About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2022

Last update: November 2024

Hello, thanks so much for visiting my profile! My name is Brad, and I’m a wedding and family photographer based in Bedfordshire. I predominantly work across the home counties (Herts, Beds & Bucks) but am more than willing to travel all over the UK and beyond when required.

I shot my first wedding in 2017 and immediately knew this is what I wanted to do long-term instead of working a standard 9-5 office job. My photography style and approach is very relaxed and natural, using a documentary style with some creative storytelling to enable me to capture all of the happiness, joy and emotion of your special day. My main objective is to help document your day as it happens and to intervene as little as possible.

I believe that my natural approach helps to capture the truest moments of your special day, and previous clients say that these are the photos they treasure the most: the look in your father’s eyes when he sees you in your dress for the first time, a proud Mum wiping away a tear, the laughter between friends and the love in your eyes as you share your first dance. These moments can’t be staged or repeated, and these are the genuine interactions that I love to capture, for you to cherish.

Please do get in touch if you like my style of photography – I’d love to be part of your wedding!

Wedding July 2024

We had Brad for both our pre-wedding shoot and wedding in July 2024, and we can't recommend him highly enough!! From the very first meeting, he was professional and approachable, making us feel at ease especially with us planning the whole wedding from another country. He really went out of his way to help us find a bi-lingual celebrant which we thought we'd never find, which shows how much he really cares!

On the day he was super helpful, seeming to somehow be in multiple places at the same time yet staying calm and keeping us relaxed! He was also completely un-intrusive, especially during the ceremony where we both don't even remember seeing him!

We absolutely adore our photos and we were so excited to show everyone once we received them. Brad is clearly a talented photographer and his passion really shows, and anyone who has him for their wedding will certainly not regret it!!

Just the best!

Brad captured our day perfectly! He is also just the friendliest person who loves what he does. We’re both not used to having photos taken of us but Brad made us feel at ease so quickly!

From our first email and meeting for our engagement shoot, your passion for what you do was so clear and made us happy that we went with you! I definitely welled up when we first went through the pictures, I still love to look through them all now!

Your photos are just incredible and really captures the day- we're so glad we went with the package we decided on. Stuart was so great and loved watching you both bounce off each other throughout the day. We also had so many guests comment on how great you all were, so friendly and not too over the top!!

Brilliant wedding photographer!

A massive thank you to Brad for capturing our wedding day so beautifully. Brad was really friendly and easy-going, answering all of our questions prior to the day and giving us guidance about his usual process, whilst also working flexibly to what we asked of him. We gave him the extra challenge of the groom having an outfit change for some of the photos which he helped us to plan for, and we're so glad we did it! Brad's camera also has a silent shutter, which is great for people who are a little camera shy :) The previews that we've had back are beautiful and so special to us, and Brad had lots of creative suggestions for shots to try. Our guests have all commented on how wonderful the pictures are, and we can't wait to see the full album and re-live the best moments of the day. We would 100% recommend Brad!

Brad was fantastic. Everything we wanted in a photographer and more.

Brad was the photographer at our wedding in June 2023.

He was professional, friendly and approachable from the outset and was transparent throughout the entire process and in the run up to our big day.

On the wedding day Brad was fantastic, helpful and captured truly magical and beautiful shots. Everything felt natural and candid (even the posed family shots). He was everything we wanted in a photographer and more.

Post wedding Brad again shone. We had some sneak peaks through within 48hrs and our wedding photographs were ready for us to view in what felt like no time at all (much quicker than we expected given he was entering his busiest period of the year!).

We want to say a massive thank you to Brad, and would highly recommend booking him if you are after shots that not only look great, but that are captured with minimal fanfare and stress, and that go beyond the image and truly capture the magic and the emotion of the day.

Thank you Brad!

Brad is amazing!

I would definitely recommend Brad. He is so friendly, so helpful, he felt like one of the guests. He gets your previews back within a few days and it all looks incredible.

Fabulous photographer!

Brad did a fantastic job of photographing our wedding day at Fanhams Hall in Hertfordshire. His style is so authentic, he made great, professional suggestions for shots, and he really put us at ease the whole time. He listened to our ideas and gave us a really personalised service. He kept in touch before our big day and we felt very prepared. It was a pleasure to share our day with him! Our photos are absolutely wonderful and we found Brad’s packages very reasonable indeed. Thank you, Brad!!!! ❤️

Absolutely fantastic photos and service

Brad was our photographer at our wedding! What can I say, his photographs are pieces of art; Brad has a fantastic eye for beautiful photo opportunties. All of our guests are incredibly impressed and pleased by the photos. In addition to these, the level of service provided by Brad has been absolutely fantastic, he turned around teaser shots within 24 hours, plus produced all of our photos in less than 3 weeks. Would definitely recommend.

Relaxed, fun and amazing photos

Brad was truly fantastic throughout and we couldn't have asked for more.

We asked Brad to photograph our wedding at Dodford Manor in May 2024. It was a fairly big wedding with 120 guests.

There were lots of moments that we really wanted to capture on the day which made it quite logistically challenging but Brad (and the 2nd photographer Stu) expertly captured everything perfectly!

