Every frame holds a story.

Your wedding day — a time when love takes center stage and fleeting moments are captured forever. It’s a day I’m truly honoured to be part of, stepping behind the lens as your storyteller to document the real, the raw, and the beautifully unscripted moments that make your celebration uniquely yours.

Together, let’s embark on this incredible journey to capture the heart of your love story — creating images that are honest, emotional, and filled with timeless joy.

Hi, I’m Gary,

Hey, I’m the guy behind the camera, ready to capture the best day of your life. I’m all about keeping things real—no cheesy poses or fake smiles here. Instead, I focus on those honest moments, genuine laughs, and those little meaningful glances that make your wedding day totally you. My goal is to tell your unique love story through natural, heartfelt photos that you’ll treasure forever. Let’s keep it fun, relaxed, and full of all the beautiful emotions that make your day unforgettable.

Great Service

Made absolutely everybody feel so comfortable and spoke to all family members. Came to our wedding rehearsal to get an idea of where everyone would be. Amazing experience and would highly recommend

Beautiful photos with fast turnaround

We had the absolute pleasure of having Gary as our wedding photographer, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. From the very beginning, Gary was passionate, professional, and genuinely excited about capturing our big day.

His energy and love for his craft really came through—not just in the stunning photos, but in how he interacted with us and our guests. He caught so many beautiful, candid moments that we’ll cherish forever.

The final photos were beyond what we imagined: emotional, vibrant, and full of life. Gary has an incredible eye and a talent for telling a story through his lens. One thing that really stood out was the incredibly quick turnaround — we received our edited photos so much sooner than expected, and they were absolutely stunning. Each image told a story, and we’ve been reliving our day through them ever since.

If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about their work and the couples they photograph, Gary is the one. Highly recommended!

Hayley & Stephen- Hitched review

A true Gentleman

Thank you so much for the fabulous photos of our wedding. We were so impressed with your service, you made us feel at ease and just fitted in and organised everyone so well. I love that a lot of the photos are natural which is what we wanted but also the staged ones too.
Excellent value for money and loved receiving the preview & highlights before the full gallery
