Hi I’m Paul, and I’m an accomplished photographer with more than 15 year’s experience. After spending many years as a documentary photographer, I am now an accomplished wedding photographer. My approach is helping people feel comfortable so I can capture the day in an unobtrusive way. Having me to guide you whilst being friendly and approachable breaks down all barriers and this is what makes for some fantastic candid photographs on your special day.
I offer three packages, with my all day package being the most popular. From bridal preparations to just after the first dance, all photographs professionally edited in high resolution supplied on a USB stick, online viewing exclusive for yourself, friends and family. For all Hitched customers I’m offering a £150 discount! Normal price £1,200 but for Hitched customers my all day package is now just £1,050!
My offer comes with the following:
•Personalised USB and keepsake presentation Box, either leather bound or linen with the colour of your choice.
•Pre-consultation all the way to the wedding.
•All day coverage.
•Professionally edited photos in high resolution supplied on a USB stick.
•Additional printing including custom made Wedding albums available (price on application)
•Password protected online gallery, ideal for use with Facebook and all social media.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions and please take a look at my website www.paulgapper.com where you will see a little more about me, the way I work and links to my Instagram and Facebook pages.
I look forward to hearing.
Many thanks Paul

Like a fairytale
Words can’t express how thrilled we are with Paul Gapper’s beautiful photographs. We booked him having seen his portfolio on his website and loved how he captured beauty and personality in every picture.

We couldn’t believe how exquisite the photos have turned out to be. I honestly think a few could be award winning. Friends who weren’t there on the day but saw the pictures said they looked like the cover of Vanity Fair.
What we loved on the day was that he whisked out an umbrella to protect me leaving the car and entering the church, and throughout was so discreet we forgot he was there. He captured the intimacy and the specialness of the ceremony so gorgeously.
We then had a series of pictures in amongst the flowers outside the church, followed by a photo shoot at Kensington Palace Gardens. To our delight, without even letting us know, Paul had gone on a recce previously and had worked out all the most spectacular backdrops. The sun had come out by then, and the pictures taken with sunlight filtering through leaves behind us are just magical. Our photos look like a fairytale and we couldn’t be happier to have this treasure trove of precious memories thanks to Paul.

Special pictures for a special day
We met Paul at a wedding fair. He was friendly and easy going. We liked his work a lot and decided that he will be our wedding photographer. Paul was brilliant on the day. We had some foreign traditions incorporated throughout the day and Paul captured all important moments in the pictures. Our wedding photos are awesome and we absolutely love them. They are a beautiful reminder of our special day :-)
