OUR APPROACH TO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
IN NORTHERN IRELAND
Husband & Wife Team
We're Tommy and Laurene, a husband and wife wedding photography team based in Lisburn, Northern Ireland. Shooting together means you get two perspectives on your day, two pairs of eyes watching for the moments that matter, and a team that genuinely works together rather than two photographers who've just met.
What a Full Day of Wedding Photography Looks Like
Couples often ask what a full day of wedding photography actually looks like. Here is roughly how we split ours. Most of it is spent quietly capturing your day as it happens, and only a small part is spent borrowing you away from your guests.
Capturing the day as it happens
90%This is the heart of what we do. From the morning prep to the dancing, we photograph your day as it unfolds. No staging, no interrupting, no asking anyone to do that hug again. Two of us working together means we catch the moments you see and plenty of the ones you miss, so the photos feel like your actual wedding rather than a photo shoot.
Creative Portraits
5%The only time we borrow you. Thirty minutes, a short walk and a bit of good light is all it takes. No stiff posing, just the two of you getting a wee breather together while we work around you. You come back with a drink still in hand and the kind of photos that end up framed in the hall.
Relaxed Group Shots
5%Quick, organised and painless. We keep the group photos moving so they take up as little of your drinks reception as possible. Everyone important ends up in the gallery and everyone is back with the rest of the guests before they know it.
Getting to Know You
Every wedding we photograph is treated as a completely unique event. That starts from the very first time we chat. We'll take the time to get to know you both, your personalities, your plans, your back story, so that by the time your wedding day arrives, we already have a clear vision of how to tell your story. On the day itself, that means you don't have to think about us at all. Just enjoy every moment.
Candid & Natural Moments
During the ceremony we work as discreetly as possible, but for the rest of the day we like to be involved. We chat with your guests, we join in the laughter, and we make ourselves part of the day rather than only observers of it. When people are relaxed and comfortable around us, we capture photographs that simply wouldn't be possible any other way. The unguarded smiles, the quiet moments between the big ones, the looks that say everything.
Two Photographers, One Story
Our style blends creative portrait photography with documentary shooting, and having two of us in the room changes what's possible. While one of us photographs the first kiss, the other is on the reaction two rows back. One shoots wide to take in the whole scene, the other goes close on the detail. Same moment, two angles, and a story told more completely than one photographer ever could.

“Not just 100%, we would 1000% recommend Pure Photo N.I. Honestly we have never been so happy that we found Tommy and Laurene to do our wedding photos. The photos they captured are incredible. Two of the most down to earth people with a wealth of knowledge for photos and locations that made our day go so smoothly.
Every one of the many many photos in our album are fantastic, weve even got lots of beautiful natural photos we hadn’t realised at the time were being taken and we are delighted they were took cus they are breathtaking. The attention to detail for everything is absolutely amazing and the personal service is out of this world, we laughed and chatted like weve known each other forever, that’s how at ease these two make you feel. You will never get better wedding photographers anywhere else.”
