Laura Mares Photography
award winning photographer in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Capturing unique narratives for couples, families, and individuals through authentic, heartfelt photography.
I believe in embracing unscripted beauty, fostering genuine connection, and documenting the intentional moments
that turn the everyday into the extraordinary. Let’s make your story unforgettable.
Capturing the joy in your story
I get it. Hiring a photographer who doesn’t capture “you” can be frustrating. You want more than a generic snapshot—you want images that reflect your authenticity, personality, and unfiltered narrative.
As a Pittsburgh-based photographer, I’m here for the adventurers—the ones who live life to the fullest. Whether you’re celebrating family, eloping with your soulmate, growing your small business, or graduating high school, I’d love to document your story.
Ready for photos that truly tell your story?

An authentic approach
I keep it simple—just me, my camera, and a head full of creative ideas. With a little help from the sun, we’ll craft beautiful images that celebrate your candid story. Click on a photo below to explore more from each category
