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.

📸 The Best Photographer We Could Have Asked For 📸

Gareth was everything we could have hoped for and more.
From the very first time I met him shooting a friend’s wedding I knew when it was my turn I’d want him for mine!

He made us feel comfortable and excited about having our story told through photos.
On the day, he was organised and relaxed, bringing a calming energy to all the bridal party.

Gareth does a fabulous job of blending into the celebrations while still managing to capture every important moment — and all the little ones we might have missed.

His friendly, upbeat personality brought out the best in everyone, ensuring our must have images were taken as well as natural off the cuff images were also captured.

The laughter Gareth created with his upbeat personality shines through in the pictures.

Our sneak peek gallery is breathtaking — each photo is full of love, joy, and the magic of the day. We can’t wait to see the remaining images!

If you want timeless photos and a photographer who feels like a friend, I’d definitely recommend Gareth.

Castle Green Wedding

Gareth was very professional from the day we booked up until the day we received our photo's. He was always contactable through the process and even came to visit the venue in his own time due to having not photographed at Castle Green before.
Gareth was booked to photograph up until the first dance, he stayed beyond this time due to further photo opportunities presenting themselves which he didn't have to do.
He also created us a wedding video which was not ordered or pre-booked, this was a fabulous addition and a really made our day.
Finally, he mingled and got on with our guests really well, which made him feel like he was part of the day in a really positive way.

Amazing photographer

We chose Gareth to capture our recent vow renewal, and couldn’t be happier with the photos. Not only are his photos stunning, but he’s also genuinely kind and so easy to work with during a photo shoot. Gareth’s ability to multitask, handling photos, videos, and drone shots, added so many unique perspectives to the day. His photography style, with its romantic and soft, flattering filter, was exactly what we wanted. We highly recommend him and only wish we could do it all over again. Well done Gareth❤️

Fantastic photographer

We had such a great experience with Gareth as our wedding photographer. After some initial calls, we first met Gareth during an engagement shoot 6 months before the wedding and he really captured some fantastic pictures of us. We had the photos taken in autumn and he really captured the scenery and vibrancy of the season, and we used the photos throughout our wedding website and for our invites and other stationery.

From the moment he arrived at the wedding, he brought a fun and relaxed energy that made everyone feel at ease. He captures the day as it happens, and was really flexible around timings and all of the different plans we had. We loved that he got so many photos of our guests as well.

The turnaround time from Gareth was very quick, which was great because we were super excited! We had our first photos within 24 hours and the full package within 4 weeks, and it arrived in a lovely packet with a customised USB. Not only the photos but we also received a video that Gareth took with his Meta glasses, it was so much fun and he even got different people to wear his glasses to get different views of what was happening.

We would highly recommend Gareth to everyone - he's like having another friend for your day and his photos are absolutely amazing.

Wedding Photography

Gareth was our photographer for our wedding in January. He arrived early morning to start taking photos of our day. He made the bridal party feel relaxed and I asked for natural photos which he got and they were perfect.
Gareth spent the whole day and evening with us to make sure he captured everything we wanted, he allowed us time to relax with our family and friends in between taking photos. This was the most important part for me as I wanted to be able to enjoy the day as well as having perfect photos.
I would always recommend Gareth to anyone who is looking for a photographer. A few days after our wedding he sent some pictures over for us to look at and we loved them.
We then finally received our stick with all our photos, these were amazing, just what we asked for. He was able to capture everything and even parts that I missed so this was great for us to look back on.
Truly grateful to Gareth for everything.

A wonderful experience

Myself and my now husband feel that Gareth was 100% the right choice for us. He was professional, well mannered but also fun too. I can be quite an anxious person and I felt that Gareth was like having a friend around which was so important to me, there was no pressure, no agenda, just went with the flow and captured natural moments which is what we wanted from our day. He gave us pictures and memories to last a lifetime. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gareth to all my friends and family. He even does engagement shoots too in your choice of setting. He asked if their were any specific moments / pictures we wanted capturing which I LOVED, so personable. Thank you Gareth. Mr & Mrs Reilly.

Best photographer!

Gareth is such a lovely guy. It was a pleasure to have him as part of our special day.
Our photos are just stunning, both the wedding and engagement ones.
Super professional, our guests thought he was lovely.
Great choice if you have dogs at your wedding too! Our munchkins were no trouble for him at all!
Our photos arrived beautifully packaged on a branded USB in a lovely little pouch which is a wonderful keepsake.
Don’t hesitate to book him!! Ohh and he also had these amazing video glasses, so we had some stunning video footage as well that we were not expecting!
We had to change our engagement shoot date and he was so accommodating, nothing was too much trouble!
And he also put up with my numerous WhatsApp messages!
Thank you so much Gareth, love the Catons xx
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
