Will Pursell Photo now presents itself online as Pursell Photography. The official website identifies Will and Lauren as the married photography team behind the business and documents active wedding, elopement and portrait services. Couples comparing Vancouver wedding photographers can use this profile to assess the team’s style, coverage, service area, published starting prices and practical questions to raise before booking.

The official portfolio combines candid, photojournalistic coverage with directed portraits and creative off-camera lighting. The team says it has photographed more than 500 weddings over 17-plus years in Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and the Sea-to-Sky region. Last reviewed: August 9, 2026.

Services and specialization

Pursell Photography documents full wedding days, elopements, small weddings and multi-day celebrations. Its wedding portfolio describes a mixture of dramatic portraits, emotional moments, details and lively candid photographs. Will and Lauren say they work unobtrusively while events unfold, then provide direction when a portrait calls for it.

The current full-day wedding collection names both Will and Lauren as photographers. Edited photographs are delivered through an online gallery, and the collection includes a credit toward an album or wall art. Elopement and portrait offerings include location planning, à-la-carte pricing, a remote ordering session and album or wall-art options.

Photography approach and finished products

The two-photographer approach is a documented part of the wedding service. The portfolio says the team always works with two photographers, allowing the same moment to be covered from different positions. Their stated visual approach pairs real, unscripted moments with deliberately lit portraits rather than relying on one style throughout the gallery.

For couples interested in printed work, Pursell offers custom-designed flush-mount albums. The official album page describes archival photographic paper, lay-flat panoramic spreads, thick pages, customizable covers and collaborative design sessions led by Lauren. Albums and wall art may also be selected after the wedding.

Service area and who it may suit

The business markets wedding photography across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland, with documented work in the Fraser Valley and Sea-to-Sky region. Its website also names Whistler and Vancouver Island among frequently served areas and says destination work is available. Travel is included for most British Columbia locations, but couples should confirm whether that applies to their venue and itinerary.

This team may suit couples who want candid coverage without giving up guided portraits, or who value dramatic lighting for dark interiors, winter evenings and wet weather. It may also be relevant to couples planning an elopement, a multi-location day or a celebration that they want preserved in a professionally designed album. Final suitability should be judged from complete galleries representing similar venues and lighting conditions.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

Documented service features include two photographers for weddings, off-camera lighting, backup gear, planning help, edited online galleries and physical artwork options. The official site also provides substantial wedding and elopement portfolios, regional galleries and venue guides, giving couples several ways to evaluate the team’s visual approach before enquiring.

The public starting prices are not complete quotations. The current homepage does not specify the final number of delivered photographs, editing turnaround, exact coverage hours for every collection, taxes, cancellation terms or all potential travel charges. No current street address or phone number was verified on the official pages reviewed, so those fields are intentionally left blank. These are evidence gaps to resolve during consultation, not criticisms of the service.

Pricing

The current official homepage states that full-day wedding photography starts at $4,500. The listed starting collection includes Will and Lauren, full-day coverage, edited images in an online gallery, and a credit toward album or wall art. The website does not label the currency beside that figure, so couples should confirm currency, applicable taxes and the exact value and conditions of the product credit.

Elopements and portraits start at $800. The published outline mentions location planning, à-la-carte pricing, a Zoom ordering session, and album or wall-art options. Because the business builds custom collections, the final price can depend on the event, coverage and products selected.

Contact and booking

The verified booking route is the consultation form on the official website. Couples are asked to share their date, venue or location and an outline of their plans so the team can confirm availability. The site says replies generally arrive within 24 to 48 hours and advises checking the spam folder if a response is not visible.

Pursell Photography says most couples book 12 to 18 months ahead. That is planning guidance rather than a guarantee of availability; the photographers should confirm the requested date directly. Since an official phone number and public mailing address were not established during this review, use the website rather than the legacy CWG contact details.

What couples should confirm

Before signing, ask for a complete gallery from a wedding with comparable timing, venue type and lighting. Confirm who will photograph the day, the exact start and finish times, how additional coverage is priced, the expected image count and delivery schedule, and how galleries are backed up and retained.

The written proposal should also clarify travel, parking, accommodation, taxes, payment dates, rescheduling or cancellation terms, usage and printing rights, album credit, album revisions and any wall-art costs. Elopement clients should confirm what the $800 starting option covers and whether location permits, transportation or specialized access are separate.
