Light, Love and Happiness – Introducing Laura Debourde Wedding Photography

Now we’re into February, I think I’m perfectly justified in mentioning Valentine’s Day. Personally, I don’t think I need a specific date in the diary to tell someone I love them but I do adore the excuse to do something special in the dark days of late winter. However, sitting down to write this feature introducing you to the lovely Laura Debourde and her beautiful wedding photography, it seemed as if the sun had come out. So, without further ado, let’s hear from Laura and warm ourselves with her light, bright and altogether lovely images…

Laura Debourde is more than a little bit of an artist, in every sense of the word. After studying at the amazing Central St. Martins College of Art & Design, she drew on her love of Fine Art when she was asked to photograph a colleague’s wedding and that, as they say, was that.

“I’ve never looked back!  I was stuck for months, whether to do ‘the done thing’ and get a job or whether to try and make it on my own. In the end, I decided to set up my own business, which was an incredibly scary decision at the time. However, it was definitely the best choice for me and I’m so glad that I decided to take the leap.”

From her base in South-East London, on the Kent border, Laura Debourde travels around the UK with her cameras in hand and has even shot weddings in the USA where her natural, romantic style has been incredibly popular. And, let’s not forget the brightness in every image that just makes you smile.

“I’ve always loved filling my photographs with lots of light and love and happiness,” says Laura. “This is a huge part of my style and also the way I work. I’m not into overly posed photos because I want my photographs to be fresh and warm and to deliver timeless images to my clients that they’ll adore forever.”

Laura’s love of light is also seen in the way she happily describes herself as an outdoor girl, walking in Greenwich and simply reveling in the easy joy of sunny days. This is certainly something I can relate to and I’m also on-board with Laura’s addiction stationery and the happiness that good old snail mail can bring:

“I love going the extra mile for my clients and as I’m rather obsessed with stationery and sending things in the post, my couples can expect lots of little surprises along the way. Most importantly to me, this helps us get to know each other and I think it’s vital that my couples feel relaxed and comfortable with me in front of the camera. We always meet up before the wedding day for lunch and also see the venue and have a short pre-wedding shoot together.”

So, I think you can probably understand why I’ve fallen a little bit for Laura Debourde whilst preparing this feature – a wonderful photographer who produces gorgeous light filled images that are full of love and come complete with all the personal attention you could ever want. This love is also reciprocated because Laura is indeed head-over-heels with weddings…

“I adore everything about weddings. Seeing people at their happiest and being welcomed into quite often the biggest day in someone’s life is absolutely incredible and I couldn’t imagine a better job. To me, photography is just so important and capturing memories is the best job ever.”
