Part of the Day!
Gareth was so reassuring during the run up to our wedding (we had an issue with a previous photographer)! We had an engagement shoot in our package and on first meeting him we knew we’d get along for our big day!
On the day, he turned up early morning whilst hair and makeup was in full swing, and he fitted right in. He made everyone feel very comfortable and all my bridesmaids and mum said he was lovely!
During the day he was honestly like a guest with a camera. He was chatting with everyone and mingling around, while taking pics of everyone which was just how we wanted it to be (not making everyone move away and pose when they’re having a good time). He went above and beyond for our day, and we’re sure he was sick of us by the end of the night constantly asking “just one more!!”.
He was such a pleasure to work with for our day and helped to make it so special. Also, we got 50 photos THE DAY AFTER!!! And a special little video he’d made on his funky camera glasses!
A brilliant photographer and an equally great gent! Thanks :D

Absolutely amazing
From the moment we booked the communication with Gareth was top notch. He even recommended other places once we got talking about our day . He would check up on us to check how our planning was going . Such a friendly, professional service and I’m so glad we had Gareth to capture our special day . He fit right in with all our friends and family. The pictures are absolutely stunning.

Perfect wedding photographer
After following Gareth on instagram for a number of years, and admiring his photography skills there was nobody else I would have chosen to capture all our special moments on our wedding day.
He made us feel so at ease behind the camera (fully advise to have an engagement/pre wedding shoot beforehand also) and I couldn’t pick a favourite photo if I tried!
I would highly recommend Gareth to anyone who wants amazing photos and a relaxed atmosphere!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
From the moment we requested a quote Gareth was great from the get go, nothing was too much trouble and he was always on hand to answer any questions. On the day itself Gareth was very professional and mingled well with guests while capturing lots of photos, ones we had asked for before hand but also spontaneous ones on the day. Absolutely love our photos and would defiantly recommend! Thanks again Gareth!

Absolutely fantastic!
We were so lucky that Gareth had our date available. It was meant to be! He made us feel at ease from the beginning when he offered to meet with us and do an engagement shoot around the grounds at our venue. Such a lovely touch. His communication and photography style is just brilliant. The images captured are exactly what we had envisioned. He always made sure we were happy and showed us a glimpse on his camera there and then, which I really appreciated.
Such a great guy to get on with, he was such an invaluable part of our day! Would very highly recommend!

Amazing photographer
Our day was perfectly captured by Gaz, we can't thank him enough. He ensured we got all the photos we could ever have hoped for, being kind enough to stay later into the evening to capture all the best moments from our day. Nothing was too much to ask, even on the hottest day of the year (in over 30-degree heat)! We received all of our photos on a USB in a beautiful personalised box, such a lovely touch. Gaz is friendly, reliable and professional. If you're looking for a skilled photographer to capture your special day, we would definitely recommend Gaz. Thanks so much again!! Mollie and Alex

Went above and beyond!
Not quite sure how to put into words how amazing Gareth has been as our wedding photographer. We booked Gareth in 2019 for our should have been 2020 wedding. Despite the multiple postponements Gareth made sure that he worked with us and made no issue when changing dates and also honoured our original quote throughout, which we were so grateful for as we know of many others who have been charged more by other suppliers.
We met with Gareth for the first time for our engagement shoot in the lakes, we had an amazing full day of travelling around the lakes getting some amazing shots - myself and my husband both agree that this is one of our favourite memories leading up to the wedding. Gareth included this in the package price, which is quite unbelievable as he had travelled quite a way and had taken time out of his own weekend to do this for us - one of the many examples of him going above and beyond.
On the wedding day Gareth was amazing, he listened to all of my requests and did not stop with the camera until he got all the perfect shots! He was happy to start conversations with guests and so many people came up to me to comment on how lovely he was, which helped everyone feel at ease being infront of the camera.
I have recently got my photos back - all 1200!! I can't begin to describe how happy I am with them, they are photos that I will cherish forever.
Thank you so much Gareth for being fantastic at what you do and also being so understanding during the difficulties that covid brought us. We couldn't recommend enough!

Captured every special moment of our wedding
We were looking for a wedding photographer who would capture the special unposed moments of our wedding day. There were a few shots that were staged (such as the smoke-bomb shots) that looked great but it was the unposed ones that really captured the spirit and joy of the day. We look at the photographs often and they bring back so much joy. We couldn’t have chosen better than Gareth Roy Photography as our wedding photographer,

Gareth (Gaz) did our wedding on 26.04.2022, so professional while taking photos. Very helpful before the wedding and taking his time while taking photos and talking the wedding guests who were there, all the guests said how brilliant and friendly he was! Definitely recommend and thank you so much for joining and capturing our special day!

Couldn’t be happier! 100% recommend
Gareth captured our wedding day. Ever since booking him he was so enthusiastic and thorough with what we wanted on our day to ensure every detail was met. We really felt like we could message any time with any minor questions and we were put right at ease and never made to feel like we were a nuisance or any query was too small!
On the wedding day he arrived early and we were met with such warmth it really put us at a ease even further!
Throughout the whole day nothing was too much effort and Gareth went above and beyond to get every single shot perfectly and also provided guidance in what we could do during photos to get the best outcome. He made us feel so comfortable all day and was available and welcoming for any guests to do impromptu photos.
All of our guests commented on how fantastic and friendly he was. We are so grateful we found such a gem and couldn’t have been happier. We had videographers who Gareth was very happy to work alongside with which we were so grateful for!
We were also sent through a very generous amount of sneak preview photos the very next day! The quality was outstanding and beyond anything we could have imagined. We would 100% recommend Gareth to everyone and will definitely go straight back to him when we need a future photographer! We cannot rate him highly enough!

Just Perfect
5* professional service from start to finish. Gaz has been absolutely perfect from the moment we booked all the way up until the big day. Such a friendly character and a new found friend. Our pictures turned out even better than we ever imagined which I never thought would be possible - we haven't stopped receiving compliments on how well they look (and we've only received the sneak peeks so far!) Thank you so much for capturing our day so beautifully, you are so good and I'm so happy we found you. I will be 100% recommending you to everyone.

Wedding - Absolutely amazing!
Couldn't of asked for a better Photographer, Gareth was very responsive and always had his eye set on what the bride and groom wanted for photos.
While the photos were being checked and put onto a USB, Gareth kept in contacting letting us know how it was going and when the photos arrived, they came in a lovely box with our name and date we got married, it was lovely! The amount of photos that were took, wasn't a small amount! So you can guarantee anyone special day will be captured at every moment ❤️
Thank you so much Gareth! From myself and all the family
