Laura Olson Photography - Sunshine Coast BC Photographer

Initially Laura was a pleasure to work with. She took her time to understand our situation and elopement and we had a great time with her during our shoot.After our wedding however is when the trouble started. Initially we were told we’d be getting some pictures for our families (which are overseas) within the next couple days. Those “couple days” turned into a frustrating 3 months wait to get our first sneak peeks (35ish pictures).Now, 1 year later (our wedding was July 4th) we are still waiting for the rest of our gallery. Both parties agreed contractually on a deliverable of “approximately 12 weeks after the Event Date”. Laura’s communication regarding the delay has been sparse at best and she only started responding after multiple attempts of contacting her via email and IG. She had promised us numerous times that the pictures will be uploaded by X or that she will start working on them “tonight” which has caused a lot of frustration since nothing was ever delivered. At this point we feel like we are being taken advantage of and to our understanding we may not be the only couple/client where she’s behind on her deliverable. We’re not even sure she still has our pictures to begin with or if we’re just being taken for a ride.What was initially a great day for us is now overshadowed by the fact that we’re still missing the majority of our pictures that we haven’t been able to share with both of our families who unfortunately had to miss our big day. We know life happens and circumstances change but we feel that after 1 year there should be at least clear communication on what is going on and what the delays are.

Laura was absolutely amazing to work with. She helped come up with a plan for our wedding/elopement day, and was so knowledgeable about the Sunshine Coast area . On the day of our wedding, she made us feel very comfortable and was such a pleasure to spend time with on our special day! Choosing Laura as our photographer was the best wedding planning decision we made! The photos she captured are absolutely stunning!! They are a keepsake we will cherish forever. Thank you for everything Laura!!

I’ve been lucky enough to do a few different shoots with Laura, and I can’t recommend her enough!My first Maternity shoot with my partner, she made us both feel comfortable in front of the camera even my partner who isn’t super comfortable in front of the lens!She shot a mini family session for us when my son was 6 weeks old and they are the most beautiful family photos I will treasure for life. Our son was pretty cranky that day but you would never know looking at the photos, they are absolutely amazing.I most recently had a second maternity shoot for our baby due in June, and it was a lovely experience. My second pregnancy has not been easy and I have definitely not felt that “glow” but Laura made me feel so beautiful despite all of that. She really gave it her all and was able to capture some really beautiful photos.She’s an extremely versatile Photographer for any of life’s big moments!

We have absolutely loved working with Laura! She is so talented, kind, and just an overall joy to be around! Would 100% recommend!

Laura is amazing. I asked for recommendations on a forum for wedding photographers and got around 80 referrals. In a sea of photographers, Laura's work stood out immediately. She is extremely passionate about her work and delivers images that will blow you away. She took the time to listen to what was important to us and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Would recommend 100 times over.

We absolutely loved Laura!She took our wedding photos back in September, and not only did she make us feel so comfortable, but she had us laughing so much that we were able to forget how awkward we both felt in front of the camera.She was super creative with our shots and so easy to talk to and run ideas by. She was so involved and spent far more time with us then she needed to because we were just having so much fun.Just one look at her social media pages and you can see she is WILDLY talented!Thank-you so much Laura for capturing our special day!!

So many great things to say about Laura! First off - her pictures are a work of art! Our wedding day pictures were so stunning and we received so many compliments! Laura took the time to get to know us as a couple, ensured we were comfortable during photo shoots and made us laugh! I highly recommend getting Laura as a photographer for any little or major moment in your life. She cares about the little things and wants your pictures to be perfect. I’m definitely going to use her again!!

Laura is amazing. She captured our entire pregnancy starting with the gender reveal, maternity, birth and newborn. She was able to catch all the real moments that can't be propped and staged. Laura worked so well with our 3 year old son, he did not want to cooperate at all during the pictures yet she was able to get some amazing pictures of him. We are so glad we went with her, the pictures she captured for us will forever be on our walls!

My husband and I have had the pleasure of doing multiple shoots with Laura, including our engagement photos! Laura is so kind and friendly and made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera! Our love and excitement was captured SO perfectly, and still to this day those are our favourite photos! We could not recommend her enough, she will forever and always be our go-to photographer!
