We are so happy we chose Gary as our photographer, we found him on instagram and decided to use him that way and it was one of the best decisions of our wedding. We are really happy with how the videos turned out and Gary was an absolute pleasure on the day - he managed to be professional and knowledgable, while still being friendly enough that it felt like having a friend providing a service! Thank you Gary.

Gary was our wedding photographer in June. From preparing for our day to delivering our fantastic wedding photographs he was amazing and gave us 1st class service the whole time. Gary took the time to meet with us prior to the wedding to understand all the different shots we wanted capturing and was so professional and personable organising our guests. Everyone commented on how great he was. The photos are outstanding and captures every part of our day like a story. If you’re looking for a professional wedding photographer, we 100% recommend Gary!

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Gary across 3 of our wedding events (Pakistani/Indian/Islamic wedding). Not only did he beautifully capture these events for years to come, but he also was able to create an incredible high-quality photo album, which is by far the nicest item we own. His professionalism and expertise behind the lens are second to none, and he can somehow turn even the most boring of corridors into a professional photo studio. We highly recommend using Gary for your photographic needs.

100% would recommend Gary. He’s super organised, friendly and extremely good at what he does. Leading up to the wedding we had meetings and he listened to everything we had asked for. I even printed out an 18 page document filled with pictures I wanted which consisted of both photos from Gary’s gallery online and photos from our venue. Gary printed this and captured every single one I had asked for despite the fact it rained all day!! There’s nothing Gary wouldn’t do, we interrupted his lunch to get a shot with the rainbow, he got soaked to get some amazing shots in the rain, he squeezed himself behind a wardrobe just to get my preferred side and he even helped unload the car! It was a joy to have him there on the day, he made us feel so comfortable, the shots are incredible and he turned them around so quickly. My sister has booked him for her wedding next year and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone else. Thanks again Gary!!

Would highly recommend. Gary was so attentive from the very start. Met up with us prior to the wedding to get to know us a little and find out exactly what we wanted on the day. On the day of the wedding, he made suggestions that we hadn’t even thought of to capture some beautiful photos. He was also very discreet and I hadn’t always noticed him about until after the wedding when I saw how many photos he had taken. A lot of our guests commented on how nice he was, nothing was too much trouble. After the wedding, when choosing the photos, again Gary was really helpful and patient while we chose the shots we wanted and the album design. Not an easy task as all of the albums are beautifully made and lots of choice. Could not recommend Gary enough, he is great!

Gary was our wedding photographer back in June and I can honestly say, he was fantastic. He went above and beyond to make sure that we had amazing photos of our day. On the run up to the wedding, Gary made contact several times to check in with how our preparations were going. Most importantly, the photos are brilliant and so many to look at. I would highly recommend Gary’s services!

We could not speak more highly of Gary and wish there were more stars available to rate him! Gary makes you feel so comfortable instantly, given some of the potential awkwardness of some of the shots for people who aren’t used to being photographed professionally, he put us at complete ease. Gary is one of the nicest people we have ever met, which was commented on by all our wedding guests, nothing was ever too much over the course of the day. Managing to be both so friendly and professional is a real skill but one Gary appears to manage with such ease. Our wedding photos are absolutely incredible and we couldn’t be happier. From the first contact, up until now (choosing all the photos for our wedding album) we have felt so supported and we are so grateful for everything Gary has done.

Gary was so fantastic at every stage from initially booking, the engagement shoot, the wedding day and seeing the photos after. Gary was so brilliant and so many of our guests commented on how lovely he was. We are also so thrilled with the quality of the photos; they are such wonderful images. Any worries we had about feeling awkward in front of the camera went straight away due to Gary's friendly personality. We also love our wedding album that he worked with us to create; it is perfect and something we can cherish forever. We are so pleased that we booked Gary for our wedding and highly recommend him.

Kind words

“To us, the wedding photos were one of the most important services for our day and we wanted to make sure that we picked the right wedding photographer. From our first contact with Gary, he left us with no doubt that he was the one for us. He is a true professional, yet extremely friendly and relaxed to be around. We loved his portfolio, especially his sunset images, and the fact he would be with us all day during the wedding (something very important to us). Everyone on the day itself commented on how nice our wedding photographer was and the photos that we received back were incredible! We were absolutely blown away. We knew from his portfolio that we were going to get something great, but the final wedding album was better than we could have ever imagined. Thank you, Gary. We will treasure our wedding photos forever.”
