not be happier.“ --Elizabeth & Howard

KIND WORDS

“Laurel is so talented and such a pleasure to work with! She was very organized and has an eye for capturing amazing photos! I had a sneak peek very quickly and all my edited photos back in a super timely manner. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Laurel Calabek Photography!!“ --Emily & Gigi

KIND WORDS

“Laurel was with my husband and I from engagement photos all the way to our wedding. I could not have asked for a better photographer! Laurel is so friendly and bubbly and she makes everything so much fun! She is very accommodating and is there for you every step of the way. I would recommend her to anyone!! Our photos turned out so amazing and we will be able to cherish them for the rest of our lives. Thank you so much for everything Laurel!“ --Nicole & Drew

KIND WORDS

“Laurel did a great job at our 50th anniversary party. She was easy to work with, organized and patient. We had a family group of 14 that she handled with ease. The pictures were wonderful and the whole experience working with Laurel was great. I highly recommend her!“ --Susan Watts

KIND WORDS

“We had the BEST experience with Laurel capturing memories for our family! We did a session with four generations, so there were a lot of people to coordinate. In the days leading up to our shoot, she promptly answered all of my questions to help our session go smoothly. She was also so patient with everyone while taking photos. She made sure to get all the shots that were important to us and helped us get amazing photos of our nine-month-old baby, which is no small feat! We received our pictures very shortly after our session and were blown away with the result. She did such a fantastic job that we had a hard time choosing which photos we wanted to print out. We were so happy with our photos and will be using Laurel for family photos in the future!“ --Andie, Patrick & Clara
