Hey, I'm Gary! Husband to the lovely Mandy and Dad to two amazing kids with a cute dog called Eric in tow. I'm also a lover of Kindred Souls who's prepared to travel anywhere you wish to marry and I promise to rock your wedding photography, whether it's at the top of a mountain or in your Mum's back garden and all of the places in-between. I specialise in storytelling, capturing all of those emotions and unposed moments that make up a wedding so that I can deliver powerful images of YOUR day.
I really care about what I do, and I don't want you to worry about anything from the start to the finish of your wedding photography experience. So if you love sunsets, a bit of banter, partying and also a photographer that always, always messages you back, let's do this. My overall approach to wedding photography is professional but informal. I'm very relaxed, easy to get on with and immerse myself in every wedding.
I talk to your family and guests. I hide in plain sight and get into the middle of the action when required in order to give you images that are both fun, modern and will give you a feeling of actually being there.

About Me: I don't want to ramble on about me too much so ill keep it short.
I am a Nottingham boy born and bred and very proud of my native city.
I moved to Liverpool in 1987 and it was there that I was lucky enough to meet my soul mate, Amanda.
I returned home to Nottingham in 2008, just after we were married on the beautiful Amalfi Coast in Italy.
We have since been blessed with our two amazing children, Frank and Elsie.
My creativity stems way back to my childhood and upon leaving school I qualified for art college.

It is so hard to select my favourite featured wedding from recent years as every single wedding is a very unique experience.
I'm based in Nottingham and my experience covers many different types of weddings from small intimate affairs to very large Sikh and Hindu events, usually over three or four days.
I love the stunning country house estates like Swancar Farm, Norwood Park and Stubton Hall and work in very prestigious Lincolnshire venues like Doddington Hall, Belvoir Castle and Stoke Rochford Hall.

Wedding Photography Prices: Popular dates do get booked very quickly, typically 12-18 months in advance.
I never book more than one wedding per day so once a date is confirmed it is removed from my diary.
My pricing is concise with no hidden costs for food, travel or any other erroneous expenses.
If you are within 60 miles of Nottingham all travel is inclusive, outside this area a fair fee to cover expenses is required.
All packages include a thorough consultation prior to the wedding to discuss any timings, wedding photography prices and the flow of your day i.e. locations, groups, requests etc.

I can’t recommend Gary enough he is an exceptionally talented photographer and a really lovely guy! Gary captured our wedding day beautifully and our photos are stunning. He put us and our guests at complete ease - it felt like he was another guest meaning there are so many natural photos that tell the story of the day. He also took some amazing sunset shots too. Thank you again Gary 😊

Gary was amazing from our first meeting to the last. I can’t stop looking at our wedding photos. He captured the day beautifully and felt so natural him being around. The guests were at ease and nothing was too much. Gary I thank you for making the best day even more special. The best moments relived through photography. Highly recommended to anyone.

Gary was amazing, He made me feel comfortable from the first meeting. We laughed through the Engagement photos, and the Wedding photos. We had so much fun, with his ideas. Half the time you didn't know he was there, which was fantastic, when you are just getting on with your day. Our photos are amazing, and he helped make our day very special.

Cannot recommend Gary enough. Absolutely lovely chap & the kind of person that you feel like you’ve known forever. He fitted into our day seamlessly and we had so many compliments about how lovely he was. We really wanted an unobtrusive and candid photographer and we got exactly that with Gary. He went above and beyond on the day and helped quash any pre wedding nerves or worries. Our photo’s are stunning in every way and we will treasure them for years to come. Thank you again

We went with our gut instinct and booked Gary before we'd met any other photographers and we were so glad we did! The images are amazing and really captured the mood of the day. Gary was open to some specific ideas we had as well as of course taking hundreds of amazing candid shots of our guests having a great time. The engagement shoot was great fun and allowed us to relax more on the day itself. The video has made nearly everyone who has seen it cry and our family's also love the images. Gary himself is also welcoming, friendly and helped our guests to feel at ease. Book him!