Everything from a red bus travelling our guests from Staverton, to my journey in an old vintage car from Dodford Grange to the church, arriving the the drinks reception, garden games, speeches, first dance, and family portraits and, of course, our own bride and groom portraits.

We couldn't believe the amazing (1200+) gallery that we received afterwards! The day was a bit of a blur but we'll have Brad's photos to remind us of every moment forever which we couldn't be more grateful for.

I should also mention we did a pre wedding shoot (with our dog and baby in tow) which really helped us to feel relaxed with Brad on the day as we knew what to expect and he was a familiar face. We aren't naturals with posing and so on so it really helped us to get a feel for it.

Final thing to say is that Brad is great and calming person to have around and guide you through the day. He's so responsive to every question you may have and I'd definitely recommend him for your big day.

Thanks Brad!!

Cannot recommend highly enough!

Not only did our wedding photos turn out better than we could ever dreamed of, Brad was just a wonderful person to have around on our wedding day. He made us feel comfortable during the couple shots, did a fantastic job of getting everyone into place for the official photos and any other planned shots like sparklers and confetti but he was also barely noticeable throughout the day whilst he was capturing the rest of the day as it happened.

We had so many comments throughout and after the wedding about how great Brad was, especially with the children we had attend the day who were very interested in his cameras!

We have no idea how we are going to choose photos for an album as there are just so many amazing ones to choose from…

We also did a couples shoot before the wedding which gave us a chance to get to know Brad before the day and this assured us that we had chosen the right photographer for us!

Highly Recommend!!

After searching far and wide across London, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire for a photographer for our wedding, we came across Brad Gommon Photography. It was his impressive portfolio that did it for us! He had the best night photos and he exceeded expectations. Brad really put us at ease throughout the wedding planner process and made very good suggestions, which we are extremely grateful for. Brad was super organised, arrived earlier than expected and was very professional. He wasn't intrusive at all, and picked the perfect moments to take photos. He went above and beyond to ensure he took the best photos for us and made us feel comfortable throughout. We also got on a personal level, he is kind and super creative. His photos were incredible!! We are so happy and privileged to have had Brad as our wedding photographer. Thank you so much Brad! Those looking for a photographer, stop your search and look no further. Brad is the one for you!

Everything was great

Highly recommend. We are so happy with the photos and love the shots he got & how he edited them. We FaceTimed twice before which was great customer service. He sent us photos the next morning so we had some to post on socials. 5* for everything.

I would recommend Brad to anyone in a heartbeat as a photographer

We had first noticed Brad at our best friend's wedding, as he was their photographer. He was so friendly to the whole wedding party (not just the B&G) that I knew when we got married he'd be a great person to spend the day with snapping pics. When the pictures came back for our friend's wedding the images were fantastic - vibrant and caught special moments.

Brad was great on our day, he even helped us find our videographer for the morning and ceremony also whom he recommended, and they worked together really well to make us all feel comfortable and capture the important fleeting moments.

What I ended up really impressed with were Brad's ideas on the day, for example he asked the staff to move our cake from the corner of the room to the centre of the dancefloor for cake cutting, and they are some of my favourite photos as it turned cutting the cake into a really special moment where we were centre stage.

Brad kindly sent through about 8 pics as early as possible after our wedding, which were lovely to have and share with family before the final album was ready. You find yourself itching to see the pics and relive some of the day so this was massively appreciated.

I would recommend Brad to anyone in a heartbeat as a photographer; you couldn't meet a nicer or more professional chap and the results speak for themselves - stunning picture quality. Thanks again Brad!

Excellent Photographer

We chose Brad as our photographer because we loved the range of images in his portfolio - a mix of the spontaneous moments, the formal family and friends and the ‘wow’ artistic shots. And this was certainly reflected in the images from our big day - we loved the floating veil (though we had to be persistent, who knew there was a right way to throw the veil up!), the sunset, the moments of us as a couple and those candid camera moments showing everyone having a great time.

Brad was wonderful to work with - really easy on the big day and we had every confidence with him. Prior to and after the event, Brad kept us in the loop and we really valued his input and suggestions.

Professional, fun, fabulous!

BOOK BRAD NOW!! :)

Brad and James photographed our wedding at Dodford Manor in December 2022. My husband and I aren’t used to posing for photographs and we are definitely not ‘picture perfect’ people but Brad definitely made us look as though we were! We had so much fun with Brad and James. They made us feel so comfortable and we had such a laugh with them. Brad and James are really creative and will give pretty much anything a go! They know what looks good and will suggest places, how to stand etc. Brad got our photos back to us in 3 weeks and sent us some teaser photos almost immediately after the wedding. We couldn’t recommend Brad enough, our photos are more than we could have ever hoped for and he’s such a lovely person! Thank you so much Brad!

Brad is fantastic

Brad was absolutely fantastic before, during and after our wedding! He made us feel comfortable throughout the day and our guests all thought Brad was lovely! He captured all the highlights of our day with a mixture of posed and candid photos and was so subtle we hardly knew he was there!
We would thoroughly recommend an engagement shoot as this made us more used to posing for photos therefore were more relaxed on the day!
