Last update: March 2024

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!

Blown away!

We have just seen the photos from our wedding and are blown away.

We laughed and cried our way through our album of photos. They were above and beyond what we hoped for.

A lovely mixture of formal and informal photos which captured our day and our love perfectly.

From our initial contact with Paul to delivery of our album of photos, Paul has been professional, friendly and understanding.

We couldn't have wished for more.

Our day was captured in beautiful photographs...

Paul was friendly from the moment we first met. He gave me helpful advice and made recommendations. There was no pressure to hire him. I found him easy to get along with, responsive to my queries and eventually hired him for our wedding. Paul took beautiful pictures without being intrusive during our wedding ceremony and reception. He displayed a level of thoughtfulness and care which came through in our pictures. I would definitely recommend Paul!

Outstanding throughout with amazing quality of photos

Paul is very friendly and professional and most importantly he really listens to what you want out of the final photos. On the run up to the wedding day, communication was excellent with regular emails and a scheduled zoom call to discuss everything in more detail. On the day Paul captured absolutely beautiful photos and moments throughout. The amount and quality is second to none. He was great at helping organise group photos and also very skilled at capturing some of those special action moments throughout. All of the guests commented on his openness and genuine warmth also.

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts and have not enough words to recommend Paul for your wedding celebrations!

Amazing, professional and great quality photos

Paul is great he would snap away all day getting genuine reactions from ourselves and our guests but also he captured some lovely ‘staged’ photos that we wanted and they have come out better than we expected. Definitely would recommend Paul

Paul captured the whole personality of our wedding and our guests

Paul was an absolute wizard, he managed to capture the personalities and the full character of the wedding day through the photos. Brad and I really wanted to ensure the photos were candid and less staged, and really caught every guest 'in action': hugging, laughing, socialising. Paul has given us memories of a lifetime with our elderly grandparents dancing, our nearest and dearest friends laughing, and our parents having a little cry as we said our vows.

Paul was so professional, and always contactable if we had any questions or requests, and he knew how to make us feel comfortable (despite both being very camera shy!) Couldn't recommend Paul enough - thank you Paul!

A fantastic photographer who really helped on the day

Me and my wife were absolutely over the moon with the service we received from Paul. On our wedding, nothing was too much and he really helped guide us through the whole day which really put us at ease. Professional and friendly with all the guests with a smile on his face the whole day. I would highly recommend Paul for wedding photography without a second thought. The websites are now on a well presented website that makes sharing the moments SO much easier with other friends and family.

Brilliant!

Paul did an amazing job at capturing our wedding day! He was professional, friendly and positive and we are thrilled with the end result. On our wedding day it chucked it down but you could barely tell from the photos - they look amazing! Paul was also really good at guiding us through the day, making sure we got all the photos we wanted. We also really appreciated how he made time to come with us to our wedding venue beforehand to look around for photo locations. Honestly cannot recommend highly enough - thank you Paul!

We highly recommend Paul!

My husband and I hired Paul to take photos at our wedding ceremony and reception on the 24th of April 2023. Even before the big day, he was very helpful over the phone. He even gave us the address to a bakery that could cater to our needs! He proved also to be very personable and attentive to special requests.

On the day of the ceremony, he was both very warm and professional. Taking posed pictures felt very natural and relaxed and he made the whole experience of our wedding feel that much better.

The photos arrived two weeks after the wedding and were absolutely gorgeous: whether posed or candid, all of them managed to convey the wonderful moments of joy, love, and life of our ceremony and reception. Not only did we receive the pictures in digital format, but we also got the higher definition files on a beautiful USB key, along with some physical prints, in a lovely wooden box.

In a nutshell, if you're looking for the ideal photographer for your wedding, we would recommend Paul in a heartbeat!

Wonderful to work with

Paul was a dream to work with and we are beyond pleased with the resulting photos. We had to change the reception location close to the day and Paul was very understanding and flexible. On the day he was punctual, brought a lot of professionalism and calmness and a number of our guests commented afterwards that they really enjoyed his presence. The turnaround for the photos was quick and we truly love the edits, compositions and feel of them. I highly recommend Paul to anyone!

A photographer that cares!

Working with Paul felt like we were working with a friend. He made us feel at ease and took the time to get to know us, understand us, and help us overcome the shyness of the camera! He took on board what we wanted but also encouraged us with certain shots that from his experience would work - and they did! He communicated with speed. Took the time to go to the venue to see what could work well for us. This helped to speed up "away time" from our guests on the day, as we already knew what we wanted to capture. Guests felt comfortable around him and he just felt part of the guest list. I have no hesitation in recommending Paul to anyone who wants to capture their special day.

Full Day Wedding photography (Ceremony + Reception)

We hired Paul to be our wedding photographer and can’t recommend him highly enough. He was attentive from beginning to end, providing helpful suggestions throughout. He took the time to meet with us and visit the venues before the day. On the day, Paul was with us from make-up preparations at the start, until the dance floor kicked off in the evening. He ably organised photos and caught our guests at their best, while not imposing himself. We valued his calming presence and experienced manner. We were extremely happy with our final photos (and how quickly he had them ready!). Thank you, Paul. V&B
