LUX PHOTOGRAPHER
Doing this work for God's glory - and loving every moment of it.
Meet the Photographer
Hello,
I'm Laurel Tolle.
I'm a wedding and portrait photographer with a deep love for capturing the moments that make your story uniquely yours — the quiet ones, the joyful ones, and everything in between.
My journey with photography started at 18 when my uncle gifted me my first camera. That one moment sparked a new passion for me. This led me to study multimedia at Abilene Christian University, launch Images by Laurel in 2022, and ultimately walk away from my corporate career in 2024 to pursue photography full-time. It was the best decision I've ever made.
I'm based in the great state of Texas, but I travel wherever your story takes me. I am a true to color photographer with some fun black and white and film photos thrown in there. My approach is editorial and film-inspired, but always warm and always true to who you are.
Beyond photography, I'm a wife to my best friend Cody, a lover of traveling, and someone who still tears up at every single ceremony. I hope that never changes.
I believe photography is a calling, not just a career — and I do this work for His glory every single day. I can't wait to tell your story.
— Laurel
MY APPROACH
Present. Intentional.
Grateful for every frame.
I work somewhere between editorial and documentary photography.
I provide guided sessions including some natural moments.
I keep my calendar small on purpose. Not to be exclusive, but because every person I photograph deserves my whole attention.
That's the standard I hold myself to and the one I believe
this work deserves.
"We were in awe of how good the photos were.
Everything turned out better than we could imagine."
Kind words from
Gaby & Daniel
"Where do I start.... From my bridal shoot to my wedding day, Laurel was so amazing to work with. I felt so beautiful during our sessions together."
Kind words from
Bailey & Jay
"I appreciated how she helped me with poses and always made me feel so beautiful! She is very approachable to answer all of your questions."
Kind words from
Macey & Raul
MY PHILOSOPHY
I seek all inspiration from God and trust Him fully with my life and this business. Being able to do this work full-time is something I don't take for granted for a single day. It's not a career I built. It's a calling I was given. And I want every image I make to reflect that.
"EACH OF YOU SHOULD USE WHATEVER GIFT YOU HAVE RECEIVED TO SERVE OTHERS, AS FAITHFUL STEWARDS OF GOD’S GRACE IN ITS VARIOUS FORMS."
