Laura Segall Photography
Elegant Storytelling Photojournalism
Written by Laura Segall for Fresh from the Kitchen LLC's blog

Some of my earliest memories are of my grandmother, Honey Bunny, hanging out at the photography portrait studio where she worked in Milwaukee. Honey Bunny was also the historian of the family. Whenever she would come and visit our family in Virginia she would work on creating chronological photo albums of me and my sisters. I feel that her role as family historian played a part in my own passion for capturing memories. I was also lucky that my parents always encouraged me to pursue my interest in photography. I was given my first camera when I was about 8- years-old and I have had a camera in my hand ever since.

I studied photography at the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York, where I earned a BFA and met my husband David Wallace, who is also a photojournalist. After graduating from college I traveled around the country working as a photojournalist for newspapers in Michigan, Maine, Maryland and Iowa, before moving to Arizona in 2006. Since settling in Phoenix I have built a freelance photojournalism and wedding business. My photography has appeared in the New York Times, Newsweek Magazine, USA Today, Shape Magazine, the Washington Post as well as countless national and international publications.

My experience as a photojournalist and love for photography is the perfect combination for great wedding photography. When documenting a wedding my goal is to give each couple a complete story told through pictures. I want the photographs to evoke a memory and sense of place. I do not have a formula when photographing a wedding or event. I capture life as it happens. It is important to me that the personality and unique beauty of the bride and groom shine through in the photographs.

I am available for weddings in Arizona and worldwide.
