Paul Gapper Wedding Photography is located in Wimbledon and proudly holds numerous awards. Paul has established himself as an esteemed provider within the wedding industry, he is a leading supporter of inclusion and diversity and has skilfully documented over 400 weddings, many from diverse backgrounds. He dedicates his time to capturing the enchanting moments filled with love, laughter, and tears of joy. He knows where to be at the right time, when to stay in the background and when to step forward to capture those special moments and how to help everyone feel comfortable so he can capture the day in an unobtrusive way.
How it started
Photography is an enormously important part of his life and has been ever since he bought his first camera to travel to India many years ago. It's his passion to create intoxicating imagery, weave captivating stories, and to help create the visual legacy of all of his couples. He gained much of his expertise whilst working for The World Religious Photo Library, where he had to research his subject matter in great depth, which often led to forging significant personal contacts in diverse religious and secular communities. With over 15 years as a wedding, travel, and documentary photographer, you can expect someone who is an expert, knowledgeable, someone who cares, gets on well with people, integrates with your guests and gets on well with your nearest and dearest!
What are weddings?
It's all about good people, good music and throwing a wild party that everyone will remember for life! That's why he will bring an informal style that lets you make the most of it all in the moment. The question he often gets asked is, do you know the couple, are you a friend? That's because he’s basically like an extra guest, just with a couple of cameras and loads of back up equipment of course!

Absolutely amazing!
From the moment we stumbled across Paul’s page we knew we wanted him to photograph our wedding. We loved his style of work and could clearly see that he really had a passion for photography . From the moment we spoke to him he made us feel at ease and explained everything really well. On the day of the wedding, he was absolutely amazing. He couldn’t do enough for us! He was constantly fixing the brides hair and dress to get the best photos he could and also made sure he got beautiful sunset photos. Every single guest said how warm, welcoming and how amazing he was at making sure he got around the room and got the photos that we wanted. Then we received the photos 3 weeks after our wedding and we were absolutely blown away we knew they were going to be good, but they were everything we imagined and more. He presented us with a beautiful box with a photo book and a USB Which we can now keep forever . Paul’s attention to detail is unmatched and he really is an amazing wedding photographer. We would highly recommend him If you want somebody that is going to capture every part of your day and make you feel at ease!

Paul’s an amazing wedding photographer
Paul was absolutely amazing throughout our wedding day, he made us and our guests feel so so comfortable while he was taking pictures of us, which showed in the final pictures. Both my husband and I aren’t normally ones to take lots of pictures of ourselves, but throughout the planning process he put us at ease by asking us what we’d like to be captured and whether candid pictures were something we’d prefer. He also tested out a few ideas on the day, which we wouldn’t have normally done but the pictures look amazing. During the day his car got caught in the slight flooding of the river, which he successfully rescued, but he didn’t let this distract him and even took pictures of the wedding with just his wet socks on while his shoes dried. Hugely appreciated this commitment! So, I can’t recommend Paul enough, he’s lovely and will be a great photographer on your day.

Amazing guy and 1st class photographer!
Wow what can we say, from the very first point of contact Paul was very easy to talk with and made us feel at ease. Neither of us are naturals in front of the camera, so meeting Paul prior to our wedding, getting to know him and having a pre-wedding photo shoot made us totally relaxed. He is so friendly & professional and captured our day from start to finish perfectly. He took a mixture of shots, including plenty of candid photos, plus some black & whites with pops of colour. When we received our photos we were blown away, we love them all! Paul really captured the happiness of our day! And it’s wonderful to be able to send a link to our guests, ensuring they can download their favourites too.
We would highly recommend Paul - your wedding day is in safe and creative hands!

Brilliant Photographer, Great Photos
We hired Paul just a couple of months before our wedding after having issues with the photographer we had originally booked.
Right from the very first message Paul was very communicative, we instantly new on the first call we had with him that he was the photographer we wanted. Friendly, open and answered all our questions (even the silly ones).
We had an engagement shoot soon after booking Paul, this was a great opportunity to meet Paul and for us to get to know each other ahead of our wedding.
On the actual day Paul was great, other that when we were doing group and couple shots you would not have known he was there. After receiving the photos, we have both wondered just how he got the shots he did with neither of us noticing.
My husband is from Afghanistan and it was important to us to ensure we had some Afghan traditions in our day, when we explained this to Paul and let him know that one of these traditions would be later in the evening he offered to stay later to capture them.
The photos Paul captured are amazing, we have both enjoyed reliving our day through the photos. Paul was also able to get these to pretty quickly.
In short, Paul is fantastic at what he does, we cannot recommend him enough.

Perfect photographer for our perfect day
We could not have asked for a better photographer to capture our day. Throughout the planning right up until the day Paul was professional, responsive to all emails/messages and we just love his style of photography.
On the day he bought such vibes and laughs not just for us but to all our guests aswell. Everyone loved him and now we have received the pictures it was like we relived our whole day again. So many in the moment funny shots which of course we did not see on the day but looking back at those moments he captured was just amazing.
Thank you so much Paul

Highly recommend Paul!!
We meet Paul at the Lambeth wedding fair 2023 and I looked Paul up on my hitched app and read his reviews! I messaged him to book him straight away one of the best decisions we made. I felt that Paul is a very relaxed and calm person and did not rush us when he is was taking our pictures. Paul highly recommended doing an engagement photos session and he was right! We were camera shy people but looking at our beautiful wedding pictures I see two relaxed, natural looking couple looking at the camera. We absolutely love our pictures and cannot wait to work with you to put them in our Wedding album. Thank you Paul

Super wedding photographer
We chose Paul to be our wedding photographer after meeting at a wedding fair, and couldn't have been happier with our choice! We got to know him a bit better at an engagement shoot at our venue on a rainy Saturday morning, and he was great at loosening us up and making us appear more natural and have fun with the photos, despite the mud and weather.
On the wedding day itself, his work was exemplary, and he really got the vibe of our day, capturing every minute in a natural, candid way, as well as patiently working through the more traditional staged group shots we wanted.
Paul was a joy to work with for all stages of the planning and the day proper, and delivered our final edited shots right on time. The personalised album and USB in their presentation case are something we will cherish as a reminder of our beautiful day!
Many thanks - Emma and George
