Husband and wife team
Limavady wedding photographers who keep it real and relaxed
We have photographed weddings in Limavady at Drenagh Estate and Roe Valley Resort, formerly Roe Park Resort, and nearby at Beech Hill Country House outside Derry. We know how each venue works on the day and where the best photographs are, so you never have to worry about where to stand or what to do.
You will spend more time with your photographer than with almost anyone else on the day, so personality matters. We keep things calm and unposed, and we make you feel at ease, because that is when natural, relaxed photographs happen. Of you, your family and your friends. That is how we approach every wedding as Northern Ireland wedding photographers who put people first.
We are a husband and wife team and we only work together, so every couple has two photographers and nothing is missed.
Natural photographs, two photographers, no stiff posing.

Husband and wife team
Two photographers, one team who know each other inside out
We are Tommy and Laurene, and we have photographed weddings together since 2014. After all these years we can read each other across a room without saying a word, which means two perspectives on your Limavady wedding and a team that works as one.
The two people you chat to when you first get in touch are the two people who turn up on your wedding day. Whether you are marrying at Drenagh Estate, Roe Valley Resort, Beech Hill or somewhere new, there is never a second shooter you have never heard of, and never a handover to someone else.
We photograph your getting ready, your first look at each other and your portraits, always in a natural, unposed way.
While one of us is with you, the other is watching your partner's reaction, your parents and your guests, which is where so many of the best moments happen.
Two views of the same moment, from the aisle to the speeches, means a fuller story of your day when your gallery arrives.
How we spend your day
Mostly quietly watching
Most of your day is spent capturing it as it happens, and only a small part is spent borrowing you away from your guests. Here is roughly how we split a full day of documentary wedding photography.
From the morning prep to the dancing, no staging, no interrupting and no asking anyone to do that hug again. Two of us means we catch the moments you see and plenty of the ones you miss.
The only time we borrow you. Thirty minutes, a short walk and a bit of good light is all it takes, with no stiff posing, just the two of you getting a breather together.
Quick, organised and painless. We keep group photos moving so everyone important is in the gallery and back with the guests before they know it.
What our couples say
Kind words from Limavady area couples
What couples say about having Tommy and Laurene photograph their wedding day at Drenagh Estate, and at nearby Beech Hill Country House and Lissanoure Castle.
Where to start, firstly we are delighted with our wedding photos they are amazing and really captured our day. I’m not one who enjoys getting my photo taken in fact I was even considering not having a photographer at the wedding however I’m so happy I did and even more delighted that we chose Pure Photo NI. Tommy & Laurene made us feel so relaxed and comfortable when getting the photos done. It was as if we had know them a life time. You made getting photos taken an enjoyable experience which was something I never could have imagined.
I 100% recommend Pure Photo N.I. The photos were amazing. They were amazing to work with, they were friendly, great at communicating throughout the whole process, and the only regret I had at the wedding was that I didn’t get them to stay the whole night! You definitely can’t go wrong with Pure Photo N.I.
We organised our wedding from London and Tommy and Laurene were an absolute pleasure to work with, even from a distance. Great communication, very professional, and so easy to get on with, even though we didn’t meet in person until the big day. Tommy and Laurene put both of us and our families totally at ease throughout the wedding day, and we are thrilled with the number and quality of our wedding photos. Thoroughly recommend!
