Vendor Spotlight: Laurel Roots Photography

Preserving the Kind of Moments You’ll Still Feel in 10 Years

There’s something extraordinary about the moments you don’t plan for: a quiet laugh, a glance between glances, the still-in-motion of a day unfolding. That’s what Laurel Roots Photography—led by Abbey Proffitt—is all about. Based in Cincinnati, Ohio, she sees weddings and elopements not just as events to capture, but stories to tell.

Her images feel both magazine-worthy and deeply real—inviting you into the room again, not just to see how the day looked, but to feel how it felt.

About Laurel Roots Photography

Abbey started the business with a vision rooted in authenticity and artistry. Born and raised in Kentucky, she brings a natural warmth and thoughtful presence to every shoot.

She blends a documentary approach (the unplanned moments) with editorial styling (the portraits that stop time), offering couples an experience that’s relaxed yet elevated. Whether you’re exchanging vows in a historic Ohio venue or eloping overseas, her lens captures your story fully.

Where She Works

  • Primary Location: Cincinnati, Ohio
  • Service Areas: Greater Ohio region + world-wide availability for destination weddings
  • Preferred Settings: Historic venues, intimate elopements, editorial portrait sessions.

What Makes Her Unique

Laurel Roots Photography stands out because Abbey cares deeply about the feel of your day—not just the visuals. She gets to know you, your rhythm, and what moves you, then captures that with a refined — yet approachable — aesthetic.

Typically her clients spend between $3,000–$5,000 for photography (depending on hours of coverage)
