    She was superb!!!!! She was able to manage the time and take photos of everything during the whole day. It was a great experience working with a person like Laurie.

    She is very professional and knows how lighting works and how to capture photos in a way that is artistic/journalistic/telling a story. The pictures were beautiful.

    She is funny! and will make your day even more special and enjoyable! She understands how weddings/special events are so she knows what to do. Also, the price is reasonable!!! I looked everywhere for a photographer and she was the only one that was able to provide the quality I was looking for at a reasonable price!

    Fabulous Photographer

    We used Laurie for our wedding and she was fabulous! She had great ideas for where to take pictures, took multiple poses in the same location and was super easy to work with. She was great with listening to us and asking for a photo list, went over the timeline of everything. We have so many awesome pictures to pick from and we are so happy with our choice of photographer!

    2019 Tri-Association Conference

    Laurie DeWitt provided comprehensive photo coverage of our conference, covering 4 days with over 1,300 attendees. I cannot say enough about her professionalism and responsiveness. The photos are just amazing, capturing the essence of the event interlaced with a personal, human touch. Laurie is a consummate professional and a real artist as well as a delight to work with.

    Excellent wedding photographer!

    Laurie was the photographer for my wedding in July and she did an incredible job. We absolutely loved our engagement photos and our wedding photos. At the wedding, she and the second photographer who worked with her, Maura, were hard at work the whole night and got pictures of everyone who attended our 200+ person wedding. Our pictures turned out absolutely gorgeous. Laurie was extremely helpful and professional to work with when discussing logistics leading up to the wedding and always responded promptly when we reached out with questions. She sent us multiple albums to look at of summer weddings at venues similar to ours and set up a consultation phone call when we were deciding on a photographer. Her pricing was also very reasonable compared with other wedding photographers in the area of similar quality. Highly, highly recommend!

    Laurie was incredibly helpful and accommodating.

    Our wedding photographer cancelled on us last minute but luckily we found Laurie because she was wonderful. She was incredibly thorough and helpful in the planning process. She made sure to accommodate all of what we wanted and the pictures turned out amazing. I would definitely recommend her for your wedding.

    Laurie was amazing to work with! An engagement session was included in our wedding package. She was responsive to all of our questions and anticipated what we wanted for the important day! Laurie was the ultimate professional as she coordinated our must-have photos while using her creativity for fantastic shots! Laurie was one of the best choices we made.

    Laurie did an amazing job photographing our October wedding. She has an eye for the creative, artsy and unique shots that we were looking for, as well as the candid moments. We have so many amazing photos from the day, but my favorite is this whimsical carousel shot of me appearing to day dream. If you are looking to capture your days from a unique perspective, seek out Laurie, she will not disappoint!

    Laurie was wonderful! She's exceptionally easy to work with. She was like a ninja with a camera - capturing all the special moments and completely unobtrusive. And the pictures are fantastic!! It's going to be tough deciding which ones to put in an album. We will always treasure the photos she took of our wedding.

    Photography was my number one concern throughout the wedding planning process (as you can't redo the day or recapture it after it's over!). My mother and I stumbled across Laurie's page and after flipping through some samples of her work, we knew she was the one for us! She was organized, helpful, creative, and answered any and all of our questions! She was so amazing at corralling everyone to get the shots we wanted and was able to do so in a quick fashion, something the bridal party was definitely thankful for! The photos turned out absolutely amazing and we have so many favorites to choose from! I recommend Pure Light Images to anyone and everyone, no matter the occasion.

    My husband and I were married in June 2016 and we started researching photographers about a year before our wedding. First, we researched the average amount spent on wedding photographers. Somehow I ended up on Eventective (http://www.eventective.com/). I chose the photography category and signed up to receive quotes/information from photographers in the Baltimore area. Different photographers started contacting me, including Laurie DeWitt, owner of Pure Light Images. I really enjoyed that Laurie was super friendly, very professional, honest, helpful, and not pushy. When I told her I was still researching photographers, she provided tips to help with my search. One thing to be mindful of when searching for your wedding photographer is that larger photography companies, with multiple photographers, may show you the work done by their best photographers, but may actually book a less experienced photographer whose work they didn’t show you. It is also recommended to see at least 3 full weddings shots by the photographer you're considering hiring and that you read reviews about them. Laurie offered to meet with my husband and me for a consultation and we hired her that same day. I stayed in contact with her and about two weeks before the wedding we chatted on the phone and created a photography timeline of the wedding day. Laurie always made us feel at ease and the day of the wedding she even helped my bridesmaids put my wedding dress on! She truly went above and beyond. She caught a lot of priceless moments from our wedding and wasn’t “in the way of” the festivities. A couple weeks after the wedding she sends you a link to see your wedding photos online (watermarked) and a jump drive with all your photos (not watermarked). Laurie is an accomplished wedding photojournalist of 18 years and you can definitely see it in her work. Mostly everyone who has seen the wedding photos tells me how “in the moment” and beautiful they look. Most importantly, her price

    Laurie was very professional, she travelled to our wedding place and test different camera and lighting so that we could get get the best images. And we do! The images comes just 2 weeks after the wedding and looks fantastic! My mom was not at our wedding and she is so glad we have such a good photographer!

