Friendly candid wedding photographer
Camera Shy? Me Too!
I’m Gav, the friendly wedding photographer and I prefer to capture your celebrations in very natural way.
I’m the guy that understands if you are the type of couple that’s a little camera shy and doesn’t like the limelight.
Big friendly giant
Don’t let my bald head and size scare you. I’m a softy with a gentle aura trapped in a bounce’s body haha.
My couples book my services because I have this special ability to make others feel at ease and comfortable.
My style is perfect for those that want the wedding day everyone will remember without you being the centre of attention.
I’m the down-to-earth, kind-hearted guy that’s going to give you incredible photographs without asking you to say cheese.
There’s no need to feel anxious or nervous. I only ask you to do two things. First, please just be yourself and secondly enjoy every second of your wedding day.
Services Offered
I can't wait to hear from you to discuss your wedding day.
Happy to travel anywhere in the UK and if my wife and kids let me go I will travel abroad.
I love to capture your authentic moments as they unfold naturally, ensuring you don't get distracted by the camera.

The friendliest photographer you could ask for
Three words: WHAT A GUY!
I first spotted Gav on instagram before we were even engaged. I told my partner “That’s the guy i want if we ever get married”. Fast forward a year and we booked him for our special day. And i honestly couldn’t be happier that we made that decision.
The booking process was clear and easy. The zoom meeting was such a laugh and we couldn’t have asked for more leading up to our day. His communication was regular and reassuring which is exactly what we needed (very anxious bride!).
On the day, it was more like having an extra friend at our wedding than a photographer. Whilst still being professional, we had so many laughs and he just got our humour from the get go which is more than we could have asked for. The photos came back quickly after the wedding and we were amazed by the pure quality of them all. He captured the most magical moments in the exact way we wanted him to.
A truly wonderful bloke with a cracking sense of humour that will instantly put you at ease. Even if you are utter photophobes like us, he will make you laugh even in the most awkward situations. Gav, you were amazing and we will genuinely miss chatting with you.

An amazing photographer
Gav is an amazing photographer who captured the emotions of the day perfectly in photographs. He was full of energy from the moment he arrived and made everyone feel comfortable and at ease. Our photographs are amazing! Even so that a few people have said to me they are some of the best wedding photos they have seen! Thank you for being part of our special day and capturing it so perfectly. Everytime I look at the photos I want to be back in the moment.

Amazing ♥️
There are no words that can even describe how amazing of a person Gavin is. He is the most amazing person, not only in what he does but overall. You would be so lucky to have him capture your special day. He makes you feel so at ease not only at your first meeting but throughout your day. He is that professional you wouldn't even tell he is a photographer because he blends in so much with your guests and gets the most amazing pictures. I can't recommend Gavin enough he has supported and stuck by us both through covid when we had to postpone x4 times. The most down to earth, funny, caring person and we are so lucky we got to share our special day with you FINALLY!! can't thank you enough Gavin. You deserve everything and so much more and me and David really do believe we have made a friend for life going through this experience with you. Thank you again ♥️💙

We couldn’t not recommend Gav enough! He was the best photographer we could have asked for and he made our day so perfect, the way he takes his pictures is just amazing and he captures every moment, things you don’t even see yourself! He was so helpful with everything in the day even in the venue and the photos have turned out even better than we could have imagined! Gav will definitely make you’re wedding day that extra bit special!

Nothing but the best from start to finish!
Gav did my mums wedding 10+ years ago, he was without a doubt always going to be my photographer! I couldn’t have asked for more perfect, natural, in the moment photos, they are beautiful to say the least. Felt so welcomed and nothing was ever too much for him even when I had to re arrange my wedding 3 times!
I’d do it all over again and have Gav without a second thought.
Absolutely amazing, I can’t thank him enough xx
