On the day itself Gary was a true professional; getting amazing shots whilst maintaining a low-profile during the proceedings. He made everyone feel completely at ease, which was portrayed in the fantastic pictures he took, and helped maintain a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.

We are extremely pleased with our photos and would strongly recommend Gary Derbridge to our friends and family.”

Amanda Kemp, Shoebury, Essex.

I really hate having my photo taken but when I got there, GD Photographer really put me at ease and made me feel very relaxed and comfortable. The pictures themselves were very high quality and we struggled to choose which ones to have, as there were so many different poses and they all looked so good. GD Photographer was so good that I am now using them this summer for my wedding.

Carrie & Brad, Rochford, Essex.

Gary, thank you for providing an exceptional professional service honouring the request for family portraits at such short notice. You produced superb high-quality photos which were a huge hit for my mum’s special birthday (to which she ended up buying more at such reasonable prices!). Thank you for your patience, helpfulness and customer care and I would have no hesitation in recommending you to my friends and colleagues. Best wishes.

Sue, South Woodham Ferrers, Essex.

Gary was absolutely brilliant; I contacted him at the last minute needing some photos done and not only was he extremely efficient in providing the photos (which were very good quality), the price was a lot more reasonable than every other photographer that I contacted. I would definitely recommend him!

“Gary was a total star! I had a family photo shoot done where there was 7 of us which I’m sure was a challenge but he managed to ensure that no one felt left out.

I will definately like to do it again and will be recommending him to all my family and friends.”

“Our family portrait was part of our ruby wedding celebration. We were impressed from Gary by our first telephone conversation. During the photo shoot he put us all at ease and was particularly attentive to our 2 1/2 year olf grand-daughter who needed a little encouragement to sit still and smile on request. We were impressed with the final portfolio and are very happy to recommend him.”

Rebecca Whitney, Rochford, Essex

“Gary photographed my 18th birthday party late last year and I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer or better pictures to keep as memories of the night! Unfortunately the date of my party was during the really snowy week last winter and the terrible weather meant that public transport was stopped and many friends were unable to make it to the venue. However, Gary got there with no complaints which was such a relief! He arrived early and was discrete throughout the night yet still managing to have taken hundreds of brilliant pictures, which my friends then all used as their profile pictures on facebook and printed off, as they also liked them so much! Thankyou to Gary for such a professional and excellent service! The pictures were brill and for the unbeatable price I paid for the event I would recommend him to anyone looking for a professional, commendable photographer for an event or occassion. I will certainly be using Gary again for any future events or parties I have!!! ”

Lucia Farrance, Southchurch, Essex

Jordan Fry, Stambridge, Essex

“Defiantely worth more than 5 stars!!. Gary was FAB from the word go. Fantastic photos, tear-jerking album and many memories of a wonderful wedding day. I cant reccommend Gary highly enough. Everyone commented on how laid back and calm Gary and his Dad made everyone on the day (including a stressed and nervous Bride!) and how professional and talented you are. Thanks so so much to you and your services over the past 18 months – we will definately use you again in the future ) ”

Katie and Dan Mould, Romford, Essex.

“Gary photographed our Evening Wedding Reception, he was great. He put everyone at ease, was really helpful and took some really great photos, both posed and more relaxed shots which was excellent, as he really captured the evening and the fun we all had. We were so pleased with the results and the value for money, the photos were up on the website very quickly so we could show everyone. We would definitely recommend him to everyone and I will be booking him again for my 40th Birthday next year if he’s free!! Thanks Gary x ”