    After meeting Laurie for the first time, we knew that she was the one, and hiring her turned out to be one of the best decisions of our wedding. Laurie is personable, honest, direct, and very comfortable to be around. She was incredibly easy to work with and very responsive leading up to the wedding. There was never one moment where we regretted our decision, in fact, we constantly commented about how lucky we were to find her. We’ve been to many weddings in the area, but we have never seen a photographer work as hard as Laurie did on our wedding day. Many of our guests mentioned how dedicated she was to getting the perfect shot, and she was everywhere she needed to be for all the highlights of our wedding and reception without “getting in the way”. When we received our photos a month after the wedding we were blown away—the perfect mix of romantic pictures, party pictures, and artistic pictures. Laurie truly made us feel at home, and it truly made a difference in her photos. I can’t thank Laurie enough. She was absolutely a perfect match for us and we will be recommending her to everyone and anyone who is in the market for a photographer.

    We cannot say enough great things about Laurie. She was amazing and tons of fun to work with. She was very accommodating when it came to our engagement photos, and she met us in Patapsco State Park. Laurie made us feel comfortable, and the overall experience was so much fun! Our wedding photos turned out absolutely amazing! Laurie was able to capture the all the most important moments and then some.

    My wife and I got married this past October and Laurie was our photographer. To say she was amazing would be an understatement. Not only did she capture every moment and really truly captured us as a couple, she made us feel like a friend was taking our pictures. She remembered our likes/dislikes, our family dynamics, and was willing to do whatever we wanted to feel comfortable. She will be our life-long photographer and we couldn't be happier to say that! You will NOT be disappointed on both the professional and personal level!

    Laurie did an outstanding job photographing not only just only our wedding day but also with our engagement pictures, and I would certainly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for a wedding, party, corporate event, or family shoot or anything for that matter. She was professional, responsive, punctual, fun and very easy going. One thing I loved the most about Laurie was that she’s very down to earth and honest. If she feels that you are going to be pressed for time and running all over, she will tell you and give you options. She managed to take many memorable pictures, and we are so pleased with our individual and group shots. Her prices were not only extremely reasonable but it more than meets her excellent quality. We received a CD of nearly 1000 plus images for an 8-hour shoot and access to a website with the photos posted where friends and family could browse and request copies. They were ready in about 1 month after the actual event and I literally had no complaints with them at all! They were phenomenal. I will continue to recommend her to friends and family for photography needs. She is AMAZING!!!

    My daughter was married in December 2014 in Alexandria, VA. Being completely new to planning a wedding and not already knowing a good photographer, we were a bit nervous about how it would all turn out. After all, you only get married once! From the first meeting to the end of the reception, Laurie was amazing. Laurie was full of ideas and suggestions for us newbies as well as insisting on obtaining our limited thoughts on what was important. We felt completely at ease knowing that she knew what she was doing and would seek the best shot or angle the entire night. It was clear that she wanted to do the job well and cared that we had the best photos. Laurie's professionalism, eye for detail and creativity made every photo great. Thank you Laurie for helping make our day special!

    Wedding photography: Outstanding communication and dialog pre-wedding. Excellent (and appropriate) high level of involvement during the wedding, even helping to fix a falling boutonniere! Posted photos for review within 24 hours (actually the night of the afternoon wedding!) So easy to work with for post-wedding questions about photo choices and production. Very creative photographer. I feel that Laurie is a top choice for wedding photography.

    Laurie shot our engagement photos this past weekend. I talked with her on a Sunday night and she was shooting our photos the next Sunday. I was so grateful she was able to accommodate us at the last minute and she was so nice about it! I expressed to her that I had been unhappy with some photos I had previously had done and I was very upset as I wanted my engagement photos to be something I could cherish for years to come and something I was excited and proud to show off. Laurie was great about emailing me and listening to what I wanted. She really captured the shots I was wanting for our Save the Dates! :) She was very quick to upload the photos so I could see them and very fairly priced. I would highly recommend Laurie and my fiance and I will be using her for family photos in the future!

    Laurie responded to an email I sent via Thumbtack when looking for a photographer for my daughter's wedding which was to take place in Gambril State Park, Md. We communicated mainly through email since I was in Florida. Laurie was in constant contact with my daughter and made sure her wedding was just as my daughter envisioned. The wedding was very small and intimate and the pictures were magnificent. Laurie did an awesome job, was very friendly and professional. I highly recommend her as she will capture your wedding beautifully.
