Every wedding day has its own unique story.

There’ll be poster-worthy moments like your arrival, vows, first kiss, and first dance. 

Then there’s the things you’ll remember most fondly in the years to come. These things aren’t set up, posed, or structured. They just happen. And you can only capture them if you’re in the right place at the right time.

From my experience, these are the shots that fill every great wedding album.

It’s the family member who ‘never cries’ wiping away a tear.

The day-saving adjustment to your train you were blissfully unaware of.

Or the reactions you didn’t see because you were in the moment the whole day long.

If you want someone who feels like another guest,

who captures the meaningful moments in ways that will make your heart smile, and to see your special day the way everyone else watched it unfold, then let’s have a chat.

“some testimonials”

"We used Laurence for our wedding and we were so happy with the results - he was fantastic on the day and fitted in really easily with all the other things happening before and after the ceremony. The photos were a gorgeous mix of beautiful and natural, and all our family are so impressed with them! So glad we picked Laurence, couldn't have imagined a better photographer."

"Laurence is a high quality photographer. He captured our wedding perfectly. My husband and I felt very comfortable around him, we didn't have to pose (which we hate) and we had so much fun!
I 100% recommend him! Thanks again, Laurence :D"

"Laurence J McDonald took our wedding photos and we think he is a top photographer. He created a really comfortable and creative atmosphere for us, he also delivered in all the areas that were important to us and probed to have a unique eye behind the camera and in edition. We feel very grateful to have had him taking care of the photos with such a sensibility during this unforgettable day of our life."

“We attended a mates’ wedding a few months before our own and were blown away with how their photos turned out so we decided to go with Laurence too to photograph our own wedding. He was so great to work with - professional but relaxed and totally open to our ideas while providing really helpful guidance along the way. He has such an incredible ability to capture those special and candid moments that we want to remember in years to come, and his photos truly reflect the amazing day and night we had. Can’t thank you enough, Laurence!”
