We used Laura for our wedding day that had previously been cancelled 3 times due to covid. She kept in touch with us throughout and prepared us for the most magical day. She was organised ,took into account elderly relatives and others with needs. Her understand and patients was phenomenal. We cannot wait to receive more pictures and will continue to be using Laura for further events. Family relatives have also said how amazing she was at the wedding. Highly recommended!

I am so impressed with Laura's services. My friend has recently got married and Laura was the photographer for the whole day. She is so approachable and and makes the whole experience a joy posing for the photos. She is very professional but gets everyone relaxed so the photos are very natural looking but she also puts her own personal touches on. The photo book from my friend's wedding is amazing along with it also being affordable too. I would definitely recommend Powell-ful Photography.
