About
On Hitched.co.uk since 2023
Last update: May 2026
I'm an award-winning wedding photographer and I take beautiful wedding photos for people who don’t like to pose.
My work has been exhibited in galleries worldwide, featured in books, published in The New York Times, and even displayed on billboards. Most impressively, it's also been printed on tea towels! I've won the Hitched wedding awards for three years running.
Before moving to London, I spent most of my life in Grimsby (home of fish and chips), so you'l find me down-to-earth and straightforward. Before photography, I was a full-time singer, performing everywhere from Buckingham Palace to Carnegie Hall—so I know how to handle high-pressure moments and deliver when it really counts.
What I love most about wedding photography is capturing real, heartfelt moments—the kind that take you straight back to your day, make you smile, laugh, and maybe even shed a tear. Telling your story through images that feel alive and full of emotion is what truly excites me.
I’ve been honoured to have my work featured in The New York Times, ArtDoc Photography Magazine, World of Interiors Magazine, and Dodho Magazine (Photography Awards). My photos have been officially selected for the International Photography Awards, received Honourable Mentions in the London Photography Awards, and been included in the Historic England National Archive. I’ve exhibited at Decode Gallery in Arizona, the Hellenic American Union Annual Exhibition, Art Square Gallery in New York, the Chania International Photo Festival, the Trieste Photo Festival, the Glasgow Gallery of Photography (Masters of Street Photography), the Shutter Hub Annual Exhibition at Cambridge University, and F-Stop Magazine’s 20th Anniversary Exhibition.

Incredible!
Gary shot our wedding on May the 4th. And all o can say is wow! His photographs are absolutely incredible. But not just only his photos but Gary himself helped the full day run so smooth. We genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better photographer and couldn’t recommend him more! Thankyou Gary! ❤️

Amazing experience
Gary was an absolute pleasure to work with from the start — warm, organised, and great at helping us plan out the day. Gary’s colleague Paul stepped in on the wedding day itself, slotted in seamlessly and put us at ease straight away.
Both Gary and Paul specialise in natural photography, and the results speak for themselves. The images are stunning — relaxed, genuine, and full of feeling. We couldn't be happier and would recommend them without hesitation.

Loved working with Gary!
We loved working with Gary! He was super responsive from our first enquiry, listened to what we wanted, and tailored his plan for the day around it. He took some gorgeous photos, and shared them all within three days. Our guests couldn’t believe how quickly we sent photos to them! He even stayed longer to photograph our entrance into the reception, which we really appreciated.
Gary put us all at ease very quickly. Neither of us particularly like posing for photos, and he was able to make us relax and laugh naturally — which led to some beautiful photos. We couldn’t be happier.

Great photographer, especially if you're camera-shy!
Gary was absolutely brilliant! We booked him about a year out after initially viewing his portfolio on his website.
Super friendly and so easy to talk to, me and my husband really built a good rapport with him, and he was so supportive of our ideas. You can tell he really loves what he does :)
We were really able to pin down the vibe of the day and that came through in the photos themselves - stunning quality and honestly brought such huge smiles to our faces when we viewed the finished work. (Nevermind the turnaround on the photos themselves - it was just under a week we were able to view them all, and also a high quality video reel of the day!). Especially as someone who's not super comfortable in front of the camera, he was really able to make me feel relaxed and actually enjoy taking pictures!
Gary remained professional on the day, ensuring we got the most photos without taking up too much time. We didn't feel like we lost much of the day at all, and he gave us some really sound advice that made things run much smoother.
I definitely wholeheartedly recommend Gary to anyone looking for a wedding photographer, absolutely lovely person with the skills to match!

Gary is an absolute super star!
I knew Gary would be great as he captured my friend's wedding, and I'm so glad we went with him too. From the first conversation, Gary was so helpful and explained how the day would look. He helped us plan our timeline which was great. On the day, he was such a star - calm when I was running late, got us back on track. He made the guests laugh and feel at ease, as well as giving direction for the bigger moments. He captured the fun of our day and all the little details. We are so pleased with the photos and he sent them to us alot quicker than I expected! I would recommend Gary 100% and it was a joy to have him with us for our day.

Gary is an amazing wedding photographer
We found out about Gary's services last year and are so thankful for everything he did for us on the day of the wedding. From the first consultation call to the day we worked together during the wedding, Gary made sure to help us feel comfortable and ensured that the day transitioned seamlessly. Even amidst the chaos that happens when having lots of family around, Gary worked with everyone to ensure that he captured many candid moments thoughtfully and beautifully. We will be looking at these moments for many years to come and remember those emotions because of Gary's amazing work. Thank you Gary for everything!

Gary is great :-)
Gary was recommended to me by a friend. From the start he was brilliant - we had an initial call with him then further calls and contact as required. He’s super quick and responsive (including having our photos ready in 48 hours).
We were so pleased with the photos - he talked us through what works well and we had both group shots and more informal shots from getting ready to the early evening. In addition to the amazing pictures he really helped me with what the day looks like (we organised the wedding in a shorter amount of time than most) and his experience and taking the time to talk through the things like timings like was invaluable.
I can’t recommend him highly enough, great value for money, super communicative, reliable and amazing photos. Thank you! xx

Wedding photography guru!
We used Gary for our wedding photography and we’re blown away by the results. I actually found Gary on Instagram but when I then spoke with my wedding reception, they recommended Gary too! What I really liked about Gary‘s approach was that he spent about 45 minutes on the phone to me during an initial inquiry talking me through the day telling me how things would work and made me think of shots and things that I hadn’t even thought of myself. He really cares about his clients and has so much experience to draw on and was so reassuring. Gary was really organised and most importantly we ended up with beautiful photos. We were expecting to wait a fortnight for photos- Gary got these back and edited to us within three days really couldn’t thank him anymore! I’ve got a taste for throwing parties now and wouldn’t hesitate to use him again!

The perfect photographer!
We booked Gary for our wedding at Chelsea Old Town Hall and he was absolutely amazing. We had time before the ceremony for a photoshoot, and he made us feel completely at ease. Before the ceremony, he gave us a little pep talk about what to expect which meant we felt so relaxed and were able to completely enjoy the ceremony. We had photos after the ceremony on the steps and he was very professional yet friendly and flexible the whole time. We are so happy with our photos and we would thoroughly recommend Gary to everyone! Thank you so much! M&M xx
