Amazing wedding photographer!

From our very first contact, Gary’s communication was fantastic. He was friendly, professional and made the whole experience so easy.

The weather meant our wedding day didn’t quite go as originally planned, but Gary took it all in his stride. His experience and professionalism meant everything ran smoothly, allowing us to relax and enjoy our special day.

The photographs are absolutely stunning! Gary captured so many beautiful moments, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. I’m still struggling to choose my favourites for our wedding album because there are just so many amazing pictures!

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer and would highly recommend Gary.

Thank you so much for capturing such wonderful memories of our special day!

Gary is a legend. Turned up our photographer and left as a friend 😂 All our guests are raving about his photos (That we got back in just 3 weeks!) We had 180 guests and Gary has managed to snap a shot of every single one of them. No mean feat! But he's also taken extra care to learn who's who and snap extra photos of all those in the bridal party. He ammended his package to stay right through to the end of the night and the photos that came past 11pm ended up being our favourites so we were so greatful for that! Gary also had a crack at doing up the buttons on my dress when my bridesmaids were struggling in the hours before the ceremony. Man of many talents! Haha. Honestly, photos 10/10, professionalism 10/10 and pure vibes 10/10. I couldn't reccomend Gary enough!

We honestly couldn’t have been happier with Gary as our wedding photographer.

From the moment we booked him right through to receiving our final photos, he was fantastic. On the day itself, he made us and our guests feel completely at ease, which really shows in the photos. He captured such a great variety of shots, from the more traditional wedding photographs to some really creative and unexpected ones that surprised us when we received them.

We particularly loved how he made the most of our theatre venue and its lighting and special effects. The different colour palettes and use of the surroundings gave the photos so much variety and really captured the atmosphere of the day.

Gary also stayed considerably longer than we expected, which meant we got even more memories captured without ever feeling rushed or pressured. He was professional, friendly and clearly passionate about getting the best possible shots.

We absolutely love our wedding photos and couldn’t recommend Gary highly enough. He did a brilliant job from start to finish and gave us photographs that we’ll treasure for years to come. Thank you, Gary!

We hired Gary as our Wedding photographer and wow…he really is the best in the industry! From our very first zoom meeting he made us feel so at ease, so friendly and easy to chat to. Throughout the process he was so thorough, then onto the big day…we cannot thank you enough! Gary arrived early to set up, full smiles, and had everyone laughing their pre-wedding jitters away. He just knows how to capture the perfect candid shots, not super staged or fixed, no awkward poses, he really knows his stuff. Not only was he our photographer but he also recorded some big parts of our day for us at the same time! We didn't feel like our whole day was taken over by photos, it was so seamless you barely knew he was there at times! No guest was neglected and everybody got some amazing keepsakes of themselves. Our guests have not stopped talking about how amazing he was, truly felt like everyone’s friend there. We will be recommending Gary to anybody that is looking for a Wedding photographer. Again a MASSIVE thank you for capturing the best day of our lives so magically and for that we will forever be grateful.

Gary was fantastic! We were recommended Gary by one of our friends and we are so glad we chose him to be our photographer. He made the entire process easy from the start, replying quickly to emails, setting up helpful zoom calls and taking note of exactly what we wanted for the day. From the first zoom call Gary made us feel at ease. On the day Gary turned up promptly ready to work and ended up staying later than he was supposed to to ensure we got those last few evening photos we wanted. My husband and I are not people to like having our photo taken and did not want a large proportion of the day to be taken up taking posed photos. Gary was very aware of this and was sure to get all the photos we wanted without taking us away from the party for extended periods of time. We had so many compliments from our guests about Gary on the day, saying it never felt like he was imposing to get the photo and he was always happy to get involved with the games and jokes throughout the night. After the wedding Gary managed to get a sneak peak of the photos to us in a matter of days and only took a few weeks to get the full edited album over to us. The photos are stunning! We are so happy with how they come out and will cherish them for a very long time. My husband and I want to say a massive thank you to Gary for everything he did for us throughout the entire process. We are so happy we chose him to be a part of our special day and could not recommend him enough!

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer than Gary Derbridge.

From the moment he arrived, he made everyone feel completely at ease, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment of our intimate wedding in July 2026.  Gary has an incredible talent for capturing natural, beautiful photographs that perfectly reflect the emotions and atmosphere of the day.

What impressed us most was how seamlessly he blended in with our guests – it felt as though he was part of the celebration rather than simply photographing it. The result is a stunning collection of images that we will treasure forever, each one bringing back wonderful memories of our special day.

Professional, friendly, and exceptionally talented, Gary exceeded all of our expectations. We would wholeheartedly recommend him to any couple looking for a photographer who not only captures amazing photographs but also enhances the experience of the day itself.

Thank you Gary, for capturing our special day most beautifully.

Regards,

Toni & James

Me and my partner booked Gary for our wedding in June this year and he was absolutely brilliant from start to finish!

When I originally enquired about his service, he was quick to respond and very friendly and professional. He offered us Zoom calls to discuss details and has a great sense of humour so it put me and my partner at ease straight away - it was clear on the day that he had really listened to what we wanted the photos to be like and who we wanted to ensure was in them.

All of the guests, family, bridesmaids and groomsmen loved him, and the photos he took were absolutely fantastic. He made such an effort to get the best shots at all different angles, and ensured we didn’t miss the sunset so we’d have some extra beautiful photos. During the morning he was running back and forth between me and my partner getting ready, so it was a joy for us to look back and see how our separate mornings went, and the shots of the first look with my Dad and bridesmaids are something I will treasure forever.

His online gallery is wonderful and easy to use, and he got the preview photos over to us just a few days after the wedding, and the entire gallery finished only 3 weeks after the big day.

We’re so glad we picked Gary to share our special day with us, and would 100% recommend him to everyone!

We couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer than Gary. From the moment we met him, he made us feel completely at ease, and his friendly, professional approach meant we could simply enjoy our day whilst he captured every special moment.
The photos are beautiful and perfectly reflect the love, and laughter of our wedding day. Gary has an incredible eye for detail and managed to capture so many natural, beautiful moments that we'll treasure forever.

If you're looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely lovely photographer, we can't recommend Gary enough. Thank you for giving us memories that will last a lifetime.

We can’t recommend Gary highly enough! From start to finish he went above and beyond, and made both of us - plus every single guest - feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, his approach is great.

So many of our friends and family said afterwards how great Gary was, which really says it all. He’s got such a warm, easygoing way about him, and it showed in how relaxed everyone was around him all day.

Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for anything more. It was absolutely perfect, and we’re so grateful for everything Gary did and for the moments he captured for us - they’re memories we’ll treasure forever. Thank you so much, Gary, we’re forever grateful!
