Their goal is to create timeless, natural images that feel as comfortable to look at years from now as they did on the day. Why choose Lightdraw for your wedding? Their strength is in making people feel relaxed.

Practical care and finishing are part of the Lightdraw promise. Clients receive a password-protected online gallery for easy sharing, and hand-crafted album design and print options are available to make your images permanent.
