Laura Fitzgerald Photography

Hey, I'm Laura.
A UK & Destination documentary photographer with a bold editorial flair. Perfect for couples who want their wedding to feel as powerful in photos as it did in real life.
I'm based in the UK but I cover Wedding's all the world and I am very passionate about creating a safe, inclusive space where every couple feels truly seen and celebrated!
How I cater to offbeat weddings
I didn’t become a wedding photographer the usual way…
I became one after my own wedding photos were ruined. They were out of focus, overexposed, and completely soulless. Our photographer, a friend, bailed last minute without telling us. His replacement was unprofessional and the result left me heartbroken.
Out of thousands of images, I salvaged ten.
That pain became my purpose…
Now, I’m the photographer I needed that day, someone who shows up, gives a damn, and captures every moment with care, creativity and intention. No one deserves to feel what I did.
These days, I photograph weddings for people who do things their own way. The wildly in love. The rule breakers, the velvet wearers, the ones who know the vibe matters more than tradition. My style? Dark, moody, romantic and raw. I blend documentary storytelling with editorial flair. I capture fleeting glances, quiet touches, and those gorgeously unfiltered in between moments. I also guide when needed and hang back when it’s right. With 14 years of photography experience, I shoot based on prompts, not rigid poses, unless you want them (and if you do, I’ve got you).
Now I work full time as a photographer. I specialise in real, editorial and alternative wedding photography as well as lifestyle, commercial & boudoir. I champion people who don’t always feel seen in the mainstream industry or ‘societal norms’.
And I’m also the proud Founder & Director of Dark Wedding Collective, a community first platform for alternative suppliers and couples. It’s a space built for the offbeat, the bold, the beautiful, the neurodivergent, the queer, the tattooed, the dramatic, the wild and the wonderfully weird.
I’m here to help you feel safe, celebrated and completely yourself!
On the most important day of your life!
This isn’t just photography. It’s my passion. It’s personal.
And it all started with ten photos I had to save myself.
"I cannot express how absolutely phenomenal Laura has been! She full on clambered across slippery rocks and submerged herself in freezing water just to get the shot. She’s so laid back and relaxing to be around (which was such a relief because I’m so socially awkward and nervous) but is clearly very focus behind the scenes working hard at editing to perfect absolutely everything. I would 100% recommend her to absolutely everyone. She’s like sunshine in human form."
If you’ve found your way here, chances are we’re already on the same wavelength... And I love that.
