Husband and wife team
Newry wedding photographers who keep it real and relaxed
We have photographed weddings in Newry at Canal Court Hotel and Killeavy Castle Estate, so we know how each venue works on the day and where the best photographs are. That local knowledge means you never have to worry about where to stand or what to do. Newry is one of many places we visit as wedding photographers who work across Northern Ireland.
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.
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.

Where we photograph
Newry wedding venues
We have photographed weddings at each of these venues, so we know the grounds, the light and the best spots for portraits. Follow the links to read more or see a real wedding.
Canal Court Hotel
A hotel in the centre of Newry that is popular with couples who want their ceremony, reception and accommodation under one roof. It can host large weddings, and the staircase inside works well for photographs.
Read the venue guideKilleavy Castle Estate
Just outside Newry, a restored castle with woodland and mountain views, well known for outdoor ceremonies. All of the photography areas are within the estate.

Nearby venues we have worked at
A country estate with gardens and parkland. See a wedding here.
Canal Court has no grounds of its own, so we plan a second location for portraits. Where possible the hotel can arrange for couples to use the gardens at its sister hotel, the Carrickdale Hotel in Dundalk, where we have photographed couples in the landscaped grounds with the Cooley Mountains behind. Getting married somewhere else near Newry? We photograph weddings all over Northern Ireland, so just get in touch and tell us where.

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 Newry 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 Canal Court Hotel, Killeavy Castle Estate 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 Newry area couples
What couples say about having Tommy and Laurene photograph their wedding day at Killeavy Castle Estate and Canal Court Hotel in Newry, and at nearby Hugh McCann’s.
We honestly could not have chosen better photographers for our wedding day. Thank you for capturing not only beautiful photos, but the emotions, the love, and the little moments that we will treasure forever. Looking through our gallery honestly made us cry because it felt like reliving the entire day all over again. Thank you for being so kind, patient, and amazing throughout everything. We truly could not recommend you enough.
We are so so happy with the photos of our wedding! We couldn’t recommend Pure Photo N.I enough. They make your day effortless and easy, whilst capturing the most amazing and special moments. Best in the business, highly recommend!
Had the pleasure of booking Pure Photo for our wedding in January. Couldn’t recommend Tommy and Laurene highly enough. Made everybody feel really at ease and took some beautiful uninvasive photos. Completely professional at all times but still up for having a laugh and taking some unconventional shots. Delighted with everything, thanks again so so much!

Your wedding day
What it is like having us at your Newry wedding
Many couples tell us they feel nervous about being photographed. We understand, and that is exactly why we keep things relaxed. You get on with celebrating, and we quietly capture the story unfolding around you.
Natural photographs, two photographers, no stiff posing.
You will not be herded around or told to do that again. We work around you, so your day feels like your day and not a photo shoot.
Group photographs are quick and organised, so you are back with your family and friends and enjoying the drinks reception as soon as possible.
About thirty minutes, a short walk and some good light is all we need. There is no stiff posing, just the two of you taking a breather together.
Your photographs arrive in a private online gallery with high resolution downloads, ready to share and to print.

Which Newry wedding venues do you work at?
We have photographed weddings at Canal Court Hotel in Newry and at Killeavy Castle Estate just outside the city. We have also worked at the Carrickdale Hotel in Dundalk, and at nearby County Down venues including the Slieve Donard, Hugh McCann's, Millbrook Lodge and Montalto Estate. We love working at new venues too, so wherever you choose, we would be happy to photograph it.
Where are the best places for wedding photos in Newry?
It depends on your venue and your timings. Killeavy Castle Estate has the castle, woodland and mountain views all in one place. Canal Court Hotel has a striking staircase but no grounds, so we plan a second location with you, and where possible the hotel can arrange for you to use the gardens at its sister hotel, the Carrickdale Hotel in Dundalk. Some locations need permission, so we talk it through with you in advance.
Do you photograph weddings in Newry and the surrounding area?
Yes. We photograph weddings in Newry, in the surrounding countryside and across Northern Ireland, so wherever you are getting married, get in touch and tell us your date.
Do I need two photographers for my Newry wedding?
You do not have to choose, because both Tommy and Laurene photograph every wedding. While one of us photographs you, the other is watching your partner's reaction and your guests. Those are the moments couples treasure most, and they are only possible with two photographers.
Do you travel to Newry?
Yes. We photograph weddings all over Northern Ireland and Ireland, including Newry, and there is no extra travel charge for weddings within Northern Ireland. A travel supplement applies to venues outside Northern Ireland.
What happens if it rains on our wedding day?
Rain is part of life in Northern Ireland, so we always plan for it. Many of our favourite photographs were taken under cloud, and we will help you find sheltered spots at your venue for portraits, whatever the weather does.
How far in advance should I book?
As soon as your date is confirmed. Popular dates, especially Fridays and Saturdays in summer, can fill up a long way in advance, though we do sometimes have last minute availability. Send us a quick message on WhatsApp and we will tell you straight away if we are free.
Will you photograph a small or micro wedding in Newry?
Absolutely. We love small weddings, from a ceremony with just the two of you and two witnesses to a day with close family. Have a look at our micro wedding packages.
When will we get our photographs?
Your gallery is delivered within six weeks of your wedding, with high resolution downloads and a print shop. If you cannot wait, our fast edit add on guarantees your photos within 10 days for an extra £400.
