Reviews of Laura Ridley Photography

Laura and her team are fantastic! They go above and beyond to ensure your experience with them is just as memorable as your photo's. Laura is wonderful with children and beautifully captures moments that you will treasure for a lifetime. We are so delighted with the high quality art work we now have on display in our home. Highly recommended!

Laura has been photographing our family for almost five years now. During this time we have her a newborn shoot, couples shoot, family session and also a few one-offs. Laura is great at putting out kids at ease and getting the best out of them on the day. The images she takes have always really captured our children's personalities and our photos always have a lovely sense of story and emotion to them that make you appreciate photography as an art form. The products are of an exceptionally high quality and we have really seen them as an investment worth saving for that will last a lifetime!

We really loved our photos, the photoshoot experience was fun and Laura was lovely as well as good with kids. She seems genuine. Photos were good high quality with a good camera but not edited as the woman at the photo consult said they would be (one was edited but really not well done/ rushed so was sent the original) Sadly we could only afford the cheapest option even with the voucher and buy 6 photos for $790 (thats with $200 off) and our photo shoot was also 'free' which would have apparently been an extra $400. So we felt lucky we had this experience with a $600 discount?! You also get a $100 voucher towards 'wallart' but this was not affordable for us so the "voucher" was not used. Now looking back it seems all a bit commercialised and i should have figured. At the photo consult It was very hard to choose only 6 and very on the spot, a little rushed considering how much money you are putting towards the perfect photos (out of about 100). You dont get any more time otherwise you have to pay extra and you cant change your mind afterwards. I recommend but just make sure you consider the prices and packages beforehand, they offer a lot of deals and vouchers to make it seem like you are getting a bargain but pricing and the invoice didnt make much sense to us and we have been with other photographers in the past and ended up with all the digitals and some prints for a lot less/ same price we paid in total for only the 6 ... I feel like so many special photos were wasted and deleted since we couldnt afford them all.. We look forward to recieiving the 6 prints we bought though. Recommend if you can afford more than $2000+ for photos plus other expenses. i just wanted to leave an honest review about our feelings, not in any way trying to sound rude and i really dont like writing reviews like this. Sorry Maybe just not for us. 😊 all the best and thanks for the photos, there were some lovely ones captured i just wished we could have more of them!

Such friendly staff and great experience! The final pieces looks amazing even simple prints. Only thing I'd say is response to emails are lacking but may be due to being very busy. Also phone line doesn't seem to go through, but thats more observation.Your best bet is just popping by the studio if you want quick response. I definitely recommend 👌

Absolutely amazing with our newborn boy. Very patient and the photos are going to be AMAZING Highly recommended

I had a session with Laura and was blown away by her professionalism and how she made my boys feel at ease and comfortable for their first time having photos taken. The pictures are beautiful, I'm so glad I went to Laura 100% recommend her.

Laura photographed our wedding on the 3rd of January and did such an amazing job. She was very willing to help us get the photos we wanted and has a fantastic knowledge of great settings for photos in the area. On the day she managed to keep everyone including myself calm and relaxed. The 2 hours spent taking photos with the bridal party were just so much fun and this was thanks to Laura. The groomsmen especially sung her praises because she didn't make them take their hands out of their pockets. I was amazed at the fast return of the photos and found that Laura had managed to take so many fantastic photos of us without us even knowing she was there. Great photos of your wedding day are priceless and these are the kinds of photos that Laura captures.

Laura's photos are amazing! From the 1st time we met with her we knew she was the photographer for us! She arrived early on the wedding day which made the day run so smoothly as I wasn't the stressed bride running around everywhere! The photos are beyond excellent! She makes it so easy to be in front of the camera and catches every moment perfectly. The photos arrived very quickly which made everyone's Christmas. Will definitely be using Laura for family photos in the future, and recommending her to all my family and friends!

We met Laura at a wedding show, and loved her work from the beginning. We were a bit hesitant over her prices, however, Laura worked to our budget, and kept going above and beyond for us and we 100% believe she is worth every penny. She is professional and friendly, experienced and really connected with us and our vision for our wedding. Her positivity and enthusiasm showed through consistently and made us match her. My husband is often uncomfortable with having photos taken, especially posed, but was relaxed and didn't pull (too many) faces with Laura. The photos we received were amazing, varied and just what we asked for. I cannot thank her, or recommend her enough!

Laura is absolutely amazing! I would recommend her to anyone wanting someone not only great at photography, but also makes you feel at ease and comfortable :) Love our Wedding photos and book. Such a nice enthusiastic person that has genuine excitement for you. I will totally use her services again.

Laura was an amazing photographer that captured our wedding day in Jan 2017, she also took our engagement photos in 2016 and also did a couples photo shoot in 2013. we couldn't be happier with the photos that she took and would recommend her to everyone we know/looking for a photographer. She is just over all amazing at what she does and not once did we feel uncomfortable or awkward in front of the camera or around her. We cant wait till the next celebration to be able to use her services again.

I won a glamour photo shoot with Laura which including hair & make up. My mum and I had some photos taken as we don't have many photos together as well as a "3 Generation" photo with my daughter. We fell in love with our photos!! Laura was really friendly, relaxed and made us feel very comfortable. Her communication is excellent and the presentation of our photos were beautiful. Highly recommend! Thanks again for the amazing photos that we are going to treasure forever :):)

Had a great experience. Super helpful and great with our baby and older son. Made us all feel so relaxed at having photos when we don't like having our pictures taken.

