Specialising in Camera-Shy Couples
If being in front of the camera feels intimidating, you’re not alone—and Gary understands that completely. He specialises in working with couples who feel camera-shy, turning what can be an awkward experience into something relaxed and enjoyable. Rather than just telling you to “act natural,” Gary offers gentle, easy-to-follow prompts that help you connect and express genuine emotions. This approach lets you focus on each other and the joy of your wedding day, resulting in stunning photos that truly reflect who you are.
An Experienced and Calming Presence
Gary’s background includes photographing world-famous musicians at major festivals, where fast-paced, low-light conditions are the norm. This experience has made him a calm, confident professional who can handle any challenge your wedding day might bring. Couples often praise how easy he is to work with and how he helps them feel relaxed—even when nerves are running high. With Gary behind the camera, you can trust that your memories are in expert hands.
