Louise Murnane is a specialist wedding photographer based in Bishops Stortford. She crafts relaxed, natural wedding and engagement images that tell your story with warmth and authenticity.
Hi, I’m Louise — the photographer behind Louise Murnane Photography, based in Elsenham on the Bishops Stortford border. I specialise in wedding photography and engagement sessions, bringing over a decade of experience and a calm, friendly presence to your day. My aim is simple: to capture honest, timeless images that reflect the real moments, laughter and emotion that make your wedding uniquely yours. I work in a relaxed, semi‑posed style — I’ll gently guide you into flattering positions, then step back and let the connection between you and your partner show. That balance creates photographs that feel effortless and true; natural portraits alongside the small, intimate details that you’ll want to revisit again and again. Whether you’re planning an intimate registry wedding or a full day celebration, I focus on storytelling: the glances, the embraces, the unscripted moments that become the heart of your album. Being local to Bishops Stortford and the Essex/Herts border means I know many of the region’s venues and the best light at each location. I take time before the wedding to understand your vision — from a pre-wedding chat to planning key shots — so on the day you feel confident and comfortable. My approach is warm and unobtrusive: I aim to put you at ease so you can enjoy your day while I capture it. Every wedding is different, and I edit each gallery with care to create a cohesive, timeless collection of images. Galleries are delivered via a private online gallery for easy sharing with family and friends, and I can help with prints and bespoke albums should you want a tangible memory to pass down. Choosing a wedding photographer is choosing who will preserve the story of your day. If you want relaxed, authentic wedding and engagement photography from a specialist who values connection, atmosphere and timeless storytelling, let’s talk. I’m based in Bishops Stortford and love photographing weddings across Essex and Hertfordshire — get in touch to discuss your plans and how we can capture them beautifully.
