Lawson Photography bio picture

Welcome

Thank you for stopping by our blog! We are Pete and Laura - this is us to the left, looking suitably loved up. We're quite easy to tell apart, Pete has a beard and Laura doesn't.

We're obsessed with taking pictures. Our favourite pictures are when there's some real emotion involved. We don't really care about pretty buildings and fields (well, within reason - some are very pretty), give us a newly married couple that want to have a kiss and a cuddle and we can take pictures all day! Which is convenient, given our choice of job!

This blog is where you can see sneak previews of recent weddings, portrait shoots, and any exciting news about us. We hope you enjoy looking!

Lunch with the Randalls

We had a lovely lunch last week with fellow photographers ‘The Randalls’.  Stewart is feverishly working on Folio Albums, which we’re really excited about being able to show you in the next few months!  Based in the UK, beautiful real leather (no pleather or bonded leather here!), fine art paper – I can’t see how these albums could not be awesome, and the prototypes are looking very special!

While we were there they made us pay for our food by taking a few pictures for Grandma’s birthday present.  Here’s our favourite:

Nia & Gareth’s Wedding at Peckforton Castle

What a lovely relaxed wedding!  Nia and Gareth chose the gorgeous Peckforton Castle for their big day, with a late ceremony (4pm) and then a big party to celebrate with their guests.  This is probably the darkest wedding we’ve shot, but the candlelit ceremony was lovely and emotional so there was plenty to try and capture.  In the evening they had a ceilidh, which is a fabulous way to get all your guests up dancing (check out the post below for the dancing in action!).

A Short Video – Nia & Gareth’s Ceilidh

Here’s a little video I shot on Friday of Pete and the lovely guests at Nia and Gareth’s wedding, dancing the night away (the guests that is; Pete was mostly snapping away!).

The music is ‘Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy’ by Tchaikovsky, performed by Kevin MacLeod.

Happy 80th Birthday Grandma!
