PHOTOGRAPHY to
CELEBRATE you
I'm Laura May, the photographer behind Laura May Photography - a romantic, fine-art documentary wedding photographer based in Shropshire, photographing weddings across the UK.
Since 2016 I've photographed 150+ weddings for couples who care just as much about the atmosphere and the people as the details.
For me, it’s about more than beautiful images - it’s about preserving the love, joy, and connection no matter what you've booked me to capture.
You can see more of how I approach wedding days here.
But in a nutshell; give me PDA, hugs with your besties, all the colour, tears overflowing, your drunk mate climbing the marquee poll - just give me all the love and celebration, in whatever way that makes the day uniquely yours. I'll love being in the middle of it all!

Storyteller.
I’m a natural storyteller, drawing on years of experience capturing life’s biggest milestones. My journey began with a camera gifted by my grandfather - the man who first sparked my creativity and inspired my love for timeless imagery.
My love for family runs deep, and I understand how important it is to document the moments that matter most. Yep, that's me in the pushchair smiling at the camera, probably saying "cheeese!"
Trusted.
This love for documenting personal milestones has stayed with me. From photographing my very first wedding for a friend back in 2016 to building Laura May Photography into the trusted brand it is today with over 150+ couples trusting me.
My background in people-focused roles taught me how to adapt quickly and read the energy of a room, allowing me to blend seamlessly into wedding celebrations. It’s an approach rooted in trust and genuine connection - values you’ll feel throughout my wedding experience.
Nostalgic.
With a deep appreciation for nostalgia and sentimentality, I bring a timeless, vibrant approach to every celebration I photograph.
My couples aren’t just looking for beautiful images; they want to feel at ease, celebrated, and entirely themselves. I’m drawn to couples who embrace their love openly, surrounded by the people who matter most, knowing I’ll capture their day in a relaxed yet refined style.
You can explore some of my recent full-day weddings to see how that translates in real life.
BEHIND
the LENS
As a Shropshire wedding photographer capturing love stories across the UK, I believe the best photographs come from a place of connection; noticing the small glances, the big laughs, and everything in between.
If you're planning a country house wedding in Shropshire or beyond and want photography that feels as good as it looks; I'd genuinely love to hear about your day. I take on a limited number of weddings each year... so let's do this?!
*sadly Reggie passed recently, but he was such a big part of my life I can't bring myself to take him off here just yet!
When I’m not at a wedding, you’ll probably find me at a live gig, wandering a windswept coastal path with Reggie*, lifting at the gym, or sinking into a vinyasa flow on a beachside yoga retreat.
“Obsessed with the photos and proudly showing them off to literally anyone, whether they've asked or not”
