Real moments, bold lighting, and a worry free experience.

We’re Will and Lauren, Vancouver wedding photographers behind Pursell Photography, married, slightly obsessed with good light, and big believers in documenting weddings as they actually feel.

After photographing over 500+ weddings in Vancouver, Fraser Valley and Sea to Sky British Columbia, we’ve learned how to stay calm, adapt fast, and create bold, honest images in any location and any weather, so you can relax and enjoy the day with your favourite people. Learn more about us.

The Wedding Photo Worries We Hear All the Time

We’ve taken some of our best photos during rainstorms and in challenging lighting. We bring our own gear and know how to shape light, so even tough conditions turn into dramatic, beautiful backdrops. See why to hire a professional photographer that uses light. 

Most of our couples say the same thing at first. We give you just enough direction to look great, then step back and let you be yourselves. Our reviews consistently mention how comfortable and natural the whole experience felt.

We review your wedding timeline and venue details, then provide specific photo recommendations. We’ll recommend how much time you need for couples portraits, family formals, and getting ready shots so you’re not rushed and you get all the images you want. We also suggest the best times and locations at your venue for optimal lighting. See the top Vancouver photo spots in every neighborhood.

Neither do we. That’s why albums and wall art are a big part of what we do. We’ll help you choose designs that fit your home and your style, so your story actually lives with you.

Our process and lighting skills are built to solve all of this, so you can actually enjoy your wedding.
