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

Versatile photography at its best!

Having considered several photographers for our small woodland wedding in August, we eventually settled on Gareth. His style of photography and option of the drone definitely helped seal it for us.
Having a small intimate wedding, we were keen to capture our day in a personal way. The finished photos definitely reflect this. We honestly could not of asked for more and cannot recommend Gareth enough. Thank you for capturing our day in the most beautiful way.

Relaxed autumn wedding…..

Gareth was fantastic from start to finish, very relaxed and it felt like he was part of our family. Very personable and easy going. Our pictures are beautiful and he manage to capture some unique moments in time.

Gareth was super fast at editing and sending photos and the little touches from using our confetti in the box to the stunning wooden USB and pouch just rounded off the whole experience.

Would highly recommend, we don’t live near Cheshire but I would definitely travel to use Gareth for future family photos.

Just the best

From our initial enquiry Gareth was nothing but accommodating. We had our engagement shoot prior to getting married and he got himself acquainted with the grounds of the wedding venue before shooting on the day. Gareth made us feel very at ease so on the day things went swimmingly. He is very professional and takes pride in his work. Thank you for being the best we could ask for and for giving us some amazing photos and memories.

Look no further

Gareth is exceptional in everything he does. He is relaxed and made us feel completely at ease and comfortable leading up to the day and the day itself. He just fitted in like a guest and got some incredible shots of our magical day.
His video was awesome and we have loved showing all our friends and family his pictures and videos.
We can’t wait to get loads blown up for our walls at home!
Thank you Gareth for being fantastic we highly recommend him you won’t regret it 👰🏼‍♀️🤵🏼

Gareth was Faultless - 10/10

Thank you Gareth for capturing so many precious memories of our big day. It was so important for us to have relaxed family photos on our big day, having 2 young children and having a severe shortage of photos of all 4 of us at home! Gareth understood the assignment, put us all at ease. Attention to detail was excellent, communication both before during and after the wedding was brilliant. I recieved my pen drive in a beautiful package today filled with hundreds of photos I can cherish. 5 stars, highly recommend *****

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

A brilliant addition to your wedding

From our first enquiry, Gareth was fantastic. He was friendly and happy to support us with any questions that we had. On our wedding day, he not only provided a brilliant service, but was great fun and easy to chat to which helped to make our day more relaxing - meta glasses were an added extra surprise! Alongside our videographer, he did an amazing job to provide us with a range of beautiful photographs, despite having winds from a recent storm to contend with! We also really appreciated Gareth listening to us as a couple - although it was our wedding day, we were not the most comfortable people around a camera! Gareth helped us to get some lovely shots without feeling pressured. Highly recommend Gareth, and can't thank him enough!

Gareth was absolutely amazing through out. From first booking in to the lead up to the day the communication was brilliant. Before we even got to the evening reception we had received snap shots from the ceremony. Gareth slotted right in and made everyone feel comfortable with the camera. Made up with the finished photos 10/10 for us. Thankyou so much ⭐️ x

Absolutely amazing!

Gareth was absolutely amazing! He made us feel so relaxed & we didn’t once feel uncomfortable in being photographed.

He was amazing with communication, always happy to answer any questions we may have had.

We had an engagement shoot with him a few months before our wedding & he was amazing! We suggested a location & he did all the research into where the best spots would be for the photos.

When it came to our big day, he couldn’t be more helpful! We didn’t notice he was there taking photos, he just felt like a guest at our wedding. He has a great personality & so easy to get on with.

The photos are amazing! Would highly recommend Gareth if you’re looking for a photographer.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
