About
You have put so much thought into every detail: the perfect dress, the cool venue, the elegant centre pieces, but at the crux of every wedding is a very meaningful and soulful human affair.
Hello, I'm Lorna, and I want to capture and preserve your wedding story through a beautiful collection of sensitive and emotive wedding photographs. I have worked as a London-based wedding photographer for over 10 years, capturing couples across all faiths and cultures in this amazing city. Trends come and go, but I strive towards timeless imagery, using light in a sensitive way, using classical framing and keeping colours true in post-production. My style is elegant and effortless, and my strength lies in my ability to catch the 'in-between' moments that are so often missed.
If you are looking for a photographic storyteller with a calm presence, who works in a fluid and fuss-free way, leaving you with a compilation of precious moments that you didn't even know were captured, get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you!

Exceeded all expectations
Lorna Milburn worked quietly in the background, she has a skill, able to capture, naturally, gorgeous moments. The pictures taken reveal her natural eye, recognising those warmer moments between family and friends. I didn't notice the recording of those moments, Lorna moves elegantly, it doesn't surprise me really at her ability to quietly weave between people.
Lorna designed our album and on opening it I relived that day from the most satisfied perspective. Our immediate family group picture is so joyful, everyone looks as happy as we are. On reflection it's clear that Lorna has an ability to engage with a group of very diverse people, everyone clearly felt very comfortable. Eternally grateful and would highly recommend. Thank you Lorna.

Superb and Speedy Pictures
Lorna was an absolute dream from the initial meeting where she took time to understand what we wanted but also how we were as a couple, right through to the interactions with us and guests on the day. We barely knew there was a photographer present, and the photos of all our friends and family enjoying themselves prove she moved around the room without interrupting the flow of the day, BUT there were so many guests that commented on how lovely Lorna was.
Our couple photos are gorgeous and show Lorna’s eye for detail (particularly east London detail) and they were so efficient we were the first to arrive at the reception. We specifically said we don’t want to miss out on the day and Lorna delivered. The editing is perfect, so natural and beautiful.
The first looks that Lorna sent the day after the wedding filled our hearts with joy and she delivered the entire wedding album within 2 weeks - crazy speed but not compromising quality. We can’t recommend Lorna enough 🥰
