New Westminster Weddings And Photoshoots

If you are planning a New Westminster wedding or photoshoot and want bold, candid and artistic images, Pursell Photography has photographed couples throughout this historic riverfront city, from modern venues and ballrooms to parks, alleyways and the Fraser River boardwalk.
We use creative off camera lighting and a relaxed, photojournalistic approach so you can stay present with your guests while we create dramatic photos that feel like your story and show off New West’s mix of old and new architecture.

Weddings In New Westminster

New Westminster is the oldest city in British Columbia and has a unique mix of heritage buildings, modern developments and riverfront paths that are perfect for urban style weddings.
You can have your ceremony in a park, heritage space or modern venue and then walk a few minutes to the boardwalk, alleys or viewpoints for portraits.

We love working here because you can combine industrial textures, murals, glass, brick and water in one day, which fits our bold, cinematic style.
Our approach is to guide you just enough to feel comfortable, then step back to capture the real moments that happen between you and your favourite people.
