Incredible Wedding Photographer
I had the most amazing experience officiating a wedding that Will photographed on top of a mountain. His ability to use existing light, then supplementing it with flash, created some of the most outstanding wedding photos I've ever seen. Will was the complete professional, allowing the wedding ceremony to be recorded without intruding. I HIGHLY recommend Will Purcell Photography and can't wait to officiate another ceremony with Will behind the camera!

It wasn’t just a photoshoot, it was an adventure!
It wasn’t just a photoshoot, it was an adventure!
When we were researching for a photographer to help us with our pre wedding pictures, we were immediately drawn to Will’s style, it was dramatic, artistic and most of all romantic.
Lauren was excellent to communicate with, she was prompt, brief and precise. From choosing our package to our itinerary for the day, it was perfectly explained and laid out for us.
During the shoot they were very friendly and professional, he knew exactly what he was looking for in regards to shots and knew exactly where to take us to achieve it. Lauren was in charge of lighting and taking behind the scene shots, they’re completely in sync and seamless.
Lauren & Will is the perfect team and we are so happy that we found them, you must too!

Best Wedding Photos EVER
To put it plainly - Lauren and Will are second to none when it comes to wedding photography. The way they manipulate light and shadows is like nothing I have ever seen. Were they on the pricier end? Yes! But I can't imagine having spent a penny less to get a much more mediocre product. They were absolutely amazing to work with. We felt comfortable and understood. And during the wedding it was like they weren't even there. I barely remember seeing them the whole time, but my photos were absolutely spectacular. You're crazy to hire someone else to save a few bucks. Find it in your budget because they are SO WORTH IT.

Amazing!! Stop searching, you've found your photographers!
Choosing Will and Lauren to capture our big day was hands down, one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!
After seeing them work for my friend's wedding as a bridesmaid, I knew we had to choose them for our wedding! (funnily enough, she told me later on that I had been the one to originally suggest Will and Lauren as "the photographers I would choose if I was engaged" when she was on the hunt for a photographer for her wedding. So when my husband and I were finally planning our wedding we took it as a sign that it was meant to be!)
Will and Lauren's ability to capture one of the most important days of your life is incredible. From start to finish they are adaptable in any environment, have extreme attention to detail and could even bring out a true smile in my husband who is notorious for his 'Chandler' smile. Needless to say they make you feel 100% at ease and comfortable!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Will and Lauren, you can trust that you're in the best hands with these two! We're so happy with how our photos turned out and so thankful to have such high-quality photos to remember our day forever with!

September 2023 Wedding
Will and Lauren Pursell were absolutely wonderful to work with for our wedding. They took beautiful photos at our pre wedding shoot as well as at our ceremony and reception. They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and truly showcased the beauty of Vancouver and our venues in all the photos. If you want wedding photos that look like pure art, these are the photographers for you.

Worth Every Cent
Will & Lauren were a dream to work with and we cannot recommend them enough, you will not regret hiring them. The pictures they took were stunningly beautiful and they went above and beyond our expectations, they are incredibly professional, responsive and capture your day unique to you and your partner. They inject your personalities into each picture they take, we were absolutely blown away with the proof of our album, we could never of imagined seeing our day laid out so beautifully. They sent us a slideshow of our pictures set to music which was an amazing surprise which we must of watched over a hundred times (which says a lot as we were not into the whole “wedding thing”). I cannot say enough good things about the two of them, a delight to work with!!! You will not regret hiring them... worth.every.cent!!!

These are the kind of photos your friends wish they had of their wedding!
Will & Lauren's photographs stood out to us against a very crowded marketplace, where most wedding photos we saw seemed generic. We loved their ability to capture fun, candid, moments and the natural beauty of the BC landscape.
We originally booked them to shoot our wedding at the Sea to Sky Gondola in Squamish, where they had previously taken some amazing photos. Unfortunately, 6 days before our wedding the gondola was vandalized and we were forced to find new venues. Will & Lauren were so supportive and tried to help us find new locations, which helped us feel a lot less stressed. They adapted to our new locations and timelines effortlessly and were up for the challenge of photographing venues that they hadn't worked at before.
We felt so comfortable in front of them that it was really easy to take direction. It was a lot of fun realizing that one of them was off in the bushes or climbing over rocks to get the perfect shot, while the other was capturing us from another angle. It is really clear they love what they do, and they work really well together.
It wasn't just us that thought they were great: our guests thought Will & Lauren were really professional and were impressed with all the equipment they brought with them. They also thought it was amazing how they were in the thick of all the action, without actually being in the way!
We knew that our photos would be incredible, but we were blown away when we received them. We couldn't be happier with what Will & Lauren have done for us: given us some amazing memories that we can't wait to frame and put on our wall (it's just a shame our wall isn't big enough for all of them!)

Perfection!
Where to begin, Will and Lauren are amazing people who love what they do. From the engagement photos in the rain to the sunny wedding day pictures, all turned out amazing! They are truly in a league of their own. Will and Lauren were so easy to work with and made us feel instantly at ease. They can make do with the smallest spaces and most common of locations and produce results that are absolutely gorgeous and surreal. We were so impressed from the first day we contacted them, the communication was incredibly quick, the suggestions were diverse and really catered to our interests and the results surprised us in the very best way. There were some one of a kind original shots that we didn’t even realize they had taken! It was like they were all places at once. After friends and family saw our wedding and engagement gallery photos, we had multiple people asking for their contact information. Our experience with them was five star and the photos are unbeatable.. We are overjoyed and proud to recommend Will and Lauren to anyone looking for photographers, if you are on the hunt for perfection, stop looking! You’ve found the best of the best.

Will and Lauren were the photographers for our wedding and they were absolutely amazing! All of the photos were so incredibly gorgeous with each image telling its own story of the day!! The way they play with the lighting in a photo is masterful! They are truly an amazing talent and we are so thankful that we found them!!

Will and Lauren are true professionals and the level of care that they showed in capturing our day is beyond amazing. There were so many little moments and we were so glad that they were there to document all of them! With each picture, every emotion just leaps right out of the photo!
