Fabulous Photographer 📸

Gareth has been amazing start to finish as our wedding photographer. He is always professional, easily contactable and approachable & goes above and beyond to capture such beautiful photographs.

He is extremely flexible, open to suggestions, friendly and gels with guests, sometimes we even forgot he was there & he felt like one of our guests!

We absolutely hate having our photos taken but gareth made us feel at ease & the photos he has captured are just beautiful.

The sneak peek pictures are also a great touch, it meant we had more than 10 photos to look at whilst we waited for the full album to be sent! Definitely helped with the wedding blues!

Would recommend Gareth a million times over.

Brilliant photographer

Gareth was amazing from the very start. While we were planning our wedding, he kept in regular contact, helping us with ideas and making sure everything was in place to capture our day perfectly. His communication throughout the whole process was excellent and really helped put us at ease.
On the day itself, Gareth arrived early to capture us getting ready, as well as beautiful photos of the tipi before our guests arrived. He stayed until the early evening, making sure all of our special moments were captured without ever feeling intrusive.

Gareth was so friendly and approachable, and he blended in effortlessly with our guests, helping to keep the atmosphere relaxed and completely stress-free. The photos are absolutely beautiful, and we're so grateful to have such incredible memories of our wedding day. We couldn't recommend Gareth highly enough to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely lovely wedding photographer.

Excellent, professional and gorgeous photos

Gareth offered an excellent service from
The first moment of enquiry to the last photograph he took on our wedding day. He was in regular contact which offered reassurance and a chance to build rapport. We also had a complimentary engagement shoot which offered us further opportunity to plan and discuss what kind of photos we would like on the day and of course we walked away with some beautiful snaps 😍. Great value for money, professional and relatable! Thanks Gareth we love our photos of our very special day!!

Creative and puts in maximum effort for perfect photos!

Gaz was the photographer at my brother’s wedding, and he integrated so well and produced such amazing photos we hired him for ours too. He travelled 3hrs to get to our wedding, and stayed the night locally. He has lots of ideas, he went the extra mile to get lots of awesome shots (different each time, the guy knows what he’s doing) and a cool video, and he is really lovely to have around at the event. We highly recommend him! 🌟

Mr & Mrs Seddon

We couldn’t recommend Gareth more highly! He has been an incredible support throughout the whole wedding planning process and made us feel completely at ease.

On the day, he was calm, professional, and such a positive presence. The photos are absolutely stunning—we’re so happy with how every moment was captured. Truly a huge part of what made our day so special!

Elopement Wedding

Would highly recommend anyone to Gareth. We booked him after finding his content online and loving the pictures he takes. He has been helpful, friendly and professional from enquiry to the end. Gareth arrived at the venue before us so was very timely and was very friendly when meeting. He already had all his equipment set up and was already taking photos way before the ceremony started to ensure we were getting the entire day captured. Due to his confident and friendly nature he really eased our own nerves and made us feel much more comfortable in front of the camera (you would not even notice he was there most of the time). The pictures have turned out beautifully and we are very pleased that we booked Gareth. Thank you again for everything 😊

All Round Amazing!

Gareth has been an absolute wonder in capturing our day and making us feel at ease through our whole wedding journey. He was very welcoming and accommodating from our first contact, and once we'd spent some time with him on a complimentary engagement shoot, we knew we'd chosen the right person!

It was a joy to have him as part of our day, we were in such capable hands and he ensured our day ran smoothly. He went the extra mile by capturing all picture requests for our guests, getting some shots with his drone and glasses, and stayed right until the end to capture every moment.

He has given us such a gift in keeping the beautiful memories of our favourite day so fresh in our minds forever. We would love to find an excuse to ask for his skills and company again!

Thank you Gareth and all the best! 🙏

Two Very Happy Brides!

My wife and I had Gareth photograph our wedding in September and we simply couldn’t be happier with having made that decision.

From the off, communication with Gareth was fantastic and he was extremely helpful in helping us plan out exactly what we wanted. Come the day itself, he was punctual, effortlessly personable, and made us feel extremely comfortable. He took his time and captured every aspect of our day, including shots of our guests and venue, and he made sure to stay until we had every photo we wanted - he really made everything about us.

The next morning, Gareth sent over 25 “sneak peak” pictures for us, and we were incredibly impressed at the speed he was able to get them to us. He also kept up communication over the next few weeks and let us know once our photos were ready and posted, and we were thrilled with his work when it arrived.

Overall, we couldn’t recommend Gareth any more highly as he’s been a delight from start to finish, and we felt the service provided was extremely good value for money. We love his wonderful mix of candid and posed photos, and look forward to keeping up with his work going forward! x

Gareth Roy - 10/10 Photographer

We are absolutely in love with our wedding pictures! We are so glad we had Gareth recommended to us by Wendy at The Love Shack.

All the superlatives apply to Gareth - he makes you feel at ease, is very personable, patient, empathetic and most of all talented! He has lots of experience and is very down to earth. Check out his socials/website - the pictures speak for themselves really.

Gareth offers very competitive and transparent prices and packages with great communicate prior and following our wedding day.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience & would definitely recommend!

Thankyou again & keep up the good work Gareth!

Mr and Mrs Scarfe-Roye Wedding

Hiring Gareth was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. My partner and I are not usually comfortable in front of a camera, but Gareth has a natural gift for putting people at ease. He went at our pace, with absolutely no pressure to do anything we didn't feel comfortable doing. He really was amazing from start to finish! And made our day magical! From initial contact to the wedding day he was very helpful and couldn't do enough to help put our minds at ease.
The photos themselves are simply breathtaking. Looking through our photos brings us right back to the feeling of that day. Gareth is not just a talented photographer but also a wonderful person. We will cherish these memories for a lifetime and would 100% recommend Gareth without hesitation.

Perfect photographer

Gareth was amazing from start to finish, in the weeks and months leading up to our wedding he would often check in and see how things were going. On the day he was attentive, open to suggestions, flexible, and an overall a really lovely and friendly person. As a couple we're not into staged photos but Gareth made it feel like he wasn't there and blended into the background. He got on well with everyone in the morning while we were getting ready and really made an effort to make everyone feel comfortable. Would highly recommend Gareth!! Can't wait to see the rest of our photos!

The best!

Honestly I couldn’t recommend Gareth enough!! From the moment I booked our wedding with him he was so attentive and genuinely interested in our day!! We basically took him on a full on adventure around the lakes with our 4 month old baby in a Range Rover to get the best pics possible and he was more than happy to be apart of it! I was mind blown when I saw the photographs and so glad we picked Gareth to shoot our big day! Thanks for everything Gareth, we will cherish these photos forever!

What a Great Guy!

Gareth was recommended to us for our wedding by a friend and as we didn’t know where to start, we decided to hire him. We didn’t regret it. Gareth was communicative in the build up to the day, ensuring that he had a good idea about what we wanted. On the day itself he was punctual, friendly, supportive and professional. He captured so many moments that we weren’t even aware of and chatted to all of the guests with good humour. He really was a part of our big day and I couldn’t have asked for better.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