Laura and Ben did an amazing job at our wedding. Laura is very approachable, pleasant and extremely professional. She made every effort to understand the style of photos we wanted and didn't push what she thought would be better onto us. She was AMAZING and I highly recommend her services.

Laura was the photographer for my wedding last year. Right from the moment my husband and I met Laura we felt so at ease. Part of the package we chose had a couple of extra photographers, all were so amazing and helpful on our big day (1 even helping tie the ties for the boys lol). Our wedding album, signing board and USB stick of photos shows just how talented Laura is. We would highly recommend Laura for any photography work

Laura was excellent to work with, friendly and easy going. We were very pleased with the final product. We got exactly what we were after! She had an awesome turn around time too. We had our photos back in no time. I would definitely recommend Laura to anyone looking for photographer in the future. - Krystal & Rowen Karl

Loved having Laura as our photographer for our wedding in January 2013. It felt like she wasn't even there, except when we were doing the group/family/wedding party shots. Would recommend her to everyone (and I do recommend her).

I have recently had engagement photos with Laura and she is just all round amazing! I love her style, her personality and the way she interacts with the people she is taking photos of, which helped with our decision when choosing her to be our photographer! She's the whole package! We are having our wedding photos taken by her in December and I cant wait! I know she is going to do an AMAZING job! and make our day totally stressless!! The photos we had recently were back to us in a week and were even presented nicely!! It makes the whole experience seem like youre not just another customer! Thanks for everything you have done and will do, love your work :)

I have no hesitation in writing this review for Laura. We had the pleasure of having Laura as our photographer at our recent wedding. She was always very professional and her photos have come out amazing. Thanks again Laura for helping make our day so special.

Friendly people and stunning photos. I'm thrilled with the result, it was exactly what I wanted.

Our wedding day flew by faster than we ever imagined, and when it was over we wished we could go back in time and relive the experience over and over again. After months of planning the single most momentous day in your life, when it is over you almost feel like you have lost something. But then the photos arrived. It was with a sense of awe that we looked through them, almost a magical experience. Through these photos, which captured every detail of the day perfectly, we could relive the emotions of that day. Honestly, I could not stop looking at them again and again! We really couldn't be more happy with the excellent job Laura has done. Her photos are just incredibly stunning, while also so natural looking. What more could you want!

Laura you were absolutely amazing. Right from our engagement shoot throughout the preparation for our wedding day and also receiving our wedding photos. We got married on the 13th of December 2014 and were not expecting to receive our photos before Christmas but Laura had them to us before Christmas which was awesome so we could share them with family and friends as you see a lot of people at that time of year.:-) As a bride the day disappears so fast, I felt overwhelmed and had so many emotions running through me that I found it hard to recall the day even on the next day. But looking at the amazing photos Laura had taken, most off them without me realising she had captured the whole day perfectly and all the emotions from the day. Thank you so Much Laura it was sooo awesome to look at the photos which brought back my memory of how our day went. You did an outstanding job capturing our special day and we have the amazing photos to remember it Laura is so easy to deal with and made everything easy before and on our wedding day :-) Laura has amazing patience and quietly works away capturing your special day without you realising we would highly recommend Laura to capture your wedding day we have recommended her to friends already:-) Thanks So Much Alicia Gledhill :-)

Absolutely love the photos that Laura took at our wedding, was so nice to have a photographer who knew exactly what e were wanting when we explained it as well as being there the whole day without even realizing where she was most the time, this allowed her to capture some great 'in the moment photos'. We will cherish our photos for life and highly recommend Laura as a photographer for your special day. Megan and Ben Fraser

Laura photographed our wedding in October. She was really helpful throughout the whole process. We were able to share our ideas with Laura and she worked with us to help make our day perfect. The service was great and we received our discs really quickly within a week of our wedding. Thanks heaps Laura!

Lots of hype prior, but, felt a bit let down at the Studio as it was rushed and lacked direction/input. Photos OK though.Very expensive!

I was a little let down as I had paid for a sibling photo I had some car trouble so arrived bang on time but their were no parks so had to park down the road and ran back to the place. The photo shoot was meant to be 10mins and I was hoping to get some great photos for xmas presents however she got them to only do 2 poses took 7 photos and said that's it. I looked at my watch to see it had only been 5 mins and upon reviewing the photos it seems other people received most poses and way more photos. A little disappointed. Quality of photos I did receive are good.

I would not hestitate to recommend Laura to anyone! She has this special way of making you feel comfortable while making you look amazing. The shoots are fun and the photos are so beautiful, you will have a hard time choosing which ones you want.

We used Laura for our wedding photographer in February. She was very easy and accomodating to work with. Her package suited our budget perfectly and we are very happy with our photos. Thank You!

Laura and Ben photographed our wedding in December 2012. Nothing was a problem for them. Our photos are beautiful, our wedding album, AMAZING! Would happily recommend to anyone looking for a photographer.

We used Laura for our Photographer in our November wedding. she has produced some AMAZING photos throughout our day and i cannot recommend her more

Went to Laura opening party.... Was difficult to find her studio..FYI its at the start of the street up a drive way..... Amazing space and heaps of props to create a masterpiece for yourself! Would totally recommend.

Laura and her assistant Sarah were amazing! Absolutely made the day. Honestly could not have asked for better photos or a better team.

Laura's awesome. Really patient and friendly with me and my lot. Steep but short driveway prob not suitable for disabled people but we managed ok with our dad who is in a wheelchair.
