    Incredible and Absolute Professional!

    We booked Gary to photograph our ceremony at Chelsea Old Town Hall and then continue with us for part of our intimate dinner reception, and he was absolutely incredible from start to finish.

    From our very first call, Gary was warm, friendly and incredibly communicative. We were still quite new to wedding planning at that stage and didn’t really know what to expect, so he was brilliant at walking us through everything and making the whole process feel much less daunting.

    On the day itself, his experience really showed. He knows Chelsea Old Town Hall inside and out and was so helpful in guiding us, our families and our guests through everything. As a couple, you walk into the day feeling slightly overwhelmed because it is such a surreal experience, and Gary was fantastic at keeping things moving, managing family dynamics and requests, and making sure the focus stayed on us.

    Although Gary is known for his candid style, he also took great care with the group photographs we wanted, making sure everyone was positioned properly, the light was right and nothing felt rushed. He was constantly thinking about the small details, from where people should stand to how my dress was sitting, while still making everything feel relaxed and natural.

    He was also just such a lovely presence throughout the day. All of our guests commented on how friendly and professional he was, and we felt completely at ease with him.

    We were absolutely thrilled with the photographs, and were amazed to receive them only around five days after the wedding. The turnaround was far quicker than we expected, and the quality was fantastic.

    Gary is an incredibly talented photographer and a true professional. He brings so much experience, calm and instinct to the day, while still being open to trying different ideas and capturing moments you may not even have thought of yourself.

    We genuinely couldn’t have been happier with our experience and would recommend Gary without hesitation to anyone getting married, especially at Chelsea Old Town Hall.

    Thank you so much, Gary!

    Only gave 5 stars because couldn't give 10!

    Gary was an invaluable part of our wedding day. He truly went above and beyond in helping us to plan and carry out a seamless day, capturing every special moment, and putting us and our guests at ease both before and all during the day. Many guests came up to ask where we found such a brilliant photographer! He was unobtrusive, extremely well-organised, friendly, intuitive and had good ideas on how best to capture great shots with minimal ‘posing’. We are thrilled with our photos (which he sent us the very next day!) and would highly recommend Gary to any couple getting married and looking for a stress-free experience with a professional, knowledgeable, and highly talented photographer who was a wonderful presence on the day.

    Great experience

    Gary was great photographing our civil wedding ceremony at Chelsea town hall - he had expansive knowledge of the venue / area which was really helpful in the planning process and day of co-ordination (being very responsive to messages in the lead up). He took great photos, gave good directions and was very flexible in agreeing to stay later last minute. He turned photos with a rapid time frame and we are really happy with the output - highly recommend!

If you’re looking for a photographer who delivers amazing photos while bringing the absolute best energy to your day, look no further. Every single guest raved about him.

    Gary was the most perfect addition to our special day.

    On our first call with him he helped us plan the entire day based on his experience. And then on the day he was flawless, he helped with everything with in such a calm, considered, kind and creative way. He helped coordinate and adjust plans as things changed - which really helped us be present and enjoy our day.
    On top of that - we got photos by the time we landed for our honeymoon. They all were perfect and captured the day beautifully.
    As someone that doesnt feel comfortable in front of a camera he made me feel instantly comfortable.

    Thanks Gary for helping to create an unforgettable day and some beautiful pictures that we can look back with.

    Absolutely Picture Perfect - We couldn't be happier!

    We found Gary through researching photographers tagged at Say I Do Islington, and he came highly recommended to us by Laura at Frederick's and hiring him was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

    From the moment we met, we instantly hit it off. Gary walked us through what the day would look like, taking the extra time to explain every detail and sharing his expert advice on what works best. It was clear right away how much experience he has, especially with how Islington Town Hall operates. His insider knowledge gave us total peace of mind, and we knew instantly we could trust him to make everything run smoothly.

    On the actual wedding day, he was absolute perfection. Not only were we thrilled with how he worked, but all of our guests completely fell in love with him too! He made everyone feel at ease and captured the magic of our day so effortlessly.

    We couldn't be happier with our wedding day and, most of all, our stunning photos. We would recommend Gary in a heartbeat to anyone looking for an incredible wedding photographer!

    Islington Town Hall wedding

    Gary photographed our wedding at Islington Town Hall at the beginning of August. The whole experience was outstanding beyond words. Gary was friendly, professional, and warm. He has expert knowledge of Islington Town Hall - not only the best spots for photos, but also just how everything will run, which eased us completely on the day. If you’re thinking of working with Gary for your wedding, do it! Every guest we spoke to during the day mentioned the photographer and how great he was, which truly speaks volumes.

    Simply the best!

    Gary was not only familiar with our wedding venue, but he also provided the style of photography that we were looking for - not too formal but still reflecting the essence of the day. He understood exactly what we wanted and managed to capture both the significant moments of the wedding and the whole mood of the day with some less formal shots of us and our guests. He gave excellent advice, not only in relation to the photography, managed the photo shoot with authority without being overbearing, and blended in with the occasion. We are delighted with the photos and the whole service Gary provided. We would not hesitate for one moment to recommend Gary as your wedding photographer.
