Laura Eaton has been active in the wedding/lifestyle industry for over a decade. In 2003 she started Laura Eaton Photography and enjoyed tremendous success with her studio in Philadelphia, and photographed weddings around the world.

From 2008-2012, Laura became an event producer when she launched the yearly Soiree in the City event- a bridal & style event that connected discerning brides-to-be with the best in Philadelphia weddings & style. This was one of the first events to deviate from the standard “bridal show” presentation and create an event with interactive elements, gourmet food, craft cocktails & more.

In 2010, Laura founded Old City Collective. OCC was founded for creative professionals to share a meeting and event space in beautiful Old City Philadelphia. Laura saw a need in the industry for a space that would allow different professionals to meet with clients, host events and have a place of business in the city of Philadelphia – without the traditional expense that typically comes with a studio or boutique space. The idea was born our of collaboration and building a community.

Over the last seven years, Old City Collective has expanded and welcomed a diverse group of creative professionals, including photographers, videographers, designers and more.

With the development of Old City Collective, Laura has also taken on the role of being a small business expert for the wedding industry and entrepreneurs.
